Having previously lived the tennis life (12-ish years culminating in 6 days per week and 3 hours per day of practice), I applaud your choice of equipment. The reach advantage alone is worth the investment.

All you really need to play tennis is a friend.

Bravo. Exceedingly well done.

Let’s see all the ways I (barely) have a connection to this:

I work spitting distance to the Sears Centre (at Sears corporate).
If they don’t sell enough tickets, I’ll likely get some for free at work.
CM Punk and I go to the same dentist.
My dentist went to high school with both Punk and Colt Cabana.
Colt wrote a kids…

Tucumcari NM
December 1995, road trip from Chicago to Pasadena (Woo! Northwestern Rose Bowl.)

Stopped at the Flying J for gas.
Looked up.
Saw a sign: “Gas skips will be PERSECUTED”.
Not prosecuted, persecuted.
Of the five of us traveling, two were Jewish and one was black.

We got the hell out of Dodge.

I’ll keep it simple: gimme gimme gimme.

Re: charging at the bar, my local watering hole (imminently walkable from my house ... Not that I’ve ever needed to crawl home) just redid the bar and furniture. At the bar seating, they now have outlets for patrons. They might actually be those ones with dedicated USB ports, too.

Two of my local German car dealers offer APR tuners in house as well as a few aftermarket suspension goodies. I know it’s not the same as a factory-ordered upgrade, but it’s close.

As far as 3rd party add-ons and warranties, the burden of proof is on the dealer (servicer) to show that the non-stock item is either what…

That’s literally the only thing I could think of. Well done.

(Also the only truly decent scene in the entire movie.)

Ann Ramsey died 1988.
Belichick took the head coaching job at Cleveland in 1991.
In the interim? Sex change.

Isn’t this Selfless (pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds and post-everything Ben Kingsley)? Rich guy pops his brain into some other schmuck so he can live forever, then it becomes a murder mystery (who killed the “other schmuck”)? Or Ghost in the Shell (swap brains into synthesized bodies - but those are androids and these are…

Dammit ...came here to post the link and you beat me to it (only by the narrowest of marginal hours). Yeah, it’s proprietary to Motion Impossible - they build a handful of different remote dollies.

Nah. It ends up looking like the 12V-powered kids version of the grown up car.

If you’re going to do that, why not do something that would make sense (given the starting point)? Something like a Sunbeam Tiger?

Miata weight is like 2200 lb. Tiger is like 2600 lb ...but you get to drop in a Ford 289 instead of the…

Why are we not making the 30 for 30 “This Was the XFL” required viewing? (Yeah, I get it - not your parent company.) Seriously - it’s worth watching to see how goddamned stupid it was the first time around. There’s really nothing they could do this time that will make it any better.

The best of the best (of the best,…

Everyone in the black community knows that there are three people who can dismantle your soul and crush your spirit using nothing but words: the oldest barber at any barbershop, a black mother whose child forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer and—worst of all—a black Baptist preacher.

I almost always have my phone charged. My wife almost never charges her phone. Invariably we are out somewhere, and she will ask to borrow my phone because hers is dead.

What time and where is the Silverado unveiling? I thought it was scheduled for Saturday ...

This is not what I needed to see. I’m doing the Polar Run rally (northern MN to maybe northern-er WI) in early Feb in a car with too much power, not enough ground clearance, and aging “all-season” tires.

Whee!

More importantly ...are you guys going to try out the Mayhem Hall Pub?
