Wow. That's terrifying. Do fire trucks ever actually make it to the scene in New York? Seems like an impossibility with that traffic. not sure how but yeah. it doesn't help that NY drivers are ridiculously stupid and selfish though Oddly, this is one of the few things L.A. drivers do well. When a f...

Has anyone ever tried to get in on the lottery for Pappy Van Winkle bourbon?

Colossal TV Show thread
Archer - Probably my least favorite season so far, but still my favorite comedy right now. I think the comedy is back on par with where the show was in seasons 1-3. But the overall writing has gotten sort of lazy. Not a fan of how often they are going to the Lana-in-lingerie well; it's weird watchi...

Dean Smith Included Every Player He Coached At UNC In His Will
That's pretty excellent.Before he died, he arranged for each of the players he had coached to get a $200 check in the mail, along with the message, "Enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith":

Who Are You?
I don't think he makes much from LGP at all. I don't know how the ad revenue works but it can't exactly be a cash cow. That is what I'm kind of hoping. I don't want to hurt the guys lively hood. I think he said one time that he just about made enough in ad revenue to pay hosting and domain fees and...

Who Are You?
I feel bad. He is a good guy. But when you are the owner and one of your management team messes up, you get some of the heat. Yeah, like I said, the only thing that I'm really bummed about is that he may actually be losing money in all this. He has maintained LGP through thick and thin in his perso...

You're the drummer..... you are supposed to be the click track. If the producer/engineer guy is insisting on that, fire him immediately.

GermanWings Flight 9525 Air Crash in France
Never understood why you would hijack a train. That's like the easiest thing in the world to stop; it's literally on rails and can only go one of two ways.

GermanWings Flight 9525 Air Crash in France
My understanding of the 'remote control' option was that it would have been exceedingly difficult to hack (it involved all sorts of satellite links and could be manually overridden in the aircraft), but Boeing proactively disabled the functionality to preempt security paranoia.

Toews comes closest from that list......... but I still put him several notches below Sid and Geno. He's like a modern day Ron Francis.

That's BS.... the German for fox is 'fuchs'. And I don't think when it's spelled as the f-word that the proper Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation would be 'foo-key'. It would just be f**k, but with images of Adriana Lima dancing about in your head.

Outside of the financial duress of the franchise, you simply don't trade players like Sid or Geno. They are generational talents, and you build the team around them, not sending them somewhere else and making do with what you get in return. That said, I'm not convinced Sid's head is right, and Geno ...

I don't know why, but this sentence made me giggle. An agrarian social conservative is, in my mind, something of a rainbow colored unicorn; a very rare creature, indeed.Still generally what someone would call a "social conservative" personally, but with an Agrarian mindset.

Has anyone heard about Belichick's rant at the meetings this week? Basically tearing into the NFL for spending endless millions of dollars on sending the Pro Bowl abroad, etc, but refusing to install some extra cameras near the end zone to allow for more accurate replay challenges. The guy can be a...
NFL
so, uh, am I the only more confused about the new "catch rules"? The rule now states that a receiver must establish himself as a runner rather than just make a football move. Establishing one's self as a runner is entirely vague. What is a runner? Isn't someone who's diving to the ground not a runn...
