    But if it's a sovereign country sort of thing, we could declare war.

    Prince was the whole enchilada.

    Back before Google Call Screen, if I happened to pick up, I'd ask if they could hold on a second, put the phone by the computer speaker, and pull up some annoying Hold music on Youtube to see how long they'd wait.

    I just read up on it for the hundredth time. Seems like a no-brainer.

    You've been reading my wish list.

    These were good times.

    Which says to me, given the fact that W-Bush even endorsed him too He currently is endorsed by every living former-president. When has that ever happened? Checkmate, Donald.

    Is it even feasible (likelihood of turning a profit versus getting caught holding the bag) for people to make money shorting this stock. It has nowhere to go but down. So I assume it's the latter. /I could read the "dummies" definition of shorting stock fifty times and my rudimentary understanding of the concept would barely move the understanding-needle.

    For sure.

    Ain't nobody got time for that. Turn it on. Warm it up. Rock.

    . . . with a poodle under one arm and a 2-foot salami under the other. Bartender says, I guess you won't be needing a drink. Guy says . . .

    He enabled Keith to be as Keith as Keith could be.

    Spot on. My favorite tidbit about the Stones was that, unlike a typical band, which follows the drummer. In the Stones, Keith sets the rhythm, and Charlie follows Keith.

    Charlie Watts was the most proficient musician in the Rolling Stones by miles. Mick Taylor is a more technically proficient guitar player than Keith. And the Stones keep rolling because, in the end, it's Mick and Keith.

    I used to fly when I was much younger. I stopped because I didn't have enough time to dedicate to it, and the last thing I want to be in this life is a mediocre pilot. I'm also, possibly as a result, not the best passenger (but I do okay). I do not love watching Air Disasters (assuming we're talking about the TV show). /I also was on a Pan Am 747 that lost an engine (maybe 2; I was young and memory fades) over the Pacific and had to head back to Honolulu. I'll still fly, but it's not my favorite thing anymore

    . . . until it isn't.

    Planes require parts and constant maintenance. That takes money. Who wants to bet that airplane maintenance is somewhere down the monetary to-do list or that he stiffs the company that maintains the plane.

    Yeah, I understood that. It's not an unreasonable take.

    *not counting George Martin Holden? I never read much about his personal issues, but there's no excuse for that sort of thing. On the musical side of the equation, I'd say that if you're the third or fourth best Beatle, that's not for nothing. That is to say, I'm perfectly comfortable with the idea that he was the least musically-talented member of the band. But it would not have been the Beatles without him. And to whatever extent he made noteworthy contributions over the years, it made a difference.

    Anyone remember Stephen King's The Dead Zone? Talk about prescient.

    Okay. I've got one of those (Ranco) on my chest freezer from when I used to homebrew. I've been thinking about rigging it up to a reptile heater pad and tossing that in the cooler to keep the brisket warm. Perhaps cheaper, but I still like the look of the $300 warmer from some of Amazon's Asian importers.

    I thought about that too. These aren't much more than a cheapo Masterbuilt though and I might be allowed to bring it inside at Thanksgiving. Plus, the warmer maxes out at 150 (on the dial). I'm sure the sweet spot is somewhere lower than that, but how low will a cheap electric smoker go?
