    Straw Wars

    Look, I know its now SOP to trash one of the hugest film franchise in the world. So I'm going to forego things like language diversity and stuff like that. Even if every soldier in The Empire sounds like he's about to root for Man U. Have they just given up entirely? They show spaceships just nose diving into each other after being blowed up; Since when? Gravity much? And they've got people literally on foot running across an imperial destroyer or whatever. Again, gravity? But also, oxygen? That Daisy chick is bangable though.
  2. There's a lot to dislike him for. Look up RC and Mindy McCready. Guy is a sleaze.

    Great Pi Day Deal

    Rewards members at 7-Eleven can enjoy any pizza they have for $3.14. no kidding. You don't have to buy anything else, just plug in your rewards number and they'll even cook your pizza for you. Great deal for three bucks. I see their Pizza these days is definitely able to compete with most of the chains.b and hell, we got to place a block away from there where one slice will set you back almost $10. Ridiculous. My pie is their ultimate meat jalapeno. $3.14. That's less than the price of a candy bar these days. Hope you enjoy! Think it may be good through the weekend. Not sure.

    Hey Southerners - Mix in a salad for Pete’s sake

    Probably doesn't help that the entire Gulf Coast considers Ranch dressing to be their favorite beverage.

    Godfather: Coda

    Saw this title on my TV Guide scroll. Is this new? Is it part 3 with new content and better editing? () Had never heard of that before. Anybody see/watch this?

    Tomorrow Is National Pi Day

    Pi is a really kick butt value. Seriously, the fact it applies to literally every circle is darn useful in so many disciplines.

    Serious Linguistic Questions

    So one of the things on the nearly endless list of things that piss me off are romance languages. I hate them. For one very good reason. The whole masculine and feminine thing. I mean, it's just stupid. Wait a minute so the table ismasculine but the chairs are feminine? Or vice versa? Makes no sense whatsoever. In English and other languages, you have a common predecessor, THE. Or whatever. We're not trying to figure out whether it should be Tho, La,El,Los, Las, etc. Linguistically and practically, it's worthless. Sandwich=El Sandwich. Great, now you speak Spanish. But that's just background. French is just as goofy. How does that chit work now that everybody & everything can just randomly choose their pronouns? What if the chair identifies as a girl? The table as 'they"? The sammich as an Otter? Really, I don't know how that works now. They should just get rid of precedent articles all together . My .02. Vaya Con Huevos

    I Got The Beta Alanine Tingles

    You know, I didn't mind until I heard the guy behind me say "I am your Father".

    Return of the Jedi

    It's on deep basic cable again tonight. I just realized something; The Ewoks and the Minions share a common language!

    Oppenheimer - Latest Christopher Nolan Movie

    While I'm talking about movies. I see where another 400 lb butt ugly black woman won an oscar in a movie no one saw. I think we should officially name that the Precious award. Because pretty much if you're a 400 lb fat black woman, you're a shoe in for an oscar.

    Oppenheimer - Latest Christopher Nolan Movie

    So, I've seen about 10 minutes of Barbie. It's on cable this month. What a fetid piece of simplistic crap. Gee, who would have guessed that Barbie is going to go through an existential crisis? Who would have thought that the men were going to be represented as vain, dimwitted, mansplainers. Now, that alone wouldn't bother me. Women and girls need that stupid s*** as much as we need fast and furious movies. (?) But, for f*** sake, this thing should have been straight to cable or maybe betamax. There is no reason whatsoever that it should be mentioned in Oscar's talk. Maybe for song? I don't know. But really, that's all it is. Just overused worn out tropes in succession. Sure as hell shouldn't be mentioned in even the same week as oppenheimer. Not sure why Margot Robbie wanted to do this.

    Return of the Jedi

    Just read today that annoying Brat who played young Anakin is in a full-on loony bin. And yeah, Mandalorian was great.

    Kirk Cousins

    is a little ridiculous to think Kirk Cousins just fell into the money he’s made. But I know that sentiment is out there, so I figured, in the wake of the ex-Viking procuring a four-year, $180 million deal in Atlanta, this would be a good time to kill that narrative. Cousins’s earning power isn’t a result of luck. Rather, it’s the result of him betting on himself. In 2015, when Cousins first became Washington’s starter, the team offered him a middling deal to stick around long-term. Cousins turned it down, then turned down a similar offer after the team franchised him in March of ’16. So he played on the $19.953 million tender, and another tag at 120% of that ($23.951 million) in ’17, when the team again fell short of what the franchise tenders dictated he make in guaranteed money. Cousins agreed to a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons. Matt Krohn/USA TODAY Sports Gutsy moves by Cousins, who incurred 32 games of injury risk (and really 48, if you count 2015), and the risk that his play would go the wrong way. In doing the deals, Cousins pushed things to a point where the tag, at 144% of the 2017 number, wasn’t palatable anymore for the team, which allowed for him to enter the market, and have the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings bid on him. [ 2024 NFL Free Agency: Latest News & Analysis ] From there, the three-year, $84 million fully guaranteed deal by Minnesota, because of its structure and length, set the stage for another three-year deal essentially fully guaranteed, the second of which had a big back end cap number that, again, took the tag off the table as an option for the Vikings as they headed into this offseason. Anyway, that’s a lot of financial jargon for you. Just know this—Cousins getting here didn’t come without risk. He should be applauded for taking it. • •

    UK Bully Breed Ban

    I have never had a negative experience with a bully breed type of dog. It really is about the owner. I find them to be loving, approachable almost to a fault, goofy and docile. Honestly, I'll guarantee you Immigrants to England have caused more death & tragedy. Ban them.

    Geriatric Joe’s State of Union Address

    Repubs are saying it's their worst ever. https://www.salon.com/2024/03/08/one-of-our-biggest-disasters-ever-fking-losing-it-over-katie-britt-sotu-response/ It's funny, the minute she started speaking, I thought of Bobby Jindals creepy, sing-songy disaster years ago. ("Let me tell you a story...") Turns out, I wasn't alone.

    Two Have To Go ( Cowboy Movies)

    Kim Darby rooned True Grit. Glen Campbell wasn't much better. The remake of Grit was so much better. And - Young Guns 2. Or 1. Either way.
