  1. “Was it barking?” ”your hair was in the toilet water… disgusting”
  2. During filming it wasn’t working and Mull suggested “220/221”. Then Keaton added rne “whatever it takes” Just today I thought of this movie. I took the day off to get a bunch of little things done around the house. Power Wash the siding on the garage, check some gutters down spouts to make sure pine needles didn’t sneak thru the guards, do some caulking, burn some limbs, take down a garden fence, hang some shelving we took down after having painting done…. Trying to decide when I can have a beer or scotch.
  3. Those teams, I believe, were overrated. The fact they didn’t win it all from 2011-2014 as some travesty is overblown. They were playoff caliber yea but they never even had home field advantage in any series. In 2012 they almost didn’t make the playoffs. Check the standings the final week. It was a lot of fun and a great run and I think 2013 was the year they could have but… oh well. I’m going to be grateful for the good tome
  4. Yep. I will say when my wife did one of her Marathons in Indianapolis I was surprised what a nice town it was. I’m going back this summer for a concert.
  5. So is socialism good or bad? I wish the ‘publican folks could make up their mind.
  6. It’s a red state though.
  7. I think it’s odd to witness the last 2 seasons of streaks, by the Tigers and other teams, and think the season is over.
  8. I saw a meme of a woman in pain that said “when her safe was was flower but she keeps saying flour”
  9. There were also rumors he got it from jumping from a window or fence when a woman's husband/boyfriend got home. But without the injury he probably would have flamed out.
  10. Fidrych is among my earliest memories. I was born in 73 so obviously I doubt i remember 1976.... but I do remember going to Tiger Stadium to see him pitch, that may have been my first game. What i remember most is we left an umbrella behind.
  11. I don't think he would. I live in a city that's now largely run by Arabs and Muslims. He doesn't worry me at all and I don't care if he wins. I'll most likely vote for him unless something crazy comes out. My concern is mostly about his supporters bailing if Stevens wins the nomination. Progressives and Muslims are very tribal and they take rejection personally and would rather let a Republican win than vote for someone that ousted their preferred candidate.
  12. an oldie but goodie... people who smoke near doors. Went to the dealership this morning to get bagels, there's an awesome bagel cafe inside, and right outside the door, on a courtesy bench they have for people waiting for rides, a lady is smoking. I can still smell and taste it. Just ****ing rude.
  13. today is the 41st anniversary of the day Ferris Beuller skipped school. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN198506050.shtml This is the boxscore.
  14. What will they do when he's not the nominee?
  15. imagine having to defend that.
  16. He’s pulling a Grant Hill on us. Screw him. Get a Ben Wallace and win a cup in 3years and let him limp his way to the end.
  17. I really do not understand the point of the He Man movie. I watched it every day as a kid when it was on, like 83-84. I had the action figures. I had skeletor's castle. I'm 52. I'm the target demographic. But nobody asked for this. It wasn't a cartoon based on other sources, like comics. It was created specifically to sell toys. It had a small shelf life. My kids have no idea who it is. It has no cultural relevance.
  18. The simple 2 facts that every team needs a rep and fan voting means that AS game selections rank very low on how to evaluate a player's career. A popular guy gets voted in and some crappy reliever gets picked from the worst team over a deserving fellow. All Star games were fun when we didn't have interleague play and baseball wasn't on TV every day. We knew on a summer Tuesday night we could watch a game and see Fernando pitch to George Brett.... and that was the few times a fan of an AL team could see him pitch at all on their TV.
  19. So he “heard”. Sounds like “many people are saying”. Cody is mad they didn’t do what he thought they should so he has to make **** up. He’s a tough negotiator. That’s bad?
  20. I’ve seen others say it but I suspect it’s just some loud mouths who came up with the theory and it gets accepted. And like has been said here… “is that bad?” Is it just the words of some disgruntled GM or former GM who didn’t get his way?
  21. What’s the source for saying Harris is “difficult” to deal with?
  22. Driving today my wife was on her phone and started to tell me about something regarding Dr Oz and I just shut it down. I’m tired of reading about all of them.
  23. I can’t imagine having to defend this. Republicans are not normal.
  24. You can’t do solar in space. Haven’t you seen pictures? It’s dark.
