I got into them after seeing them in the movie ‘Rollercoaster’ with Timothy Bottoms, George Segal, and a very young Helen Hunt. 10 year old me thought they were goofy and fun.

Not Hard Rock, but I left a review of a veggie burger at a restaurant (on a card, no Yelp), saying that is what Soylent Green must have tasted like minus the people.  They actually called me to come in twice and asked me to try different variations until they settled on a winner.  I was impressed.

I’m still dubious when I hear stories of him being ‘nice’ since he was such a phenomenal tool back then.

It was dead. From the dugout you could hear people having conversations in the left field seats. The only game that sold out was Hideo Nomo’s first game at Candlestick.

Last year, I double-gasketed my oil filter. I’ve changed my own oil my entire adult life and just got complacent, having never had it happen. It only cost me the about 30$ in oil and another filter, but it made one hell of a mess.

In 1995, I worked for the SF Giants and many players and staff were invited to the grand opening of the SF location. We were encouraged to drive to the front for photos on the red carpet and I was accompanied by a couple of rookies who didn’t have a car.

In this case, the detour around it is measured in just minutes.  It’s like a block or two max away.

I could see it as swirls in ice cream, but while I like all those flavors, a melange of them doesn’t appeal to me.  That being said, it’s the only thing on that menu that I would bother to try for at least trying to be different.

I was thinking Richards until you said Warburton.  Levar Burton seems like he would be the frontrunner, but haven’t seen him yet.  Of the ones so far, Richards seemed like a natural and Rodgers seemed to have the most potential (for me) and just needed to dial it up a smidge and lighten up a tad.  Oz and Balik were…

He’ll be cryin’ himself to sleep on his huge pilla!

Did we ever get any Dortmunder besides ‘The Hot Rock’?  That’s one of my favorite heist movies, even though the book has several more heists of the diamond than the movie did.

Whenever I want to move everything that is piled on and around our Blu-ray player, I’ll pop in Master and Commander and crank the sound. My favorite Blu-ray movies are this, Dark Knight, Speed Racer (I know, but it looks and sounds awesome), Casino Royale, Return of the King, Kill Bill, Mad Max Fury Road, and the…

Pedant here, but card counting is not cheating or illegal.  It is an advantage to the player, if they can master it, but not illegal.  Since a casino is a private business, they can and do forbid it and can kick you out at their discretion.

I’m in St. Louis and have been to the original and heard about how poorly run the KC location was. I am not hopeful that my redstate brethren will understand and respect the concept. Texting, phone calls, late arrivals, and other distractions are hallmarks of the state and folks will lose their fucking minds when you…

QP2 was solid, if short, but it was nice to be in a theater again. We hadn’t been since Tenet and our theater is still at 50%, but still nice to be back.

Our friends just had their roof done and the quote was 5500 with the caveat that any plywood that needs to be replaced would be done at 70+ dollars a sheet.  That ended up costing them almost 4k more because their old roofing was shit.  As we’ve gradually replaced the old flooring in our house, we’ve replaced the…

They also work under the assumption that libruls aren’t armed and push memes that we are all milquetoasts.  I may be a milquetoast, but I am an adequately armed milquetoast and a good shot.

He was a collegiate swimmer at USC.  He still looks like it.
