  1. The rare event that feels like a "hook'em" is correct from me. Glad to hear it.
  2. They just don't make pumpkins like they used to.
  3. Is anybody else watching for the unveiling of the new generation of Scouts? I'm guessing it will borrow from the 800 series more than the Scout II but I'm still excited. https://www.scoutmotors.com/ This is the one that I posted years ago on the other site. It had a small 6 cylinder and 4-speed. It is in my son's possesion now and he had it converted to an LS motor and some Corvette transmission. It hauls ass now.
  4. Pretty sure it was @Brisketexan. Spiral staircases are no match for a bird.
  5. Big Boy is in Kansas now. We were going to see it in Salina but I see that it is going to go through Grainfield, Kansas on Sunday. That is where YGIFS's in-laws live and he and I had several conversations about the desolate nature of the area and general rubelike populace. I figure we will mosey up that way on Sunday and I'll pour one out for Lobo somewhere around the tracks.
  6. I’m here now. Texting with my kids during the game. Good win. Gonna get two games at home now.
  7. Uh, ya gotta link or do I just search Amazon?
  8. Damn, Bruin, I missed this earlier. How are you getting along 6 months later? Better, I hope.
  9. I haven't read the thread in a bit but there is an autoimmune thread in this forum. There might be some helpful info in there. Good luck.
  10. The homely bitch in red is the only one that I wouldn't accept.
  11. Jesus Fuck, Nightengale is such a chode. Welp, I guess Houston can go ahead and plan to play Minny. Royals had a good run.
  12. According to the Chiefs beat writer for The Athletic: With less than a minute remaining, the Falcons faced a fourth-and-inches from the Chiefs’ 13-yard line. The Falcons lined up in a condensed formation featuring two tight ends and two running backs, similar to one they used in the second quarter to score a 1-yard touchdown. Before getting under backup center Ryan Neuzil, Cousin used a signal, using his hands to tap his helmet multiple times, to communicate with his teammates. “They saw us all kind of loading the box and they said, ‘Check, check,’” linebacker Leo Chenal said. “We knew that they were alerting to an outside run. (Linebacker) Nick (Bolton) just read it perfectly and took the shot.” Bolton, who suffered a lower back injury earlier in the fourth quarter, was the lone defender the Falcons didn’t block. He sprinted upfield behind Chenal, who created penetration against left tackle Jack Matthews and tackled running back Bijan Robinson behind the line of scrimmage for a 3-yard loss.“I saw that and cheated over a little bit,” Bolton said of the Falcons’ formation. “It’s a rule around the locker room: If a tight end is (supposed to block No.) 54, man, he’s going to set the edge for you. I saw Leo set the edge and I went off his butt and I made a play. I trusted the play call we had and I already knew where I was going on the snap.”
  13. ISWYDT and I'm hoping like hell that it gets sidetracked.
  14. Had this exchange with my kids after a trip to Field of Dreams, Saturday.
  15. The wife and I were at Field of Dreams Saturday evening. Many JEJ quotes were uttered. This gave me a lump in my throat.
  16. We were here 10 years ago to see WSU kick UNI ass in basketball when Baker and VanVleet were playing. We never made it downtown. Big mistake. This is a really cool place. We came up last night so the wife could go to Field if Dreams this morning. It’s been a lot more fun than I expected.
  17. Singlespeed. Ate brats at Weblo’s or whatever the name is. Shit, there is a chocolatier across the street and a a French pastry shop attached to the hotel. I’m in diabetic heaven. I could live here.
  18. Congrats Al! I spent most of today in Cedar Falls day drinking. The surly Iowa fans right now in the Blackhawk Hotel bar would warm your heart. Despondent doesn’t quite cover the vibe they are giving off. Well done!
