  1. RIP, Bobby Womack: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bobby-womack-dead-at-70-20140627
  2. Really appreciate your contributions to this thread, Ric. It takes me to circles unknown.
  3. RIP, Horace. Man, rough week.
  4. Ya, no kidding. His was rough, too. Mouth cancer from the chewing tobacco. Fucking hate cancer. As for Tony, he was incredible, and he never got too excited. You just couldn't strike him out. Best contact hitter I've ever seen. Better than Rod Carew, better than Boggs, Ichiro, any of them really.
  5. Great news! Congrats.
  6. RIP, Casey. My favorite was this comic gem:
  7. Seemed interesting, but they wouldn't ship to Florida. But then there are ways. Mr. Google is my friend. He helps me spend money... and wouldn't you know, you can get free shipping if you buy 2 bottles at this place! http://www.wiredforwine.com/featured-wine/ardbeg-uigeadail-single-malt-whisky Never pass up a deal. $12 savings...
  8. The Rangers actually played several good games. Just got beat by a team that played a little better and caught a few more breaks, had some good timing, etc. 4 out of 5 games decided by one goal. What an amazing sport when it's played at such a high level.
  9. Boyle looks like Mandy Patinkin. "Hello. You killed my father. Prepare for my game winning goal."
  10. Exactly. Fucking Brits with their clever words. Love it, though. So British. Hell, I'm half British myself... the half that I don't usually talk about, but still half.

  12. Walter would be proud. https://lebowskifest.com/shop/new-stuff/toe-keychain Monica is actually 40, not that it really matters:
  13. Sounds like you lost two good friends for whom you had great respect. RIP gentlemen. You lived well.
  14. Baseball is not boring if you live in the Bay area! Home of the best two teams in MLB this year! But being a Blue Jays fan has been fun of late as well.
  15. They're devoted to fair weather. Not so much to the Kings.
  16. The first must be golf or tennis or something like that... you can't seriously think that baseball is boring! Heck, you've even got Vin Scully in your neck of the woods! There couldn't be a more interesting sport, in my opinion, than our nation's passtime.
  17. Yes, and the "percentage" business is one of their classic tricks. Oh, it gives you 80-90% of the sonics for only a fraction of the price! As if "sonics" can be quantified at all, let alone on a sliding scale measured based on percentages. But that gets the attention of the masses, meaning most people who would find $400 to be quite a stretch for some such contraption to begin with. Yet, at least now they can think they are getting a steal of some sort. Meanwhile, 80-90% of what is possible is nothing to the guy who wants 99% or 100% and will settle for nothing less... so he won't lose that customer either. Don't ask me how I know that. MBL in my case. No regrets because I could afford it and it's what I wanted, but price certainly wasn't my first consideration.
  18. Because nobody is buying his expensive shit, yet thousands of people are poised to buy the much cheaper shit that he'll get a slice of? Maybe? Especially with his ringing endorsement.
  19. Ditto.
  20. Let's go Hawks!!!
