  1. Good to see El Patron made it through & tip of the cap to you, Bruin, for going to support them. On a much sadder note . . . some good friends (a couple, Leon and Carol -- both in their 70's with health issues) had their home destroyed in the Eaton Fire. Both were distraught about losing their home of 40+ years, and both went significantly downhill health-wise in the ensuing weeks as they dealt with stress, insurance issues, and the loss of so much of their personal property. A couple weeks ago, Carol suffered a stroke, and shortly after that Leon had a fatal heart attack. The fire killed him -- plain and simple.
  2. Amen. Dig that song a lot, in large part due to his drumming.
  3. One of the best drummers I've seen play live. RIP
  4. Currently in trial but glad to see Steele getting into form.
  5. Yes, advantage aggy "big picture" by waiting to pay Jimbo the rest of his gargantuan buyout and drawing interest on it in the meantime.
  6. Damn. Sure wish Kilauea had been erupting when we were there last year. I bet that's a sight to behold.
  7. My top 2 PTA films are Boogie Nights and TWBB. I'd have to think about #3 and beyond, but I can tell you The Master would be toward (or at) the bottom. It aspired for greatness and didn't come close.
  8. When one of your "game leaders" is someone who allowed 7 runs (all earned, BTW) in 4 innings of work, you know it's been a bad day. An aggy day.
  9. Aggy athletics 2024-25: "When does meat-judging season start?"
  10. Yeah, Hard 8 is a good place to start. Terrific film. Follow it up with Boogie Nights (my personal fave among PTA's movies), and that's a really good double feature.
  11. Opened a bottle of this recently, and it is well worth the $50 or so I paid, IMO. I'll have to explore the rest of Green River's lineup.
  12. I've heard that.
  13. [*WTFgif*]
  14. I don't really know what it's about, but I'll watch just about any PTA film. In.
  15. Yup, exact future times of aircraft takeoffs, drone departures, and expected time of first strike, etc. Anyone suggesting that this wasn't classified information (or information that should have been classified as such) is a fucking moron.
  16. It was a non-issue for those morons one minute after it hit the news days ago. That's the problem -- a huge chunk of our country is composed of imbeciles who don't care about objective facts.
  17. Nah, the only person who can do that is Putin.
  18. Classic Trump-ian response. 1. Deny, deny, deny 2. Attack/smear the other side. 3. Ignore the objective facts/evidence.
  19. Maybe this has been posted before -- I dunno. First time I saw it was today, though, so . . . Unfortunately, the video only captures part of the song and cuts off abruptly.
  20. At least Greenland (and Canada) will have advance warning of the attack. [*stolen from my Facebook feed*]
