  1. One night, on the other side of the window on the far right, Dolly Parton wrote two songs. One would later be covered by Whitney Houston, the other by Beyonce'. Think about that for a minute.
  2. @Snow Dog knows what we're talking about!
  3. I was just thinking about this: I don't know anybody who is a serious cyclist who hasn't broken his collarbone at some point or another. It's the weak link when you fall and extend your arms
  4. Collarbone breaks are often incredibly painful. And ribs only hurt when you breathe. Bad turn of luck for Wout.
  5. Finkley flashed last year and I thought that he might be ready this year but you've got to think that Simmons, Sorrell, Moore and Burke are going to be there and we're hearing great things about Walton, too. We're running out of snaps. Finkley would start on almost any team. It's an embarrassment of riches, though I'm not embarrassed.
  6. "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy." --- F. Scott Fitzgerald Sadly, you just get the feeling that it's not going to end well for Vince. He's made a lot of really dumb decisions. At some point, it's on him. I hope he's able to get the help that he needs but it feels to me like he won't. Too many enablers, too many people who don't have his best interests at heart, and he lacks the inner wisdom/guidance to understand that.
  7. All of that seems rather immaterial when some guy like Jeff Yass can basically fart out one billion dollars and buy a political party.
  8. Sounds like pretty much every four year span in modern American life to me.
  9. Pogo has been on fire in the early part of the season, too.
  10. Great video. Gary Moore was a virtuoso!
  11. Until you've done it in front of a big band you're only wanking around!
  12. Binging The Gentleman well I recover from some surgery. I like it because it is a great drinking show. Seems like everything they're drinking something and I'm saying, " wow, I'll bet that's really good."
  13. Atascocita shatters the national record by almost one second in the 4x100: 38.92. Duncanville also beat the national record and came in second. How would that feel? You beat the record ... and come in second. For comparison, the women's world record in the 4x100 was set by the U.S. women's Olympic team in London and is 40.82 seconds.
  14. Everybody and their dogs had one of these. Now, 99% of them are in landfills. What a country.
  15. I am a lifelong Beatles freak/fan. I have heard the song "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" approximately 17257 times. I have seen the Ed Sullivan Show performance of that song approximately 9754 times. I recently learned that the lyrics are NOT And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feelin' that my love I get high I get high I get high but, rather: And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feelin' that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hide I am dumbstruck, flummoxed, hornswoggled etc...
  16. I am enjoying the vibe on Threads. I see posts from people that I actually want to see posts from. I only have 11,000 followers so not a great deal but they are hanging in there. It will be interesting to see what happens with all these social media platforms. I think I'm on about 15 of them now, though I don't have time to tend to them all on a daily basis.
  17. That sounds like something Elon will use in his marketing.
  18. Angela Chao's blood alcohol level was .233, three times the legal limit.
  19. The one thing that could upset the apple cart is as black swan event, like a huge terror attack coordinated by people who had come across the border.
