  1. Okay, I'm digging a little deep here but I played this CD quite a bit in the early 90's. Worth a listen.
  2. I don't disagree about having to come up with some excuse to avoid NFL suspension, but this isn't a guy that will win a dementia argument
  3. Why do I need you to tell me that?
  4. Source material 90's.
  5. Thanks for that link. I didn't understand some of it, but he's a very good writer (maybe he had help) and reading about his preparation and concerns adds another interesting layer to the documentary.
  6. Wasn't this type of stuff already settled in suit against Larry Flynt? And if not, doesn't this open discovery for the defendant to seek evidence he actually has eaten Trump's shit? I hate this fucking guy. Truly despicable human being.
  7. On a more serious note, I was impressed with this BAT listing. Started out as a 540i Touring wagon, but upgraded everything with M5 performance. Kind of checks all the boxes per the OP.
  8. So I watched the Netflix series and decided to follow Formula 1 more closely this season. I'll learn as I go but two questions jump out. How the hell does Honda have an F1 engine but not McClaren? I liked Ocon on the Netflix series and noticed him with the Mercedes team. As a back up will he ever really race with Bottas and Hamilton in front of him? And won't he get stale just sitting around all year, or do they allow back ups to drive during practice time?
  9. I’m finishing up Formula 1 now. It’s very well done. I’ve always been a fan of cars and racing but Formula 1 seemed too predetermined and boring. After watching the series I get it. There are interesting story lines with drivers, teams, engines, etc. but like any sport you have to dive into the details to appreciate it. Every race affects those, especially the first turn apparently. I’ll be watching F1 more and pay more attention to what’s happening beyond Hamilton and Vettel. Seems much more interesting.
  10. Saw this originally in the theater and was disappointed. I thought the taking care of the girl angle was boring and moved too far away from the original. But I caught it today on cable and I've changed my mind. The kid really didn't take too much away from the overall story. If you watch it as a standalone it's a pretty fucking good movie. Yeah the ending has issues, but from beginning to end it would be considered very good if not compared to the original. The part where BdT signed with the farmer hit me in the feels.
  11. Thanks for the heads up. If it's even brushing against the greatness that was Banshee it will be must see TV. My god, the talent level in that show was off the charts, so I Googled "Banshee sex scenes" to add a link, and .... the top ten were all porn sites. You have been warned. Therefore I present the best fight scenes:
  12. Why is Kyler Murray there, and what is he celebrating?
  13. Ha, that is exactly what played in my head while reading a well done post with the word "magical". Reminded me of the classic Premiership "the driving rain can't dampen their resolve".
  14. The MBA, like any other post grad degree, assists in your career path. Of course an exceptional employee with exceptional work ethic can, and should, be elevated above someone that has a post grad degree. However most of the corporate world is controlled by something called a Human Resources Department. They like higher education.
  15. Travelling through any high traffic airport, it's a lifeline if you're running late. I'll use TSA 9O% of the time, but if the the line is too long I'll jump over to Clear. There's always a bored Clear employee waiting to help get you scanned and usher you to the front of the line. You don't even have to show your ID or boarding pass again, it's just a "Hey, he's with me" and boom, you're in. If you travel alot $15/month is cheap insurance to get in fast when necessary.
  16. I watched the first season. It's confusing unless you know the source material. I didn't. Premise is a war between the old gods - God, Fertillity Goddess, Leprechaun, yes, a fucking Leprechaun, etc, vs the new gods - Television, Technology, etc. The main character is a go between involved in this war but I couldn't figure out what the hell his purpose was, other than being beaten or beating the shit out of others. It's bizarre and well done and confusing but I'm all in for Season 2. If nothing else for Swearengen as God.
  17. Read the above with a British accent. It’s fun.
  18. Wow, I forgot about that. Scared the shit out of me. Quick Google search shows that Scott Glenn was in it.
  19. That fucking Cotton Bowl. Muffed punt, no words. But I was really pissed about the GA TD run - I think it was 4th down - the TX outside linebacker responsible for contain was ankle tackled by an interior GA lineman. I know because I had a Beta Max tape of the game replayed it over and over. I SEEN'T IT. At the time it was kind of like, damn that sucks, but time to move on. Nebraska was unstoppable, number 1, no chance to jump them playing some weird team from Miami? Yeah, then the Orange Bowl happened. At the time my UTEP brother told me TX didn't deserve to be National Champs anyway, since TX was #2 and played like #2 in the game. I told him to fuck off.
  20. How did that happen, didn't you have the original rebuilt? Also is orange the go to Mopar block color, like Ford's blue?
