The poor Yuppers are stuck with the Lions.

That was great. interesting praise from Grohl since I think he is the hardest hitting drummer I've ever seen/heard.

I would have picked it up with a bag just in case. Fun fact: the pistol used to murder the inhabitants of Cielo Drive was found by a kid who, familiar with police shows, handled it properly to avoid smudging prints. He gave it to a police officer who just grabbed the butt of it and it ended up in the storage room for months before somebody remembered it. They had the murder weapon for months.

This reminded me of a funny story. The house we lived in when I was a young kid had an intercom system. It was a convenient way of getting five kids to come to dinner etc. So we sold the house and eventually one of the next owners, rather than removing the system or unplugging it, simply wallpapered over it. Fast foward a number of years, my neighbor next door, who still lives there, is a HAM radio enthusiast. Due to the age of the intercom system, it would occasionally pick up the signals from his HAM radio. The people thought the house was haunted because of the muffled voices coming out of the walls. Funny enough, it didn't even happen when he was using it. It was picking up random signals from all over the world so sometimes the voices would be speaking foreign languages.

We're starting it this week some time. It's perfect timing because we just watched LOTR all the way through. At first my children were disinterested and spent the first half hour drawing on their drawing pads while looking up occasionally. After the first half hour the drawing pads were down and they were fully engaged. I rewatched the Hobbit movies (well two and three) and had to reverse my opinion on them. I don't think i finished the second one originally or I fell asleep so I didn't bother with the third. A rewatch found me thoroughly enjoying them.

One of my top ten sports moments ever. This is another:

Linky?

I have ordered at least 6 guitars from Buyee and have had zero issues with the quality of the packing. The shipping cost is really high but I get that part of it.

I’m prepared. Haven’t had to use it but if/when I do, it will be with every penny.

If you have a bunch of screws laying around, find a piece of foam and screw them in to that. Not only is it a satisfying project, it will help you find the exact one you need when you're in too much of a hurry to empty out that mason jar full of screws to sort through and hopefully find your screw.

Stock up on some good PPE.

Saginaw Michigan boys trying to make it big. I love the choreography.

Here's some OF arm porn:

I love how the color commentator is complaining about the call and the umpiring but at the end concedes that Harold was out.

This is one of those indelible images in my mind.

Perhaps they are using sarcasm? "So I have to prep for a colonoscopy. So that will be fun!"

Dave Parker IMO.

We have a really good marching band here and the schedule is grueling. I am so glad my kids didn't want to participate. Best marching band I ever saw/heard was in a little town called White Pigeon in the early 80's. Phenomenal band due to very dedicated instructors.

Mark, I am really happy for you and Lucy!

Boxers. Nothing else needs to be said.

You're a pretty good guy.....for a moron.

Nobody gets you here either.

When this community began in 1999, those were some lean years so the people that were here were the diehards. It was a really close knit community of friends and there are still a number of us who are still around. We've lost some good ones along the way but we've also gotten rid of some unsavory characters. You know you're an old timer if "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" brings back some memories.

I'm glad you're sticking with it. It's a long road but eventually you hit that "ah ha" moment. Then you'll have many more long roads that become easier to navigate as you go along and the "ah ha" moments will be more satisfying. I'm on the precipice of an "ah ha" moment....(I can feel it) and I've been playing since 1979.
