The Big-0, Oscar Robertson - played all over the court, ran the offense but could score in a lot of different ways and carried his team with cool composure. They didn't have a 3 point line back then but he was regarded as a deep threat who could also drive so that opened up a lot of assists. ...
[quote]Then he basically disappeared from the public life outside of a small handful of appearances.[/quote] Carson was kind of odd in that he wasn't a very friendly or social person off the set. But as soon as those curtains opened up and the flood lights turned on he was so witty, outgoing and...
What is that, three of his last five starts he has taken a no hitter past the 5th inning? That's got to be pretty rare. ...
[quote]How the frick did their legal team think this was a better response than admitting an employee did this contrary to airline protocol?[/quote] They probably have a boilerplate response form to the lawsuit that raises every available legal defense and rather than read through them all and che...
As a nation we use 8 million barrels of gas a day. Let's say the northeast (where the reserves will be emptied) is responsible for 1 million of that. He's basically selling an extra day's worth of gas cheap into the local supply. This won't put a golf ball dimple in prices at the pump. But...

re: "Migrants" BBQing a dog in Ireland

Posted by AUFANATL on 5/21/24 at 4:16 pm
A lot of migrants in Ireland are from Eastern Europe. I remember when I went over there a decade ago there was a small uproar over the fact that they had discovered the spawning rivers that Salmon swim upstream in to spawn and were basically trapping them all in nets (easy pickings when they ar...

re: Roanoke VA for retirement?

[quote]Tennessee is your answer. Seasons, stuff to do, taxes, etc.[/quote] I love Tennessee but "taxes" are not favorable to retirees. No income tax means it's a great place to work but they make up a lot of that revenue with higher taxes elsewhere (sales, investments, etc.) which hits non-wo...
We used to play a game called "roofball" back in the '80s but it was different. You formed two teams and had a starting line. One player would toss a volleyball up the roof and then the next player up for the opposing team would have to volley it back along the roof and so on. If a player faile...
The problem is that only the craziest of shitlibs have pursued journalism as a career in the modern digital age so now we have to wade through piles of political propaganda and driveling nonsense like this just to find out current events, And even if you make efforts to avoid the polluted sourc...

re: 80s Rewind channel on LG TVs

Another good source of free entertainment is your local public library. Now that streaming dominates a lot of people have donated huge collections of DVDs to the library, not just movies but shows, anthologies, etc. It's weird that people now have an aversion to sticking a physical disk into a m...

re: 5 13-17 SEC teams left

Posted by AUFANATL on 5/19/24 at 2:50 pm
They have to watch other conference tournaments for bid stealers too. SEC bubble teams have strong arguments but it's all for naught when dealing with an automatic qualifier. East Carolina, UCONN, UCSB and UC Irvine, Northeastern, Dallas Baptist, Indiana St, San Diego plus the other locks are ...
[quote]Yes, they hunted them and chased them on horseback to get close enough to kill them. They sure as hell didn't just stroll up to the herd and take their pick.[/quote] The indians hunted buffalo for thousands of years before Europeans and horses showed up on the scene. One of the most ...
[quote]Of course there could be more to this story[/quote] I think another secret family qualifies as "more" here... :lol: ...
Don't know anything about the burning but when I was in New Zealand many years ago my bus driver was complaining that Manuka Honey (which had exploded on the local market and costs five times as much as regular honey) was destroying New Zealand farms because all of the farmers realized they could ...
[quote]Massachusetts ranks higher than Hawaii. WTF[/quote] Hawaii has a lot of poor people - aka the native population. ...
[quote]Not sure why you Boomers are so mad that Bidenomics is working?[/quote] Good luck convincing the Democrat base and the undecided middle class that the economy has never been better by pointing to the DOW. Most Americans, who have minimal if any participation in the stock market, are rea...
She didn't [u]want[/u] to go to Prom. She wanted to get [u]attention[/u] for being "different" so she masqueraded as a "man" and drew a response and then ran to the press. She got everything she ever dreamed of and more. Don't feel bad for her....
I mean assuming the stat reporting is accurate (and as with most things it probably is not) then there is a logical explanation for a decline: the pool of potential victims has been reduced by previous OD deaths. There are only so many drug addicts out there. The more that die, the fewer rema...

re: When did you hit mid life crisis

Posted by AUFANATL on 5/15/24 at 9:53 am
For me it has been the onset of health problems. I spent most of my life never needing a doctor and only went in for the occasional physical or teeth cleaning and always got the thumbs up. Then things started falling apart. Lots of things. Despite me being thin, exercising at the gym several...
Are we talking one season or an era? For one season the 18-0 Patriots and 1991 UNLV have to be up there. But that UNLV team won it all the year before and the Patriots ring collection speaks for itself. Another that came to mind were those John Robinson USC teams. They split a title in 197...
