I know some on here will not care for all of the clutching of pearls by some of the parents quoted, but any article that has the phrase "Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey" really needs to be on Surly. Also, "Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey" is some strong band name potential. London library apologises for bringing actor dressed in bare-bottom monkey costume to children’s event

Oh come on...

Simple solution to this issue: get rid of all of the talking heads and just air Kiana's Flex Appeal right up to tipoff.

Netflix is doing a Haller series. https://deadline.com/2021/01/the-lincoln-lawyer-drama-david-e-kelley-netflix-series-order-manuel-garcia-rulfo-star-formerly-at-cbs-1234666034/ EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has given a series order to The Lincoln Lawyer, a drama based on Michael Connelly’s series of bestselling novels, from Big Little Lies and Big Sky creator David E. Kelley and A+E Studios. This is a new incarnation of the project, which originally was set up at CBS with a series production commitment last season. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Magnificent Seven) has been tapped to play the titular character in the Netflix series as it honors the story’s Latinx origins. “I’m excited to announce that after a bit of a journey, Mickey Haller will come to life once again on screen — this time in the TV series adaptation of The Lincoln Lawyer coming to Netflix and starring the wonderful and talented Manuel Garcia-Rulfo,” Connelly said in blog post tied to the pickup. With the casting of Mexico-born Garcia-Rulfo, Mickey Haller will stay true to the character as depicted in Connelly’s books. (In the CBS version, the role was to be played by Logan Marshall-Green; in the 2011 movie, the character was portrayed by Matthew McConaughey.) “Manuel is the ideal Mickey Haller, who is following in the footsteps of his attorney father with the showmanship of his Mexican movie star mother,” Connelly wrote. “He brings a powerful dynamic and dimension to the role — one that aligns with the books and brings authenticity to the Latinx heritage and roots of this Los Angeles-based story. The 10-episode first season is based on the second book in The Lincoln Lawyer series, The Brass Verdict. Written and executive produced by Kelley and showrunner Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife), The Lincoln Lawyer revolves around Mickey Haller (Garcia-Rulfo), an iconoclastic idealist, who runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles. “The Lincoln Lawyer series will be adapted to serve up the complex and mysterious arcs fans know and love with a mix of light-hearted humor and a dose of family dynamics,” Connelly said. The creative team of the project remains the same as it was for the CBS version, with Kelley and Humphrey executive producing alongside Connelly and Ross Fineman (Goliath, Big Sky). On-screen, two roles are being recast: Mickey and Lorna, his second ex-wife and constant confidante, who was to be played by Kiele Sanchez on CBS. A search is underway for a director. At CBS, The Lincoln Lawyer was picked up to pilot, which was days away from starting production when the coronavirus pandemic shut down all filming in March. After CBS’ surprise May decision not to go forward with the high-profile project, A+E Studios immediately took it it out to streamers. (The show’s serialized storytelling was considered better suited for a digital platform than a traditional network.) While different suitors were rumored, including Prime Video, which has the long-running series Bosch, centered on Mickey’s half-brother, serious conversation with Netflix started over the summer. This marks the second series at Netflix for A+E Studios, joining WWII animated limited series The Liberator, which premiered on Veterans Day. The studio, whose slate is overseen by A+E head Barry Jossen and EVP scripted programming Tana Jamieson, also is behind breakout new ABC drama series Big Sky, also from Kelley. It is co-produced by ABC Signature. At Netflix, Kelley also has the upcoming anthology Anatomy of a Scandal, based on Sarah Vaughan’s novel, starring Sienna Miller, Michelle Dockery and Rupert Friend. Big Little Lies creator Kelley is coming off another successful limited series for HBO, The Undoing and is shepherding ABC’s Big Sky, which recently received a full-season order.. The Lincoln Lawyer reunites Garcia-Rulfo with Kelley and Fineman after he had a major recurring role on Prime Video’s Goliath, co-created/exec produced by Kelley and exec produced by Fineman. The Lincoln Lawyer and Goliath are two of the many legal series Kelley, an attorney by trade, has created/co-created. The list also includes the Emmy-winning The Practice and Ally McBeal. Garcia-Rulfo is best known for his role as Vasquez in The Magnificent Seven remake and Gallo in Sicario: Day of the Soldado. He recently was seen in features Greyhound and 6 Underground, and his TV credits also include From Dusk to Dawn: The Series. The Lincoln Lawyer book series launched in 2009. The latest, sixth installment, The Law of Innocence, was published in November, seven years after the fifth novel. “I’m thrilled to call Netflix our home,” Connelly said. “And I’m excited to bring this rich, multilayered story filled with intriguing characters and mysteries to solve to millions of viewers — both old and new fans — around the world.”

I was drunk the day mama got out of Escambia County Jail And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck I had to pound a Krystal sackful until it felt like I got runned over by damned ole train

Robert Langdon and Benjamin Franklin Gates really need to team up and take on the Illuminati or something.

Your post made me curious about this, so I looked it up. According to Winsipedia, Texas is 3-8-1 all time against the Commodores. So, yeah, at a minimum a 5 game series with Vandy is needed.

This thread interests me as I am looking at making a trip to the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore area. These pictures make me want to go sooner rather than later.

NBC Shit Show: ‘Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide’ Production Shut Down Over ‘Explosive Diarrhea’ Outbreak (Exclusive) NBC’s “Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide” just became the ultimate s— show. The upcoming TV competition series, adapted from the classic backyard waterslide by Wham-O, has shut down indefinitely after up to 40 crew members fell violently ill during production on a remote ranch in Simi Valley, California, TheWrap has learned. According to a person with knowledge of the production, the outbreak of “awful explosive diarrhea” left people “collapsing” on set and “being forced to run into port-o-potties.”

The Burning Room, yes. Elements of The Concrete Blonde were used in Season 1. https://www.michaelconnelly.com/bosch-tv/

Strong band name potential.

I cannot imagine any reason I would ever be in the middle of nowhere north central Kansas, but if I was dropped there by a tornado or something, then, yeah, I probably would stop and check out the world's largest ball of twine. Why not?

Well, then, can I interest you in the Devil's Rope Museum (and Route 66 Museum) in McLean, TX? It has everything you want to know about barbed wire and fencing tools. https://www.barbwiremuseum.com/ Not to be confused with the Kansas Barbed Wire Museum in La Crosse, KS. Or the exhibit of 1,300 strands and collection of 8,000 strands of barbed wire at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.

If hammers are your thing, make a trip to Haines, AK and visit the Hammer Museum. https://www.hammermuseum.org/ One of Haines' top tourist attractions according to the website. Four rooms dedicated to the history of the hammer.
