  1. Implement regulations and laws requiring a minimum level of competency when operating a piece of equipment that has the potential to kill people. Require education and safety training like we do for automobiles.
  2. Someone should find these missing migrant children so that we can lock them in cages in the Florida everglades!
  3. Fuck. They're onto us. We're screwed. Our diabolical plan likely would have succeeded if it weren't for those meddling Aggies!
  4. I think the insinuation is he'll go to Florida when Billy gets shitcanned.
  5. I scrolled through this thread and didn't see this posted yet, which seems impossible given the subject. Submissions for Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City from the same album will also be considered.

    The only thing I know about this band is that they keep having to kick dudes out for sexual assault, and gaptoothsnodgrass makes fun of them a lot on instagram.
  7. I think the Rolling Stones are the biggest and best rock and roll band of all time, and I don't think it's particularly close. The Beatles were more influential, but I listen to the Stones 10x more often. Everyone's gonna list the monsters here - Paint it Black, Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil, Gimme Shelter, etc. There are no wrong answers. But for me, those tracks are ubiquitous. I hear them often enough that I don't need to seek them out, and their impact has been blunted by overexposure. Those songs are just so popular they no longer resonate in the way they used to. My favorite Stones tracks right now are: Rocks Off (the most underrated song in their catalogue. Starting Exile with this song, and then going into Rip This Joint told you right off the bat they're not fucking around. Shit, we could have a whole thread talking about Exile only) She's a Rainbow Shine a Light Factory Girl Angie Dead Flowers As is the case most of the time, my favorite songs are ballads written by rockers. It's probably why I love the Replacements so much...
  8. I love everything I've heard about the band except the music they make.
  9. This cycle is gonna be wild with Tech spending money like a chimp in a beat off contest.
  10. None of the Florida programs have their shit together.
  11. I'm not really understanding the stanning for the Klubniks. This may be a tough time for them, but it comes with the territory of the life they chose. You take the good, you take the bad, you take the rest and then you have the facts of life. Why is his dad religiously reading this website? We barely even talk about him here, and I don't think anyone has strong negative feelings toward the kid. I think most people generally cheer for him to do well. It's weird he would follow what little is said about his son here. I don't feel bad for parents of college athletes who are making millions of dollars off of their son. Those are problems that 99% of the world would love to have to "struggle" through. You know who else "never got a fair chance himself to be a star?" Pretty much everyone. Who is avoiding talking to the dad at the supermarket because Clemson isn't winning football games? Did his family move to wherever the fuck Clemson is? Or are they still in Westlake? That doesn't make sense to me.
  12. This is one of those bands that makes me say "what am I not getting here?". A ton of people whose music opinions I respect absolutely love them, but I do not understand the appeal at all. I've heard they're incredible live, so maybe that's the draw. But I feel like I'm getting lectured by an angry british guy when I listen to their albums. And I just don't find their songs all that appealing.
  13. Inherent Vice is probably his most polarizing and least popular film. It's the only one I've been unable to finish, and the only one I didn't enjoy on pretty much any level. Fwiw, it's probably the only film I'd tell someone who has never seen a PTA film to avoid. I'd start with Boogie Nights, as it is probably his most well known film. There Will Be Blood is his masterpiece. Magnolia is one my personal faves. Punch Drunk Love is also so very good and Sandler is amazing in it.
  14. Dabo = Mack Brown
  15. The 90s was fucking wild. I have only seen NIN twice way back in 94/95, and both shows were at Fair Park Coliseum in Dallas, and they were only four months apart. And according to this website, they played the exact same set in the exact same order. I mean, why? 1994-10-29 1995-02-11
  16. Saw Magnolia & Johnson Electric Company at 29th street last night. WIll Johnson of Centr0-Matic (and current member of the 400 Unit) played with the surviving members of Magnolia Electric Company. They played for nearly three hours. They closed the set with Farewell Transmission and it was pretty fucking electric. Very happy I went. Just a great experience.
  17. The reviews are very, very, very positive. I am excite.
  18. The part about Arch sucking that is most disappointing is that it's just going to take that much longer for Parker Livingstone to get to 1,000 yards and 12 TDs.
  19. Well, looks like Butch and Sundance are gonna get a watch tonight. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.
  20. At this point I'm beginning to wonder what the Milwee does. He's been Sark's hand-selected apprentice for six years. If he's not ready to take on the OC role and play calling responsibilities, what does he bring to the table? What's been the point of keeping him around for so long? He doesn't appear to be in danger of being poached.The one guy/position he coaches is sucking ass. I'm getting Eric Bieniemy vibes here.
  21. I know how Derka feels
  22. Agreed. The likelihood that this many murders can occur within an unlikely group of true crime aficionados' interpersonal circle, and them not only having nothing to do with said murders, but ultimately solving them? Completely implausible. I'm just not buying it.
