  1. FWIW, I'm not a Dodgers fan. And I should have said in my prior post that you are excluded from the "douchebag" comment because you're reasonable. Mea culpa.
  2. Part of me is pleased that we'll have at least one more game. With that said, fuck the Yankees and their douchebag fans.
  3. My grandpa drove a 1946 Schenley. Rode great but he could never find parts anywhere.
  4. Yeah, before and after pix would have been interesting -- both as to the bottles and the participants.
  5. Yeah, I almost added to my prior post the fact that he was having health issues right around that time, which might have influenced the decision to not charge him.
  6. As for the pipe bombs, IIRC he claimed to know nothing about them when they were discovered and asserted that they must have been hidden away in his residence by some ex-con friend who had stayed at the location for a period of time previously. Pretty thin explanation if you ask me, so I'm not sure why charges were never brought on that basis.
  7. Very talented and intelligent. And hot, too. RIP.
  8. The inclusion of the maiden name (or a name very close to it) from that cipher was the most significant piece of physical evidence from that series, IMO. It was kind of a "whoa" moment for sure. But I know lots of Zodiac-philes have been questioning whether that cipher is legit because it was received by an Albany paper (all of the Zodiac's other communications had been received in CA) years after the killings known to have been committed by the Zodiac occurred, and because the writing seems different from the other ciphers that authorities are certain came from the Zodiac. One can definitely understand how/why so many people have "gone down the rabbit hole" and are completely wrapped up in investigating this case. It's really fascinating.
  9. There's a ton of circumstantial evidence against Allen, and that Netflix series only adds to it. If those Seawater siblings are telling the truth, the case against Allen just got even stronger. But the series glossed over the fact that the cops could never marshal any physical evidence against Allen despite serving multiple warrants. And the initial handwriting analysis failed to show a match. I know very little about that Gary Francis Poste guy. In scanning the article about the "Case Breakers," a lot of the "evidence" seemed very thin and/or speculative. Barring some sort of DNA match, I don't think we'll ever know for sure who the Zodiac was.
  10. Yep, command was given but boat never actually submerges on camera. In the movie, there's a brief scene as the boat is pulling in to its destination and then a shot of Indy hiding behind some crates, soaking wet. Apparently there's a deleted scene from the movie that explains that while the boat did submerge, it was only barely below the water surface with its periscope up. Indy supposedly lashes himself to the periscope with his whip and hangs on . . . for hours. [Yeah, *that's* realistic.] https://www.cbr.com/indiana-jones-raiders-of-the-lost-ark-deleted-scene-submarine-controversy/#:~:text=The novelization by Campbell Black,the water the whole time.
  11. The only possible explanation is that it didn't submerge. We never specifically see the vessel submerge in the movie. U-boats traveled faster and far more efficiently on the surface than submerged, so if there was no need to submerge, it wouldn't have done so.
  12. 10 fucking penalties for more than 100 yards. Just way too sloppy all game. Sark's interview makes me ill. Apparently we played pretty well. ["rolls eyes*]
  13. Midrange is where he's maddeningly inconsistent. Close range he's actually pretty consistent
  14. These fucking refs. No way that's a fucking hold
  15. You do realize Vandy has 17 points thru 3 quarters, with both TDs coming on short fields. Vandy has under 200 yards of offense. The defense has been mostly good.
  16. How do 2 fucking gunners both miss the tackle?
  17. Niblack and Campbell on consecutive plays just kill us.
  18. Lulz. He's a frosh, killed his first punt at the 1, and then had a bad second punt. And he's punting in his first game in several weeks. But apparently he's "done." Whaddaya say we see if he can make up for one bad play?
