You throw the money in her face and say “I’m walkin’ here”

I saw a photo of a statue of Columbus defaced with red paint and a sign that read “stop celebrating genocide” Something I’ve never understood is that somehow a group of people believe that Columbus “intentionally” brought diseases to the new world. Wokesters are the dumbest smart people around. It was almost 400 years later until Pasteur developed the “germ theory” of disease.

I got a “hate” vote from someone named “bostonbum”. Been a member for 10 years with zero comments and 3 reviews. To quote CJ KENT “I don't get why some of you are so butthurt about the truth.” - Given the Boston moniker, he/she probably is one of the Mount Holyoke profs I spoke of.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

Don’t you mean “Happy Syphilis Day” ? The woke professors at Sarah Lawrence and Mount Holyoke will make sure they tell their students the “terrible Europeans” brought measles, mumps, and smallpox to the New World - but they won’t tell them that Columbus and his crew brought back Syphilis to Europe. Then it spread like wildfire throughout Europe, Asia and North Africa in the great outbreak of 1495. Syphilis cases are on the rise again since reaching a low in 2001. Cases in the US have doubled in the last 5 years. Be careful out there mongering.

Back when I was a kid, the Orioles were a powerhouse - appearing in 3 straight World Series. Brooks & Frank Robinson, Boog Powell, and Davey Johnson. And the team with four pitchers to win 20 games. That will never, ever happen again. McNally, Palmer, Cuellar and Pat Dobson - the one people forget. Even the 90’s Braves with Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine couldn’t accomplish that. The O’s have been terrible for years. Not a fan, but would be nice to see them in a WS again.

“Americans care about football this time of year” — Apparently the WNBA failed to get that memo. This has to be the dumbest move ever. A league struggling to gain traction with the fans scheduled their finals to begin on an NFL Sunday (along with the MLB playoffs). Brilliant!!

Assuming you’re leaving from Louisville, I did a double-take on your route when you mentioned passing thru KC. But google maps confirmed it’s the best route. Years ago I drove from Indianapolis to Rapid City and although Indy is just a few hours north of Louisville our route was completely different. Took 74 NW thru Champaign then hooked up with 80 in Iowa and then 90 all the way across South Dakota. Boring as hell until you got to the Badlands. Nothing but corn in Iowa and wheat in South Dakota.

I am…I said

When I was a kid I had two books that I read over and over - The History of Baseball and The History of Football I remember seeing that score and thought WTF?

^^ Oh sorry. it’s easy to miss that new chat icon. Needs to flash in a bold color for us old guys. Lol

Not a hygiene problem - but the title of the thread reminded me of one hot dancer who I always fantasized about but she was always busy. When I finally did get a room with her it was just a terrible experience. She was just plain weird. She told me about her brother who used to jerk off into a sock and leave it in a corner so she developed a weird phobia about socks. And when I tried to hand her cash she said “what’s this for” as if she thought I was trying to entrap her. Just a plain weirdo. Thankfully not stinky though

“September is always the slowest in south Florida. Hot as fuck here” — You’ve got that right. I spent about 6 weeks in Florida in late August and the month of September talking care of my mother in her final days. (I was in Florida during the September 11 attacks). That helped me make the decision I’m never moving to Florida. Maybe a month or two in January - February but September was BRUTAL

It is kind of interesting that some users have one personality on the board but when you communicate with them directly they are different. Our old friend Alucard was about as weird as a guy as there’s ever been on here. And he came at be a few times. (Mainly because he didn’t have a sense of humor and didn’t understand sarcasm - kind of like Sheldon on Big Bang theory) but in private messages he was easier to communicate with.

File this under “something I learned today” I’ve vaguely followed this thread but I’m not nearly up to date with current politics as many of you. But I kept wondering how can Trump be Speaker? Today I learned “a speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress” Hmmm…interesting obscure fact just like Competitive Art used to be an Olympic sport up until 1948

Al Bundy is great. https://youtube.com/shorts/CyIWgJodRW0?si=NswhOalIxKo14DwV

“Bit” not “big”. Need that temp edit feature

For me, the 70’s were a big of a lost decade for film making. A lot of so-called “classics” I find pretty boring. Except for Jaws. Not a huge fan of The Godfather, Star Wars, Dog Day Afternoon, Chinatown, Network, Taxi Driver, The Deerhunter. And some I probably missed. All kind of overrated for my tastes. The 50’s and 60’s were better in my book

I know I’m in the minority but I like Casino way, way more than Goodfellas. Basically, there’s no plot line to Goodfellas but Casino is a good story.

Not a smart-ass comment - just telling the truth. You’re not going to get an answer. You’ve started 3 discussions (your only 3) about a dancer who you haven’t seen in over ten years. That’s beyond stalkerish. No one is going to aid and abet any such activity. And even if someone did know about “Heidi” (again 10 years ago!!!) most here operate on a quid pro quo basis. You’ve provided zero reviews, no intel. She’s moved on. Probably working as a dental hygienist or something. You need to do the same. Plenty o’ fish.

Just stirring the pot (pun intended) Starbucks announced the closing of 7 stores in downtown San Francisco.

“Lolita” was on TCM a few days ago. I doubt she’s seen that either but it’s more appropriate for the board

“stricter immigration laws (or stricter enforcement of existing) would literally be the end of strip clubs” — This again points out regional differences in clubs. Looks like most of your reviews are in Florida. So that very well be the case. But I could take you to clubs in places like Dayton, OH, Lansing, Flint & Kalamazoo, MI, or Kokomo IN and you won’t find a single immigrant. But I like your idea of granting asylum to Ukrainians!

Muddy - I never communicated with Scrub via PM, but I read the same thing. Apparently in PM’s and in person he was an OK guy. But he always went into attack mode on the board. I think right before he got kicked off he launched an unprovoked attack on Papi - one of the nicest guys on here

This is an unmoderated site where you can be a dick 99% of the time and it’s fair game. But when you’re a dick 100% of the time and contribute very little value (Scrub and Icee) you get band. The Communist CJ Kent should take notice
