  1. I honestly thought he was doing the "first down" move, which happens all the time.
  2. There is a lot of anguish on social media about the "defunded LA Fire Department". It takes about one minute of research to learn that the current LAFD budget is 7% higher than last year's budget, with most of the increase going to higher salaries. Approximately 1.7% of budget savings included the elimination of unfilled civilian positions. The Fire Chief is saying response has been hampered by a lack of funding for training, etc., which doesn't make a lot of sense, given the fact this budget was only implemented in November, and when you consider the fact that she has been clamoring for awhile now that the city nearly double its number of fire stations, equipment, and personnel, you get the feeling she's not exactly impartial. (Not that the city has all the fire personnel and equipment it may need, this is a problem nationwide, but there isn't some recent reduction in any of that infrastructure or personnel.) And then you have the most obvious question: if LAFD is incapable of dealing with this tragedy because of recent budget slashing (again, didn't happen), then how does that explain the Eaton fire, which is being fought by LA County FD and Pasadena FD? Were they affected by (nonexistent) LAFD budget cuts? The need to make everything political is a beating. Yes, I get the irony. Regardless, this is Mother Nature doing her thing in the midst of a years-long extreme drought.
  3. Don't be a bitch.
  4. Did y'all miss the part where his wife had already wrapped the box? I don't know about you, but I'm team "no way am I rewrapping a box".
  5. He left out a few things. "Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, chemo, radiation, surgery."
  6. Game night batch is on. Half 80/20 ground chuck, half prime sirloin, went with rehydrated ancho, guajillo, pasilla (new for me) and chipotle peppers along with a big ole diced jalapeno. Will add cayenne if it's not hot enough. Onions, garlic, a few Roma tomatoes, pretty chunky stuff. The usual spices. Waiting until 6 PM is gonna test my patience. Fuck Ohio State.
  7. Dude. That's when you just take the loss.
  8. That "Heads Carolina" video is absolutely cringey. I actually kinda liked the Jo Dee original. It wasn't exactly ground-breaking but that was a good hook in the chorus. This? Oof.
  9. The Neville Brothers used to do a great live version. I was right up at the front of the stage once at Liberty Lunch and Aaron Neville was about 5 feet away. Hearing him sing it up close was damn near spiritual. I'm not sure where this was shot, but it was around the same timeframe:
  10. Yes. They did credit the writer (Mentor Williams), so presumably his estate made some money.
  11. Well, it was released over a year ago, so the danger seems to have passed.
  12. A ha! See, predictable! Roughly half the time he passes and half the time he runs on both first and second downs!
  13. Thought I had posted this -- today I learned that when Colt hit Quan to beat tOSU in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl, the LB Quan ran away from was current ND head coach Marcus Freeman:
  14. *Dobie (and he was at the very least the 3rd singer to release it) I know the "writers" lifted "Drift Away", but it's still shameless.
  15. The designer had ONE job . . .
  16. I went to HS with this dim bulb. Let's see if we can spot the flaw in his hypothesis.
  17. That's brutal. In a strange way it's harder to watch some of the remaining houses burn than just to see the ones that are already gone. Hang in there. Let us know what we might do to help -- local charities with specific needs, etc.
  18. ND fans must feel incredibly relieved with the way Freeman vs Kelly turned out. Holy shit. There was a lot of hand-wringing but Freeman has clearly set himself apart from that twat.
  19. Classic James Franklin sad face. He's so bad.
  20. Jesus, who is on play by play? "What do they gain by that?" Fucking idiot.
  21. That's his career long, but they said he thinks he can do 5 yards more.
  22. Good lord Allar sucks. He may have just given it away.
  23. Elizabeth Shue is Riley's mom?
  24. Have you heard any stories about the Catholic church?
