@Friday said in The Last Emperor's Patek Philippe: As for the watch, it looks like it could use some cleaning. Yep. It took a licking and kept on ticking.

I’ve heard of that school only from NCAA basketball. And I never even watch it.

It’s kind of her fault, no? How much is a guy going to improve those genes?

I saw a dude at a DC train station once that was EXACTLY "D-FENS' from Falling Down. Height, build, haircut, glasses, shirt, tie, pants, shoes, briefcase, the whole shit. He even looked vaguely pissed off and annoyed. I tried to get a picture but I worried about him maybe having an uzi. My favorite Mike Douglas character ever. Problem was he lost at the end. Ruined the whole thing. he should have prevailed. Here's a question: why do you think Duvall's character decided not to retire at the end? Well, he didn’t really want to to begin with. His wife wanted him to. He was a cop through and through. I always wonder what was the deciding factor, though: the stress over the retirement party, or the case that day, etc.

The sickest joke I've read in a long LONG time. ***NSFW content***click to show I went down on a girl once when I tasted horse semen, I said "Grandma, so that's how you died!"

The pollster also reported that sympathies for Israelis tended to diminish among younger voters. Baby boomers sympathize with Israelis over Palestinians by a margin of 46 points. But Palestinians hold a two-point advantage in sympathies among millennials. Boomers remember WW2. What are the millennials basing their opinions on? Support for Israel is linked with the Republican party in American culture. That can't be a positive, for religious lefties.

I doubt my neighbor Mr Birch had any thought that his curb jockey was a pro-civil rights statement. Not that he would have said it was there for explicitly racist reasons either. He would have just said something really banal like “it’s a nice decoration” or something.

I'm guessing not, but he's probably looking at a 8 game suspension. And he's gooing to be out a lot of money.

They probably worship the devil.

"For you I pine, for you I balsam"

Include me out. Way over my knowledge level. I agree it's an admirable opus, though.

There's an old joke about a new black preacher in town, calling on the members of his church the week before his first service. He looks at the address, walks up to the door and knocks. The door is answered by an elderly lady, who exclaims, "Nat King Cole!" The preacher tells her he's often mistaken for Nat, as he has an uncanny resemblance, but he's her new pastor and would love to see her at church on Sunday. On to the next address, where he knocks on the door and a man and his wife come to greet him. "Nat King Cole!", they exclaim in almost unison. Again, the preacher goes through his same explanation, leaving with an invite to services on Sunday. He walks on down the street, knocking on the front door of the next address on his list. The door is opened by a young lady, a beautiful woman rivaling any Nubian princess, wearing nothing bit a smile and a see-through negligee'. Wide-eyed, she looks at him and says. "Oh, Nat King Cole!" in a voice dripping with honey. The new pastor was singing as he walked through the door and into the house, "Rambling Rose, Rambling Rose...".

@Doctor-Phibes You would be correct with that presumption.

We switched from Cox to FIOS and saved money Then we switched to Direct TV and saved money Then we switched to YouTube TV and saved money Now You Tube jacked up the price again, I'm ready to switch for a better deal

@Jolly said in More on Mayfield: you have to think you're the best or you can't play QB in the NFL. Yes, I can see that. The job brings an insane amount of responsibility. Duty, accountability, representation . . . you must be an effective leader, must be seen as reliable. Last but so much not least, you must be fit and strong enough to do the job with skill and power that is unique in the team. You must be able to get sacked three times in the same game by a freightload of the enemy, and climb to your feet and throw it again and keep throwing it until it's done. You have to walk totally tall. How can you begin to do all that and be all that if you don't believe in yourself? Here's what Tristan Wirfs, one of Brady's protectors (offensive tackle) said about Brady. When asked how he would describe Brady to his kids in the future, he said, “Just gonna tell ‘em he was an old dog. I’ve loved every second of it. He’s a very special person, really special player…Yeah, he surprises me. His old ass threw what, like a 60-yard bomb? He’s awesome. I love him to death.”

@Mik said in Increasingly Frustrated At Home: I’m not sure solar panels can provide that much juice. Plenty more room on my roof. Probably more room on most roofs.

@George-K ….sounds unconditional to me. Apparently it is constitutional: https://www.france24.com/en/video/20230317-the-49-3-how-did-france-s-government-impose-its-pension-reform
