2024 NFL free agency/off season thread
Tragic. Happened after 3 a.m. with at least one vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and alcohol possibly involved. A sadly familiar refrain.

RIP Gene Parmesan
I never really considered it, but it dawned on me after reading your post that you're absolutely right. They were remarkably similar in how they played characters.

Yo Ho Ho - Let's Talk Rum
You might try Angostura 1919. I haven't had it myself, but it's a gold rum from Trinidad & Tobago like 10 Cane was, so maybe it'll be similar. It may be a little pricey for a mixer, but if you really want a gold rum, it's probably one you can find somewhere like TW or Bevmo.

Yo Ho Ho - Let's Talk Rum
It's another rum kind of night with a couple of old favorites: El Dorado 12 & Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. P.S. Rum was made for cigars. Or vice versa. I forget which.

All the shots of those two are probably driving the ags nuts. Really hoping they'll ask Schloss about the Texas rumors when they interview him -- that'll drive aggy over the edge.

Nice hit -- too bad he left his brain at the plate along with his bat. And with a runner on 3rd, too. Ay yi yi.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
It doesn't matter how many times I see the gomers do their yell practice shit, I always end up rolling my eyes and shaking my head. It's so BAD that the ridiculous nature of it simply can't be tempered by the passage of time or repetition.

The Three Best Movies You've Never Seen, or Seen and Didn't Like
Definitely some parallels between AG and Fandango, which I think is a fine film, esp. for a first-time director on a major release.

The Three Best Movies You've Never Seen, or Seen and Didn't Like
One of the interesting things about American Graffiti for me is that even though it was set in a year only 11 years before it was released (1962 vs. 1973), American culture had changed so much in that time span that the vibe of the movie was nostalgic even though it was set only about 10 years prior. If you made a movie today set in 2013, it wouldn't seem too different. But so much radical stuff occurred between 1962 and 1973 (e.g., the Vietnam War, the drug culture proliferation, the British Invasion, etc.) that 1962 seemed a long time ago even when AG was first released and it was nostalgic. Not only was AG a tribute to the car culture and "hangout" days, it was also about coming of age and the impending loss of innocence.
