Since this was the only post I had in the topic, I'm assuming this is the one where I didn't refer to eternity? "Think about, what we worldly know, about eternal life. Over the course of 'eternity', our Earth, and all the attempts we try to make Mars a new home, are just ego-hopehull-bull####. There's zero probability humanity can turn Mars into a more hospitable planet than Earth- it's just stupid people dreaming about things, really. god bless us one and all. " Please, I didn't just piss-ant change my stance, I thought the entire concept was poorly thought out from A to Zinc. Want a truly scary conversation, let's talk about what eternal life looks like in the planet/galaxy/universe in which we currently reside. Don't blame me, look at the one who's romanticizing eternity on a melting ice cube.

I will be. First off, the concept of 'living for eternity', as we currently know it in the non-afterlife sense, is fanciful, but nobody who thinks it through could possibly want that. Odds are infinity to one that there won't even be a place to exist in this eternity, then what for the rest of all time- earth certainly won't be here. Have you seen this planet? Given its time to shine, it's stunningly beautiful in so many ways and locations. Making Ice Planet Hoth habitable, where we're looking for any scrap of water in the hopes to grow literally anything edible, vs. just taking care of what we've got- glaringly gorgeous, built amazingly for our existence, under our feet and in our nostrils, is astoundingly ridiculous. I'm all for imaginative thinking, but when it crosses over into an excuse to trash my air, water, and the attainable beauty of this planet, then it's more stupid than imaginative. I've kinda had to wade through stupid people trying to kick me in the balls for much of my life. You'll miss by at least a few miles.

In another answer to that, have you found a way to be fascinated by your own life?

Think about, what we worldly know, about eternal life. Over the course of 'eternity', our Earth, and all the attempts we try to make Mars a new home, are just ego-hopehull-bull####.

Old Disney deserves some love too-

Mel Blanc, Warner Brothers... Bugs, Wile E, Elmer Fudd, Taz, Marvin the Martian, 'Rocky Curtains', the WWII propaganda, Yosemite Sam, the red hair-monster, Wagner. Pioneers, Pirates and Redskins, stupid ducks, stupid hunters, paranoid hunting dogs, there was just nothing left uncovered by these folks. want one lump or two? Bugs Bunny/Looney Toons/Mel Blanc are just untouchable imho. Not to say others can't do great, but that is an amazing act to follow. Stuff like Tom and Jerry was 50,000 miles behind. Very Honorable Mention to 'Speed Racer'. ***** amazing cartoon!!! It used foley instead of the traditional orchestration, so it was so... just... different. Later they'd call it anime, but at the time it was just a cartoon set to sounds other than orchestral.

If he'd kept the problem to 40 days and 40 nights, I would've been fine with it...

And then the back-to-back 83 yard TD's to #83, Lee Evans... I was so pumped- it was a sign from God himself!!! or maybe something else

Classic Ralph at his football worst. As soon as I saw the contract, I knew they undersold him as a RT and would switch him to left. I think it took like 3 weeks, due to, cough, 'injury'. Ralph screwed this fan-base so many times over the years by hard-ballin' great players. Can't blame Peters for bailing. Look at this crap- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/jason-peters-1179/cash-earnings/ Always gonna love this play... I was so optimistic haha:

With my gal having a Subaru, and her friend with a Honda CR-V, I've gotten to learn a bit about two of the cars I fear the most on the roads. The CR-V has like 6 different displays telling you different angles of how you could be driving more fuel-efficiently. Between staring at all those screens, and trying to do your best on the gas, no wonder they're on my, 'Top Cars Likely to be at the Front of a Problem' list. The Subaru has an unwanted assist for just about everything. In an emergency and need to hit the gas to get around a danger spot- no worries, the Subaru will slam on the brakes for you. (It eventually realizes you really meant what you're doing, and hopefully hasn't killed you in that moment.) Need to be nudged back into your lane- Subaru's got you covered... until you're flying off a cliffside on a sharper corner... too bad you got too lulled into complacency to realize you actually needed to use the steering wheel. The lane departure warning is also a handy feature for pissing off your passengers. We took it on a road trip after she first got it, and of course I'm testing out all the fun stuff. It probably took about a hundred miles, but she was ready to blow from that lane departure warning chime haha. That thing's been off ever since. So if you're ever wondering why some drivers pull some pretty stupid *****, like slamming the brakes for seemingly no reason, it may be the 'ingenious' car. Again, no thank you on self-driving vehicles, but I guess I don't have a say...

