  1. Your mind might have been clouded by the typically wooden Tobey Maguire performance in that one. It permeated the entire film.
  2. Did you see Monster?
  3. Definitely a strong Sela Ward resemblance. And that's a very good thing.
  4. Lee *is* a good get for them, but, yeah, they're losing a lot of talent off that defense due to graduation, early departure for the draft, and portal. Both are true, but the ags are gonna have to bring in a helluva lot more than Lee to offset their losses.
  5. I haven't had the issue with the garlic disintegrating on me, but throwing 'em into the boil a bit later than the japs makes sense to me. I also haven't tried the recipe without doing the cold water bath, but I assume a big reason for that step is that it makes the peppers easier to handle when you're cutting the tops/stems off. I can't imagine skipping that step makes a difference in taste. And, yeah, squeeze bottles are great for this stuff. I don't double the recipe because I'm the only one eating it (the wife isn't big on spicy food), but it still goes quick.
  6. Was there last weekend. If you're looking for an off-strip restaurant, the food at The Black Sheep (on Warm Springs Road about 10 miles SW of the strip) was really good. And Piero's was excellent as well.
  7. Staley out as HC for the Chargers, along with the GM (Telesco). https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39119933/chargers-fire-head-coach-brandon-staley-gm-tom-telesco
  8. That's the fact, Jack!
  9. Seconded. The Victorinox paring knife is a goddam scalpel.
  10. Fuck Mahomes. Whiny ass pussy. Ref absolutely made the correct call.
  11. So which one of you wants to take credit for being the "cousin" in CheersforBeers' post? I have no cousins who are aggies, so it can't be me . . .
  12. Oh, I enjoy watching aggy lose as well, no question. And in some instances (e.g., 77-0, App State, etc.), the enjoyment is even greater than usual. But it doesn't come close to outweighing the pleasure I get from seeing Texas win. I guess it's just difficult for me to fathom the depth of the hatred that has to exist in order for a person to take more pleasure in the demise of another team than in their own team winning.
  13. LMAO at the ag who would rather see Texas lose than aggy win. That's some next-level jealousy.
  14. Wait a minute -- the uncle's name was "Bob"? Wasn't this guy by chance? [Yes, I know "John Denver" was a stage name.] In all seriousness, John Denver had a terrific voice. He showcases it pretty well on this song.
  15. The last 3 minutes were a total shit show.
  16. " . . . at this point." Lulz
  17. Exhibit A of aggy delusion. "Used to dominate the big 12 for the most part . . ." It appears that winning 1 conference championship in 16 seasons, compiling a conference winning percentage of approximately 54%, losing 10 of 16 games to Tech, and losing 11 of 16 games to Texas = domination in this sap's mind.
  18. In the portal according to this guy. EDIT: And IT.
  19. Oh, but you should. So many gems in there. I think my favorite might be this one: "This is a great deal. We're going to look at it again [?] as a great bargain."
