Well, yeah, it's the Clippers. Did you really expect something different?

This team is soft.

I have not assigned an order to this list. It was fucking hard enough paring it down to only 10 players: Jordan Lebron Wilt Kareem Bird Duncan Magic Kobe Oscar Dream It was difficult to leave Russell, West, and some others off.

He drew a flag against Green Bay earlier this year when he was still in-bounds.

Went out doing what he loved. If you gotta go (and we all do at some point), that's the way to do it. RIP to Mr. Sonnier. As you said, Hulla, he was the real deal.

Hell of a vision.

Which models are we looking at there? I've been on a bit of a SAK kick lately. In addition to the alox Bantam upthread a bit, I picked up a Compact last week. I had resisted buying one for quite a while because of the price -- you can get much better bang for the buck with other models, IMO. But the tool set in the Compact has always intrigued me, and I finally bought one recently with a gift card.

Then gimme a Pepsi Free.

I-dentical! Yep, Cafe Beignet is pretty close in my experience, which was a while back. But if the lines are short enough, Du Monde is still a fun experience for first-timers.

That's because a good chunk of the decision is already written or at least outlined in considerable detail.

Cannot stop laughing at this photo. Left to right: smarmy smirking attorney; an enraged Trump; Melania look-alike who Trump has undoubtedly banged/attempted to bang. Trump's glowering is the best part

He was pretty believable as an Aryan Brotherhood leader in Shot Caller as well.

An underappreciated gem, IMO.

Bad day at Squaw. https://www.yahoo.com/news/searches-under-way-following-avalanche-193736273.html

It was that way for some people at Tahoe Palisades f/k/a Squaw Valley today, unfortunately. RIP to the poor person who died in the 'lanche. KT-22 is no joke. https://www.yahoo.com/news/searches-under-way-following-avalanche-193736273.html

Exactly what I was thinking while watching the game.

I thought this year was quite a bit better than many recent years. To each their own.

Cheaters prosper.

Can UW limit the Michigan ground attack? If not, Michigan wins. I think it's as simple as that. A rolling Michigan ground game opens up play action for McCarthy and keeps Penix on the sideline. Will be pulling for UW despite the Sugar Bowl result. I don't like cheaters.

Eh. It was a chickenshit move by the Saints, though I understand it was the players on the field (and not the NO coaches) who made the decision to run a play rather than taking a knee. I don't think I'd be too happy if an opponent pulled something like that. You wanna just run a regular play? Fine -- it's up to me to stop you and I won't bitch at all if you end up scoring. But if you go into victory formation, you better be taking a knee, not trying to score. The next time New Orleans runs victory at the end of a game, they'd better be on the lookout for the defense crashing the line hard, because the opponent will justifiably point to today's game and say, "We can't be sure New Orleans will actually take a knee in that situation after they pulled that bullshit on Atlanta." That said, Smith is probably gone and he did a shitty job this season, so my guess is that his frustration probably stemmed at least in part from knowing he's a dead man walking and not just the Saints' shenanigans. And he misused Bijan. (And maybe that's what you were referring to.)

Saw thread title and was going to post the same thing.

While the Cadet still rocks, that little Bantam is definitely useful and even slimmer. But if you like the nail file component and use it occasionally, you may want to just stick with the Cadet. I seldom use the nail file thingy.

I do not play guitar, so I have no idea if this solo (starting at 1:12) is technically difficult. All I know is that I love it -- it's packed with emotion and feeling.

So . . . I'm a big fan of the Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet in alox. (Frankly, I'm a fan of just about any Victorinox SAK, but I loooooove the Cadet.) It's so well made and packs so much utility into a small, tidy package. I have three because a couple times I thought I had lost one, so I ordered another and then the original re-appeared later. It's a great knife to slip into a suit pocket or have at the office when you don't want to freak co-workers out if you need a blade for some reason. For Xmas, someone gave me a Victorinox Bantam in alox as a kind of stocking stuffer, and this thing is even sweeter than the Cadet. It's even slimmer and has just about the same amount of utility. It drops the nail file/nail cleaner tool (which I barely use anyway) and combines the can opener/bottle opener tools into one. Just a fantastic piece of equipment for only a little over $20.
