That Aud Smell

I recall now that this was the reason for my Britney WTF face .gif: If the implication of "drunk" was something closer to unconsciousness (blacked out), then my sense is that there are many jurisdictions, including in North America, in which intercourse with such a woman would be a crime.

Is that a pardon my take product? I now have even less idea of what your point is/was.

Overthinking it, or having an over-developed sense of their own competencies, or being greedy as a mofo. Or a combination of those three. Or all three.

Annuities aren't really an investment, fwiw. At least not like a bond or equity. My simpleton understanding is that you basically fork over some of the value of your principal so that the person holding the money and paying the annuity can make bank on the margin. So you give some to get some.

Shifting gears. Had an old friend mention, in passing, how a song we were listening to (virtually listening to together; dude lives out west) reminded him of Wichita Lineman. I was like "what song's that?" He sent me a selfie where he was looking at me as though we had never met before. And so began a deep dive into one of the greatest pop songs ever written. Holy sh1t. Made popular by Glen Campbell, written (for him) by Jimmy Webb:

Good lord. That's good stuff. I have to admit, I found myself thinking about how much you guys must have to practice to get that all together and then keep it that way. Crimson for sure. Genesis, I'm less sure (although they did have some stuff like this).

Saw this over the weekend and it made me think of the RaKru talk.

Really? Be careful what you wish for. There is a lot of junk and noise out there. I'd rather not have to sift through it.

What’s the 50% snaps thing mean in the PFF stat?

He’s basing it on an unattributed DM he received that stated it’s Laine for McCabe and two 1sts. Please, let’s exercise some discretion when it comes to posting stuff. (Also, it appears that he deleted that Tweet.)

this gave me a sad

Huh? We weren't discussing anyone's "taste" in beer at that juncture. I was talking about how certain macro lagers can cause intestinal distress for certain people. You then proffered that most macro lagers give you those kinds of issues. I then observed that it seems like you're generally averse to the style, rather than specifically averse to certain concoctions. Not for nothing, @dudacek's daughter also seems to have some sort of pervasive issue with domestic (North?) American beer. Eesh. Sorry for the minor thread derailment.

Yeah. Your macro beer issues seem more pervasive and generalized.

Fair point, and unpleasant. I should not have referenced just the bargain beers above (Keystone, etc.). I should have generally included all of the American Adjunct Lagers (I think that's what they're called). A colleague of mine cannot, for reasons unknown, drink Molson Canadian. He's okay with Golden, or Stock Ale. Something about Molson Canadian makes him sh1t like a river.

There are certain of the bargain beers that, perhaps owing to all the cereal grains and/or syrups/extracts that show up on the grain bill, will play havoc with your gut and lower GI. I have no problem with anyone loudly avoiding those for such reasons.

I'll never get the hue and cry about "such and such is crap." Man, I drink everything. In moderation, hopefully. I treasure an ice cold Miller Lite (or 2) after hot yard work (I mean, like, yard work where it's hot outside). The bold porter is my favourite style of beer (it took a while to figure this out). I have a dirty thirty of Genny Light in the basement at any given time. Shiner Bock is perfectly serviceable.

God. Just launch that guy into the sun. As if the game’s not dangerous enough as it is.

That was pretty freakin' sweet. Fellas.

Hoo man, I think that's not a fit. Allen is a big fella with excellent athleticism and superior arm talent. Fitzmagic is a more normal sized guy with slightly better than average athleticism (for an NFL QB) and a less than average arm.

From what I saw, Allen remains a significantly flawed, highly athletic QB who has ... how you say ... moxie. That sort of signal caller is probably enough to get a team 7-8 wins (maybe 9) provided the D is excellent. He needs to improve, and improve a lot, if he's going to be an entrenched QB capable of leading a team to 10+ win seasons.

He looks like a good one.