That's funny, and I want to agree... buuut, first I'm accustomed to the stupid things other drivers can and will pull off, a computer can glitch anything imaginable at any moment- no way to anticipate anything as a fellow driver, cyclist or pedestrian. Second, I don't trust anything from the brainchild of the Silicon Valley super-douches. A small number of those self-serving weasels are being given carte blanche to experiment on our roads, and with the lives of every person who is in their thoughtless way... and the rest of us are just supposed to go along with it? Other than (arguably) having a role in bringing medicine and technology together, I can't think of a single thing in life these genii have not made worse, or we couldn't have lived without their stunning advances. Maybe it'll lead to something better eventually, but I honestly expect a nuclear war due in no small part to AI. (Hopefully it's just because I liked the movie War Games as a kid,)

Haha- Thank You! I'll completely confuse her with a Takeo Spikes reference- she'll be powerless to stop my evil plans from there. )

Just goofing around, I might actually be able to get to the game- heading to Spain/Portugal on Sept 21st for a few weeks- just need to talk my chick into a brief diversion. )

Holy crap- so a pound of British silver is worth a buck 27?

I'm sure your crew had a great time in college. Other people knew what they wanted to do going in, and others used the general ed time to figure out what would thrill them going forward. Myself, I adjusted my major twice before settling in. Many of the people I graduated with stuck to it as well. (Communications- film department, and you've likely seen my work somewhere along the way.) I'll never understand why some people try to discourage other people from exploring life.

Is that money in litres or metric?

This reads like the last gurgles of a clogged sink.

That's actually a beautiful quote. Al Davis and John Madden, maybe not... but Irsay and Jonathan, probably a humble, true statement.

Oh c'mon folks- you've been doing this for decades now. Love Animal House, but this fantastic song is the frickin' Isley Brothers. Y'all are making me think Idiocracy was a documentary.

*** please excuse the technical difficulties and ***** compression haha- he also played acoustic and some electric guitar, but can't upload the photos.

Looks like I can upload 1 shot at a time

So last time I reviewed a Canadian concert, I think there were threats of nuclear war and relationship break-ups- thank you Cowboy Junkies. This Canadian concert review is going to be different. Once the plutonium night cleared from our souls, I invited my gal to go see Neil Young in Ridgeway, Washington... at the RV Life ****ing Rocks Amphitheater at the Cow Auction Fairgrounds. It went different. This was the first time either of is got to see him. Got lucky with seats, last-second score about 18 rows back, dead-center. Opening act was really talented and made for a good sound check. Then Neil Young hit the stage. Solo show with a surrounding cast of instruments he'd acquired in the 60's and early 70's. He told us what they'd cost when he bought them. .. Pawn shop in '68, this piano's been on tour with me since 1972... Stills gave me this guitar and told me I need to use it on my next 10 albums... It was like he'd taken his favorite instruments on tour with him, and you were invited to check out what they could do. It was like hanging out in his barn. and he was brilliant I've heard he's been diagnosed with some form of dementia, so I didn't know what to expect. I saw nothing but focus- I'd kinda expect nothing less. He generally went for the lesser-known and Buffalo Springfield-era stuff. Funny enough, that's some of my favorite music of his. It was gorgeous front to back, I couldn't have imagined him sounding any better in 1973, let alone 2023. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/neil-young/2023/rv-inn-style-resorts-amphitheater-ridgefield-wa-2ba7581a.html I own this LP, and I'd put the show I just saw right up there with it:

Does '89-'94 count as a decade? The Bills being ****ing stunning was just a part of it. My team rocked, life was good, music Finally beat the **** out of all the horrors of the 1980's. The better stuff seemed a bit dark- but the vibe was totally optimistic behind that. The only time I'd maybe trade for that was the moment 'You Really Got Me' needle-dropped on the airwaves. There was no music that couldn't be made from that instant on- God I would've loved to be a DJ dropping that album on the listening audience, and how exciting all these new genres of music must've sounded... The mid to late 60's, and some of the early 60's too, seems like an amazing time to experience who we are. ... and that's what it's all about!
