  1. I imagine the evaporation off of a municipal pool as a function of capacity dwarfs that of a residential pool. They're both roughly the same depth, but the surface area of the public pool is massive.
  2. She doesn't LOOK like she eats live bats for breakfast?
  3. "I do have a girlfriend, you wouldn't know her, she lives in Canada."
  4. That song always sounded like a Sheryl Crow tune to me. You can see her dance training in that one for sure. She may not be the greatest singer ever, but she's sharp as a track and understands how to market herself. Her singing got a whole lot better when she took the role in "Evita" and got a lot of vocal coaching.
  5. Our HS drama teacher went to college with Kathleen Turner and John Goodman. He actually had pretty high praise for both. (I don't think he had much interest in Turner, if you get my drift.)
  6. Not really. She was allegedly a "child model" but her first pro gig was as an actress at age 16. That's where she met her svengali, John Derek.
  7. Not really. Which 3? I'll give you Christie and Elle, although both did film. Who was the 3rd?
  8. Yeah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christie Brinkley, Lisa Bonet, Phoebe Cates, Elle MacPherson, Sheena Easton, Kelly Preston, Susanna Hoffs, Bo Derek, etc. were all dogs. Woof.
  9. Sure they do. When in doubt, side with Trump.
  10. I'm getting uncomfortablly close to 4 hours here.
  11. Look, assholes, it was approved by the Chief Medical Board:
  12. A justice can be removed by impeachment. I'd be interested to see if Trump could get Congress to go along with that. It would take a majority in the House to throw it to the Senate, which is (currently) do-able for the Republicans, although perhaps not after mid-terms. It would take a 2/3 vote in the Senate, which would require some Dems to go along. While they would tend to favor impeachment of Trump appointees, in Coney Barrett's case the Dems are probably thinking it's better to stick with the devil you know. Trump will probably try to make it happen if she pisses him off enough, though.
  13. That used to be "The Red Tomato", an Italian-American joint. Upstairs was a bar called "Banana's".
  14. Well, I'm starving. Need to head to Port Lavaca.
  15. Yeah, if you haven't been following his story over the past year, it would be cool to at least let @ROFL BOX take a look and bid if he chooses to do so.
  16. Well, I was cheating on myself and frankly wasn't in shape.
  17. Maybe it's because she has a personality and a modicum of talent?
  18. Christ, thanks for the high school flashback I never wanted to have.
  19. Funny thing about Mumford -- I couldn't stand them (really still can't) but watching "Marcus" fight his way through anxiety on that New Basement Tapes doc really elevated him in my eyes. Not only did he care, a lot, but he ended up bring the best song, and he wrote it on the last night. Dawes, I really like. I know the guy is kind of a weasel, but he embues that LA Jackson Browne vibe more than anyone I've seen since JB. He's really talented. Plus, Mandy Moore.
  20. I mostly find that hyper-feely approach very intellectually unstimulating. I want to hear someone twist the language. And, I know you're not just talking about words. But I want to hear Paul Westerberg and Kurt Cobain and and Brandi Carlisle and Jason Isbell and John Lennon manipulate the same fucking 12 notes (words) into something new. I struggle to appreciate most of what I hear breaking through to the mainstream these days. But, there is plenty of great stuff out there, it's just a wide world of choices that makes one need to go digging for gold. It's out there, though. Tangentially: didn't My Morning Jacket used to rock? Am I thinking of another band? If not, wtf happened?
