  1. Her abduction is the real puzzler. No reports of struggle or any type of scene by residents of the apartment complex. Her purse, phone & the baby's diaper bag were all in her apartment. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary at her home. It would be hard to imagine a mother not screaming bloody murder if someone--even a best friend--approached her with a gun & told her to get in the car. 

     

  2. So Heidi gets home from dropping kid off at school w/ her newborn, BFF and her boyfriend are there under the guise of driving up as a surprise to see them, somehow convince her to get into the car without suspicion (maybe "hey, let's go buy baby a gift"), kidnap her, kill her, & try to pass the baby off as their own. Allegedly.

    Get the needle ready.

    As long as it includes trade federations, sanctions, blockades, and senate debates I'll be happy.

    1) add tractor beam/shield that needs disarming

    2) blow up star/galaxy destroying space station

    3) ?

    4) profit

     

  4. We'll be there xmas day at the Drafthouse. I don't know that my wife & I will burst out into laughter the way we did in the theater when we heard the infamous "I hate sand' line from ROTS (and got the stink eye from some SW nerds who took umbrage), or the Leia Poppins moment from the last one, but one never knows.

  5. I'm actually curious how the banker running the branch allowed almost $90K to vanish from the vault over a few months. He basically was swiping five grand at a time & falsifying deposit records. If I'm the branch manager who allowed that under my watch I'm looking for a different job.

  6. God I love Ernie. Basically told Tiger to quit bitching about the crowds when Woods went on a bit too much about the atmosphere. Said they've all dealt with heckling at these events and cited how the New York crowds treated the international team a few years ago. Els denounced fans stepping over the line, but basically told him to stop being a bitch, go play golf.

  7. I like this format with captains making serpentine selection & watching them consult w/ co-captains. Couples is really involved in particular.

     Els picks first:

    Abraham Ancer vs Tiger Woods (calls his own name first)

    Hideki Matsuyama vs Tony Finau

    CT Pan vs  P Reed

    Haotong Li vs DJ

    Adam Hadwin vs DeChambeau

    Sungjae Im vs Gary Woodland

    Joaquin Nieman vs Patrick Cantlay

    Adam Scott vs Xander Schauffele

    Beyong Hun An vs Webb Simpson

    Justin Thomas vs Cameron Smith

    Louis Oosthuizen vs Matt Kuchar

    Marc Leishman vs Rickie Fowler

    I like to tell myself that Bill Hicks in 2019 would be the same as Bill Hicks in 1991.

    Sadly, he'd probably be MAGA and that make me sad.

    Very close to neg repping this comment. Hicks was raging against the idiocy of Trump & Trumpkins 25 years before they existed.

  9. I learned this morning when driving to work via my car's display that the Indigo Girls' biggest hit is actually titled 'Closer to Fine' and not 'Closer, I'm Blind' as I'd always thought. I shared this with Mrs Ghost over lunch & she about lost her shit with laughter. Thirty fucking years I've had it wrong.
