[quote]1981-1987 were the prime cartoon years for me[/quote] What was great about that era was that when we outgrew Saturday morning cartoons, Saved by the Bell and American Gladiators moved in to pick up the slack. Teen Kelly Kapowski followed by Nitro and Zap dominating the arena was a solid...

What's the record for most SEC teams hosting a regional? ...
Well when it is practically a prerequisite that someone be in the top 1% in height [u]AND[/u] be in the top 1% of athleticism just to play at that level then you might as well cast your net in a river that has 6 million fish as opposed to a river that has only 330 million. Not saying fundamenta...
[quote]Perhaps, but I think Derrick Thomas in his prime would hold his own today.[/quote][quote] That was my point. In 1980 there weren't a lot of guys who reminded us of modern SEC players. Sure there were some freak exceptions like Herschel Walker and Reggie White but for the most part the pl...

re: Most Overrated Coen Bros Movie?

Posted by AUFANATL on 5/11/24 at 7:20 pm
In a weird way I actually think No Country for Old Men qualifies as "overrated" for them because a lot of people think it came from their brilliant minds but they actually just filmed the Cormac McCarthy novel almost scene for scene and word for word. And I think Tommie Lee Jones was involved bef...
The sport evolved a lot over that decade. Go watch those early 80s teams and compare them to what we saw later. Small lineman, slow LBers, white dudes in the secondary and WR and QBs who mainly handed the ball off. ...
A catcher gets slammed into (collision) a few times a year. A goalie gets slammed into a few times per period. Hell one of them had his jugular sliced open and nearly bled out on the ice. I will make apologies to catchers who play behind Marcell Ozuna. He constantly whacks them in the head...

[quote]I don’t live in Louisiana, but this idea of urban decay is the exact opposite of what’s happened in Tennessee. 20 years ago downtown Nashville was basically half of what it is now. Downtown Knoxville was almost dead. Areas like East Nashville were dangerous and North Knoxville had very few bu...
There was a weird fallow period in between his recording success and his parrot head touring when he lived in Nashville and owned a small bar/restaurant. Most nights he hung out at the bar and talked with patrons. Kind of crazy that you could just go to a local watering hole and have drinks with...
Did she used to live in the house? That happened to my neighbors once. Old lady who had lived at the house over a decade before had a senior moment and went to her old house which was now occupied by a young couple who were startled to see some random old woman walk into their house and make her...
[quote]Are there basic trails in cascades are most more advanced?[/quote] The best hikes in the Cascades aren't easy but not overly hard either. I guess you could rate them as medium - but plan on 5 or 6 hours of hiking and over 1000 feet of elevation gain. It helps to be in shape. That being ...

Depending on the location, conditions, etc. they can be fine if you are young and single or if you are "too old for this sh*t" when it comes to upkeep and landscaping. Between those age brackets I want a detached house with a yard. ...

Lot of stories like this floating around. Young adults who did everything right - education, career, marriage, saving money, 401k, HSA, etc. and the next step towards the American Dream, a home and children, seem out of reach. The plutocrats have completely sold out multiple generations. Oh, ...
Drove a '99 Accord for 17 years and ditched it at 240k miles. Replaced it five years ago with a 2007 Lexus that now has around 150k miles. I could probably sell it now for close to what I paid for it. Caveat - I work from home since Covid so I have put less than 5k miles a year on her. I a...

re: College football is ruined

[quote]Change can be good or bad. Before SEC expansion in 92, LSU hardly ever played Auburn. LSU and Auburn didn’t play from 1942 to 1969. Almost immediately after the divisions were formed, it became must see football with the 94 Interception Game, 95 Bring Back the Magic, and 96 Barnburner. It bec...
There's a decent chance Biden or Trump could die at a moment where it was too late to fix or replace ballots. That would be his dream come true. ...
The way I see it, this is dividing the Democrat base and hurting Biden's re-election chances so why not stand back and let them continue fighting each other? We don't have to choose a side and participate here, we can simply sit back and let the chaos continue for another 6 months. And don't k...
