tAll Encompassing Disney Thread
That's a pretty spot on characterization of the attraction. My kids' two cousins are staying for the week and wanted to see the Avengers thing, so took them to CA yesterday. We didn't even manage to get into the virtual queue for the Web Slingers, but I saw the line and didn't mind at all. There's just not much to the whole thing. Park was crowded, day was hot as hell and a beat down. Waited over an hour for the Cars Racing ride. Tried to talk the wife into us going into the single rider line, which was about a ten minute wait, but she wasn't having it. Have no idea why they can't line the wait lines with inexpensive umbrellas, would make a big difference not being directly baked by the sun. However, the day was saved by the short lines at the big roller coaster at the pier. Kids absolutely loved it and went four times in a row. Still talking about it today.

Realignment talk not going away
Here's the podcast fwiw. It's a short listen and some interesting things in there. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-big-ten-about-to-raid-pac-12-in-conference-realignment/id1517259960?i=1000529991696

Realignment talk not going away
A connected tOSU guy said on a podcast that the group running point for Texas and OU reached out to the B1G around the same time as they did the SEC (which would make sense as you'd want to hopefully create competition for your affiliation). Said the B1G was eager for Texas but had no interest in OU, and when it became clear it was a package deal the talks ended before even starting. So, B1G has known this was afoot for six months. If they haven't schemed and prepared shame on them. No one seems to have much faith in Delanay's replacement

Olympics, better late than never
Ah, got it. In that scenario if she wasn't trusting herself at all I can see her thought process. Hope she comes back and kills in the individual.

Olympics, better late than never
Just to be clear, it's not all four compete and the lowest score is thrown out?

I took that as more a look of "fuck, the boss is annoyed he's having to serve me". Tony looked pissed when Carm nudged him to refill Patsy's drink That said, I think I'd fall in line with Patsy being involved for reasons stated. Also, he and his brother were originally in Junior's crew. He was always viewed suspiciously by Tony and he knew it

Cripes. Just listened to this song after many years, and you're comparing it to Jagged Little Pill?! Fuck you cunt

I dismissed your theory about Paulie immediately, but have to admit that first link has some interesting arguments.

Vacationing in times of Covid
Hotel housekeepers do far more to earn tips than restaurant wait staff in my opinion. Cleaning all those rooms is hard, nasty work. Bringing me a refill of diet coke, not so much

Opening song from Knebworth. Jagger must have been shook. One of the comments nails Van Zant: "No one could look cooler by just stalking around ,holding a mic and owning the stage." Dude was just a badass. Short and stocky, and sang in his bare feet. No lifter shoes needed for my man.

Amazing that Van Zant wrote those lyrics at 24 or 25 years old.

Father's Day 2021
- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I'll spare the details but wife knows I don't want a fuss on Father's Day. What was supposed to be a laid back early dinner of carryout crab bucket for the two of us, our two kids and her best friend has turned into a pain in the ass, formal, expensive event with enough food for a dozen adults.- The Sopranos
That's a great point. I was single when the show aired and hated the family scenes. Having rewatched after having a family those scenes are much more relatable. I've got a 14 year old son who used to love to roughhouse with me. Recently he's changed and just whines "stop" if I try to roughhouse him a little. There's a scene with AJ doing that exact same thing when Tony tries to play.- RIP Ned Beatty
He was great playing against type as a ruthless Sheriff who controls the whole county in White Lightning (a severely underrated movie)- Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain
I think it was his producer's, but yeah a common story across the PI.- Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain
He did an episode in PI that partially focused on Filipina mothers who leave their families to work abroad and support them, not getting the see them for years. My wife is Filipina and her mother did the same thing...years working in Saudi Arabia then US. In a closing bit Tony sensitively and respectfully captured the essence of that whole thing the gentle loving Filipino nature in a few minutes of narration that makes me tear up every time I see it. He truly had a gift and I hate that he left.- Mare of Easttown
This post needs more love.- I'll Admit It -- I Watched the Friends Reunion and Really Enjoyed It.
That show's popularity was obviously due to the chemistry of the six stars. I read once where the producers originally wanted Joey to be the typical horn dog character that hits on the three girls constantly, and Leblanc wisely refused to play him that way. It would have completely changed the dynamic of the cast.- 100 Best Sitcoms of All Time
I still remember an episode where Lamont wanted to invite a kid to stay for fried chicken dinner. Fred wanted nothing to do with it because they only had "four necks and three backs" to split amongst them.- The Sopranos

You gotta be kidding me. I'm a 40 year+ Bears fan who despises the Packers and Rodgers but would LOVE to have him QB the team for the next three or so years.- Oscars
