Disembodied Spirit

Old people die.

It's been happening since the beginning of time.

WE notice it more because people post news articles constantly, and repost and repost. There is a secret game that is happening where people want to be the 1st to tell 'Their friends'

A sort of sick, 'Hey look at me I knew 1st, na na na na nahh'

Do you really think back in 1993 people would be concerned if Zsa Zsa Gabor and Debbie Reynolds died?

Who would they tell? Their buddy in the cubicle next door?

The fact it is on a news feed, on your phone, seems to make it more important than it is

Ah, I found it by looking at treeduck's post history. http://www.therushfo...her-dead-at-60/

 

I thought I searched all forums, but I guess not. Sorry folks....disregard.

I need to get in on this, next season! I'm leading the pool I'm in with 1,345 points, but have not won a single week. Going through the season here, I would have only tied for a win in two different weeks. Crazy season, especially this past week!

 

I need to get BETTER at this game next season! I stunk up the joint this year......

We ALL are within 100 pts, It's anyone's game come the playoffs

Washington State plays Minnesota today in the Holiday One of the game's stories is whether it will be the last college game that WSU QB Luke Falk plays. Falk is a red-shirt junior this year, but is projected as the third QB to be selected should he choose to enter the NFL draft. So...should he stay or should he go?

 

I say follow the money and leave for the NFL. WSU has had a great year, finishing 4th and making the playoff. At this point, there's really not much more Falk could accomplish as a college quarterback, so why risk injury - and losing all that money - by playing another year for WSU?

 

Agree or disagree?

I have no problem with kids sitting out the bowl games. Meaningless. Look at that kid from Notre Dame last year, Jalen Smith I think was his name...Projected Top 5 pick, knee explodes in the Fiesta Bowl....Dallas takes him in the 2nd round, has not played a down in 2016. Has permanent nerve damage and by all accounts, career is over.

Fournette and McCaffery are doing the right thing. This will never be addressed until a kid, who WON this Heisman, is on a team in the College Football Playoff Ranked #1 and is 13-0 decides.....NA, I'm good

But when you are playing in the Zaxby's Ponzi Scheme Bowl at 11AM on a Tuesday.....Yeah.....sit it out, 1000%

I was hoping for...I've discovered that treeduck is God!

I have to clean my palate...give me the 1982 studio version

What are the parameters of "loyalty"?

I'm probably still going to say 'no' regardless of the definition.

 

If you watch Time Stand Still, that's the kind of loyalty I'm talking about.

Some of the fans in the film are quite disturbing to me. I don't get that level of fandom at all. I have been a fan of Rush nearly 40 years but I'm not going to cry because they retired. The dude in the basement with all the mag clippings and memorabilia needs to get a grip.

I can't wrap my brain around it. The film had too much of that over the top nonsense which is why I have no desire to own the film. I liked the film in a sense but have no desire to view it again.

 

Plenty of Rush fans love the band in a sane and rational way. Its a great band, but its not life and its not a religion.

 

Just this guys point of view...

 

Oh man. I haven't seen it yet, but the wife ordered it for me as a Christmas gift. Your comments, along with others about fans crying, makes me think I'm in for a cringe fest.

 

Well I just finished watching it. Yeah, I don't have a lot in common with some of those fans. I can't believe anyone would cry from watching the movie.

I still haven't seen it but a lot of TRFers admitted to crying.

I saw it and am a lifelong fan. It did not affect me at all. I guess because in my heart I knew before R40 started I came to peace with this was it.

I honestly felt the movie could have been made better. The skipping of 4 shows here and 4 shows there, was sort of a letdown.

Subject matter was mentioned POST tour as opposed to DURING the tour which was what I was expecting.

This was a 90 minute recap with video clips as opposed to a Tour documentary

No crying

My dog Desmond heard he did not have a photo on TRF.

Now I have made him happy.

This is his 'Merry Christmas, are you going to finish eating that sandwich?' pose

Do you all think that they were really that talented, or was it more of always being in the right place at the right time?

Mutt Lange

 

That's right. Is he still around? He was a perfectionist. He didn't let them get away with anything. That's why it took almost a year to make Pyromania.

Mutt Lange IMO had his ear on what people wanted to hear long before anyone else did.

