    I’ve never read it! (Or American rust). Is it more cormac McCarthy or Larry McMurtry? I do love a good period piece and a good western.

    I’m not a garnacho fan, but that was ridiculous! What was he even thinking.

    I see someone hasn't read their Dickens

    Don't forget the TROPICAL 7up

    I also think I learned the word "recidivism" from shaggy. Thanks, guys.

    I remember the strange exhilaration I felt when I first spotted someone I knew on a shaggy apd mugshots thread: she was a colleague, booked for dwi. I’d been hanging out with her (in a group) that night and she put a pool cue through a barroom light fixture before insisting she was ok to drive. Offered me a ride, probably looking for more, but I insisted on cycling home. Good call, in retrospect.

    Not sure if I buy it but kinda love the complete reversal I saw from many of my stubborn deadhead compatriots

    I’m not even hours removed from thanksgiving dinner and everything on this thread is looking delicious. May be sneaking back to the fridge in a bit

    Is that a bevo under that tarp?

    I’d always get so mad when the cops would randomly close the entire 183 ramp system at about that time of morning and you’d have to find some way around. things got a lot better once they finally fixed those bridges

    On the drive to family thanksgiving stopped at a couple distilleries and picked up two bottles I’m excited about: single barrel releases from Evan Williams and jack daniel. I generally have loved heaven hill bourbon and rye barrel selections, so that was a no brainer. I don’t really ever drink jack daniel black label, but their single barrel and special releases have been solid, in my experience.

    So re the indy/Marian thing: he was a grad student at UChicago, so probably early twenties. She was the daughter of his phd supervisor (Ravenwood) so there’s no telling how old she was. "I was just a child" could be idiomatic or could be literal. Still sketchy, but probably not as much as @CooterBrown suggests.

    Started rewatching the Young Indy Chronicles tonight with the family. Didn’t realize they’d re-edited and repackaged them since I first watched. They cut out the "old Indy" framing device entirely and jammed them together into 80 minute episodes. Probably most jarring is that they put them in roughly chronological order so they no longer alternate between child Indy and teenaged Indy

    This thread is great. Even though I’m not a gamer, I had a blast looking through all these photos, especially those from @BoomMF. I knew Cole W. at UT, so have been glad to watch him find so much success in this field. He seemed always to want to be designing games instead of doing the boring school stuff, so I can imagine this is something of a dream gig for him.

    Proceeding backward through this thread, I’m not surprised to discover that old white dudes love detailed accounts of wartime and Rome and reductive accounts of history. That said, all that stuff is entertaining. I do have trouble with the David Graeber kind of stuff, but bullshit jobs had an interesting premise. But his bad etymology stuff in chapter one was pissing me off, so I gave up. I’ve returned recently to the Thomas Harris Hannibal books and they hold up. Silence of the Lambs is awesome. I don’t think I’d read it since middle school.

    I’m sorry to say I found this one to be kind of a slog. I feel like they gave her the Pulitzer really for THE SECRET HISTORY, which is a gd masterpiece and a favorite of mine

    Chandler’s Philip Marlowe and Hammett’s Continental Op/Sam Spade are great. If you’re liking the hard boiled stuff I can also recommend James Ellroy and Walter Mosley. There’s so much good stuff out there. i also tend toward detective stuff and love Dorothy Sayers, Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie. For one y’all have probably never encountered, check out The Conjure-Man Dies by Rudolph Fisher — doctor-detective solves a baffling murder in 1930s Harlem

    *an online cult
  23. YuppiesOfftheEastSide
    I was waiting for the sex cult to finally materialize and everyone to move to bumfuck Michigan. I guess that might still be a future stage of the cult plan. but what was totally not compelling for me was how little persuasion it took to keep these guys locked in. All they had to do was log off! It’s on a line cult! I laughed every time they did the "leave Facebook group graphic". It’s that easy, my friends!

    Friend made a complex, multifaceted poster timeline and genealogy just to keep everything straight. I still had trouble tracking everything. So much fun though

    Ream and Turner anger is one thing, but imagine immaturity so shocking that Gio Reyna is bitching you out
