  1. The odometer of my daily driver currently sits at 199991. When I return from lunch it will show 200000.

    I don't know if I posted her earlier, probably did, but fuck it. Here she is again, Anita Baker. The song from @3:30 to 3:50 makes the hair on my neck stand up.

    Dad music

    My daughter told me that when she hears "Midnight at the Oasis" she thinks she needs to put on her jammies and brush her teeth.

    Way back in the day I would put 2-3 albums on the old Marantz at bedtime and put the kids to sleep. Santana "Abraxas", Pink Floyd "Atom Heart Mother" and Crosby Stills and Nash first album were favorites that they still listen to now. Stop Making Sense came along later but the tunes from that were staples in my son's bar band when he was still doing that.
  5. I've always thought it was sad and strange that every Mexican that migrates north forgets how to cook by the time they reach Kansas.
  6. I can't defend El Dorado but the school has been turning out some pretty good D1 players for the last 15-20 years. They have won 6 National Championships but none since 2008. My DIL is an Administrator (not athletic) at BCCC. She and my son host 5 or 6 athletes every year. Most of these kids are from very challenging backgrounds and this is their only chance to get ahead. It's cool to see the ones that realize this and really sad to watch the ones that will never get it. I have no idea what his situation is but maybe this kid will see the light.
  7. I don't think any of them have quit since Gil Meche.
  8. I was waiting for her to get booped. That might be an even better result.
  9. I was a kid when KC went to 2 of the first 4 Super Bowls. I expected they would have a few more along the way. Gotdam never thought it would take this fucking long to get back to another. When Kelce first arrived I thought he was a me-first jerk with a lot of talent. I can't remember a player that has done a similar job of becoming an outstanding teammate. Mahomes has had a lot to do with that but Andy is a wizard.
  10. He could fuck up an anvil. hotter than a fresh fucked fox in a forest fire.
  11. I think you are right, BB. It can't get back in the air soon enough for folks around here. The recent layoffs at Spirit Aerosystems are going to really hurt the Wichita economy if it drags out to mid summer. I deal with several of the small shops that make piece parts for the Max and Spirit and it's certainly going to be a hardship for them. ETA, but don't cut any corners getting there.
  12. Having grown up in a Boeing town, I suppose I have a bit more trust than many folks do but I won't hesitate to board a Max flight if that's the horse they give me to ride. This in no way means that I don't think Boeing fucked this up royally. I also believe they weren't the only player to blame. The first time I flew in a Max was to attend my niece's wedding. My brother was the CTO for the NH company that makes the fan blades for the LEAP engines so all members of the team that designed those were there. They were all jealous that I had flown on a Max and they hadn't yet. Careful what you wish for, I guess.
  13. I flew on a Max several times between KC and Boston when Southwest was using them for that non-stop route. I travel that way 4-5 times a year so if SWA puts them back on, I will. I suppose @immamac can figure out where to send the wreath but I doubt that he would need to.
  14. If brains was leather, he couldn't saddle a bug.
  15. Holy shit, the memories! I was a last minute replacement Ambassador from El Salvador to the Model UN in Wichita, freshman year, 1966. We stayed at the Broadview Hotel and I bought that book from the lobby book and magazine shop. My very first porn purchase. I was able to smuggle it into the house in one of my Dad's hand-me-down attache cases that also held everything there was to know about El Salvador that could be found in Encyclopedia Britannica.
  16. It's great to be in a league that provides this kind of matchup more often than once a decade. The rematch in Memphis should be must-see tv. Btw, @Underdog, there is a reason MVC fans have the phrase "Evansvilled" trademarked. They are now 0-3 in the Valley. Every year they take down a top team and then shit in their kitchen.
  17. Showed up on my Spotify weekly list. Really liking these guys.
  18. I thought the Trout for Merrifield trade was on.
  19. I'm more curious about a fury dump.
  20. ^^^^ I have an assortment of pnuematic strokers and thrusters on the shelf. We can probably hang it from your shoulders like a bass drum or make a belt of some sort. The compressed air thing will be cumbersome or we could design some sort of servo unit with a battery pack. Be a lot more expensive. Figure out which way you want to go and I'll get a quote worked up.
