  1. My understanding has always been that TP punched the wall and broke his hand all to hell because of dissatisfaction with how the recording was going on one of his songs on Southern Accents.
  2. Just an atrocious effort. No attempt to wrap at all.
  3. That open shift box *is* cool.
  4. Fucking Blue Jays, you had it in your hands & just coughed it up. Can't squander that many opportunities against that caliber of a team. Great game, great series. Congrats to LA. They kept fighting the entire time & made the plays.
  5. JFC, just stop. Did you forget the first three fucking quarters?
  6. OK, fair enough. But you do realize that play probably doesn't happen if the refs had properly called DPI on Vandy during the prior Texas drive, right?
  7. Sark's responsible for the refs blowing obvious fucking calls??
  8. Filsaime having a shitty game. Missed tackle on the Vandy TD and a stupid personal foul.
  9. I don't mind it at all.
  10. That's sad news about Marcia Ball. She certainly knows her way around the keyboard. Would play up a storm while kicking one of her crossed legs to the rhythm. Speaking of weddings, I once saw her play a wedding reception. The groom (who was a friend of a friend) absolutely loved Marcia Ball's music, so they came up with enough $ to get her to play the reception. Unfortunately, things got cut short when the groom hurt himself dancing during the festivities.
  11. My first thought was, "Why the hell is someone dedicating a thread to a brand of sewing machines?"
  12. That reminds me -- you haven't invited me over for dinner in . . . ever.
  13. The wife (no pics) and I are only occasional wine drinkers, and imbibe more red than white. But she does have a fondness for "old school" (at least from a California standpoint) Chardonnay, i.e., buttery, oaky, malolactic fermentation up the wazoo Chardonnay. That style is obviously no longer the trend, and it frustrates her whenever she tastes a new Chardonnay and gets nothing but bright, minerally, stone-fruit tasting notes ("If I wanted something that tastes like sauvignon blanc, I'd order sauvignon blanc!") My understanding is that the newer trend of lighter, more fruit-forward Chardonnay is actually more like the classic European Chardonnays and thus is actually more "old school" than the butter bombs that California produced back in the 1990's and early aughts, but that's not what she likes, so . . . Surly wine gurus, please recommend me some buttery, oaky Chardonnay, preferably $50 or less. I keep seeing Rombauer popping up when I do some online investigation, along with labels like Far Niente, Frank Family, and Hamilton Russell. Any others I need to be looking at?
  14. Shitty spot by refs
  15. Cost the Jays a run. Never seen that in a MLB game
