  1. I did a book report in fifth grade and Newfoundland so I had to learn early on.
  2. They just assume everybody else is the same... Think about all the grooming that goes on in the evangelical churches.
  3. for years Ford protected the Model E name. Musk wanted his new one to be Model E, after S and X. Ford told him he can't do that and would be sued if he tried. They did have an agreement for S and X.
  4. He would say it the right way because it's kind of like how they would say Louisville or Nashville.... kind of lazy. They're from a town called Cookeville and they say it 'cuh-vul'. Half a mumble.
  5. everyone bragging about leaving is as interesting as it was when all the Trumpies said they were leaving.... nobody cares.
  6. Was Guitar really his middle name? John Landis felt really bad cutting off half of Blue Lou in the diner scene. Somehow they screwed up the setup and didn't realize it until after. I can do without the Carrie Fisher scenes.
  7. these young umpires don't call the game the right way.... back in our day....
  8. Whenever I am bored I put on the sequence in Blues Brothers from about the 50 minute mark through the end of Bob's Country Bunker. John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, and Aretha all in a row.
  9. My dad who grew up in TN and would never have had a reason to say Montreal in his life would say it like they would on CBC... "mun-tri-aw" instead of the midwestern 'Mon-Tre-All" He picked up on that when he became a hockey fan in the 60s and 70's. He'd pull out the small black and white TV every Saturday and put it next to our regular one so we could watch both the Wings and HNIC.
  10. for some reason that made me think of this great scene.
  11. I didn't think that particular pitch was bad but it's Angel so it's a build up. Like Laimbeer's "foul" on Kareem in 1988.
  12. agree..... and I think this news is a month old.
  13. well like the first one was no charge so we thought the rest were... on the house.
  14. I just think of Don Cherry… “tronno”.
  15. There is a movement back to tradition. The Pokémon generation ran out of things to look for and accepted that the next best thing isn’t much better.
  16. What about Hillary’s plan wasn’t comprehensive? You aren’t saying it’s a good idea by using that word. It’s not bias. The GOP has no governing policies except culture war topics of the day. Masks. Mandates. Gays. Woke. That’s it.
  17. I was assuming Chris but Nicole would be fine too.
  18. People in front of me missed it by 4 minutes because they were…. waiting in line for food. Really? and if you think the crowd looks smaller than you would expect know that the concourses are as crowded as they were in the playoffs. Opening Day was never as bad because a lot of people were outside. That’s what it’s like today.
  19. Looks like we have ourselves a natural disaster
  20. Picked up a single at 11 today. Decided it was too soggy for yard work.
  21. I edited your post to fix my spelling mistake. the only policy I can think of by this GOP in 6 years is the border.
  22. I believe that one party has as a stated goal a sincere goal to help people who need help and the other party is all about personal enrichment and power. If you disagree, fine. I will let the facts speak for themselves based on the behavior we have seen the last 20 years. the only republicans with honor are ostracized from the national party.
