For you creative/design types of people, where do you go to find accessories and artwork for a space? We're going to go shopping on Friday to try and find things for our new basement, but I wanted to see where people might suggest going. We're likely going to end up looking at Homegoods and some of...

Blyleven is the equivalent to Wooger in the box. He's a rambler, talking to you like you're hanging out with him in your living room. I like the style.

My Mom still uses some of those. Keith won't be the only one left - I'm convinced Ozzy will outlive him somehow. Maybe? Ozzy's already shambling around like a zombie, so, he may already BE undead? That’s entirely possible We should probably start to think about the world we leave for Keith Richards...

The Little Things (HBO Max): Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe Deacon is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a serial killer who is terrorizing the city. Denzel plays a grizzled veteran of (insert occupatio...

ALL the previous pics were in my household growing up, and you can add the brown/orange/yellow shag carpet and wood paneling in the basement. Related, I suppose, I got a Nielsen Ratings Survey in the mail. $10 if I filled it out and mailed it back. Lessee, I listen to public radio 8+ hours a day (at...

Blood Father (Netflix streaming): An ex-con reunites with his estranged wayward 17-year old daughter to protect her from drug dealers who are trying to kill her. Mel Gibson stars. It's a Kurt Sutter (Sons Of Anarchy) wet dream, IMO, although that is an asset. ;) Borrows a little from "Get The Gringo...

Youtube wormhole.
Hate the laugh track. Not a huge fan of Waits, but he does have some gems:

Popped up on my "suggested" list when going down the Youtube wormhole. One thing: Roger Watkins? Uh.....

A couple friends and I pooled some funds together, and put a bid in on a Bottle Logic 12 bottle (bomber) package, auction style. We figured out our max, etc. Right now, we have the only bid at $300. The dude is basically clearing a LOT out of his cellar. Just put up a couple more similar auctions to...

I Care a Lot. No idea why this seems to be the sleeper hit of late. I thought the editing was clunky, and I didn't buy Rosamund Pike nor really even Peter Dinklage's characters, although to their credit they both did ok with the given material. As a time killer I'll half-heartedly recommend, but do...

Happy 41st Anniversary, Miracle.

That's been like that for years, IIRC. The "west" is a more "let them play" whereas the "East" calls a tighter game.

Stopped at LTD today, per my usual routine. Had their Nitro Terror (double choc milk stout) layered on their Light Ale, so it was basically a black and tan. The combo worked. The ale added a crispness/clean finish to the heaviness of the stout. The beertender, "S" (don't want to reveal the real life...

Let Him Go (Netflix disc): A retired sheriff and his wife, grieving over the death of their son, set out to find their only grandson. Kevin Costner (blech) and Diane Lane (yay) star as the grandparents. I couldn't finish the movie. It was basically a Lifetime movie with bigger names attached to it. ...

I Care A Lot (Netflix). A woman acts as a legal guardian for unknowing seniors and bilks them of all their belongings. She pulls her scam on the wrong person and things happen. We really liked this movie. Rosamund Pike stars with Dianne Wiest and Peter Dinklage. I highly recommend. https://media4.g...

I just saw something.....what could it be? Oh yeah. THE GLORY.

ND wins in a shootout. St. Cyr fell and still made the third save.

Doesn't matter. It's a tie in the books, which DOES matter, since B1G is going with winning % for the tourney.

ND-WI game has gone ludicrous. Currently 5-4 ND.

Couldn't ask for a better start. Are we peaking at exactly the right time?

Similar to last season.....

Cracked a 2020 Collective Arts Imperial Porter for the game.....and it had turned.

Guessing the store I bought it from didn't store it correctly or something. $20 (literally) drainpoured.

So, cracked an Off Color BA Belgian Quad (aged in Willett Rye). Delicious.

When did Rube move to Mongolia? Hey, it was only 7 people in my ride! For those that don't know, had to fit that many in my 2 door Jeep Wrangler (w/back seat in, otherwise it would have been easier), travelling from the Xcel to my place near Ridgedale. tDarkness (USCHO poster, who's 6'5") and me in...

RIP Markie Dee, the whitest of the Fat Boys.

Chat will be going tonight, as usual.

Honestly, I think it surpasses it. Vikes have moved on, Mets haven't.

Hearing Browns now for JJ.

