DFA Falter. Ridiculous to start him after his performance this spring and last season.

My favorite performance of his was on the Rockford Files.

He called Jim "Rockfish."

If it makes you feel better MIMH, I used to get **** for being skinny. I was 6'1", 150 at 18 and heard it all the time. It was annoying.

Lots of tall people here. I'm 6'1" and notice anyone taller than me more so than someone shorter than me. My ex was 5'2" and my son is 5'7", daughter A is 5'3" and daughter B is, I think, 6'0" (I'm afraid to ask anymore as she doesn't like being tall).

Cars & Bikes, Driving & Riding

The first car I ever purchased was a 5-speed, and I learned how to drive stick on the way home - from Lancaster to Philly. I enjoyed it for a while, but it got old sitting in traffic, and now I just don't want to deal with it. I don't care that others enjoy it - awesome. Faf's annoyance on the topi...

MWB has the right take. I enjoy manuals as long as I’m not sitting in traffic every day. If you have one long enough, there’s no thought to the process, it becomes second nature.

Also, if you never learned to drive a manual then you don't have any experience to form an opinion between the two. I grew up on a farm driving the farm truck around… of course I can drive a stick… but times change and I don’t want to drive one now. You associate it with unfun work. I get it.

I don't hate cassette or CD players, I personally just don't want one in my car. Give me Bluetooth and Apple Car Play.
See I don't see the manual transmission as technological improvement. More like Betamax --> VHS.

Ah yeah. Lascheid was the best. I miss the live playing, though. The recordings are good but there's no soul to it. Next person to fill out the survey, request a live organist please.
It seems to come and go or maybe I only notice it sometimes. In a recent game, I heard a number of his numbers.