Now open your listening ears....Mutt knew PSSOM was the drum beat hook that got everyone's attention in the 1st 30 seconds

Listen to JUST the drum beats of each song, THEY are EXACTLY the same, both produced by Mutt

He just replaced the guitar part with a fiddle on Shania's song

And the song structure is almost identical except the chorus speeds up in AMOM

To explain to how popular Hysteria was:

A good friend of mine was a FM Top 40 DJ when 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' blew up

Remember the Album had been out for 8 months when that song was released as a single.

When it hit, Ken and his team said it was so popular by request they were forced to play the song every 90 minutes.

That lasted 2 years. 2 YEARS!! They were the Number 1 radio station in Oklahoma City the entire time.

 

I remember that. In a way, they got lucky. The first single (Women) really did not go very far and it was only after the album had been out for a while that the album really took off. Not often you put out an album, have the first single not do great, have the album go along selling ok for a while and then have the album turn into a monster and one single after another just go huge.

 

Speaks volumes as to how the album was a great fit for the time and that it was a deep album. Also, they were a great "fit" for lack of a better phrase with the MTV of the day.

They also toured like beasts once PSSOM was a hit. They had sold something like 2 million copies of Hysteria the 1st 8 months, then sold like 7 million copies the next year

I ought to check out the WalMart near us. Maybe they've got one stuck in their discount bin too.

Or a hidden mousetrap like in a cartoon...

I could use a mousetrap too. I am ashamed to say that with three cats in the house, we actually have a mouse. It's a disgrace that we have any mice.

How did that happen? Where did it get in?

I don't know how the mouse got in, but he ate my Rice-A-Roni.

The San Francisco treat

There's not much left for them to eat in there. I cleaned the pantry out. They even ate my table napkins.

 

I hear them squeaking sometimes. There must be more than one.

 

You definitely have more than 1. Most likely you can also hear them in the walls at night. Thats when we would always start to realize that they had decided to move in with us for the winter. Since we did not want to run a bed & breakfast for them, thats when we would have to start taking action.

 

Our cats were always outdoors cats. They would be allowed in during the day but at night they were put out and went off to the barns where they stayed and hunted. Good mousers but sometimes they just need help. Esp. the few time the mice turned out to be rats. Cats wont do anything about them.

 

So, when we got to the point the cats needed help we would use mouse poison. Forget traps. Not very effective. Also, forget poison that comes in pellets. The darn things will cary it away and store it for when they get very hungry. The best stuff comes in blocks that they can eat but not carry away. I recomend something called Tomcat. Put it down in the celler (if you have one) and the things will happily eat it and die. Our cats never got interested in eating an already dead mouse so they were never impacted by it - plus they had no interest in the poison. And they had plenty of mice to hunt and eat out in the barns and in the fields.

 

Try Tomcat if your cats cant do the job.

I'll look for it. I don't think I ever heard of the product.

 

I'd buy traps but I'm afraid I may find a half dead squirming mouse in one of them.

 

Here in upstate NY you can get it at most True Value Hardware stores or Agway's. I also agree with you about what you could find in a trap.

 

Of course, if the poison works, get ready for the wonderful stench of dead / rotting mouse. The aroma is distinctive - not in a good way. But it will go away and it beats having mice in the house.

 

Say, the thread now has references to Def Leppard, Rat(s) and Poison - I wonder how many more 80's hair mettel groups can get squeezed in??

I once sold my old Chevy Nova to a guy named Aldo. He was then Aldo Nova........

No Carr.......

The Patriots just WON the AFC

In very brief spurts yes, but mostly a big NO

He was fine as a bit part actor, never should have had a single leading man role.

Chris Kataan is going WTF??? << Another hack

The funny thing is Rob thinks he is more talented than he really is:

• It was after Grown Ups that Schneider stopped appearing in Adam Sandler films.
  
• He was still name-dropped in Jack and Jill, which was his last mention in a Sandler movie.
  
• On a radio show, Schneider claimed that he wasn't doing Grown Ups 2 because he wasn't being paid enough (Wanted the same pay as Rock, James and Spade) and also that his schedule didn't work out with his new TV show (the latter being a lie, since his show was done filming by the time Grown Ups 2 started production). The filming of Grown Ups 2 took all of 47 days.
  

Cleveland wins

How dare they win a game and ruin my week!

I had them for a HUGE 5 Pts................LOL :drool:
