Isn't that basic Final Jeopardy strategy? It kind of shocks me when contestants who have proven their knowledge screw up the final wager.

It's 2026 and we can't separate anything, be it music, art, books etc, from our daily politics. So-I'm sure you know who the keyboard player from Journey is married to.
Long live Dropkick Murphys
Fuck Journey

Not actually a double album, but....Springsteen released Human Touch and Lucky Town at the same time and it had enough great tunes to make 1 awesome LP.

Don't think any of my tales can alleviate the shit we've been going thru. Stay strong, resist and protest. RIP BW

Let's not forget, in the words of Ronald Reagan, those "pre-mature anti-fascists"...From 1936

First 3 innings in New York. Next 3 innings in New Mexico. 3 innings and counting in Hawaii. Hoping for an 18 inning game.

Just wish EVERY Dem would refer to him as "President Vagina Neck". It would destroy him. You know, if the tables were turned, that's what MAGA would do.

A few questions about ANTIFA:
Who's in charge of it?
Why haven't they recruited me?
Where can I buy their T-Shirt?

After almost 30 years here, and NEVER falling asleep during a sporting event, the time zone is a top-5 reason for being "lucky to live Hawaii"

How the Ryder cup was a metaphor for America in 2025

-Prices thru the roof
-Fans were boorish
-The rest of the world was rooting against us.
-We did well individually, got our asses kicked in team play

ESPN aims to preserve β€˜Inside the NBA’ format when show debuts on network in October Full details of how ESPN will use "Inside" are likely to emerge over the next three weeks, but the famed crew will be part of opening night.

A backstory...My friend, Jerry Seltzer owned the ticket co in SF. There were over 20,000 unsold tix for this show. The next day Jerry took the unsold tix (this was before computerization) to the county dump. Using ebay ticket stubs as a basis, those unsold tix would be worth 2 million $$ today

I was in the concert biz when we had the 85 year old Bob Hope doing a show. I asked his mgr why is he still touring? Smiling, the mgr said "He has his asbestos bags packed and wants to be sure his family is ok"
Bob Hope lived another 15 years!
Guess his family, and Mr. Serling's, were more than ok.

One of the saddest things I've ever seen on TV. The great Henry Rollins had a show, half talk, half music. Like most punk rockers, Henry was enamored with Kiss and had Gene Simmons on to chat. All Henry's idol wanted to talk about was $$.
Henry was crestfallen
Fuck Gene Simmons

RE: Stallone
For a very brief time, 30+ years ago, Ron Reagan Jr. had a weekly show where one segment was "Heroes and Zeroes of the Week".
Once, Stallone was the Zero. Forget what he did but I remember this because that week, I was the Hero
Tainted my 7 1/2 minutes of fame.
Fuck Sylvester Stallone
