  1. I actually like the idea of a Space Force. We have too much valuable material in space, low orbit or beyond, and both Russia and China have developed satellite-killing capabilities. It was time. Crazy idea by Trump... but I think that's the ONLY idea of his that I actually bought into 100%.
  2. I think I'm just too impatient. Even when I was in Michigan I was on NY/ NJ time.... fast and furious. Hyperspeed.
  3. Yeah I don't understand the nuances of a Texas drawl versus a Georgian drawl versus an Appalachian drawl... Southern is probably a catch-all for me but I'm certain there are some variations by region...
  4. Also, she's been a zero in politics previously. She may be an inspirational candidate, but I heartily disagree she's the dream candidate. Oprah is just as qualified. And their qualifications are the same as Donald Trump. = Zero. Not interested.
  5. Best buddy in the Army was from Boston... Couldn't tell... he neutralized his accent. Unless the Celtics were on... then it came out thick and furious... "Bawston Celtics ah on" Larry Bird and Robert Parish and... all of a sudden I couldn't understand half of what he was saying...
  6. Nope. Deep south drawl is the worst. 10 minutes to finish one sentence as they drag out each word over a 10-second lazy drawl... Talk about stupid sounding. (OK, I'm exaggerating just a bit... my apologies to our southerners on here... I know that slow of speech doesn't mean slow of mind...). But oh how I hate that southern drawl...
  7. Geez... You just can never stop spewing absolute horseshit... I gotta put you on ignore... I can't stomach your lies anymore.
  8. "You reap what you sow..."
  9. Detroit Red Wings, 16-15-3, 4-10-1 AWAY ESPN+ 1/8 10:30 PM Los Angeles Kings, 16-13-5, 10-8-2 HOME
  10. "Oh, he doesn't really mean that..." I've been listening the past 40 years. Mostly unintentionally. Yes... He does mean what he says. How can people be so damned stupid?
  11. Postponed yet again...
  12. Gold. Absolutely accurate. And completely contemptible and grotesque. And even more so... he has a dedicated following in the U.S. I am disgusted beyond all measurement.
  13. Detroit Red Wings, 16-15-3, 4-10-1 AWAY ESPN+ 1/6 10:00 PM Anaheim Ducks, 18-11-7, 11-4-4 HOME
  14. Larkin takes that back 5-2
  15. I think I've said something along those lines... Previously.
  16. So you're a fascist?
  17. Truth spoken by Tater...
  18. This is closer to what I just mentioned...
  19. I think it's the opposite issue. As you pointed out in later posts, English doesn't "genderize" nouns, just pronouns. "Latinx" is another lazy Americanism that instead of following proper Romance language form with Latina and Latino, gets lazy and says "Latinx" in order to avoid having to use either or both. That's what is upsetting to Latinos (I think), our laziness and inappropriateness.
  20. Not only am I on board with that but impatience is slowly starting to creep in... When's the trade deadline? I think there's another month to go while I agonize...
  21. If the question is: Can he win a game or two if necessary to keep us in the playoff picture or even win a playoff game... There's no way to answer that until this team has better talent. If we have a defense that can keep playoff-level teams to less than 20 points, and Boyle can score 21+ points against a playoff caliber defense, even if it doesn't look pretty, then yes. But, we're not at that point yet, where we can actually answer that question.... Everyone else above covered the other issues surrounding the backup QB...
  22. On Jupiter? I'm good with that.
  23. You're speaking to a real He-Man... so you need to speak in the same language. Otherwise, He-Man is not capable of understanding advanced language. I find speaking in Neanderthal usually does the trick: "Me big man. Me tough man. Me throw 60-pound rocks all day. Me tough man. You woman crybaby from stitch wound? Not tough man. Crybaby woman. Boohoo. Stitch wound and cry. Not tough man like me."
  24. San Jose Sharks, 17-15-1, 8-8-0 AWAY ESPN+ 1/4 7:30 PM Detroit Red Wings, 15-15-3, 11-5-2 HOME
  25. So.... Archie Bunker is full of shit? Yet again?
