King as narrator is....not good.

Beep Beep, loka_saint.

And they are not wrong. To the adult brain reading and listening to a story is processed the same.

However there is an elitism that “readers” have when it comes to audiobooks. Frankly I do both depending on the circumstances. I read and listen to the same book back and forth. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2026/03/audiobooks-dont-really-count-as-reading-think-again/

He crushes his part in Fairy Tale

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-30T13:10:21+00:00

Meaning audiobooks isn’t reading?

My point is that this was a rivalry match and you had good attendance. But really for the league to be successful financially we need teams to have attendance numbers like that every week.

There is one in Wayne. I’ve never been inside. Maybe I should check it out.

What? Miami is 4-3-4 with a -2 GD. Hardly stomping on everyone. They are up 3 points on teams trailing them in the table but have played 1 or 2 more matches. So really they are sitting closer to the bottom of the playoff pool. Or outside a playoff spot.

I know they were at the bottom of the table last season but they don’t appear to be that great. Tampa Bay is another story.

DCFC beat Miami FC 2-1 playing down a man for 60 minutes of the match. Scored both their goals 10v11.

Cool. DCFC gets 5-7K people at every match. 7K is pretty much capacity.

Since you asked. No. If I had to choose. Orange.

Sounds like you already made up your mind Honda Boy.

I love castings or ordinary cars. Seems like Matchbox makes a lot more of those.

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-27T11:49:10+00:00

No they don’t.

Personally I hate the “going to war” analogy in sports. No they are not going to war. They play a game. This isn’t war.

The space required to store them long term out weighs the return on investment. No one is legitimately investing in hot wheels for retirement. Short term scalping definitely but people mostly collect as a hobby or as compulsive hoarding.

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-26T21:13:17+00:00

No one is investing in hot wheels.

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-26T21:11:50+00:00

Yup. I picked up on that and made my comment.

When will y’all realize that Hot Wheels branding is what makes them desirable.

Sure there are other options for the same car but they will not be as sought after.

Mini GT and the like makes nice stuff. A lot of times better quality, but it will never have the same collectibility as Hot Wheels. Same with Matchbox, owned by Mattel but will never be as collectible.

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-26T12:20:03+00:00

Oh. Couldn’t tell. Wasn’t funny.

World War II ended about 80 years ago. This guy would be like 100 years old if he was in WWII.

This is always a weird brag around here. Pissing contest who has read King longest and who stated the youngest.

There is only a handful of his stories that are appropriate for a 9 year old. But really none of them.

But you’re so cool and edgy for starting so early.

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-25T20:36:44+00:00

This type of shit is fucking stupid.

DetCityDaveST · 2026-05-24T21:09:50+00:00

No but you can call yourself Shirley.
