  1. any links to reference that? I'm curious. I've not be on much other than this site.
  2. Playing for the Astros I think he has a shot. Obviously he has to be healthy. I wouldn't put it past him to keep playing. He's made no secret Nolan Ryan is his hero and he played until 46.
  3. Weather's going to be pretty crappy it looks like. Storm coming in and the rain/snow line looks right through the Metro Detroit area and then it will be very cold. That's a bummer.
  4. Verlander has a very good shot at 300 Wins. When Cabrera got 3000 I looked at the list at the time and it looked like nobody active has a chance. Altuve maybe, if he stays healthy and wants to play longer.
  5. I wouldn’t recognize a single song by her but I love what she’s done. Her tour was great. Seeing the passion and joy she brought to so many was heartwarming. Even better than that is watching all the bros and MAGA jag offs freaking out because she invaded their NFL. I’m here for it. She will make them all her bitch. She’s got the power and insecure little men can’t handle it.
  6. $150M seems like chump change for sure.
  7. The designer of that set negotiated a royalty for every episode. A decent one too. When the bosses found out later they were not happy about it.
  8. If you assume a cost of $200K per person, including salary,benefits, taxes, that’s $7.4M a year. I would think that more than pays for itself with average results.
  9. sometimes there are questions you don't want asked because you are afraid of what the answer will be. Alito and Thomas would support it out of pure spite, "Sure why not. They're jerks anyway and I got this RV I gotta pay for". Gorsuch would go all libertarian and involve some obsure theory that sounds fanciful and quote something from a Greek philospher in 383 B.C.E. Barret would just say "Well that's what God wanted, it's in Revelations." Kavanaugh is like "Dude... what? Ok sure...." then belch and grab someone's butt.
  10. "It's relevant that I was impeached, therefore I shouldn't be prosecuted" "What about the argument for no conviction during impeachment because prosecution was always there as a possibility?" "Impeachment is not relevant"
  11. I checked their award summary on IMDb and it’s mostly designated as comedy but a handful of events call it a comedy. The Emmys called it comedy.
  12. I thought about it last night and concluded that if there’s no murder or sex scenes, not just references, and it has some funny bits, then it can qualify. Does the GG decide these things or is it submitted by the show? Something to look up.
  13. Rush Limaugh was not dead in 2016. He's dead now. Has anybody really filled that gap? Not to mention Tucker at night on Fox. I envision apathetic people who just out of habit had Rush on the radio while riding around. He went away. They now listen to something or somebody else who isn't as much of a nutjob. Maybe they found music or a religious show or something. Same at night. Tucker was just always on. Now he's gone so they switched to something else.
  14. Ha ha.... I got my latest covid booster on Friday, if you care. I can't remember if that's my 4th or 5th shot. Definitely remember getting the initial 2, then I got another one at Walgreen's like a year ago. I think there was another one in there. Need to dig out my vaccination card. Remember those???
  15. I think there's validity to that. How much the pollsters adjust for that, who knows. Most people are busy living their lives and not thinking about this. We are unique in that we discuss this online. I'd say 99% of the voting population do not do that. We have so much to consume now in the way of entertainment that it overshadows our news gathering.
  16. I thought he was going to be very good..... he looked powerful.
  17. “Someone else” did it.
  18. She was only trying to kill members or congress…. Not sell some loose cigs.
  19. “It’s Gods will”. that’s their logic. They will invent some legal pretzel logic to fit the agenda but the core mission is based on that. Women to them serve one purpose, to birth children. If they can’t do that effectively then like Nazis they figure they are broken people and their lives are not worth saving or supporting.
  20. “It reached up to 21 In May of 1970….”
  21. Can I ask… what the **** are you talking about and what is your point? what does blackface and old Karl Malone jokes have to do with this? Because he made jokes that have now aged poorly in hindsight then people can call him a pedophile today ? That makes no sense. Megyn Kelly? Are we just randomly throwing out peoples names now?
  22. I've had family members ask me that too. They "heard" there's certain sections cops won't go in. I told them to stick a shawarma up their ass
  23. it's always fascinating when people want to find the line to when it's ok to be a jerk or not. "This guy is a thief" "Hey, don't say that about him. That's not cool" "Why not? He once made fun of somebody for thinking the earth was flat." "Yeah but that's not the same thing as accusing someone of a crime" "Yeah but his friends made a joke about stealing something, same thing, right?"
  24. I guess I just think pedophilia is a very bad thing and you think it's no big deal. My mistake.
