I get that Rusty Cage song in my head when I see this thread title.

Trump's World (Trump News & Discussion Thread)
Gepetto replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
That's fair. I want to know why he's making a deal for beef with Argentina, when our farmers need those beef sales, they're finally making decent money on beef and new Trump does he beef deal with Argentina. edit: Trump claims he's trying to help bring down beef prices to help beef grocery prices, and also that the assistance is contingent on Milei’s party winning next week’s legislative elections, however. -
Trump's World (Trump News & Discussion Thread)
Gepetto replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
It says why in your link. President Trump announced on Thursday that he has called off the deployment of federal immigration agents to San Francisco, just as they were beginning to gather at a Coast Guard base in the Bay Area. Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he had stopped the federal action in San Francisco at the request of friends who live in the Bay Area and who vouched for the work of the city’s Democratic mayor, Daniel Lurie. Mr. Trump specifically cited Marc Benioff, the chief executive of Salesforce, who set off a local firestorm for initially saying he wanted the National Guard in San Francisco, and Jensen Huang, the president and chief executive of Nvidia. Mr. Benioff later apologized and said he did not want Guard troops in the city. Mr. Trump said that federal officials were “preparing to ‘surge’ San Francisco, California, on Saturday,” until his friends asked him to stop because Mr. Lurie was making “substantial progress.” Mr. Lurie said in a statement that Mr. Trump had told him of the reversal in a phone call late Wednesday night. He said the two men spoke about San Francisco’s recent drop in crime, the return of tourists after the pandemic and the city’s booming artifi -

Mamdani ate a burrito off a seat on the subway in NY with a fork and knife

Was it an illegal burrito that crossed the southern border? -
Maybe you've heard the song, if you listen to it: released in January 1997 in the US AI Overview "Your Woman" by White Town was a massive hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart and charting internationally in countries like Spain and Iceland. It was a significant success in the US as well, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also notable for being one of the first major hits recorded entirely in a bedroom studio, which contributed to its "novelty hit" status for some listeners.

Actually it's not surprising at all. I give him a lot of credit for speaking up about the reality of what the Democratic Party is doing. -
What's your most prized collectable?
Gepetto replied to The Elevator Killer's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah, mine are stored in plastic boxes with lids and the best cards in my safe. I just like owning them for some reason. Now I collect carded Star Wars The Vintage Collection figures and sealed in box starships, etc. The figures are in plastic boxes too. I pretty much got every carded figure from all the movies and shows all purchased just this year. I keep a checklist with prices paid. For the cards I keep a list in Excel also, with sold prices, except I need to go and update a lot of those prices. I base prices on ebay sold prices but haven't been as good about updating those for a while now. At least that 1986 Fleer Basketball graded set is desirable and really nice, so even though you don't have cash for it, you have it which is pretty great. -
It did not.

What's your most prized collectable?
Gepetto replied to The Elevator Killer's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah, I actually sold a few high dollar cards I got graded PSA 10 during Covid but I bought a lot more and got credit card debt that I finally paid off. And I lost out on a lot of money by holding almost all cards I have which is a ton. My collection is still worth a lot of money but not as much as it was. I should have sold everything, I could have upgraded to a significantly bigger new house. I mean I guess I could still today or anytime but it's harder to sell now with less interest from potential buyers. -

He did bother me again but not too much, as we avoided each other. He didn't want to be my friend. Lived right across the street too.

Yes, I punched my bully in the face. He came to school with a black eye and told the other kids it was caused by a door knob. Everyone knows he's a d-bag, he still is, even to his parents (since passed) and sisters, one who committed suicide.

Cool list. I hate 311 though, even though they're from the city I live in, just don't like their music, but a lot of people did like them. Would by AIC and that Social Distortion song is a great choice. I like the Pixies. I would choose Radiohead - Karma Police, and Alice in Chains - Them Bones - from free agency, just thinking off the top of my head.

"No Kings" Day 2.0. Revised estimate 5.5 million, with an upper bound of 8.7 million.

What if he went to Burger King and put on a paper King crown? And if there was a picture of him wearing it? Yeah, think about that. -

The "No Kings" protests appear to have been local demonstrations, with reports of "thousands rally at 'No Kings' demonstrations across US" and "No Kings Day 2.0' rally brings out thousands in Charlottesville". -

90s Alternative Draft Tiebreaker - jerryskids vs Herbivore - VOTE FOR THE WORST
Gepetto replied to BiffTannen's topic in The Geek Club
I listened to all 40 songs this time before voting. Beastie Boys - Sabotage alone (and also James - Laid) almost saved Herbi, but too many songs I didn't like. Jerry's songs I think I've heard too many times, but have to give them credit for what they were in the time period they came out. -
Today on 90s on SiriusXM I heard Tom Petty - Free Fallin (1990) - but I wouldn't count that for this draft since it's rock. I also heard Snow - Informer, great song that I have on my usb playlist. Not sure if that is considered alternative rock. It's 1990s though. Finally heard Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me (1999) I saw The Sundays were taken in this draft, but think 10,000 Maniacs didn't have a song chosen.
