    Agreed. Have seen Beck a few times and he's always killed it. I'd go with The White Stripes. Saw them at a place called Shibuya-Ax in Tokyo in 2003. Their warmup act - Whirlwind Heat out of Detroit - rocked it far more. Wasn't impressed with WS.

    I caught Michael Longfellow at the Dallas Comedy Club in June and didn't laugh one time. Wasn't impressed. His warmup act - a local guy named Dez O'Neal - was much funnier.

    Pretty good SpittinChiclets podcast with Duchene yesterday.....if you're into that. I've never been a big Stars fan but they've sure signed some good FA's over the recent years.

    Saw this last night for the very first time. Wow! Glad I waited for the IMax experience. Not sure I would have chosen McConaughey for that role but great film.

    I thought it was great. Craig did an incredible job with this role and the drug experience in Ecuador was remarkably shot. Weird hearing modern rock songs in a period piece but it works. The sex scenes are enough to scare off the homophobes but overall was a cool film.

    Went to a Stars game last night for the first time in 18 months. What a turd. Robertson might as well be skating around with a freagin umbrella out there. Annununnunun stood on his lips. Saw him a few months ago in Colorado and can't understand why the Aves traded him. Decent. Best part of the night was the Modano statue. What an absolute beaut of a sculpture. The CCM Tacks look like you could sharpen him and do some down and backs. Kudos to the artist. Such better quality than those goofy Heisman statues they have on the Oklahoma campus.

    And I'm betting your gaijin friend was the fattest guy in the room.

    This was following first round treatment for lymphoma? MD Anderson?

    May I ask, where are you having this done? Maintenance infusions every 6 weeks (I'm assuming Rituximab) is interesting. I've heard of maintenance every two or three months for 2 years but not 6 weeks.

    Good Lord......those stupid Oklahoma State uniforms.....can we please stop trying to look pretty and actually focus on winning a damned conference game??? University kid football is getting ridiculous.

    I noticed the promotional schedule has been released. lncluding.... Feb 2 Alumni Game (could be cool) Feb 28 Black History Night March 4 Pride Night March 18 Noche Mexicana Have the Stars had these pride nights before? I don't remember. Been to one in LA and it was actually kinda fun.

    Wow! Brings back memories of the Pelle Lindberg story......first thing in the morning on ESPN.......another New Jersey accident.

    Wow! That's the first time I've heard about that Wichita show. Thanks for sharing. That would have been an excellent venue. Hendrix obviously played some decent arenas like San Diego Sports Arena, LA Forum, Tulsa Convention Center, Etc. But he also played some less than ideal barns like the OU Fieldhouse in Oklahoma. Terrible acoustics.

    The Experience Hendrix tour will be hitting San Antonio - Houston - Fort Worth - October 9-10-11. Highly recommended. Is there anyone here that actually attended a Hendrix concert live? He played Texas numerous times.

    We saw it this last weekend. I'll put it this way.....I dragged her to see 'Solo' at the theater when she had zero knowledge of Star Wars. I still apologize over that one. What a dumb movie. Now we're even.

    Can someone do a Texas plate lookup for me? Got the plate (we think) of someone reported to taking our dog. Would like to go by and see if there is a chance our dog is at the address. Please DM me. Thanks

    I have to admit, I've seen it three times so far and there was one thing that jumped out at me tonight........how does Powell's truck routinely survive tornadoes? The motel tornado....unscathed. Then the climactic tornado and multiple rollovers. Come on!! Throw in the Anthony Ramos rollover and drive away at the refinery and it makes for one hell of a Dodge commercial.

    Does Ryan have Parkinson's? Something looked off.

    Advanced Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma plus R-Chop chemo and radiation is something you don't want to mess with. Plus, throw Covid on the pile and you've got quite the health challenge. Bridges has been in full remission for a couple of years now but I would imagine he's feeling the effects of that treatment even today. Impressed he's returned to the series.

    During the filming of the rodeo scene (which took a full week), the extras spent about 9 hours a night in the gym at Star Spencer High School loading up on a fantastic variety of catered food. As you would expect, people were helping themselves to multiple plates. We got out to the rodeo arena for the shoot and the catered sliced brisket started to hit. During a break, I went to one of the fancy portable potties behind the stands and devastated the facility. When I opened the door to return to civilization, there stood Daisy Edgar-Jones with her arms crossed waiting for the restroom. I nodded a 'hello' but she didn't crack a smile or have much of a reaction. It's looking like she survived the carnage of that porta-potty. God bless her.

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned in this thread (maybe I missed it).....if you have extra time in the Kansai area, you might check out Mt. Koya and staying at a monastery with the monks. If you're into photography, it's a pretty cool place. They're up in the mountains surrounded by 1000 years old cemeteries. One of the cooler things I did while living over there.

    LOL! Not sure I agree with the misery aspect. I played overseas for five years with Canadians and they're the best teammates and people you could ever meet. Very passionate fans. However, I will say, if you play against a guy wearing #67, you know he's from TO. Ha!
  23. Sweetnsourpoke
    Yeah, hockey in Canada is sort of like football in Texas. They act like they invented the sport and it's a huge part of the culture, but it's been ages since they won the big one. It will eat at you after a while.
  24. Sweetnsourpoke
    Nice gut on Tkachuk though, eh. I've never quite understood the anti-Canada thing in regards to these types of games. I often wonder if Americans - especially in southern markets - comprehend just how big hockey is up there. I joke around with my buddies up in Canada about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the best Canadian athlete at the moment and I swear they don't even know who he is. If he doesn't shoot a puck, never heard of him. I think they might actually be serious.

    In the good old days, this third period would get ugly with Dave Semenko, Don Jackson, Kevin McClelland and crew dropping the gloves with these Florida shysters. Unfortunately, in today's friendlier game, it will be a facewashing festival. Don't want anyone to get hurt.