The Wentz thing sort of surprised me, but not by a lot. I think the Bears just dicked around too long, and the Iggles got impatient.

Finished 30 coins (S1). Dunno if there will be a 2nd season, it sure is open season for it. Beyond WTF, but I ended up really liking it. It has elements from a LOT of previous stuff (IT, Exorcist, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Mist, even Machete). They make it work, though. It's definitely out there, so ...

I was thinking "Hurry up, Rube might be answering these too!" as I was replying.

IF I would have logged onto here as the first site I visit in the morning, I might have had a better chance. Oh well.

Padres sign Fernando Tatis to a 14-year deal. To put that in perspective, by the time his contract ends, there will only be one year left on Bobby Bonilla's contract with the Mets. I thought you were kidding. I looked it up and you're not. Holy crap. Bonilla hasn't played since 2001 and will get pa...

Yep. The trouble is, I don't mind snow. I hate the past two weeks' temps.

The Fall. A series from about 5-7 years ago from BBC starring Gillian Anderson as a London top cop asked to aid an investigation in Belfast. As is often with BBC series its a far superior show on several aspects than 99% of network shows in the US and would fit right in next to The Night Of from HB...

Thanks to Chuck D's tweeter:

That is definitely not a "star" performance. I'd guess "star" means lead or a main supporting actor.

How about just take the top 16 teams from the last poll before regionals?! :mrgreen: Mix in the auto-bids, and that's actually a much better idea than relying on PairWise this year. Normally, I'd hate it, but, the problem with PairWise is that it REQUIRES a large number of inter-conference games ac...

I really like it, however, these are similar thoughts that are going through my head (hidden, because NSFW, language):

As of 4-5 years ago, the whole ATL metro area had a total of 8 plows. Also, as mentioned earlier with insulation, do homes that far south even come with thermostats that can generate that much heat?

I may be wrong but I don't see JJ Watt giving anyone a discount. Depends on what your definition of a discount is if he’s on the decline and injury prone. He may have to to sign with a contender. From all accounts, he knows the score, and is a stand up guy. Less money for a ring? Given how much he'...

Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years... LL = GOAT rapper.

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back

I agree that the call on the offside was correct, given the rules. I just think it's stupid that the rules allow you to go back and look at something that happened more than a full minute before the goal is scored, that had no actual impact on the play, and have that disallow the goal. Didn't read ...

That was a horrible overturn. From what I heard on radio, it was not conclusive.

Not able to watch today, but being tripled up in shots so far can’t be a good sign. Are they lacking the same intensity as last night?

It's been a yawner for both teams so far, IMO.

Very passive hockey from the sounds of it.

Can't remember if I was actually drinking the 2019 Stagg that night, but it is (for Stagg) a slightly disappointing batch. It's still a really good bourbon, but they've set the bar so high for that particular offering, that occasionally, you're going to get something that isn't up to what you reall...

Unfortunately, to take hits like that out of the game, you'd have to simply ban checking entirely. I'm still not convinced that should have been a penalty at all, and to have someone ejected from that, even after review, then have the other team get called for a dangerous hit into the board get rev...

Not Beer, but I know many here are bourbon fans....

Neither of those hits are penalties. I believe they can call "incidental" which was discussed on both hits. "Intentional" is a little different, if I understand the rules correctly. Incidental or intentional what? Incidental hit to the head: shoulder to shoulder hit, and the hitter's shoulder slips...

1. Shoulder to shoulder. Size mattered in that one. Simple whiplash.
2. OBVIOUS hit to head. Intentional? I don't think so. But it happened.

Rumor is GB, possibly. But yes, contender. Frankly, he's not worth the 17MM or whatever right now. I'd be amazed if he can walk pain-free in 10-15 years. HOF player, IMO, but he paid the price with bodily harm. This may be conservative, but given next year's payroll, toss him 5MM and a serious run a...

Saw this and laughed hysterically:

From all that I've heard, the Nelson may not have been a five, but since it was, the other hit should have been a five, due to the precedent set earlier with Nelson's hit, if that makes sense.

I think the scariest moment I had was going from Plymouth Rd onto 394E, that Ridgedale exit, in my old Jeep. 2 lane ramp, cold weather like this. Hit a patch of ice, started to slide, purposefully over steered to avoid going OFF the ramp, did a 360, hit dry pavement (luckily going the right directio...

2nd goal goes to Ranta.
