I wonder if it was the script or an ad-lib, but "Prosecutor Obonda" (His name for Rupert Bond) is one of the best, most underrated lines in a series full of them. :lol:

Good. That will attract the non-existent market they want and chase away whatever real market remained for such a game.

Brilliant!

Can anyone explain why Cleveland gets to have the Rock n Roll hall of fame and not New Orleans?

I mean, New York, L.A. and even Memphis have greater claim to this site. Jazz? Sure. No one else is close to New Orleans. Blues? Probably could win a fight with Chicago, but it would be a closer fight than Jazz.

Rock? Nah, bruh.

(ETA: And FTR the Rock HOF is about the biggest joke in all of music.)

Federally, they should suspend every penny until an audit and plan for correction and remediation is submitted by the state.

The plan must include prosecutions of folks inside these programs.

Which Led to my favorite cover ever.

To be honest, there are some fantastic covers out there that challenge the material in a way perhaps not anticipated by the composer - Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower, Buckley's Hallelujah, Aretha's Let it Be, and a slew of others.

But, the older I get, the more I think that Tool's cover of No Quarter might be the greatest of all time.

At least one omission I can see - there is no way the last Indiana Jones movie didn't lose at least $200m. If there was honest and transparent accounting, it might be a $300m loser (would be good enough for the #1 spot), but at least $200m and in Top 10 territory.
