  1. I still own this album. Bought it for the Stevie Nicks song but the Buffett, Joe Walsh and Graham Nash songs are great.
  2. Rip Jimmy. The lyrics below from A pirate Looks at 40 are fantastic. Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothing to plunder I’s and over-forty victim of fate Arriving too late, arriving too late I’ve done a bit of smuggling, I’ve run my share of grass I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last.
  3. This is the cloak room right? The Big 12 has already rigged the season against us bigly. By the way, the Big 12 is being controlled by the Biden Crime Syndicate and China. On a more positive note, we are going to win all our games including the National Championship and a statue of Sark lifting up Ewers holding the championship trophy will be commissioned for the outside of the stadium.
  4. “Didn’t we talk about this before?” Dan Patrick asked Quinn Buckner on a 2018 episode of The Dan Patrick Show. “When you guys played the Chicago Bulls, first round of the playoffs, and you guys went out. It might have been you and [Rick] Robey. And you went out with Bird, and the Chicago Bulls cheerleaders bought you beers, figuring they could get Larry drunk. And then Larry lit them up, and then walked off the floor and walked by the cheerleaders and said, ‘Thanks for the beers.'”
  5. As you can imagine I am a huge Bird fan and that dude would kill it in today's NBA. His only issue would be the shit talking that he would do would probably get him suspended and fined for making some players cry. To me, the below quote from Pat Riley says it all about Larry Bird. "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I'd choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I'd take Larry Bird." -Pat Riley
  6. Scheffler needs to throw that putter in the ocean and get another one. It’s the only thing holding him back from winning a lot more tournaments as opposed to just finishing in the top 5.
  7. I am just glad that with our country getting filled up with people that are meaner to each other and angry all the time it’s a good thing we allow the purchase of unlimited fire arms. Those two data points together should lead to some fun times in the future.
  8. The Rockets game would have been 1981 I believe and the opening scene of this season at the Boston Garden was 1984 so I think so they have to get through 3 more years in the next few episodes to end the season where it started. Guess we will get lots of 76ers stuff the rest of this season also.
  9. The exchange between Laszlo and Nadja below was fantastic. Laszlo: The only hairy frog I'm interested in is between your legs my darling. Nadja: It's not just the frog. It's the whole swamp!
  10. I grabbed the last Russells Reserve 13 year at the Goody Goody near me today. I was forced into a bundle also but this was paired with a $8 bottle of red wine. The manager at the store was telling me how great the wine was and how bourbon drinkers love it. I told him when I drink red wine I stick to Silver Oak, Caymus or Opus 1 but will buy his wine to use the next time I need to cook with wine. I also went to Total Wine near me and grabbed a ECBP 9 year store pick or something like that. I wasn’t sure if those are hard to get or always on the shelf now but I couldn’t resist. Last purchase was a Redwood Empire Pipe Dream for like $35. I actually like the Redwood Empire as a cheap daily sipper for a lower proof bourbon.
  11. I’m thinking of gettin me that grand piano. Just need to come up with $3 million dollars for it. I better check the couch cushions to see if I have that laying around. I will say some of his artwork would be pretty cool to have but out of my price range.
  12. I went through JFK at the beginning of July on my way to Iceland. What a shitty airport that was. I had a 5 plus hour layover to boot. As far as American Airlines goes, I have had 5 flights on American in the last 7 days. One from Heathrow to DFW and then flights to and from New Orleans and Las Vegas. All 5 were delayed with some as much as 2 hours.
  13. Got these two bottles today. Tea batch and Lumberyard batch of Bookers. Hope they are decent.
  14. Lotus of Siam did not disappoint so thanks for the recs. Garlic shrimp was phenomenal and even enjoyed eating the fried shrimp shells. The crispy duck over noodles and curry sauce was great along with the sea bass over drunken noodles.
  15. Taking the wife to Vegas on Saturday for her birthday to see Garth Brooks and staying at Caesars Palace. What the hell is there to do all day in Vegas if it is 120 degrees out. Also, going to go to Lotus of Siam for the first time. Any recs on what dishes to get?
  16. Just finished all 3 episodes and it was really good. Also highly recommend it.
  17. My reading comprehension may not be great but I’m pretty sure I saw she is divorced because she had a 3 way with Tom Herman and RGBIII.
  18. I am down to a 11.5 handicap and I am so close to my goal of being a single digit handicap I can taste it. I shot an 87 today but for me I actually played well but blew up on a few holes (2 triples and 2 doubles). I had 9 pars which I thought was more than solid. If I could lose those blow up holes and make a few birdies that I missed (from like 5 feet) I could hit my other goal of shooting in the 70’s. I am sure next weekend I will throw up a 96 just to fuck with my head since that is what golf is all about.
  19. The craziest thing I saw while playing The Plantation Course was a guy I was playing with hit his drive about 240 yards up a steep hill. It hit the cart path and somehow started rolling back down the hill, down the cart path. I swear it took a minute and a half for the ball to roll all the way back down to about 5 feet behind our tee box just off the cart path. I have never seen a guy drive a ball that far and then have his second shot behind the tee box he just hit from. At that point we all laughed and started the flow of beer since we knew this was not a day to be angry about our scores.
