  1. BOOO!!! Come back and win this game!
  2. its got to be right under the surface. If I were thinking it about my own team it would be...why do they lose one out of three games in a weekend series so consistently?
  3. As for winning and losing. I wake up each morning thinking about the night before. A little more philosophical during the great years than the crap years (I remember thinking in 1989 when it was all going to crap...but we have Greg Gohr coming), but each day starts with the understanding of the Tiger's place in the Universe and why that matters.
  4. You ARE the Poet Lauriat of Motownforums. That's almost as good as being the moderator. You have the ability to declare things poetic or unpoetic. Banning for lack of flow in your wisdoms.
  5. Mon Mothma... Hakeem Jeffries Delays House Vote With Marathon Speech Opposing Trump’s Policy Bill - The New York Times
  6. It’s washington DC, those nerds are working
  7. was there some insane wager on that parlay that would lead one to think it was a fix?
  8. let one of the AL Central teams get under 10 games out and it will be freakout time
  9. I walked out of my house into a steady rain. I sure hope they remembered to put the tarp down at Nats Park.
  10. Nobody wants to throw their body on the grenade. Maybe if Elon can rally $ome freedumb caucus types
  11. I'm unable to respond by order of the Peaky Blinders
  12. Mark Chadbourn: "Iranian hackers are threatening to release 100 gigabytes of private emails from Trump’s circle, including Roger Stone and Stormy Daniels, Reuters reports." — Bluesky Don't threaten me with a good time, Iran.
  13. Thank you. If the wife loses her gig we may have to temper our vacation plans for next year and I was lobbying for a trip to Toronto/Niagra Falls. This makes the list for sure. Edit: woops...I needed to zoom out. It is over on Detroit side. I might make it a stop this year when I drag my kids over the border to prove we have passports.
  14. Famously a big deal in Washington, DC.
  15. Its like a Thomas the Tank Engine episode come to life :--)
  16. similarly there should be an underground railroad terminus site in Canada. Maybe St. Catherines where Harriet Tubman lived.
  17. I'd like to see the Rouge Complex and the Willow Run plant put on as the Arsenal of Democracy site.
  18. Erie Moon Mammoth purple is pretty strong. Its not usual.
  19. Does anyone remember the UNESCO World Heritage thread from the previous site? This is an interesting conversation starter List of World Heritage Sites in the United States - Wikipedia Where should there be UNESCO sites in the US that are not yet?
  20. Gettysburg is an incredible combined historical site. Of all the historic battlefields I have visited I would put them in this order: Verdun: the starkness of it. There are 100,000 skulls of unidentified dead in the Douaumont Ossuary Gettysburg: History's hinge is at Little Round Top. 24th Michigan was there. Normandy: This one sprawls over an entire region but so many incredibly well-preserved sites. Omaha Beach, Bayeux, the memorial cemeteries, the mulberry, the Orne river and Caen canal bridges. The Market Garden sites in Holland. The British Airborne Museum is definitely worth a visit. I would still like to visit the Canadian WW1 battlefields in Belgium. if I had a lot of money i'd go to the Pacific battlefields (e.g., Bataan/Corregidor, Guadalcanal, Okinawa). I don't think you are allowed to go to Iwo Jima and Midway for different reasons. I might try to go to some of the Napoleonic battlefields in Spain because 1. its Spain and 2. I hear they are visually interesting. I didn't think too much of Waterloo. Too much fawning over Napoleon and not over the Brits and Prussians who beat him. There are a lot of battlefields in Scotland and the UK to visit but none of them seem particularly compelling like the above.
  21. according to Wikipedia it was three other dudes.
  22. He's got those weird techno-fascistic tendencies. He can rattle off nomenclature and other techno-babble with the best of them. He clearly wants to take the pis out of the authorities but also seems to find a lot of the world of police and authority of interest.
  23. every once in a while I will have a momentary success at work and declare my self "King of the Pimps" resulting in long conversations with managers, HR and mediation struggle sessions.
