  1. I think we had a discussion here about this recently. Yeah, he's a scumbag.
  2. They interviewed Marty about it a while back. Apparently he was fully aware that he was gonna get his butt kicked but went for it anyway.
  3. Sorry to hear of your community's loss. Interesting info. Burial customs are certainly different across various cultures. I think we tend to get a little crazy here in the Christian world. What you do seems more my speed.
  4. The fun part about this is that Josie's father, born in the 40s, is super into this kinda stuff. He has old gramophones and used to have a ton of 78s. So he's blowing up my phone last night telling me everything I need to do to make sure I don't break anything trying to play them. He, of course, remembers some of these artists from when he was a kid.
  5. So I was out thrifting today and hit a pretty cool score in Lancaster at Amvets. First off, I did not buy the two accordions they had for sale. I would have liked to, but no, I resisted. For those who might be interested, the working one was a black Frontalini for $200. What I scored today though was a box of old 78s. I haggled them to give me the whole box for $6. Artists include Hal Kemp, Harry James, Horace Heidt, Kay Kyser, The Sportsmen, Roger Williams, The Mariners, Reinald Werrenrath, Eddy Duchin, a broken Perry Como, The Merry Macs, Anton Karas performing a Zither solo from an Orson Welles film called The Third Man, Woody Herman, John McCormack. Lots of the first three guys. I had no idea if they were in playable shape or not, I've never bought used 78s. I tested a few out on my turntable and they sound pretty good. Ordered a replacement stylus for my cartridge tonight that will play the 78s better. The prize of the collection seems to be the single sided John McCormack, a 1920 pressing of Your Eyes Have Told Me So. Not bad. I could really see myself getting in to 78s. There's a lot of music out there that I don't know from the 78 era.
  6. Your skepticism with respect to female accusers always seems to be a little too eager.
  7. I also thought it happened already.
  8. I bet brain damage contributes as well. These guys have been playing through the worst concussions pretty much their whole lives. Nothing destroys the brain like football.
  9. That seems like a bad idea.
  10. I would like to go through TW and my vote is for the February 23rd game.
  11. Yuuuppppp
  12. Hellebyuck just got paiddddd. $6.167 x 6.
  13. A full season for me is 70+ games. Most goalies don't play a full season...
  14. Get Pominville out of there and I can live. He just sticks out to me like a sore thumb.
  15. This is why it's important to never have heroes.
  16. My father is 6'6" and has weighed around 190 most of his life. He's way stronger than me but because he's so tall he doesn't look like much. Don't gotta look strong to be strong when you're tall.
  17. His time in ICU and his recovery did give him less time to prepare for the season.
  18. Can't do it anymore. They made it a rule after Biron wore 00.
  19. Hm, I think I'll start.
  20. What's to stop people from using one jersey and just passing it around so all their friends can get the discount? The honor system?
