To be fair, the estimated average height of North Korean men is like 5'6. Slam dunks should be worth more.

re: Trip to NYC; Cool M/TV related places to see?

I know you asked for M/TV, so I'm not really addressing your question, but musically there's Electric Lady Studios. It was built by Jimmi Hendrix and is still an active studio. I went because it's where KISS recorded some of there very earliest stuff but it's basically a who's who of legendary artists. Just going off the wiki page it includes:

Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, John Mayer, U2, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and more.

. Also so did Pony just use those items to skip the 7th floor for everyone? Starting book 6 tonight.

Not going to lie, one of the saddest parts in the whole series for me was Pony's dialogue while he was setting up the stuff to skip the 7th floor. The whole special treatment he got from Miriam, "his mother," how he was her "special boy," and how much she meant to him, even in sentient form. For some reason, that made me think of my own dog and the huge soft spot I have for her.

This is a real 2020 tweet from a state legislator in GA in response to a debate. She apparently thought the term coyotes was in reference to actual animals:

“Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can't find their parents for came over through 'cartels and coyotes'?!’” she tweeted. “How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord-----stop talking.”

Incorrect. Everyone in Russia agrees that NATO/EU control of Ukraine is an existential threat to Russia. I would argue Putin has been weak and soft. The next leader would have to be more of a hard liner than Putin in this environment.

I love when people chirp out this line as if NATO countries don’t already border Russia.

An emotional week for English soccer. CP wins the FA Cup, last game at Goodison, Jamie Vardy hitting a mileston goal during a milestone game.

Some teams were good enough to win regular season, conference tournament, CWS.

I mean, to SPC's point - Tanner was well-known for giving 0 shits about the SECT. I get emphasizing the NCAA tournament. But I do think we had teams that could've done both and I personally disliked Tanner's complete de-emphasis of the SECT. But it was also hard to argue some of the results we got in the NCAAT.

Because we never cared about the SECT in those years, and rightfully so.

I mean you can win conference tournaments and win/do well in ncaa tournaments. It never had to be either/or.

Our shite performance in the SECT, regardless of anything else, is something to be hold. I believe we had more CWS wins under Tanner than SECT wins.

Obligatory fuk Steve Spurrier as well...who intentionally left McFadden off his Heisman ballot completely after this:

I mean, McFadden did go for 321 yards and 1 TD (plus 1 passing TD).

...but exactly 1 week later Tebow had 304 yards passing, 120 yards rushing and 7 total TDs vs us. We may have won and lost McFadden's Heisman in a matter of 7 days. :lol:

McFadden could've probably done more but Felix Jones also tore us up that game as has already been touched on.

Either way, we were all over those Heisman highlights.
