I don't know how much chronic Petula Clark has ready to roll, so it's up the Hill for me . . .

Yikes! More like the "lowKlasa"!

I guess if enough people think something is the best of all time, someone's bound to think it's the worst. Dang! Lol Its a sentiment that's led to the most suffering and killing in human history, so it's hard to imagine anything worse. I'm not following. Maybe this is going to get too SCONish, but how does a song proclaiming nothing but peace, love, and equality have a sentiment that produces violence and suffering? This is conflating things too simply -- or, this is like equating Christianity to witch hunts and religious wars, and ignoring all the soup kitchens, charity, and cathedrals. I appreciate architecture of cathedrals, give to charity and enjoy a nice bowl of soup too, you know :coy: Yes, of course! Even heathens might do something nice accidentally! ;) Goodness isn't the property of any one group or creed . . . I was trying to find an analogy wherein absolutes distort the picture, and trying to stick up for peace, love, and understanding (I know that's not "Imagine," but it's a great list!).

I'll go with "Happy X-Mas" despite the child-like caterwauling of Yoko, and Imagine for album, but normally I'm a Paul guy, so he wins the overall.

Oh, my god that was stressful. Put your boot on someone's throat, will you?

You also said it was the group of death, so you have balanced out your "that guy"-ness :tempted: Yeah, I'm not sure if LFC are that good, or the other guys were less good than advertised, but it was more "The Group of a Mild Headache."

So Liverpool's experimental B side humdrums its way into a perfect group stage. I don't have any analysis here; I just wanted to be that guy and mention it. :dweez:

1984 -- Honeymoon Suite, Honeymoon Suite

They had their chances. If the Chiefs wideouts could hold on to the ball, it would have been more lopsided.

Burn is a great album -- but you're right about Made In Japan; if I could only own one DP album, it'd be that one (preferably the extended remaster that includes "Lucille").

Other than the money, why on earth would a coach leave ND for LSU? Oh, wait, there is nothing other than the money. I dunno, maybe he'd like to prove to himself he can beat the Bamas and Goergias of the world when he has access to the same talent (since he'll now be at a top SEC program). It's been obvious that ND hasn't had the same level of talent as the top SEC schools and (it kills me to say this) Ohio St. All that said, the money doesn't hurt either. :) Yeah, I get this, but he doesn't have to be in the same conference to recruit the same kids -- it's a nationwide talent pool for any of those schools. Does the LSU/SEC brand have greater drawing power than Notre Dame? I'd be surprised, frankly. It's the same Chip Kelly, so it's likely to be the same kind of recruits.

Enjoy that inclusive 19th Hole, sir.

Thank you, Lorraine.

Maybe they misread the "immune/eliminate" section?

Interesting, I thought. If the teams recognized that baseball is the product, and not "The Yankees" or "The Rays" . . . a fun thought experiment. https://www.royalsreview.com/2021/11/20/22792015/capitalism-is-ruining-baseball

For you, yes. Grrrrr.

Sorry I'm a bit late with the Arsenal smack talk, but I don't think anyone 'round here will mind! So sad about Ole . . .

. . . is something no one thought any one would be saying about the Chiefs a month ago! I hope this doesn't mean there's something about AFC West opponents . . .

Also, if the Steelers are the darlings of the NFL and by extension the zebras, what happened today? IDK, perhaps the Steelers forgot to send in their weekly tithe to the refs? "Sure is a nice football team you got here, Pittsburgh. It'd be an awful shame if something bad happened to it . . ."

Genesis. [insert rationale to explain the obvious here]

Should we pronounce it more like "Gee-haw!" so it sounds like more fun?
