About 20 or 25years ago I went to a Tom Petty concert once, had seats at the end of the row where there was an aisle across the other center section, just happens that one of those security dudes that sit facing the crowd rather than the stage sat down almost elbow to elbow beside me. Finally about ten minutes passed when I told him that if he was going sit there all night, he was going to have to behave. Imagine the look on the 20 something when a 50 something told him that. I had never been one who kept with what band performed what song. When Tom and The Heartbreakers started the show (after I spotted the huge wooden bong on the stage). I knew every would be cool, so I elbowed the 20 something and asked him if he had a light, which he did, When the women started throwing their bras on the band (I don't think as a hunk), and on stage where making the music and the (albeit they were leaning the way of homely). I finally caught on that not only a concert of their music but a performance of their show. They did very well at keeping engaged with their music and performance. I was squinty eyed all night to show the crowd how they should be acting. I thought it was a very successful night. But neither Tom nor The Heartbreakers would offer me a hit from that big wooden bong. They'll be on their own next time. All it would have taken is for them to offer me a hit off that wooden bong.... Fuggem!

Won't even go into the time I went to a David Allen Coe concert in a tobacco warehouse in the middle of the winter. I had no control over the patrons at all. Just picture the patrons who would go to a David Allen Coe concert in Bowling Green in the middle of the winter, just use your imagination fully and you will imagine part of it. When David took a break, there was a man took the mic and said that he was pushing to get marijuana legalized in KY, I thought he was a comedian until he started passing a donation bucket thru the crowd. There was a pamphlet with with his flyer with his name and address...Gatewood Gilbreth, At such and such number on Cheapside Drive. I had never heard of Gatewood and the Cheapside Drive made me skeptical. A few years later here in Owensboro they had a primary where all of the statewide candidates got to speak and Gatewood was there. Don't remember the R who was running governor (the one who was giving jobs to friends and family for way over what they had paid) and I was heckling him until the guys in nice clothes, with an earbud in their ear and a coiled-up wire running down their arm started coming nearer to me then I started moving closer to Gatewood. It ended with Gatewood giving an autographed copy of "Last Man Standing".

Find it refreshing to have a coach who understands what this is all about. The people of Kentucky instead of himself.
Cal understood. He just got fat, lazy, & complacent.
I knew we were in trouble when that 2012 locker room decor was never refreshed 5 years after the deed. Rested laurels and whatnot.

* Still waiting for the announcement from UKO....
"I'm not gonna bulls*** y'all, I was drunk the last 20 years. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. I apologize to CatPaw, all the posters, and this country I love so much for this message board. I'll let y'all know how rehab is I hear it's super fun."
Would explain a LOT, actually.
* Random celebrity I inexplicably hate: Jack Black.
For those of you who enjoy any of his work -- what in TF is wrong with you?
* 10 of 11 wins for the Junior Circuit. Ugh.
* If I'm the GM here's the Reds I'd be happy to trade, in order......
1> Alexis Diaz (should have happened last year)
2> Frankie Montas
3> Jeimer Candelario
4> Lucas Sims
5> Sam Moll
* Taylor Swift is coming to town for THREE nights around Halloween. Lass and I are trying to rent our house out and GTFO town, in exchange for a princely sum of money, of course. So I joined a few facebook groups to promote our rental. My. Freaking. Lord. These bitches are absolute maniacs.
* I'm not one for red carpet affairs and such, but my man crush Elly shows up at the All Star game in pink suit, all kinds of bling, and a black cowboy hat. Played the game in custom made pink Louis Vuitton cleats.
STOP HAVING FUN YOU PEOPLE!!!!
* I don't remember voting for poet laureate, or any form of transparent, democratic process. Are we sure this Silas House guy is qualified?
* My dog, she kicked it.

**** the NBA.
Jordan Kilganon. Looks like a ****in sickly barista but dunks with his feet.
Mac McClung would like a word.
Jack Black is indeed, effing horrible. Zero comedic delivery, just pantomimes everything.
Anyone pick up anything cool for Prime day?
I got some reading material. The Isaacson bio on Elon Musk, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Edible Wild Plants.
Almost got this, still might

For in-game college dunkers, I remember when Ismail Muhammad set the world on fire for about 2 months. He was incredible.

Thinking about getting a beginner drone during Prime Days. Started looking last week for vacation next week but scared I'll crash the thing in the ocean or sound, plus prob not a good idea to start with coastal winds. Figured I could play with it and also use to see the top of the house, gutters, etc.
The Gourds came up a few weeks ago from the convo on the Gin & Juice cover. Found out today the entertainment for a conference I have in Asheville Thur/Fri is the lead singer with his new group. Prob only going to be 100-125 peeps in there so I'm debating yelling "Gin & Juice" after every song.
Jack Black makes Ben Stiller look like George Carlin. He's awful. And his "band" is even worse.

Jack Black was good in School of Rock. Pretty meh on him otherwise.
Jack Black has one note.
I'll give him:
Saving Silverman
School of Rock
Tropic Thunder
'Peaches' from Super Mario Bros
-not on purpose... after the Cal to ucla bullshit I said he was dead to me. Apparently I meant it.
-jack black is really good in supporting/ensemble roles... when he's the main dude he's Pauly shore.
^one notable exception is nacho libre.
He’s tremendous in “High Fidelity.” I enjoyed “Orange County” a bit.
Listened to an old episode of Pauly's pod about Rodney Dangerfield. Only listened because his widow and Dice were on there giving more color. He still has some of that "weasel" persona but he was actually tolerable.
Doubt I'll ever listen to another but I think after 50 yrs he has somewhat dropped most of that schtick.

Jack Black was good in High Fidelity, some early 00s comedy movie with Tom Hanks kid that I liked, saving Silverman, Nacho Libre, school of rock, Mario Bros, just did a good hit me baby one more time remake, has a good voice, doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, etc. So ya, I’m a fan of his.
Wife making ALL the plans for Napa for Labor Day in between our other 1 million plans (think we’re going to a beach in Delaware next week?) she’s trying to get a reservation for The French Laundry which appears to be like getting a ticket for a Taylor Swift Concert on Ticketmaster. Ridiculous amount of wineries. Looks fun I guess but a little overwhelming, especially considering we’ll probably be wine drunk with no clue what’s going on by 2PM everyday

How low is the bar when you’re liking Jack Black? That’s like playing handball off a curb or having to look up to see down.
Next you’ll be telling me Gwyneth Paltrow should have an Oscar.

Black was the weakest part of Tropic Thunder by a lot. I would have gotten Philip Seymore Hoffmann or someone for that role.
A nice Adidas black velour 3 white stripe, full on NJ mobster style, track suit.
Jack Black insists upon himself, IMO.
Ron has mastered the art of the humble brag.
This is GYERO.. This place was built on the humble brag and ultimate hyperbole.
Delaware beaches are Ok, not great. Recommend Fenwick Island, DE. Underdeveloped and quiet. Rehoboth/Dewey suck.
One rec… Fagers Island - OC Md…. Go for drinks and dinner at sunset. 1812 Overture blaring and timed to sun’s daily last hurrah. Epic.
These dudes couldn’t handle the bluster of 2006 BBdK.
