I remember when I wanted to know what the lyrics where all I had to do was unfold the liner that came with the cassette tape. :cool2:

Honestly, no. He put the onus on Rock by saying he is ready to talk when Rock is but Rock doesn't want to talk to him, he wants to make jokes about him for the rest of his career. You slap a comedian, you're giving them material for life.

It was "Old Timer's Day" at the stadium in "Da Bronx" today. I'm sure I am in the minority here, but man what a great tradition they do up in a big way for the organization and more importantly the fans such as myself. All those former stars..........Jesus, the collective total of World Series rings that were on that field. And the "Core Four" didn't make it this year!!!

Also, remembering one of my all time favorite Yankees and the only pitcher to ever throw a "Perfect Game" in the World Series, Don Larsen who past away this year.

You may all now go back to your regularly scheduled programming. lol

Ummm, did I forget to mention that dem Yanks are having a monster season this year? 1st place with a bullet in the East. Also, Aaron Judge hit number 42 today!! He just may end up beating, Ruths' record for real without PED's!!! As a fan, seasons like this don't come around too often. Last time they were rolling like this was back in 1998.

Roger Maris, 61 (1961) is the true holder IMO. And good ol' Hank for all time.

Sorry Tommy, but short attention span means I cant/won't watch 45 plus minutes of video. I'd rather go to the cinema to catch an Arthouse movie.

At least then I know it's fiction...

No need to apologize, RF. This guy vanished from Ct. and wound up in Hawaii around the age of 23 in 2019, living in these people's house while they were away and was making surgical plans for them. He wanted to transform them into spiritual versions of himself with genital/anal reconfiguration among other things and had made copious plans about it. They got a restraining order. He attacked someone else in public, was sent to jail for attempted murder and then killed his cell mate. He's currently awaiting trial in a mental ward.
There's more but no need to waste any additional time on it. I thought it was one hell of a story.

Except if the volcano nearish Reykajavik decides otherwise, in just a few weeks my wife and I will be doing another roadtrip in Iceland!

Awesome sceneries and sleeping in a van for 2 weeks :)

Am so pumped about this!

All a state of mine. I don't mine getting older. It allows me to do the things I was too broke to do as a kid.

Seems legit to me. Emails, voice mails, etc are routinely subpoenaed. Facebook posts shouldn't be protected anymore then that. Is your outrage at the police/courts for issuing the warrent? For Meta for complying? Or for prosecuting a teen for abortion? Keep in mind the crimes she is accused of would have still been crimes before Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Lesson learned, don't discuss illegal activity on social media.

Definitely agree about your last sentence!

I am still shocked that some states prosecute teens for abortions... and I am not even talking when it happens to younger ones...
The world keep surprising me... and never in a good way

Although I am pro-abortion, she was 28 weeks (almost 7 months) pregnant at the time she took the pills, and the law was 20 weeks max for abortion. How she disposed of the baby/corpse was not legal. At that late stage of pregnancy I feel only life threatening should be justification for an abortion in the 3rd trimester. I don't want to open a can of worms and start a debate on abortion as that is such a hot button in the US at the moment, so that will be my last comment.

That's one case, here, and true about the specificities of it. I believe that in France it's about 12 weeks the legality of it.
But yeah, let's not monopolise the conversation on this subject

Anybody got anything random, interesting and more cheerful to talk about? :)
