  1. The scouting report says he has a wicked screwball.
  2. 7 loads of laundry. How did I get this many clothes?
  3. She was the same age as me. Sad that they didn't give her more to do on "The Partridge Family"...she played a mean tambourine indeed. Sweet redhead, too. R.I.P.Suzanne Crough.
  4. The clarion call of the loser. Playoffs are about the players more than coaches and refs. Big-time players play. Losers whine about refs.
  5. Ahhh, but he has ants in his pants for the NHL draft, which I'm sure will propel Buffalo to the Stanley Cup.
  6. Judging from the films of John Waters, Baltimore's never been normal, hehehe.
  7. Poor Gibby...Kirk Gibson diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2015/04/28/kirk-gibson-parkinsons-disease-tigers/26512119/ How I will always remember Gibson:
  8. ^^^ I wanted to strangle Stephanie Green every time she referred to Lead Belly as 'Belly' in that article. Argh. Belly is a band from the 90s.
  9. The Clippers shot more free throws than the Spurs, chef. The Spurs were a good 28-37 from the line, while the Clippers were an abysmal 26-42! Make a damn free throw Clippers! The lasting image of this game, though, was Blake Griffin getting snuffed by Tim Duncan at point-blank range when the game was on the line. Duncan came thru, as he usually does. Griffin didn't. In the 4th quarter, Blake Griffin was 1-9 from the field, missed both his free throws, had three turnovers, and of course had that crucial shot blocked by Duncan and then had the ball stolen from him in the last two minutes. The Spurs have championship mettle. The Clippers do not. ebk, your Wiz are going to be rusty by the time this Nets-Hawks series is over and the second round can begin.
  10. On top of all the pitchers requiring Tommy John surgery, you're seeing freak injuries like Wainwright getting hurt while batting. As a traditionalist it pains me to say this but I think we'll eventually see the NL adopt the DH rule.
  11. Pastrami, cole slaw and Russian dressing on rye. With Canter's amazing pickles.
  12. "ROAR"! This movie will leave your jaw dropped to the floor. One of the most gonzo movies I have ever seen and one that required balls of steel by everyone involved...including Tippi Hedren and her then-14-year old daughter Melanie Griffith, who was mauled and required stitches. No CGI used in this movie...those are all real lions and tigers, oh my! The movie took years to film and was completed in 1981 but didn't get wide distribution and was lost and forgotten for years. Now it's been restored and brought back for a limited release. Check your local listings...it's short on plot but so crazy in that 1970s free-for-all way, you can't take your eyes off the screen. Here's a brief clip...
  13. ^^^I'm listening to 4.27.69 Fillmore West, too...via Bumble Bee's "Blue Flame".
  14. Goddamn fucking Angels. I am sick to my stomach. Ready to renounce my fanship until new management/ownership is brought in. Today's shenanigans is the last straw. Not that this wasn't foreseeable...back when the Angels first signed Josh Hamilton to that huge contract and people automatically anointed them contenders, I warned everyone to hold on and said this had a better chance of blowing up in the Angels faces. But to give Josh Hamilton back to Texas and get nothing in return...plus still being on the hook for his contract?!?! What the fuck! The evidence is clear...the Angels signings of Pujols and Hamilton represent the biggest financial waste in baseball history. Yes, even more than Texas signing A-Roid. It is a total financial fiasco and embarrassment as an Angel fan, and I refuse to give any more of my time and money and emotional engagement to the current Angel regime. Big changes need to be made before the club is buried under the weight of its mismanagement.
  15. It's not so much Kevin Love's scoring that Cleveland will miss as they move forward, it is Love's awareness of spacing and hustle on the boards. Especially if they play Chicago, who like to clog the middle with their four big men. With Love camped out on the perimeter, it affected Chicago's style of play. That is why Cleveland was 3-0 versus Chicago with Love in the lineup and 0-1 without Love. Of course, if Chicago doesn't get its act together, it'll be Milwaukee that Cleveland faces. Right now I am just waiting to see how hard Adam Silver drops the hammer on Cleveland's JR Smith. Will it be a light 2 game suspension or will it be a 5-gamer? Cleveland being without Love and JR Smith for the next round will change the Vegas odds drastically.
  16. Lots of lovely cats and dogs by everyone here. So I'm not sure how this will be received, but here is a photo of the most beloved pet I had...Socrates the Python (Burmese). He was used in a few music videos, including N.W.A.'s "Appetite for Destruction".
  17. ^^^Thanks icondo! On that recommendation I am heading down tonight to pick it up. It's only $16 at the local record shop.
  18. Who gives a fuck about Starbucks? Their taste in coffee is as useless as their taste in music. "Social engineering" is the perfect phrase...they've created a generation of caffeine-addled drones.
  19. The show so good I am keeping it in the cd carousel for another go 'round...Allman Brothers Band @ Capitol Theatre, January 23, 1971 (late show). Berry's bass gets very loud and rumbly at the end...especially during "Hot 'lanta". chef free, you mentioned the early show being out there...here it is, combined with the late show!
