  1. "Diaz F***s It Up in the Box" count is up to three. That was a nice run, though.
  2. I grew up in Jefferson City; it's got Lincoln University! It's Columbia now, and that's got maybe a better known school . . .
  3. Way to keep living! Happy Birthday!
  4. Cairo, Egypt, to central Missouri: 6440 miles. I was born while my parents were working overseas. A more fair/telling measure might be: I live about 50 miles from the house I grew up in (ages 2-18), and where my parents still live.
  5. Do they perhaps have a live album that captures the range of the possible well?
  6. Does he have more points than the team at this point?
  7. I really hate these purple kits LFC are wearing (again) . . .
  8. Yes, but is it good for the Cowboys? Maybe, if this kid is an heir, it'll be a soap opera, like, I dunno, Dallas, and the family will have to sell the team!
  9. Maybe the Blackhawks should sign a couple of them . . .
  10. Is it a fad, do you think, or is it here to stay? I keep thinking about how those sleeve tattoos will look when the wearer is 87 . . .
  11. This is very informative and helpful, it's piqued my curiosity, and I may have to check some of the non-growling stuff. Can't help being a little disappointed this isn't an annotation of Milton's great poem, however.
  12. Am I the asshole for rooting against Ovechkin ever catching Gretzky? I'm not sure what it is, but I just never warmed up to that guy.
  13. More exciting than Klopp's Kinder whipping Southampton?
  14. Are those sails, or is it stacked decks, like on a yacht? Should be sails.
  15. I'm not an economist, but doesn't dynamic pricing work because of supply and demand forces? If Uber drivers are busier because the game just let out, and thus there are fewer Uber drivers available, charging more is a response to market forces.* How does that work for a Frosty? Are they going to charge more if the Frosty sludge is getting low in order to prolong the supply? Why not just add more mix? That's what we did whenever the school bus pulled into the parking lot, when I worked at Wendy's ('87-'88). The only "shortages" here would be artifically created by Wendy's, yes? I call horseshit. (*This makes markets sound rational, I realize, but I know they -- like the people involved -- are mostly irrational, so there's that.)
  16. Liverpool are Carabao Cup winners! One down, three to go. Not a great game, tbh. But a very dramatic winner with two minutes left in extra time.
  17. Mine was just the regular ol' box of DVD; no t-shirt or anything. I honestly don't even remember where/when I bought it.
  18. Not one of those "pulsating" nil-nil draws, then, eh?
  19. Really? Fox’s Jesse Watters aired a video that, he claimed, shows that “the Pentagon psychological-operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset.” The person speaking in the video was not in fact from the Pentagon [. . .] but Watters still seemed to think it might explain “why or how she blew up like this.” Or Vivek Ramaswamy, until recently a presidential candidate himself, posted on X, “I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.” True, maybe believing any of that stuff is nuts . . .
  20. Four episodes in seemed about peak value. If it was "marriage stress + gun play" that would be one thing, but it's more like "marriage stress, oh, and a little gun play." The balance was better earlier, is my point, is all.
  21. I'm almost done with Amazon's Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It started slow, got good, and for the last three or four episodes has been pretty miserable. I've never seen the Brangelina movie version, but I can't believe it would have wallowed in the relationship misery of the couple like this. It's been like watching Marriage Story or something. There's an episode left, so maybe it redeems itself.
  22. Spring training means nothing! But didn't the Dodgers punch the Padres in the face, though? And Ohtani didn't even take an at-bat! No pressure this year, Dave Roberts.
  23. Will Clark's legacy be diminished if she doesn't win a title? Or will the scoring record be the thing people remember? I think she's got another year if she doesn't want the paycut the WNBA would bring, so it's possible that by the time she's done she'll be so far out of sight it's eclipsed any team wins shortcomings.
