Concerts you are attending
Bun E. is super cool. He regularly releases board recordings of old CT concerts, practice sessions, etc., on Facebook and Youtube. Daxx has certainly gotten better -- substantially so, IMO. But Bun E. had a certain swing or feel that can't be replicated.

Well, you know what they say -- a German who goes around the corner for lunch usually takes a turn for the wurst.

I was unaware that Elko had been found passed out by the dumpsters behind The Chicken. Is he okay?- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Delusional Elk is my favorite type of Elk.- Trivia/History thread
Relatively *recent* history . . . This happened four years ago. Still makes me chuckle and shake my head. https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2025/05/27/happy-javyversary-four-years-ago-today-javy-baez-did-the-most-el-mago-thing-ever/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKjEHtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETF0QkNScGJYSlY3eVliaG0zAR5WZxDwClPqlSMZTIHz0ElI6_ooDZhOLrz89_FPjseFJ1zlknFMpwGZ6Jn9JA_aem_q6RGee6Ew2UMPwDNSVkZ3w- The Guitar Pron Thread
Dude probably deserves his own thread. He could play.- The movie you just watched
Black Bag. Thumbs up.- MLB and MiLB Ballpark Thread
This thread caused me to consider the MLB parks I've seen in my life. Only a dozen. That needs to change.- Worst album cover artwork
- Concerts you are attending
Daxx Nielsen, one of Rick's sons. Daxx has been the drummer for them for about the last 15 years. He has definitely improved since the last time I saw them about 6 years ago.- Concerts you are attending
Saw Cheap Trick last night. Good show, but they are showing their age.- Bourbon
$190 would have been reasonable for that bottle, but at $191 it's overpriced. Live and learn.- Trivia/History thread
Not sure where to put this, so I'll put it here. Thought this was an interesting article on the "kangaroo courts" Frank Robinson and Don Baylor used to run. In today's game, I think they still exist but not to the extent they once did. https://tht.fangraphs.com/the-kangaroo-court-and-frank-robinson/- Switzerland Thread?
Surly never disappoints- Switzerland Thread?
Bumpity bump simply because it appears the wife and I will be going there for about a week in September, so I'm looking for recs in all regards (sites, hotels, eats, what to avoid, etc.). I've been there once before as a teenager a million years ago, but we didn't spend a ton of time in Swiss-land before heading south into Italy on that occasion, so it's going to be like seeing it again for the first time for me. Wife has never been there. We're pretty wide open in terms of where to go and what to see. Mrs. Spackler is more interested in seeing the Alps, checking out mountain villages, doing some hikes, etc., than she is in seeing cities like Zurich or Lucerne, although I wouldn't rule out the idea of spending a day in someplace like Bern or Zurich if it's worth doing so. My initial thoughts are to use Interlaken as a base for at least a few days to explore the Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, etc. areas. Zermatt is a definite possibility as well. Learn me on Switzerland, oh Surlyites. This thread is helpful as is the other one about "Switzerland in the summer," but more info is always good.

That's what my buddy said when we were driving in the desert trying to dispose of a body.- "It's a dog-eat-dog-world and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear" -- RIP, Norm
What'll you have, Normie? Well, I'm in a gambling mood, Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of that tap. Looks like beer, Norm. Call me Mister Lucky.- "It's a dog-eat-dog-world and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear" -- RIP, Norm
