If you make it into the Criterion Closet, this is how you do it. You got absolutely ham for 10+ minutes like Laura Dern. I love her.

I still remember DP 29 walking into the used CD store I was working at in Manhattan, KS, circa 2004. I had just discovered American Beauty a couple of weeks before. So 5/19/77 was the first live dead I ever heard.

Been a booster of a couple of discord channels for seven years now, in addition to paying for nitro. That's $13.48 a month back in my pocket. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

Come Along by Ebo Taylor & The Pelikans on AppleΒ Music Song Β· 1976 Β· Duration 6:01

Hearing Ebo Taylor has died. Didn't know the man's whole catalog, but I can tell you that his debut album Ebo Taylor and The Pelikans from 1976 is wonderful. Listen to Come Along and I guarantee you'll get a smile on your face. music.apple.com/us/album/com...

This is not at all breaking news at all and many have pointed out as such but this is also the key reason why many folks will not partake of your Substacks (because it is hosted at THE Nazi bar)

K-State dribbled the ball off their own feet twice in the last 23 seconds of the game and are going to lose a game that they will have trailed for all of 0:06 of it. I honestly think this loss could qualify as cause for terminating Jerome Tang’s contract

leave jerome tang in fort worth. he can take a lyft to waco.

me, watching big air snow board jumping: wow, lots of spins. he landed without dying. didn't touch the ground with his hands. that was great. that's going to be at least a 92.

judges: 70.5

Log on, ready to see what's happening on Bluesky, and the first two things I see are a penis biggening skiing conspiracy and Oklahoma universities phasing out tenure. Have a good night, everyone.

TBS guy said he was on deck, but that's inaccurate. I remember Dusty Baker was on deck for the Aaron homer.

Watching Mets at Atlanta on TBS from the end of April, 1986 instead of sleeping. Just heard the Davey Johnson factoid about him being in the hole for both Sadaharu Oh and Henry Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's home run record.

idea for BIS judge: pull a ball out of your pocket and give it a toss. how does the dog react? what are they going to do, not invite you back?

I love the idea of the Westminster BIS judge being in seclusion for two days while the breeds are judged. He comes out of a bunker and doesn't really remember what a dog is at all, someone has to explain it to him as he rides the elevator.

YouTube. There are a ton of 80s games out there. For starters, track down this this guy's lists:

plus Lake Oswego is the rich white suburb, so there might have been just as many sincere watchers as hate watchers honestly. both pay the same amount to get in.

Yeah, I just posted a link to the guy trying to explain it. I think they're just trying to put butts in seats however they can right now. Which is fair.

Watching the 04/26/1986 White Sox at Tigers game and I don't think I realized just what a launching pad old Tigers Stadium was. Also Darrell Evans had a UFO sighting in San Francisco in 1982 that Bob Costas just told me about. I've watched a dozen April 1986 games now and am really enjoying it.
