A Jaguars & Titans Fan Reaction to Signing Calvin Ridley -- (link) - JD Mar 14, 10:35 [youtube] 1
- The phone gag was something I'd mentioned to Kim. The Jags were apparently doing just that when word came down. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:36
Falcons QB Desmond Ridder traded to the Cards for a bag of baseballs and a PTBNL -- nm* - budice Mar 14, 10:26 1

more like J-Low Ticket Sales amirite -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 10:25 1

Hundreds of Beavers (2023) -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:21 [youtube]
surely they’ve all run just as many front-page pieces this week calling Hur the lying hack that he is? -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 10:21
well at least his perjured testimony against Hunter was bought by the Trumpers fair and square -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 10:14
So are these SpaceX Starships just laying around and made from K'NEX? I dont understand how they can keep failing, what the heck is the cost of these? -- nm - Jovian Mar 14, 10:12 3
- With regards to failure: Same as it was with early Falcon 1s and the failed landing attempts of the early Falcon 9s - JD Mar 14, 10:22 2
  - When there was an entire country (well, a majority) united behind the effort and the appearances of a race, NASA did the same rapid test / fail cycle -- (link) - JD Mar 14, 10:29 [youtube] 1
    - Thanks for explaining. I understand the rockets failing and failing to finally get it right... but its the Starship part that confuses me -- (edited) - Jovian Mar 14, 10:32
On a different note, Kim and I have used DoorDash/GrubHub either three or four straight days. And we had a grocery delivery, too! - David Mar 14, 10:12 1

I blame being so young as the reason I don't known Zevon -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:07 6
- David is right, he's a legend and the very sort whose inclusion lends credibility to something like the R&RHOF -- nm - rollo Mar 14, 10:20
- I have no idea who he is either. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:08 4
  - Werewolves of London (watch Color of Money) -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 10:19 1
    - or An American Werewolf in London -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 10:19
  - He never had a Top 20 hit (NOT that that defines quality by any means). It seems he built a cult following though? (NB: he passed 20 years ago) - ty97 Mar 14, 10:10 1
    - he quit smoking years prior and as soon as he was told he was terminal started smoking again. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Mar 14, 10:26
Oh wow, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees list for 2022 was full of power. You get 5 nominations, who ya got... - MDH Mar 14, 10:01 11
- It shows how much music is not my métier that out of all these lists there is maybe 3 of 4 names I could knowingly hum a song by. - Marlowe Mar 14, 10:38 1
  - Think of it as the 'Music' Hall of Fame. It doesn't limit itself to the rock genre, despite the name. -- (link) - ty97 Mar 14, 10:40
- The 2022 inductees were: Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:15
- They should nominate RATM every year, and never bring them in. Not for fame reasons - they certainly deserve induction - but so... - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:08
- Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie (HM: Carly Simon) -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:05
- Beck, Dolly, Priest, Rage, Eurythmics -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 14, 10:05
- Meh. Seems like the weakest of the three. Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, Eminem, Rage against the Machine, and MC5. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:04
- Benatar. Eminem who I dislike a LOT. His lyrics have not/will not age well. Eurythmics. Warwick. Richie probably as 5th? -- nm* - ty97 Mar 14, 10:04 1
  - Whoa, I missed Dolly on there. She's a 100% for sure. Sorry Lionel. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:04
- Benatar, Simon, Priest, Dolly, and Richie -- nm - Jovian Mar 14, 10:03
- Carly Simon, Pat Benatar, Dolly, Warwick, Eurythmics -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 10:02
anyone not voting for Ozzy should lose their vote. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 09:51 5
- Just an FYI this is him in solo, he's already in as part of Black Sabbath. (I voted for him) -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:55
- I'm counting on voters like you to carry him in ;-) - JD Mar 14, 09:55
- and be shot into the sun -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 09:51 2
  - Keep in mind that this nomination is for his solo career only. - ty97 Mar 14, 09:56 1
    - Bark at the Moon, Blizzard of Oz, Diary of a Madman, No More Tears; I was never a huge fan; but his solo stuff was good -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 09:59
If folks want, here's the 2023 Rock and Roll Nominees. Voters could choose 5 last year. Who ya got? - MDH Mar 14, 09:44 33

  - Sheryl Crow was a given. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 14, 10:03 1
    - in Hell. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:05
  - Sheryl is a terrible choice -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:01
- Iron Maiden, George Michael, Willie Nelson, RATM and A Tribe Called Quest -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:53 2

- George. Willie. Rage. Joy Division. Iron Maiden. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 09:53 1
  - (not my faves, but who i think should get it on that list) -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 09:54
- Kinda struggling to get to solid five that I could really adequately support. - ty97 Mar 14, 09:51 14
  - I'm a huge supported of using every nomination, and could only get to 4. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:56
  - Good God, who set the tybot to maximum Troll today? - David Mar 14, 09:53 12
    - Not trolling. I've legit seen the name and legit have no idea who this person is. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 14, 09:54 11
      - Now I'm morbidly curious. Do you really not know these two songs? - David Mar 14, 09:56 [youtube] 10
        
        This song is not familiar to me. I googled the Werewolves song and I *have* heard that one before. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:00 5
        
        ST has apparently had a similar conversation before. -- (link) - David Mar 14, 10:03 [Backboard] 3
        
