2.95+ at LSU. As a Marine, Vietnam vet I took Riflery my last semester to put me over the 3.0 mark. Aced all the tests and was the best shot in the class (of course) but I forgot to actually go to class and old Ms. Norckauer took exception to this and gave me a C! ...

“Idiocracy” ...

You can always find turning points because that is what life is all about. Change. I was born in 1950 and two of the bigger turning points I’ve seen were when education-integration failed to lift minorities and instead brought down overall standards, and the removal of God from schools and thus ...

Uncanny how all the actors cast in The Right Stuff so closely resembled the original Mercury 7 astronauts. Most notably — Ed Harris = John Glenn Fred Ward = Gus Grissom Scott Glenn = Alan Shepard Dennis Quaid = Gordo Cooper Lance Henriksen = Wally Schirra Sam Shepard made a great Chuck...

Not quite but as close as any. Berenthal is coming on strong in a similar vein. ...

Just scanned the pilot “The Cage” and then the two-part “The Menagerie” that was a flashback or sorts. Pike did not die from the radiation exposure 10 years in the future. He was brought back to Talos 4 and the home of the brainiac illusionists and the hot young Susan Oliver. I wonder if th...

Or was it in a flashback episode The Menagerie when Spock is on trial for Pikes return to the planet. Memory a little foggy but all good episodes. And Pike does not die on camera. ...

If I recall, in The Cage — the two-episode pilot for TOS — Pike does not die. Pike just gets blasted and fricked up pretty bad but survives only to be sent back to that brainiac race where he rejoins the equally messed up blonde love interest. Then the pilot was enough of a hit and they had to co...

There are 58,000 or so names on the Vietnam Wall. About 47,000 or so we’re actual combat deaths. There were a lot of truck wrecks, mechanical chopper crashes, illness deaths, homicides, etc. just like a lot of wars. Also, keep in mind that only 10 percent of participants in a war actually see co...

Yep. Happened to me early this week. Sony A80J update. Extensive one. Some apps didn’t work afterward. Read a little and found the reset suggestion. Worked perfect. Up and running better than ever. ...

And, do y’all feel a touch of Firefly? Pike = Malcolm Reynolds?...

Wow and a touch of Close Encounters toning. ...

Better than expected. The woke cast doesn’t cop attitudes and preach. All, surprisingly, likeable. Well written and light. Will watch more. The new Spock growing on me but Anson Moint needs to somehow rediscover his Southern accent from Hell on a Wheels. Lol ...

This has Saban written all over it. He warned Aggies about shitting on his turf. ...

Mexico is great with great people. I think we should just all of a sudden annex them as our 51st state, give them NFL and MLB franchises and throw a big parade. How could they say no? ...

Well, I mean, you could evacuate from NOLA to Mowata and it would be a huge upgrade. ...

And Nakobe Dean will go early tomorrow. ...

Does this mean there’s going to be another big ol’ abandoned building on Florida Blvd in BR? ...

Doesn’t the Olave pick cancel out Jarvis? ...
