  1. What about a Jew? Doubt that would ever fly.
  2. Looking at doing a trip somewhere in mid/late August, and CR is on the list. But is it too deathly hot in August? Wife and I and our two adult kids (21 & 19)
  3. I’m not defending anyone. My point is that, more than any art form, music is personal to the individual. I am a child of classic rock. There are folks that hate The Eagles. I should wish them to die in a fire. But if you don’t like the Eagles, so be it. Why should I care? But if you don’t like “The Godfather” or “ Goodfellas” then you are mental. Music is different. Movies are more objective than subjective.
  4. How can that be a thing? Countries can tariff whatever they want. And they will suffer the consequences.
  5. In defense of @ztejas, it just goes to show music is very personal. And that’s what makes it great. I think my very favorite musician of all time is Elton John. Some may agree, many will not. And my Doors post triggered many. But whatever floats your boat. You can’t judge music tastes, because it speaks to everyone differently. The Foo v The Killers is a comparison that shouldn’t be made. None should be compared to another. What you like is your own call.
  6. Just watched a commercial for a Christian publishing service. “ We’ll publish your novel about ‘the word’ if you just send us xxx dollars.” The ease at which these Christian goofballs are fleeced is comical. If you watch 10 minutes of a Sunday morning evangelical show, it’s all about the fleece. For fucks sake there’s a preacher named Creflo Dollar. For real. And he was busted for having a private plane off their sucker donations, and he still shows up every Sunday. I am the grandson of a Presbyterian minister, but he was the 14th child (out of 16 children, the last of which killed my great grandmother in childbirth) who were the children of a Swedish immigrant farmer. They were innocent worshipers. They weren’t political. They just were simple believers. Now the idiots are either complicit conspirators or such simpletons I almost feel sorry for them. But for God’s sake, literally, think for yourselves and realize how foolish you’ve become.
  7. Is this really a question? I've got one: Led Zeppelin or Triumph?
  8. Post removed
  9. well, it does resemble a baby arm
  10. /csb- I met Kemp in the old Forum Club after a Lakers game in the early/mid 90's. The Sonics were in town to play the Clips. Shook his hand, and his hand completely enveloped mine like I had a baby hand.
  11. These are always great https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKFqcDXRn_l/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
  12. The sacrifices made by our soldiers are immeasurable.
  13. That’s the Queen Mary in the background.
  14. Lunch at Shoreline Village
  15. This is essentially the thrust of this thread. “Patriot” is a co-opted term for Magats. I’m a patriot. But that term means something different. Fuck them for making me feel bad for being a patriot.
  16. Maybe. Let me know if you do.
  17. Listening to the Dodgers/Mets game, they played “God Bless America.” I love this country. I just don’t love the version being presented to us, and the world, now. But I desperately want this to be a brief dark period in our history. Not a tipping point from which there is no return. I have to believe sanity has a place in our future. I recently watched the Bin Laden documentary on Netflix and while W had his flaws, he seems like fucking Lincoln when compared to Trump. The infection the orange goon has unleashed on our country is more poisonous than any that has ever occurred in our nation’s history. He has sown division, hate, racism, chaos, anger and madness. And that has been his strategy. But is it ever going to return to some semblance of reason? For my sanity, I pray it will. I love this country too much to just give up.
  18. Doubt we see him until after the break, but nice to see https://www.threads.com/@mlb/post/DKFyps7Jg0s?xmt=AQF06uXnZUNspJScyVlC5eBQUtPR-b7vrM2pAyxjJLnTKw
  19. Getting worked by corn
