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.

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. -

I expect a stock market crash soon, a slight rebound and then an even bigger crash. Two years ago I already moved all my mutual funds to bonds just before the crash when Covid started and oil went up, maybe a day late on that actually. So I had mostly bonds already but all mutual funds I was investing in for the last two years I set up late last night and moved all to bonds and all future investments to bonds. Then I just found this article when I googled "stock market bubble" https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-indicator-211-percent-stock-market-bubble-asset-crash-2022-1

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.

Don't let what others think affect your emotions. Don't give a fock, so you don't give away your power. -

Name a movie sequel that was better than the original
Gepetto replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
Agree with Terminator 2 and Empire Strikes Back. Also Godfather II The originals were all good movies. They probably don’t make sequels for originals that aren’t good though. -
Mine too, and my favorite player, and I cheer for the Chiefs because of him. He was a real value this year in my fantasy auction draft and we can keep 3 players for one year so I'll have him next year at the same good price too. I have Rashee Rice too and he was cheap too.
