  1. It makes me sick thinking about it but that fucking Darren Rovell tweets a new auction record it seems like everyday to remind me but I HAD 3 of these. Sophomore in high school I would buy a pack of these twice a week or so. Was more into baseball cards but these came out and since I was playing basketball thought it would be cool to have. Probably ended up with 3 or 4 complete sets. After he retired and I was a few years out of college with not much money to speak of I figured they were reaching peak value. Sold all three for $500/piece. Pretty good return for maybe a $50 investment . They are now routinely going for $200k, $300k, $400k in auctions. Of course those prices are for grades of 10 but I no doubt had at least 8's. I had them in sleeves at least a year or two after purchase and then put into screw down cases once they started getting valuable. Still got all the rest of the cards though 😂 if anyone wants an Hakeem, Barkley or Bird. https://www.barrons.com/articles/michael-jordan-rookie-trading-card-sells-for-a-record-420-000-01598903722
  2. But Jack in the Box tacos are still okay for you, right?
  3. So the "Chick-fil-A is better for you because they use peanut oil" is some more bullshit?
  4. Man, this would be a perfect sequel to Erin Brockovich would it not?
  5. Biggest boy/girl yet from the lights. Looks like 26” to me.
  6. We are one of the lucky ones as well. We are up 132% over last year. Only 39% pre-covid and 154% thereafter.
  7. I dont technically have a garage so this has to be my alone drinking place. Not complaining. 71 degrees on 12/10. I’ll take it!
  8. Explained above. I was done fishing for the night and I new I would get it back later. It wasn't going anywhere.😎
  9. Cause I was cold and a little drunk and ready to go back inside and I didn’t feel like fucking with it. Hell, sober and in direct sunlight it took me almost a minute to get that sucker out. Dont think I’ve seen a good a hookset as that. The only way he was getting off is if he broke the 6lb test.
  10. 7” mullet in the 23” red.
  11. Excellent work here by Jason. Sounds better than anything he’s done since Southeastern. Barry chose well.
  12. Another green light victem.
  13. Yup. Those are the hands you are just waiting for. If you stay halfway patient and don't get sucked into playing too many hands preflop you should eventually score a couple of pots like that. I played on Black Friday and lost $700 in the first 30 minutes but topped the stack back up and stuck with it. Was able to cash out +$700 after a couple more hours. One guy was just rebuying $100 at a time and would generally put it in with any hand. Where have you been playing?
  14. Simple way is to broil them skin side down and baste them with a garlic butter and parmesan cheese mixture a couple times during the broil. Only fresh fillets, don't freeze them.
  15. Yea, they got one right! Now post their record from the last 5-10 years. https://apple.news/A6u41iwY8SxOPstruQRHZ0Q
  16. Yeah, I signed up for the "pre-event" thing they emailed a while back but never got anything else. Just logged in after reading the latest on this thread and there it was. I guess I'm gonna take the plunge.
  17. Anyone tried buying through Paypal yet?
  18. Ha, check this out from wiki: In a "lost interview" between Eddie Van Halen and journalist Steve Rosen, when the Van Halen guitarist was discussing the song "Light Up the Sky," he explained that "Warner Bros. is financing some movie, and they wanted us to write the theme song for it and we were thinking of using that song."[5] While not mentioning the movie by name, later in the interview he describes it as "A neat movie - everyone's going to relate to that. It's high school kids up north in New Granada, some new housing development. They destroy everything, they lock it...they had a PTA meeting, because all the parents were getting together to talk about their problems they were having with all the students and kids destroying the town. And then while all the people were in there, they lock them in, they chain the doors with all the cops inside and stuff. They went out and started smashing the cars and blowing everything up - it was insane. It was supposed to be true, too. It was supposed to be a true story. So I think maybe the title of that kind of sprung from that. Because it was a real trippy movie, and it would be a good title calling it ‘Light Up the Sky.’ Because the last scene of the movie was heavy, boy - it’s just a big flash of flame type of thing."[6] Ultimately, the band opted not to give the song to the film, because Van Halen says in the same interview, "We went and saw a screening of the flick...and it ain't gonna win no Academy Award or nothing."[7] Instead, the song was included on the album Van Halen II.
  19. Damn, that's it. Looks exactly like I remembered it.
  20. I'm going off of a 40+ year old memory but does anyone remember a movie (very early HBO days, maybe even the first year) that takes place in a newly built suburb community about high schools students that end up locking all their parents in the high school during a PTA meeting or somesuch? Can't even really remember what the plot of the movie was but I can still kind of picture that scene.
  21. Late night green light victim is tonight’s dinner.
  22. This little fella had a bad morning.
