    Finally, a man whom she could herself brazenly cuckold until such time as she might choose to, uh - We would say, "Faire un coup de marteau sur des fesses." You would say, "Make hammer on his fanny."

    I'll allow it. [The courtroom strangling scene is pure gold.]

    There's a Yard House down near the LB marina area if you want beer. Or go to Joe Jost's on Anaheim St.. and get a schooner, a Joe's special sandwich, and a pickled egg.

    Neil's response to Skynyrd: Lest anyone think rappers invented diss tracks, Johnny Thunders lets the Sex Pistols know what he thinks of them after the Pistols released "New York."

    Too much Cimarron?

    Color me surprised.

    I like this live version better than the studio cut.

    One of only about two good songs on an otherwise bad album.

    Go to Neuschwanstein. Just do it.

    Wow -- only 57. Way too young -- just like his sister. For some reason, I thought he was older. I first became acquainted with Flat Duo Jets through the Athens, GA -- Inside Out album. They always seemed both derivative and original to me at the same time -- putting their own crazy spin on rockabilly. RIP, Mr. Romweber.

    Pet Sounds was in part a response or reaction to Revolver. Sgt. Pepper was in part a response or reaction to Pet Sounds.

    If you want to hit Zion or Arches, you definitely need to book reservations as early as possible. Given that you're only about 3 months out at this point, you may run into issues with certain days or time slots being already booked up. If I were you, I would nail down plans and check on reservations ASAP if you want to hit those two parks. I don't believe the other 3 Utah NPs have been placed on the reservation system yet, but consult each park's website to be sure if you're thinking about hitting any of them as well. (See my post above about Canyonlands NP. I'll reiterate that if you go to Moab, you should do all you can to find time to hit the Island in the Sky part of Canyonlands NP in addition to Arches.) Also, be aware that Moab can start getting pretty hot in late May.

    Me too. There's a lot of really good whiskey in the $50-80 range, and OF 1910 is one of those bottles.

    Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins. I enjoy ogling Nicole Ari Parker, and Mo'Nique and Mike Epps crack me up in this one.

    Interesting article by Bill Barnwell of ESPN about the decision to take the ball first in OT. The TL:DR version = Barnwell is more critical of Shanahan's decision not to go for it on 4th and 4 on the opening drive of OT than he is of the decision to take the ball first. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39541332/49ers-chiefs-super-bowl-2024-decision-coin-toss-kyle-shanahan-mistake

    I realize time is at a premium on your trip, but if you go to Moab and see only Arches NP, you're doing it wrong. You need to find time to add the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands NP. It's spectacular.

    Mid-20's to early 30's, actually. But your point still stands.

    *so much* "Get some!" [Fun trivial fact: The actor who had those lines was originally slated to have the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman.]

    The guy who wrote that song also wrote Go Cubs Go. He was a good American.

    Just the guy that they had just arrested and placed in the back seat of that vehicle . . . handcuffed . . . presumably after being searched for weapons on his person. (But after seeing the videos, maybe I shouldn't make that presumption.)
  22. Carl Spackler
    That's gold.

    Actually, she asked the idiot male deputy, "Where, right there?" (referring to the deputy's vehicle) and it sounds from the video that he responded in the affirmative (plus he started hosing the vehicle down with gunfire), so she did get *some* information re: where the purported threat was located. The problems were that: (A) she got the info from a moron (she can be forgiven for that as she presumably did not know the guy was *that* much of a lunatic); and (B) she didn't identify a discernible threat before firing at the car herself. I agree with your statement that her reaction is understandable to a point. But I think both of us (and probably just about everyone else on this board) have problems with her action in the form of shooting at the vehicle.
  24. Carl Spackler
    I can understand why the female officer thought that the male officer had been shot. There were several facts that made that conclusion understandable, not the least of which was the male officer yelling that he'd been shot. The problems I have with the female officer is that she didn't identify a discernible target before hosing the vehicle down with gunfire (which potentially placed persons residing in places beyond the vehicle at risk) and she came close to putting the other officer in a crossfire situation (and vice versa). The male officer's actions are completely indefensible. It's damned fortunate that nobody got seriously hurt or killed as a result of his lunacy.
