I use FB to follow some interests I have… like hobbies. Bands I like. Space history. My running comminity friends. And to keep in touch with some family and friends. I quit mentioning politics. Nobody cares. It only feeds the beast. I might comment on someone else’s stuff, in agreement. But I am pretty much done arguing. You won’t change anyone’s mind. I was put on some type of restriction on FB for quoting a line from the untouchables. It was a movie group. The topic was the untouchables. People were quoting it. I quoted Andy Garcia when he called Connery a “stinking Irish pig”

I'm a little slow... it took me a minute and I watched one of the videos in the replies to understand. Didn't realize the ethics at play. That's on the dealer?

Cheers was near the bottom in the ratings it’s first year and in danger of cancelling but someone, not sure if it was Tartikoff or someone else was smart enough to recognize the summer rerun ratings were climbing. but yes Taxi might be underrated even. It was one of my favorites.

I think today’s group of BBWAA voters put in both Lou and Tram.

I agree with what he's saying.... totally. I said earlier here that I wouldn't be surprised if every living former POTUS and VPOTUS had some classified docs mixed in with regular papers with no sinister motives. IT's what they do when they find out that matters. I just don't believe in his sincerity. After his shenanigans with Lewinsky impeachment vs. Trump impeachment along with the way he treated the SC appointments with regard to Garland and Barret.... he might be the most blatant hypocrite in Washington.

Lol

that's still and always has been the biggest difference.

The post in the TV thread reminded me of this:

see my post in the comedy sketch thread

hoisted on their own petard. Not sure if that fits at all.... just wanted to say it.

I had the chance last week to attend an event at the Ilitch casino with some Tigers, probably like a scaled back Tigerfest which they quit doing I guess. I didn't go. But I saw photos of some players on a stage wearing the jerseys and it hit home how awful the still new home jerseys are.... the nike loo looks larger now and to me it makes the "hat" version of the Olde English D stand out. Just looked cheap.

"We're getting information given to us in a much better way now. It's broken down into how we think and talk."

Not a sketch but a sitcom. It came across my feed last night and I was giggling and laughing so hard.... I loved this show.

We finally got to The Last of Us. Really liked it. Never knew of the game it’s based on so that’s not a requirement. I suspect you might appreciate some things if aware. It’s like an intelligent Walking Dead. Exceeded my expectations.

Larroquette should have been the judge. That guy is great. Awesome on the west wing.

Pink Floyd is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon with a new box set. Their facebook page had a banner based on the album cover. Homophobes are upset about it. Because it.... because it has...... because it has a...... rainbow on it. Yes. https://loudwire.com/people-mad-pink-floyd-new-dark-side-of-the-moon-anniversary-logo-rainbow/?fbclid=IwAR2_c0rdtSQz50E3bC4X1Ik1PeFv4cSH_t_yBWuBXY3zbXnAzosMV005NS4

Couldn't the shading be accomplished simply by extending the roof line of the upper level? It wouldnt eradicate it but would provide more relief.

I looked at Crosby's body of work and outside of Tangerine Man I wouldn't recognize any of them. I thought Southern Man but that's Young. I just never really got exposed to it I guess. They didn't play that on WRIF or WLLZ back in the day

Yeah. I mean if you live in a blue county then you support cat litter boxes in schools right?

Yep. I knew all along if it were a "conservative" it wouldn't get out. If it were a liberal Ted Cruz would be on Fox immediately. They got quiet really really fast at some point when this first got out.

Well that just means he was in on the conspiracy

When we got married one of my best friends was a female. for our shower she got me a humidor and some cigars, along with a cutter. I think outside of our regular dishes it's the only thing remaining from our gifts that day, even if it's sitting in my furnace/work room untouched since about 2002.

I got the sense that McHale's job was to get the stadium built and to act as the liaison with the league because Ilitch was still sort of an outsider. McHale's got a family history in the game. I've said before that the strategy in the mid 90's wasn't flawed. You had McHale, Smith, and Buddy Bell all as legacy people running the team. Not a bad way to go. I wonder how things might have gone had they not built such a silly ballpark to begin with and never made the Juan G trade. There was also the issue of payroll issues. Rumors were the team had to get a loan from the league.

Weird you mention Dallas because her husband or ex husband Jim Lites left the org and went on to the Dallas Stars. He was instrumental in getting the Russians here for the Red Wings. There was a lot of weird things going on with that family.

well so many of them secretly like it as we learn over the decades...
