  1. Wonder if he brought Woody a bottle of red wine to the interview
  2. He must be serious about this, first time I've seen him pictured in anything but a hoodie and shorts.
  3. Add quercetin to the zinc, hammer and nail analogy. Zinc is the nail, it does a way better job of getting in to your cells if you take quercetin with it. Other than that what grandma told you, vitamin C and chicken soup. Get well soon.
  4. Reminds me of a girl I met in a bar a few weeks ago. Late 20's I'm guessing, I'm late 60's. For some reason she sat next to me and started talking, think she was trying to ditch some other guy. We seemed to hit it off for a while, at some point she could tell I might want a little more than conversation so she told me she really enjoyed my company but she wasn't going to sleep with me. Told her I'm pretty well off, getting on in years, and I would give her $100,000 to spend the night with me. She thought about it for a minute and decided to do it. As we got up to leave I told her I changed my mind and I'd only give her $1. She seemed outraged, slapped my face saying what kind of girl do you think I am? I said we've already established that, no we're negotiating.
  5. Make this trade in a second, less than Bennett 1988 1st 1989 1st 1989 2nd Greg Bell (All of which ended up with the Rams along with Colts' 1988 1st and 2nd round and 1989 2nd round picks and Owen Gill.)
  6. Saw the title and must have flashed back to the pre-Josh days for a minute, thought this was going to be an early thread about the draft!
  7. Yup, wouldn't change a thing
  8. Really like that you can see the approaching lightning. I'll give it to 20 miles, maybe 15 if it's slow moving, to change direction then start walking off. Once it hits 10 I'm doing my version of running. As you probably know if you hear thunder the lightning is within 10 miles, which is the distance it can strike from. Don't put much faith in lightning shelters unless they're enclosed. My one goal in golf is for there never to be a Steve O memorial lightning shelter.
  9. Definitely the best for lightning. At my golf club people literally look for me when bad weather approaches, I'm always the first one off the course. I tell folks if I'm walking off you can probably get a few more holes in, might even miss us all together and get your whole round in. If you see me running, keep up.
  10. Can't saying this get you fired at Cornell? Ah, "senior" professor, probably has tenure so he's safe
  11. If there was a "B" move academy awards Beer League would be a multiple winner. As mentioned in other threads, whenever some guy orders a beer that is best served with or has the name of a fruit in it, or a white claw or similar "girlie" drink, I use the waitresses last line.
  12. Great idea, fixed now.
  13. re I believe that sanctuary cities do not increase crime. - cities don't increase crime, their policies allow for the increase in crime rates. re I believe that illegal immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native born citizens. - To use your term, "Illegal immigrants" have committed a crime by being here. Their crime rate starts at 100%. Any additional crimes committed by illegal immigrants (again, to use your term, I prefer foreign invader) are crimes that would never have happened had sanctuary cities enforced federal laws. re I believe these things because they are supported by data and studies. - These data and studies are selective as to which crimes they choose to include. Again, they choose to exclude immigration law. re Therefore, I believe that people whose arguments that sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants increase crime rates are either ignorant or lying. - Actually, and again, people who argue in favor of sanctuary cities are the ignorant and lying, and selective as to what laws they choose to include in their argument.
  14. The term actually originated during the Ford administration, developed by some economist. Adding the inflation rate to the unemployment rate. Carter ran with it and made it a campaign issue in 76. (Sadly I remember.) The misery index under Ford was over 19% in early 75, but dropped to around 15% as the election neared. Still high enough for Carter to win a somewhat close race. As karma would have it, the misery index never got better under Carter, swelling to 22% and a landslide Reagan victory in 1980.
  15. Ask the parents of anyone with a late September/early October birthday.
  16. Have to agree with this one, somehow I think if 8 out of 10 kids in Dr. Naismith's YMCA camp could have dunked the ball he would have risen the peach basket another foot. Also agree with the palming and traveling rules being enforced. I remember 20ish (probably more) years ago ESPN had this vote for play of the week segment. One of the candidates was a guy being double or triple teamed, takes 3 steps around his pivot foot, then pivots on the other foot, and jumps up off both feet for a dunk. I'm thinking this is a play of the week candidate and it was a blatant travel. Stopped watching around that time.
  17. Well, I woke up one morning a year or so ago, was 67 at the time. Suddenly realized that not even the O's live to 134 and that I have more yesterdays than tomorrows (both my parents lived well past 100, good lord willing my Aunt turns 100 next month.) At the time I usually spent between $14 and $17 a bottle but decided to up my game or leave more than I want behind.
  18. re "Come on Congress! Pass this measure, give Trump the money he needs." - good to see we have common ground re "But no, this will not save the USA money," - Agreed, the disaster created by Biden/Harris border "policy" (can it even be called a policy?) will be expensive to rectify. Better we realize this up front. Always more expensive to fix a problem than prevent it, especially when the fix involves a redo. The fix was well underway when Biden/Harris took over, now it's back to square one. WHAT A MESS they created. re - "...it will hurt the country." - Guess we can't agree on everything. Totally disagree. Since we're deadlocked at 1-1 on this one, we'll let Laken Riley or the yet to be identified women that was burned in the subway by a foreign invader cast the deciding vote. re It does seem like they just hope congress can't pass anything and nothing happens. - Certainly would have been better off if Biden/Harris had done nothing. From A to V (Afghanistan to Venezuela) everything they touched was a disaster.
  19. Agree that it is a good example of hypocrisy. However, it is not a good example of an unqualified pick doing a good job. In my opinion, quite the opposite.
  20. Red wine. I just splurge for the $40 bottle instead of the usual $25 bottle.
  21. Let me help Irv out here. WHAT A MESS.
  22. Why are any tax dollars being used? Shouldn't the company that knocked it down pay for the new one?
  23. Which leads to the bad case scenario, they don't know what the hell is going on. But I guess we knew that from the audits.
