  1. I remember watching this. It’s hard to fully grasp the depravity of man that meetings like this could happen and for the participants to be so stoic about killing millions of people. 
     

    I have watched so much stuff about World War II because my dad’s family is German. I would have loved to have been able to ask my Oma questions about what it was like growing up in nazi Germany under people like this. She died from cancer when I was 10 so I will never know what bits and pieces her and her family would have known about what was happening to the Jews. The best lesson we can learn from films like this is to never allow these circumstances to happen again.

    That's not really how humblebrag works.

    Never understood the humblebrag on here. The documentary just got me psyched for hitting the waves. That and the book I read recently named The Wave both did. I feel pretty confident that I’ll embarrass myself many times while attempting to consistently not fall into the ocean. 

  3. Not a movie, but a documentary I saw at the theatre last night called Facing Monsters. It’s about two brothers who are surfers. They are from Western Australia and one of the two is always looking for a new challenge. I thought it was an awesome documentary and the scenes showing them surfing in some absolutely brutal areas was incredible. I am going to Tahiti in January to surf for a month so watching this was pretty cool. I will never be able to do even a tenth of what they can do though in the documentary. 

  4. I am a soccer fan, but do not follow the college game. One of my best friends though, who knows zero about soccer, watched his daughter, Ashleigh Williams, beat KU today by scoring both their goals. She has her dad’s competitive fire. He played football for Kansas Wesleyan back in the late 90’s. I know he’s proud to see her do her thing out there even if he doesn’t fully understand the nuances of the sport.

  5. I would suggest stopping at The Kitchen in Manitou Springs. It is run by a local and his better half who is from Arkansas. The food is southern and it is open for breakfast and lunch. Fun fact is that the better half’s brother is Matt Turner. He would best be known as the guy who coached the McCown’s in Jacksonville and then was the head coach in Gilmer for five seasons until he retired in 2020.

  6. Passport was lost in the mail in 2020. That’s fine so I did the process all over again. I started in June and then was asked in July to send a response about what happened to the passport. I said it never arrived and was lost in the mail. Fast forward to about 10 days ago. I call because I want things to be finished so I talk to them and it arrived this week. 

    Now that that is taken care of I will thoroughly enjoy spending the entire month of January in Tahiti surfing and enjoying the South Pacific. If I can elongate the trip into February I’ll do that.

    Can anyone explain what the fuck is going on?

    Deion is pissing off a SWAC head coach. Said head coach will get over it or he won’t. Sanders has brought more attention to the SWAC than at any point since Air McNair was slingin’ it at Alcorn State.

    If this ridiculous conference wants to be taken seriously then drop the SWAC title game and have the conference champ go to the FCS playoffs instead of an absolutely pointless bowl game that no one watches unless they are there in person to see the bands perform.

  8. Chapman being put out to pasture is for the best. His body language when he comes in or is on the mound was that of someone that did not want to be out there as well as someone who is struggling to find a way to pitch without being completely dominant. The writing was on the wall for this to happen for several months now. I doubt he pitches again for anyone unless he fixes his mechanics amd adjusts his approach.

  9. I remember being at the ALDS against Cleveland in 2017 and Jay Bruce was in right field. I heard things that night that were on the one hand funny, while other stuff was just disturbing. This was all because the Mets would not trade him across-town and instead sent him to Cleveland. The entire inning Jay Bruce Sucks chant was tame, but it was all inning long and I joined in that one. I believe the fox broadcast picked up the chant from section 203. 
     

    Bruce finally turns and laughs after the end of the 8th. He was asked afterwards to repeat what he heard and he wouldn’t. It was just some of the worst and most awful things you can say to a person and he took it. For his part he didn’t hold a grudge and ended his career here in a short stint before injuries stopped him from playing. 
     

    I hope this series is fun to watch. I’m sure CC and his family will be out there since almost the entirety of his career was split between these two teams.

    everything is about money and ratings - but - this 3 game series bullshit needs to be abolished.  STL wins their division after 162 grueling games and it outed in a 3 game series. Too much playoff expansion, only have 1 WC team per league, no WC round and the next round needs to be 7 games.  Four teams per league is plenty enough. 

    Getting strong vibes that CLE beats NYY. 

    This was good for baseball. The sport had to expand the postseason to this amount. I hope the Division Series games are good. I have friends and co-workers that are fans of the Dodgers, Phils, Atlanta, Yanks and somehow one guy who wears a Padres hat to work each day. Playoff baseball is both unpredictable and cool. I’d love for the Yanks to get to the ALCS so I can fly my mother up to watch them, but if Cleveland wins it’s cool. That’d be great for their fanbase to get back to the ALCS.

    kind of baseball ....

     

    Once a week when he’s not on the road Seinfeld comes into eat breakfast where I serve at. It’s always with Colin Quinn, who is a really cool guy. They sit there and eat and drink coffee and tell stories for 2 or 3 hours before Seinfeld gets on his bicycle and heads out. 

  12. So I saw Cap giving the Flat Earth King the business for retweeting an Alex Jones conspiracy theory from TWENTY YEARS AGO. 
     

    I don’t care if the Lakers have another down year. Not trading for a mentally ill person that likes Alex Jones is the best thing from the entire Lakers off-season. The Nets implosion this year is going to be utterly spectacular thanks to having that guy on the roster.

    I am watching Smile. This is an exceedingly hard movie for me to watch. If you have difficulties with random loud screeching and screaming noises that come out of nowhere this is not the movie for you. I am going to try to make it to the end because I like Sophie Bacon, but this is a movie I will never watch again.

    My commentary about this movie is not whether it is good or not. It is just a warning to anyone who struggles with loud noise like I do.
