  1. That asks for the eradication of humankind as they are a disease/ cancer/ plague. I thought your point was reduced birth rates are not a problem. (Hence, reduced homo sapiens population... but not eradication). Hence: Thanos (who is MCU by the way, not DC), who snapped his fingers for an instant reduction of all life by 50%. Forget reduced birth rates, I want to snap my fingers.
  2. This should have a pic of THANOS in your post.
  3. Your posts just keep getting worse and worse. By the minute. You're suffering from early dementia, aren't you? I mean... it's obvious, I can tell.
  4. So ask for the immediate impeachment of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh for: Lying to specific Senators, for lying to The Senate, and for lying to The United States of America.
  5. Concur.
  6. I don't know about years ago... That doesn't make sense since we were in a deflationary pandemic the past two years. But they had 3 meetings last year in September, November and December... where they could have gotten off their asses and made initial interest rate moves. I think June & July 2021 were too early to see signals... although I may be wrong there...
  7. I would prefer Short + Clemens to Castrei. But... not my decision.
  8. Our best hope there is that Jax is one of the top 2 teams and willing to trade out of their spot for a basket full of draft picks. And we'd have to make the winning bid... But I don't think we finish in the top 10 picks next year, let alone the top 4 so... Next Year's puzzle to solve.
  9. Yeah I don't ding anyone for a failed effort, I just ignore it and remember the best efforts...
  10. I like his pop sensibilities and... when he was with the Beatles it was mixed with John's protest or anti-establishment tendencies to create a great mix. Solo all the pop came out in full. Not as good as the Beatles but I still like Jet, Let 'em In, and many others; and I even like his 1st solo album which was intensely acoustic (not exactly accepted at the time but I've always loved acoustic, today and always). But I like John Lennon's solo work as well... for different reasons (the anti-establishment side of me loves his protest solo work...).
  11. I listened to the Beatles a lot, or heard them a lot (not from Dad, but from FM Radio...). And I do love them. Although I love 10,000 bands. Oh, and the 10,000 Maniacs too.
  12. Well... I was only 6 when they broke up so they were actually before my time too... But, funny story(s): I'm at Grandma's house for July 4th celebration, 1971 (anyone know where South Lyon is...?). My 2nd youngest Uncle (9 years older than me, youngest Uncle is 8 years older... so I'm 7, he's 16) has his bedroom in Grandma's basement and all us little kids would sometimes hang out down there, goofing off or tearing things up. So I look up at Uncle Ken and ask: "Who is this?" His eyes go wide, as if I were from some other planet: "It's Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey, by Paul McCartney." I gave him a completely blank stare. Now, mind you, my Dad listens to nothing but shit music. Whatever is the WORST possible music that could be listened to, in any day and age, is what he was/ still is listening to. I had no idea who Paul McCartney, or the Beatles were. Uncle Ken looked at me with his hands spread wide, his jaw dropped to the floor and his head shaking left & right, and without saying "WTF? Are you fucking KIDDING me? What freaking PLANET are you FROM?!?!"... he simply says: "The Beatles?" As if it were an incredulous question of sanity instead of a factual statement. But it was both. So, on July 4th, 1971: I fell in love with the Beatles. Yes, even Paul McCartney too. I still get knocked over with warm sweet memories when I hear Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey. I fell in love with Rock n Roll that day, and learned what music really was, and have never lost my love of music. And yes, growing up in Detroit as a kid it was WRIF-Rock and Led Zep, Yes, Rush, Stones, etc., etc., etc.... and even the Beatles too. But I also grew up appreciating Motown, R&B, a lot of Beatles, a little bit of Funk, the Blues, etc. etc. etc...
  13. They've used Clemens in the OF. So 2B-3B-LF-RF-DH.
  14. Personable. Womanhood. Mankind. Where'd I put my damn camera! Dude, don't forget to turn of the TV! Do I win something?
  15. I actually meant to make a comment on this awhile back but forgot to get back to it. So here goes: I agree that they are not the best at some specific genres in rock, including psychedelia, hard rock, blues, etc... However... I think that they ARE the best at one form of rock: Pop (some call it Top 40...). They are the best Pop band of all time, and probably specifically because of what you mentioned: that they could incorporate any sound form into a workable pop tune. I also think their incredible voices, song-writing, cohesion, rhythm, prolific body of work, experimentation, etc... makes them the best. But just at POP. Not the blues, psychedelia, hard rock, or any related genre. Just pop. Well... That's just a low blow! On a serious note: starting from Help! and Rubber Soul, their music became nuanced or layered enough to... not be any more of those "Love Me Do" level pop tunes. At least it was serious enough to hold my interest...
  16. Start fanning those flames of slow-burn insurrection in Russia into an inferno please.
  17. I think Dingler is our next great position prospect after Greene & Tork...
  18. Quick Wish List: Carson Strong, QB, Nevada. Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama. Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson. Dohnovan West, C/OG, Arizona State.
  19. And isn't that a telling aspect of the difference between Quinn and Holmes. Or, if preferred... A straight up indictment of Quinntricia.
  20. Former safety and he's fast/ quick per reports so... maybe some coverage ability vs. RB's and TE's...
  21. Well he's not a zero as a blocker it says... He's willing and aggressive so that's a start...
  22. Added at a 7th-rounder at #237 to drop 7 spots...
  23. I think we just traded down with the Eagles?
