  1. .308 made me guffaw. I'm more of a 6.5 holemaker. Looks delicious, BTW. Gonna try this this weekend.
  2. Thanks for posting, guys. I really struggled deciding whether to do this show or Saucerful of Secrets on the 18th. I chose the latter and think I will enjoy it more. I saw Roger during the Pros and Cons tour so I think I'm up to date on his politics. Didn't need a booster. I would love for Gilmour to make another tour happen.
  3. Welp, a couple more bible-thumpers get tossed out. https://theathletic.com/3662870/2022/10/05/royals-fire-manager-mike-matheny/ I haven't seen a list of potential replacements yet but I'm hopeful that the criteria for selection won't be church attendance or George Mason alumni. We have a roomful of those guys that have to be next on the chopping block. It was nice leading the league in good husbands, sons and fathers but they couldn't win ballgames. I wonder if they could just hire Driveline to take over pitching development.
  4. Wordle 466 2/6* 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 proud of myself. Been on a 4-5 try binge lately.
  5. I will always rec a picture of “Doc”.
  6. Roundabout trail for me. Goemaw had something from widerightnattylight that referenced the statues thread on the shag. I found the baseball forum and thought” my school has a championship”and posted something stupid. @Beau Vine told me to go fuck myself and here we are.
  7. I drive older vehicles. This will be a great way to add a couple of extra crumple zones to my ride.
  8. I pretty much keep my mouth shut around here. I check this thread a couple times every day, though. Some entertaining motherfuckers posting here, for sure.
  9. It's not a purge but it's a start. Moore exercised Matheny's option for next year so I don't know yet if he will be retained but I'm pretty sure that CalfuckingEldred will be gone. A couple extra million to make MM go away shouldn't be a big thing. My biggest question is whether JJ Picollo will be an improvement as GM using his own brain. It has been pretty evident that he was only a puppet for Moore up to now. Time will tell. From 1970 up until the original owner, Ewing Kaufman, died the Royals were one of the best run franchises in baseball. It's a shame to see how far this organization has fallen in the years since. I have been a fan from the beginning but it has been tough. I HAVE seen a Championship more recently than Yankees fans have so I have that going for me.
  10. If this is for anything other than a front office purge, I'm gonna do something rash. The Athletic did a piece on how bad the Royals pitching development has been and put the bulk of the blame on Dayton Moore. Moore shot back in another interview and called the reporting false and cowardly. It wasn't a good look being that unaccountable. Maybe Sherman has had/seen enough. This is like waiting for Christmas morning.
  11. There has been a lot of good advice so far. Listen to these assholes, they are a remarkable collection. I'm sending all of the good thoughts I can. Hang in there, Man.
  12. He had a pretty remarkable transformation. He went from being really obnoxious to somebody that was pretty cool. Every so often I scroll through the photography thread and see some of his posts. Gives me pause.
  13. For a quick minute, I thought Phlegm was back.
  14. TBH, this was my take as well. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. I can shoot a goose from my back deck anytime I would want to and I just might do it now. In season, of course.
  15. Mid morning snack. The darker summer sausage is smoked Canada Goose. Delicious. I’m not sure what kind of cheese was in it but it was bland. Shoulda left it out. The other sausage needed help. No flavor. One of our customers made both and sent it home with our field tech. Call me Brat, I can’t get it to rotate and don’t care enough to try harder.
  16. Put a thatch roof on that bitch and it will purty right up.
  17. If you don't mind, I'm in favor of you posting a couple of these every week. Echoes, if you please. Well, shit. I posted before I watched the first vid. I went straight to "angry Floyd". This is the best part of Echoes. Muchas gracias
  18. Me too. Daughter bought the tickets for my birthday.
  19. When Kevin Harlan was doing PBP on the Chief's radio broadcasts, Lenny was the color guy. He was never afraid to tell it like it was and pulled no punches. Very refreshing compared to the cheerleaders that they have had since he left. I'm glad things worked out for Harlan and he was able to rise the ranks but I really miss the banter between those two. Lenny was the best. Like somebody upstream posted, Len was working local TV while he was still playing. He did it all, news, weather and sports. Whatever was needed. RIP, Lenny. You will always be my favorite Chief.
  20. Your living room video reminded me of seeing them at Arrowhead in KC in '94. Except you didn't have a huge weed cloud drifting around.
  21. Have a nice day? Nope. That's Mister Bill
  22. Goddamit, I miss Rick Wright. If I had the power to bring back one dead rocker I'm not so sure it wouldn't be him.