        Hey, I know almost none of the names mentioned in that thread too! -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:06 2
        
        Okay, so your terrible music opinions are based in ignorance. That's...better. - David Mar 14, 10:10 1
        
        I have many terrible music opinions that are built on firm knowledge as well! -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:11
        
        plus it also led to a Kid Rock song; so more points! -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 10:02
        
        And this one. -- (link) - David Mar 14, 10:00 [youtube]
        
        I mean I dont know that song. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 14, 09:58 2
        
        same. Werewolve of London was the only song of his I could name -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 14, 10:01 1
        
        Y'all obviously didn't watch Letterman. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:03
- these were my votes: -- (pic) - mud Mar 14, 09:51 [Attachment] 2

Danny Huston is no Michael Wincott. And that's me, not Spock, saying that. -- nm - David Mar 14, 09:43 3
- I feel like I've hammered this drum enough, but thank you. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 09:44 2
  - Why do they have an old guy in a suit fighting The Crow? - David Mar 14, 09:46 1
    - agreed -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 14, 09:49
lol Bobby Goldbrick threatening to go full Sore Loserman -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 09:43
ironically, a bunch of Trumpy hedge fund billionaires turning TikTok into XTok would probably do more to kill it with the youngs than China ever could -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 09:34 3
- Meta and Zuck sure would appreciate it. -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 14, 09:40
- [fingers crossed] -- nm - mud Mar 14, 09:38
- Heh. -- nm - JD Mar 14, 09:35
That all being said on B2, Traitors UK S2 episode 4 drops tonight on Peacock. -- nm - Jovian Mar 14, 09:31 1
- It's the better version. I hated when they used reality show people on The Amazing Race and I hate it with the US version of this. - Krusty Mar 14, 09:44
Inspired by B2: Here's the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees. Voters can choose up to 7. Who are you picking? - MDH Mar 14, 09:23 38

  - Which one of these do you think is yacht rock? -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Mar 14, 10:40
  - Kim might mail you a bomb now. -- nm - David Mar 14, 09:48
  - more legitimate than pop singers (Carey) or disco groups (Kool) -- nm - mud Mar 14, 09:43 9
    - Mariah and Mary J are by far the most deserving two people on that list. You don't like pop, fine, but don't be silly. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:44 8
      - I love MJB, but she's bottom tier on that particular list. -- nm - David Mar 14, 09:51 2
        
        You're tall when you're wrong. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:53 1
        
        and when I'm right! -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:01
      - it's called the "Rock & Roll" Hall of fame. There's too much disco & pop in it. Don't call me silly just because I'm a little older and wiser (and was - mud Mar 14, 09:48 4
        
        It's been the Music Hall of Fame for a very very very long time and everyone knows that. Don't be pedantic. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:53 2
        
        stop the name-calling. We're all expressing our opinions here -- nm - mud Mar 14, 09:56 1
        
        I'm definitely not name calling and don't mean to imply that I am. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:02
        
        From the very first day it was never just rock and roll artists despite the name. It's poorly named. It should just be a music - Krusty Mar 14, 09:52

  - Not Oasis. -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 14, 09:26 8
    - Oasis/DMB are bands I fundamentally do not understand/get. But I can't deny what they accomplished. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:31 7
      - I couldn't stand Oasis during their run because they're such asshats, but the sound has *really* held up over time. -- nm - David Mar 14, 09:54 1
        
        This coming from you is everything to Beatles fans on this board -- nm - rollo Mar 14, 10:04
      - Oasis, who I don't care for, at least had an impact on music overall. DMB just...exists. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:32 4
        
        But are globally HUGE -- nm - JaxSean Mar 14, 09:42 2

        DMB is bigger than Nickelback -- nm - JaxSean Mar 14, 10:02
        
        Odd fact: Dave Matthews is like the 2-3rd largest private landholder in the state of VA. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:39
- ugh. Frampton, Jane's, and the last five there -- nm - mud Mar 14, 09:25
oh that bill has no hope of passing, but glad someone's talking about it and putting it out there anyway. - ty97 Mar 14, 09:19
ST poll: do you currently have a side hustle? it does not have to be ultra profitable but are you bringing in some cashola besides your full time job? -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 14, 09:17 15
- only creatively, nothing for any real money as yet -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 10:09
- yes -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:01
- Sorta? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:52
- Nope -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:37
- Yes - JaxSean Mar 14, 09:35
- Nah, all of my side hustles *cost* me money ;-) -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 09:34 2
  - I think those are just called hobbies and interests. Mine do the same thing. -- nm - sycor Mar 14, 10:10
  - heh -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Mar 14, 09:34
- No but I might need to figure one out, or get a part time gig. Not that we are struggling, but when OT went away last year, it was a pretty big it. - sycor Mar 14, 09:27
- Yes and yes. Selling mostly shirts through Amazon. -- nm - J Mar 14, 09:26 2
  - Nice. What type of shirts? -- nm - JD Mar 14, 09:36 1
    - Just graphic shirts, or long sleeves or hoodies. My designs or other that I’ve bought. Most don’t even get looked at but some do sell often. - J Mar 14, 09:39
- No. While you all *should* be paying me for my amazing posts here, I offer them to you as charity because I'm kind. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:21 2
  - such a giver -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 14, 09:51 1
