Billy Joel's got enough for 2 new verses for We didnt Start the Fire. I mean seriously, the 50s' and 60's get all the work there then the 70' and 80's is like yeah, Watergate, Sally Ride, Reagan, AIDS, Coke... we're good.

oh no anyway....

Well, they better fucking make it stick, or god help us all.

Deadening the ball to 1980s levels would speed up the game. I'm starting to think Baseball will never seriously speed up the game. Manfred gave away the whole game when he relayed the comment Adam Silver made to him, about gamblers using down time to place their bets. More downtime, more bets, more revenue for Baseball, and especially sweet because the players can't touch it.

I listened to games on the radio and made my own box scores and kept track of Tigers statistics as best as I could until TSN came at the end of the week. If I couldn't listen to the game because it was a day game or there was too much static, I would cut the boxscores out of the paper if they had them.

since it lately seems too non-random for the Random Randomness thread... I haven't played Wordle etc yet, but someone at work posted Worldle today: https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ #Worldle #40 3/6 (100%) 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜↙️ 🟩🟩🟩🟨⬜⬇️ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🎉 https://worldle.teuteuf.fr

They need to stretch it to 60 seconds or shorten it to 30 seconds and start buying spots on Fox News, and maybe even the other two right-wing blowtorch networks. It's not going to do much good if it remains buried deep within a hard-to-spell website with a .gop TLD.

he's gone full civil war general with that beard. i expect to hear violins and hear ken burns talking about mystic chords of memory when i see him.

He’s been posting conspiracy theories on his Twitter about fluoride lowing your IQ. So he’s even a quack dentist.

Hard to believe this man was once the president of the United States. Pretty effective video.

I know! I might as well just retire, go out on top.

Because they think it gives them cover to be dicks, because, you know, that's what Jesus would do.

VDV is the airborne troops. These are the Russian forces that are trying to fight.

A reminder that it really is about class and caste. Skin color just happens to be one of the proxy shortcuts for many, but white people can signal their own status through behavior and appearance and get hammered if it's the wrong type of either.

Neither bone spurs nor a rich daddy. By the time my dad and his brothers were drafted to fight in Nam they were kicked out of their house by their father and lived in a two bedroom house in Ecorse with their mom and sister. Being rich gets you out of your National Guard duties too.

Yep, that's what they did to poor people like my dad and his brothers. A poor white kid from Ecorse like my dad who was never going to college at the time got put in the draft and forced enlistment. That's exactly what will happen to these Russian protestors, only they'll skip over the draft part and go right to the enlistment step.

Did you know that James Caan based his Sonny mannerisms on Don Rickles? And John Ventemiglia, Artie Bucco from The Sorpanos, based his on James Caan doing Sonny.

Good idea on having it's own thread. This is a fun game. Todays Wordle took me 7 tries. Yes, I only get 6 but when I saw the sixth attempt my brain went "a ha!".

He’s about to go all Sonny Corleone on that spray bottle. 😂

I don't think we are supposed to post videos or photos of other forum members without their permission.

Typical for someone born with an aluminum tray in his mouth

i didnt know our old friend martin mayhew is back as the gm for the artists formerly known as the washington redskins. also, washington tried to trade a first and third for stafford last year? huh, i dont remember reading that either.

I usually have whatever game I'm watching on the TV while spending most of my time on my laptop or phone. There's so much downtime in all sports that I find I end up paying more attention to what I'm doing on the cpu then the game. I never used to be that way until like 10 or so years ago, I blame smartphones for killing my attention span, any time there's a break in the action now Im on Twitter, posting in the game day threads on here or watching something on YouTube.

Maybe they could tell that that particular president was neither strong nor respected.

1. No one likes being talked down to. “Let me help you so you know what I know. Then you can talk to me on my level.” 2. Arguing the position has to do with the crazy sized capacity for ammunition to kill too many victims in so little time. I happen to know the difference between a magazine and a clip. Doesn’t enter into the argument. What is your point? Knowing the difference between a magazine and a clip will change minds about random shootings with multiple casualties?

I respect their service to the country but when the current faces of the Republican Party are Trump, Boebert and Greene (along with a few others of their ilk) and the party has offered no constructive policies other than tax cuts for the very rich. I really don't give a damn about their feelings.

I despise the fact that they support Trump. I love the fact that they are serving our country. I think they are being used by Trump and his handlers.

At their age I was cutting box scores out of the newspaper so I could look at a whole season's worth.

Yeah, it leans R but probably more like 65/35, not 90/10. Related, iirc, but some of the precincts with the decent swings away from Trump 2016-2020 (per the NYT precinct map) are places with military bases. Places like Fort Bliss, Fort Sill, Fort Hood, etc.

No one who supports a cretin like Trump has any right to call someone else a dolt. Donald Trump literally had to pay a proxy to take his college exams for him he's such a maroon. The guy drew on a weather map with a sharpie and asked about injecting bleach into your body to combat Covid. His own Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called him a fucking moron. The guy is the King of the Clods.

If we were on the old board, "Why must liberals always scream and jeer" would be bumped with that picture of MTG and Borebert jeering.

If you ever have a phillips head screw that is stripped, put a rubber band in the slots and try again. Viola!

Carry a spare razor in your glove box or center console just in case you realize you missed a spot.

Russia has taken control of Kherson. Ukrainian forces have withdrawn.
