I like the old black-and-white movies where the horror is not gore, but more atmospheric. Examples:
Nosferatu (Germany 1922, silent)
Vampyr (Denmark/Germany/France 1932)
In color, but still very atmospheric:
Rosemary's Baby (US 1968)
Man versus nature, and very disturbing:
Long Weekend (Australia 1978)

They have worked their will on John Barleycorn
But he lived to tell the tale,
For they pour him out of an old brown jug
And they call him home brewed ale. -
I had just the opposite experience. To get a new bone-strengthening drug from my oncologist, I needed a dentist's clearance. My regular dentist found two abscessed teeth which surprised me a bit as I was not in any pain, but it was clearly visible on the x-rays. He first wanted to pull both teeth, but then referred me to an endodontist and got me an appointment two work days later. The endodontist told me that one of the teeth (an incisor) was salvageable, but he was not sure about the other one (a molar). If I would have 2 hours time, he could do the root canal on the incisor immediately. It was a full success, and I did not experience any pain even after the anesthesia wore off. He also had a second look at the molar and said it might be possible to do also a root canal here. The operation is scheduled for next week.

Crazy how the Steelers do this every year
Do what? Reaching the postseason? That was 4 times in the last 7 seasons, always losing in the first round.

I don’t believe for a second that it wasn’t a concussion. It most definitely was. It likely was minor enough that he was able to hide the symptoms.
Oh, I see, another neurologist gracing us with his presence on this message board.

Maybe Allen pointed to his chest to distract from the concussion?
If he can think this rationally, I do not think he has much of a concussion.

It was pretty clear that when his head hit the ground on the sack he got a concussion.
It's the NFLs concussion protocol a joke ?
Clear to whom? Are you by any chance a neurologist? Hitting the ground with your head does not automatically cause a concussion. Compare the reactions of Tua and Josh and you will see the difference.

Brisket. But it has to be the "moist" (a euphemism for "fatty") variety.

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
Aw, that's what's happenin', baby
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves
Aw, but they're cool, too
Well, I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
Oh, you're the number one place -

Here in West Texas the grocery stores have employees (mostly kids or retirees) that will push your cart (here called a "basket") to your car, load your groceries and take the cart back. On my first visit from Rochester to Lubbock I was of course not familiar with this arrangement, and I started to fight with the basket kid for my grocery cart. I "won" and was able to get the cart myself to my car, and unloaded the groceries. However, the kid had followed me and offered to take the cart back to the store. I accepted.

Run to me mother of anyone's child
And tell me the revelry planned
Judges and barristers, clerks at the law
His show is the best in the land
Here's a toast to the Jolly Hangman
He'll hang you the best that he can
Here's a toast to the JollyRise for the hangman
His pleasure is that you should rise
He's the judge and the jury
At the jester's assize -
I kept my mouth shut for too long
All this time, you got me wrong
Now we're in this way too far
I'm about to break your heart
Tear everything we had apart
'Cause I'm feeling lost
When I'm in your arms
The reasons are gone
For why I was holding on to you
I tried so hard
To be the one (Be the one)
I don't like who I've become -

In the shade, in the shade

I know you're a cannonballI'll be your whatever you want

Mayflower child met a 25th century quaker
She's a pickin' poppies
Bringing them into her hue
Sun siftin' through and through and through
Letting them in all you through
Me into you
Me to you

Bases blue cheese faces

Together we stand, divided we fall
Come on now, people
Get on the ball, let's work together
Come on, come on let's work together, now people
You know together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and a manWell, right things go wrong, they sometimes will
And the road you travel goes uphill
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together now people
You know together we will stand

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time
There's no simple
Explanation
For anything important
Any of us do
And, yeah, the human
Tragedy
Consists in
The necessity
Of living with
The consequences

Well I put down my bush
'N I took off my pants 'n felt free
The breeze blowin' up me 'n up the canyon
Far as I could seeIt's night now and the moon looks like uh dandelion
It's black now 'n the blackbirds feedin' on rice
'N his red wings look like diamonds 'n lice -
I never had a chance to choose my own name
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his weekend rides
All day long, I felt like
Smashing my neck in a clear glass window
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a station wagon 'round the block -
A squid eating dough in a Polyethylene bag
Is fast and bulbous, got me?
When she wears her bolero then she begin to dance
All the pachucos start witholdin' hands
When she drives her Chevy, sissies don't dare to glance
Yellow jackets 'n red debbles buzzin' round her hair, hive-ho
She wears her past like a present
Take her fancy in the past
Her sedan skims along the floorboard
Her two pipes hummin' carbon come
Got her wheel out of a B-29 Bomber, Brody knob amber
Spanish fringe 'n talcum tazzles forever amber
She looks like an old squaw Indian
She ninety-nine, she won't go down
Avocado green 'n alfalfa yellow adorn her to the ground
Tattoos 'n tarnished utensils, a snow white bag full o' tunes
Drives a cartoon around
Drives a cartoon around
Broma-Seltzer blue umbrella keeps her up off the ground
Round red sombreros wrap her high tap horsey shoes
When she unfolds her umbrella, pachucos got the blues
Her lovin' make me so happy
If I smiled, I'd crack my chin
Her eyes are so peaceful, thinks it's heaven she been
Her skin is as smooth as the daisies
In the center where the sun shines in
Smiles as sweet as honey
Her teeth as clean as the combs where the bees go in
Who she walks flowers surround her
Let their nectar come into the air around her
She loves, her love sticks out like stars
Her lovin' stick out like stars -
I thought I'd make it
The day you went away
But I can't make it
'Til you come home again to stay
Every time I see your face, it reminds me of the places
We used to go
But all I've got is a photograph, and I realise you're not
Comin' back anymore

Most recently I have read "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip Dick. I was aware that the book only covered a small part of the TV series, but I was still a bit disappointed. I very much liked the added story lines of the TV program.

Unfortunately the media did not rank him in the top-10 NFL coaches. Really sad. It all comes down to winning the big one.
Winning percentage is a measurable quantity, media ranking is completely subjective.
