Thanks for pressure testing our tanks, Ukraine....
I can take losing, but outright giving up and quitting on the field? Nah, miss me with this shite....
Ugh. I would hope this would be a wake up call of a game, but it won't be. :usa:...
Thank you post. You are my very favorite post. You're the best. :usa:...
More of that and less of that other shite y'all have been doing. :usa:...
Ugh, guess I can get some extra work in today. So much for a lazy Saturday....
[quote]Get the story behind him? That’s mutilating it. Tolkien purposely made Tom’s background ambiguous and mysterious. There’s nothing these crop of activist writers @ Amazon can do that can add to or enhance Tolkien’s characters.[/quote] Bombadil was a holdover from another version that eventu...
Slavery was a big reason -- probably what united the southern gentry and then the states. I don't think it would have been on the scale as the War Between the States, but we would have seen many states and even counties opting to secede at different times....
Here's [link=(https://youtu.be/7fh-VYhiSUE?si=rkx3ARIzzoZmOgF6)]Goal: The Journey Begins[/link] It was supposed to be a trilogy with the lead ending up at the Cup, but he got too fat and the third was just bad....
If you haven't see A Shot at Glory, you might enjoy. Kind of a Welcome to Wrexham story of an American (Michael Keaton) buying a lower division Irish club and the old school Manager (Robert Duval) trying to push them through the division. A young Cole Hauser is the young American goalie. Former R...
Always looking for good soccer movies. I think my two favorites are probably the first in the Goal series and a Shot at Glory. Of course Green Street is an adjacent one. Any good recommendations?...
[quote]I will say this with all honesty. CC is the women's version of Pete Maravich when he was drafted by the Hawks. Signed a record (at the time) contract, and was deemed the great white hope by many. His black teammates, and those within the league were jealous of how much money Atlanta was payin...
They are doing the same to her as they did to Bird and Maravich -- especially Maravich. She came in with a big arse contract most of them can only dream of, and they are going to punish her for it. She's got to do what Bird did and come up swinging, or it won't stop....
[quote] I am heading to an estate sale right now and I decided to buy something for one dollar. How long would it take me to turn that one dollar into enough money to pay for family of four to go to Japan? I will deduct all Ebay fees and shipping and just use my net profit for each item and snowbal...
[quote] Octavian learned from Julius Caesar's mistake.[/quote] But you bring up a good point. The DNC can't let the GOP win now. Trump will come for heads. He's not so high minded an individual to value the greater good over revenge. He's normal. He's not a saint. ...
I am still baffled at how you can convict a man on 34 counts when no one ever explicitly spelled out the fricking crime. Kind of like a civil judgement for fraud when both parties of the contract said, "No, we're good."...
