  1. Dodger fans know how to celebrate. https://x.com/_ed87_/status/1850211204444389536?s=46 Tweeter won’t allow this tweet to be embedded.
  2. It was holding and then PI. I went back and watched and the SMU defender started holding the Duke receiver at least 6 steps before the ball passed by the players. So the defender was holding for at least 3 steps before Murphy threw the ball, when the holding would have turned into PI. Duke was so royally screwed.
  3. Having lived in LA for about 10 of the last 26 years, I loved this line: ”a 5-year-old Freddie in the backyard some 45 minutes away on The 5, depending on traffic.” 😂
  4. 👆 For all of the NEW YORK YANKEES fans. 👇 For all of the LA DODGERS fans.
  5. I took some UCLA Extension courses, so I consider UCLA my California school. And the Dodgers became my National League team when they traded Raul Mondesi’s loafing ass and picked up Shawn Greene. As a UCLA Bruin & Dodger fan, it is nice to have seen the Dodgers win the Series in Arlington during COVID, then to finally have the Rangers win a series last year, and then BAM, the Dodgers looking like they want their fans to share their run this year.
  6. He’s shaking in his boots. < < 🥾🥾 > > 👀
  7. Saw this photo on the interwebs from probably 1983-‘85. Note: MJF is short.
  8. Anyone made this is the past? Could be a nice addition to the holiday menu.
  9. There was no note regarding pistachio green pants and a Harrison knockoff. What I have read is that the last round of the Harrison’s was fairly heavy (I think > 8.5 lbs) and someone else wrote that it looks a bit fake up close. You’re not going to think that it’s solid rosewood, but… They are in signature knockoff territory these days. This was someone’s signature guitar… It came and went in a few hours, though they sometimes hold some back until the next day (~4am Central Time) to put some more out so that someone doesn’t buy 10+ and then sell them on eBay They also have some red striped things near the Harrison
  10. Slight hiccup… Connections Puzzle #501 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟩🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩
  11. Speaking of Teles, the old fellers at Firefly have been slowly improving their knockoffs. This is the second round of this George Harrison rosewood Tele that they’ve done. The body has a rosewood veneer (likely) of manmade rosewood from real stuff & glue. Here’s the link, though they may sell out soon. There isn’t any tax, but shipping is ~$27 for their guitars from the LA area to anywhere in the continental 🇺🇸 only. https://guitarsgarden.com/products/firefly-fftl-classic-model-electric-guitars-rosewood-color
  12. I have run in that stadium before. Doing the steps in the bleachers is a quick reminder that California is far and away the best state in the continental US. And the weather… Expensive, but fucking amazing! ❤️

    I dated Pittsburgh lady and I was just showing off the fact that I knew that vocabulary word. (She did not have a Yinzer accent.) Actually, I didn’t encounter that accent in Mount Lebanon, but have found the “milk & bread” (“bread & milk”?) video shorts to be quite amusing. And I have a greater fondness for The Steelers than I did growing up in Dallas in the ‘70s. PS- And I love the airport.

    Croatian? Hershey dialect of yinzer? He did have an Italian nonna, so maybe he was exposed enough at a young age that he could already detect the separation of words before he got with a smoking hot tutor.
  15. Looks just like Palisades Park in Santa Monica (LA, CA) overlooking the S.M. Bay. 👀 Also bumping this, because it appears that I will be headed to Maui next Sunday through Wednesday evening. I have never been to Hawaii, but I am absolutely NOT going to a Luau. (I’m sure that they are as authentic as a tango show in Buenos Aires.) No idea where I’m staying. My sister is bringing me along because I helped her out a couple of times this year and our birthdays are 2 days apart. She’s been before, so I will defer to her. Maybe I will rent a surfboard for a couple of hours at a crowded touristy beach that good surfers avoid. 🤷‍♂️ 🌊🏄‍♂️🌴🍹📕🐠🍣🍤

    If you got me a hot tutor, I could speak that well in 6 months… 🤌 🤌 🤌 🇮🇹🍷🍕 …largely because it is so close to Spanish, but also because “horizontal lessons” are a great way to learn a language*. *I have heard, but my Argie novia always spoke English with me, unless she was pissed off. Then I was just trying to decipher a word that I could try to translate in my head. My Spanish was still practically non-existent when we were together. 🤷‍♂️ But I do try to decipher my Italian amiga’s posts before translating them. Frequently most of a sentence is just tweaked Spanish.
  17. I like the wall paint color. 🎨👩‍🎨 👏👏
  18. I loved spotting Crazy Ray at Cowboys games in the ‘70s and early ‘80s. I think that he was paid to attend my school’s “Fun Day” in middle school. He was a true Dallas icon.
  19. It’s total horseshit that Miami was gifted to Ws by the refs. 🤬 SMU will have to get into the Top 10 and hope that BYU wins the Big 12. Right now, the Playoff Projections give the SEC & Big 10 way too many spots. Especially the SEC, which only plays 8 conference games.
  20. Texas would beat Miami by at least 3 TDs. Miami is ass, my dude, but they keep playing teams that are a level below them and/or have received referees’ assistance. Want SMU to make it to the Conference Championship Game in their first season. SMU’s remaining schedule. Only loss was by 3 to BYU when they played Preston Stone about half the game.
  21. Don’t forget eating a glitter poop pill 💊! Yes, it’s a real thing.
  22. I stand corrected. Carry on B&P, I’ll lay off the booze in case I’m needed throughout the night. 🫡
  23. …a D run ✅ by Manny Diaz! Dude… Spanish AND English on the same thread. Por fa-fucking-vor!! Have you already started pre-gaming?
