  1. Hangmen Also Die. Fritz Lang directs in 1943 movie on Czech resistance. Interesting to her the pronunciation of Novotony. Much different than Dave Novotny in Election.
  2. I like this piece of bubble gum.

    What’s up with Reyna? Is he hurt again? Not suited up for the pokal game.
  4. I can relate. While waiting in line for zz top tickets we were kicked off the sidewalk and wandered into the strip joint next door. After giving the stripper with the magic nipples my grocery sacker tips, I should have felt ashamed but I was incredibly turned on instead.
  5. Frank’s elected and needs to stay elected for Nick to be able to keep the grift going. Frank needs the money to dole it out to those in need, stained glass offering and to grease the powers to be on the grain pier. Nicky needs to get as many hours as everyone else. Frank continuing to be elected is no sure thing and with a fuck up like Ziggy, he needs to show as little favoritism as possible to Nicky.
  6. it’s gotta be Cazale, but these actors were amazing in this one. And a few went on to bigger things.

  8. Team 1 has the best defenders. Team 3 has killers but Magic at his best is running and Jordan wants the ball in his hands. Their strengths aren’t complementary and only MJ is a plus defender. Team 2 seems to be team of ill fitting parts, but Duncan/Stockton pick n roll would be fun. Three guys are ball dominant. Team 4 might be the second best team although outside of Akeem are not good on defense. I’ll go with team 1. Best defenders and killers at the end of games in Kobe and Durant with always the option to dump it in to Kareem.

    Robinson was good in the Mexico game. But he was reckless last night and his passing was very poor with lofted balls. But the whole team is poor with balls in the air. I didn’t see much of second half, but jones ball to Vazquez would be the exception to the poor quality. Canada marked the midfielders tightly and we couldn’t pass well enough to break it often enough. Does what the “mls pro” Canadian guy did finally toss Long on the trash heap. Im not sure why McKenzie and Trusty aren’t playing in this tournament. Especially McKenzie since Trusty got a little play in the nations league.
  10. Underrated. And Harry Potter’s uncle’s best role.

    Pulisic was excellent in the Covid period until his hamstring issues. Since then he hasn’t been as good or fast except for some games when Chelsea won the champions league. He seems to be getting a little bit smarter in his play at least internationally. Hope that Carrie’s over for his new team. If not then I can see a Carrie breakdown. (Might as well how with the auto correct change).

    I would have liked to see parks added instead but with morris out, I can see the logic in adding him.
  13. That’s 1.58 miles daily of caulking the cracks in the bathroom tile; going Hans Solo on Darth Vader and evicting the testicular squatters.
  14. TOS: “FWIW, this will be a special assistant role” in regards to Matson. Terry did a good job after Beard stepped away and resigned. Haith, McClain and Chappell are the three assistants. Seems like a capable staff. The roster has some issues but is intriguing. Overall I’ll be excited to see how it goes in the fall. And especially in the expanded B12.
  15. For the last ten months I’ve worne a garmin swim 2 watch because it covers open water swims. I like it because it keeps stats where I can see how much Ive swam. My average is 58.27 miles per month so far. Before I just had a cheap waterproofCasio and would only wear it to make sure I wasn’t late for work if I did a lunchtime or morning swim.
  16. Will tcm start showing commercials or will it be worse? https://www.npr.org/2023/06/28/1184544944/tcm-turner-classic-movies-david-zaslav
  17. The Wire for me is the greatest show I’ve seen. And it’s one that stands up to repeat viewings. It was different than NYPD/Hill Street Blues/Homicide because it was as much a criminal show as it was a cop show. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20211015-why-the-wire-is-the-greatest-tv-series-of-the-21st-century
  18. Was on the road and didn’t realize Daniel Ellsberg had died. He considered himself a patriot and I agree.
  19. I rarely drink anymore, but there was a time where my buddy and I blew .40 in a bar breathalyzer. We walked to the closest all night restaurant and called his wife to come pick us up. My dad died from drinking (cirrhosis) and had two dui’s. It sucked being an aging alcoholic. What was once his friends at the tennis club, strip joints and bars disappeared. Hr blew out his knees and shoulders from tennis and lost his retirement due to his wife’s gambling. She had holes to fill and those holes were real. They were quite the couple, she lost enough at the casinos so that he could drink for free. No one came to visit regularly as his best friend had Alzheimer’s and his buddy’s wife never forgave him for permitting her husband to meet up with an old girlfriend at the 50th HS class reunion. So he isolated himself by watching the golf channel and reading mystery novels while drinking and drinking. Had to learn that was not the road I wanted to take. The spark was having two young kids running around while I suffered through hangovers. The kids are grown, so now I have blowouts once or twice a year. And why drink alone if I’m loosening inhibitions. I was part of an over 50 basketball group and every once in a while we’d get an email that Bob died at age 77 while playing basketball at the JCC. Condolences to Bob and his family but also congratulations. Way to go Bob that’s the way to do it. Good luck to bob and his daughter. Maybe he can find a pickle ball court somewhere.
  20. I’m really liking his “You Want It Darker” with the Jewish lady singing Hebrew. Combine that with Slaid Cleaves “Natures Darker Laws” and that’s a nice start of songs with darker in the title. I’ve been a big fan since “I’m Your Man” and that led me to his earlier stuff. The tribute album came out and I liked some of the covers like “stories of the street” from That Petrol Emotion and “don’t go home with a hardon”, but Cale’s version of “Hallelujah” blew me away.
  21. This was on pbs the other night. Hearing a snippet of Peter Wolf as a DJ was fantastic.
  22. Uruguay beats Italy 1-0 in the final. Italy didn’t have a shot on goal.
  23. Driving to Seattle next week with my son. Taking our time over 5 days and then meeting his sister for some day trips before I fly home and he starts work Late July for sons grad trip doing a cruise from Barcelona - Marseille- Cannes - Mallorca - Ibiza and back to Barcelona as a grad trip. He goes back to Seattle and I fly to Seville to meet my lady friend where we’ll spend a week between there and Malaga.
  24. Out of the Past - Kathy Moffat was a fun gal. “Hang my gallows high baby” Name of the book, English movie title and Mitchum’s quote at the end. Much more fitting title.
  25. Nice video breakdown of Abmas. What an amazing shooter and pnr’s with Disu for midrange and Shedrick and Mitchell for rolls to the bucket should be a strength. Will his defense improve or will he at least give more effort? Will better conditioning enable him to do so without taking away from his offense? Shedrick can help on d for drives but will get eaten up on pnr’s if abmas continues same lack of effort. Hunter is terrific on hounding the pg dribbling the ball up court and that will help Abmas on the defensive end. Hunter’s not a great shooter as he needs space as he brings the ball down when shooting threes. With the focus on Abmas, Hunter should have more time for catch and shoots. Did duke establish the game plan to limit Abmas? Probably and with Mitchell and Hunter not great shooters, it might be effective. But Texas is way more dangerous than ORU. If Abmas doesn’t have the ball in his hands, there should be lots of off the ball pnr’s with opportunities for the roller as well as Abmas This will be a fun season.
