Never stick your dick in crazy. And IMO, they don't get any crazier than this bitch.

I thought it was okay until the Aileen Wuornos crossover or intermingling was added. Of all the liberties taken with facts and actual story, the Wuornos addition did absolutely nothing for me.
LSU Board Of Supervisors
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/27/26 at 10:54 am
Again last night, the BOS was again introduced in one of the first half commercial breaks.
WHY?
They've been introduced at every game so far. Yes, generally speaking, we know who you are, and the role you play, so why is it necessary to put you out there week after week?
And while I'm ranting, will Collis the slumlord Temple ever rotate off the board? It seems like he's been there for 20 years.

About Visiting Bands And Performing
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/27/26 at 1:49 am
I don't know if this is still the case, but in 2005 and 2007 my daughters each spent 1 year in Tiger Band. Back then, the full band made one road trip per year, and for that game, they performed at half time, just as A&M did tonight. It was a bus trip where the band members left early on the day of the game and returned home afterwards, usually getting back in the wee hours on Sunday.
For all other road games, a "pep band" of 90 or so students traveled to those sites and stayed in the stands for the duration of the game.
It is disappointing that A&M performs the same show year after year. If you're going to go to the effort of traveling and performing, can't they do something different?

re: Wrestler Steven Borden (son of Sting) with a scary injury.

When you say "fake shite," yes, the outcomes are pre-determined. And yes, punches are pulled, and moves are exaggerated for dramatic effect.
But with that said, being a wrestler today requires a lot of athleticism, mistakes happen, and people do legitimately get hurt. Muscles and ligaments tear, bones break, and performers get concussions. It's not a profession I would choose, but I do appreciate the training and work that those who do wrestle put into the business.

In the Baton Rouge area, call Central Outdoor Power, owned by Austin Meyer. In 2022, my 20 Kw Kohler whole house unit was $13,000. FWIW, I have gas heat, hot water, and a gas stove/oven, so 20 Kw is more than enough for the A/C and the rest of my house.
re: I don't see how the restaurant industry can survive in its current format.
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/24/26 at 9:31 pm to theliontamer
In a GOOD month, a restaurant will net 10% of its sales as profit. That's 10% IF there's no significant food waste or spoilage, no e-coli outbreak, no equipment breakdowns, no building maintenance problems, no labor issues, a customer doesn't "slip and fall," etc.
Imagine if a walk-in refrigerator or freezer fails. Not only does the owner lose a significant amount of ingredients/inventory, but he also has to pay whatever it costs to repair or replace the cooler or freezer.
So on sales of $100,000, the owner makes $10,000 IF none of the above happens, and the problems I listed only scratch the surface.
For a while in the 80's & 90's, lots of athletes and/or famous coaches would buy or invest in restaurants. Every time I'd hear of, say, a Michael Jordan or Mike Ditka buying a restaurant, I'd tell my wife " he had NO IDEA what a potential money pit he's getting into."

Death Of The Pastor's Wife On Netflix
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/24/26 at 5:54 pm
My apologies if this has already been discussed. "Death . . ." is like a car accident you can't help but stare at as you drive by. How this "man of God" managed to attract and keep a congregation is mind boggling. Especially as the story of he and his wife played itself out in real time.
It's not a spoiler to say that the life of John Paul "JP" Miller changed after the death of his wife, Mica, but my question is "what the Hell took so long?"

re: New Orleans (and surrounding areas) prettiest churches?
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/16/26 at 10:35 pm to Cleathecat
Sacred Heart of Jesus is a nice church. The building is not/was not my issue. It is the LARGE painting of Jesus on the church's dome that scared the crap out of me. Even at approximately age 50.
From a Baptist guy, that painting gives off a "if you don't confess your sins to the priest, Jesus is gonna get you" vibe.
Catholics, I mean no offense.

re: What is your Threshold for changing Auto Insurance Companies?
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/16/26 at 10:11 pm to TheLSUDynasty
I had Progressive for 2 - 3 years, then my renewal went up over $1,000 when I'd had no claims.
On the advice of a friend, I called Shelter and got a rate that was less than Progressive before the massive increase.
Call Frank Landry in Zachary. The worst that can happen is that you decide to stay with Progressive.

My first time in this church was for a funeral when I was about 50. I spent the entire time thinking that had I encountered this as a child, Jesus would have terrified me and given me nightmares.
I watched maybe the first 2 - 3 seasons, but nothing else since then. I don't recognize this individual. Outside of Troy Landry, I mainly remember a younger guy who would throw his cigarette butts into the swamp/water. The littering used to piss me off. Smoke 'em if you want, but keep the butts in the boat, damnit!
Why Do Charities Or Solicitors Send Return Address Labels? (A First World Inconvenience)
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/10/26 at 12:48 pm
I've given just enough money to a small number of charities to be inundated with requests from seemingly everywhere and everyone. Each mailing, without fail, includes 1 or 2 sheets of return address labels. Why? As time goes on, I do more and more of my business online, so I need fewer and fewer return labels. In fact, it seems counterproductive to include links and/or QR codes to give online while also including these labels.
At this point, I have enough labels for the rest of my natural life AND the afterlife (assuming God will have some type of postal service). Rhetorical question: who advised all these charities that return address labels were the thing that would encourage people to donate? And if I may shake my fist and shout to the sky, can y'all just stop with this nonsense?
Okay; rant over. I yield the soapbox to the next speaker to air their equally inconsequential concern . . .

Sankey Knew As Of FRIDAY
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/9/26 at 9:31 pm
That we were not putting those guys on our roster. Granted, he learned via a phone call from Rousse, and not from anything in writing, but the bottom line is that SANKEY frickING KNEW.
So what the frick has everything been about since then? What has all this bullshite been about? Is Sankey REALLY so thin skinned, and such a pussy, that he didn't recognize SARCASM over Kiffin's "imagine if we had pro players" comment?
Prior to this sequence of events, I was indifferent towards the commissioner. I didn't especially like him, but neither did I dislike him. Now, though? I DESPISE that a-hole. I hope he contracts an especially painful and irritating disease or condition, and whether he has male or female genitalia, I hope it promptly shrivels and falls off.

Considering that I'm 66, Ms Loughlin would be "age appropriate" for me.
Y'all send her to my house, and I'll promptly send a report when we're finished. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes, starting with the time she walks in, until the time we're putting clothes back on. LOL

Clemson's 1st and 2nd Half Entrances
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/6/26 at 6:58 pm
I may be seeing this through purple and gold colored glasses, but when Clemson ran out for the first half, they seemed excited and enthusiastic.
For the second half, though, the team only jogged or trotted, and there was ZERO energy or enthusiasm. They knew that a beat down had commenced, and that it would only get worse. We had given the faux tigers all they wanted, and more, and given the option, I think a majority would have skipped the second half if it were an option.

Clancy Jury Is At 11 - 1?
Posted by ronniep1 on 9/3/26 at 2:36 pm
The defense attorney ranted about "One juror who REFUSES to follow your instructions about reasonable doubt."
No indication as to which way the jury is leaning. I hope it is guilty, as opposed to the insanity plea.
