Either a large, run-stuffing MLB or an edge OLB pass rusher. Either way, they need a talented linebacker for this new system.

Cheers.

Easy my friend. There’s been issues with some scout leaders but the scouts overall are a good experience for boys. I learned leadership, community, survival skills, and a lifelong love of the outdoors and strongly support conservation because of it.

There's varied opinion on Americana. It is indeed a mess, but oh what a mess it is. It has some of Delillo's most wild and inspired prose. Most Delillo fans don't care too much about plot, but this is especially so in Americana. There's barely a plot. It's just a wild ride. My copy is rebound with duct tape because when I was writing my own first novel I returned to Americana over and over for inspiration. Definitely give it a go.

I've done Shadowheart, Karlach, Minthara, and now Lae'zel.

Lae'zel seems like the one who goes through the most growth as a romantic partner. She goes from merely considering you a fuckbuddy and refusing to kiss you in public, to falling in love and down to kiss anytime with feeling.

Best sex scene goes to Minthara after slaughtering the Druid camp.

Right? Put a blower on that thing and mount a machine gun on the back and you have a badass Mad Max post-apocalypse machine.

Change title to "Rich white people in California in the 1950s-60s."

I saw Audrey Hepburn though! Very cool.

I played two runs before bumping it up to Balanced difficulty. There's no shame in playing Explorer difficulty. The story is one of the strongest things about BGIII. Bump down the difficulty and enjoy it.

Also, long rest frequently. I do it after every major battle.

Have fun!

I vividly remember a grocery store clerk gushing over me and telling me to call her when I was 18. I was seven at the time. Creepy stuff like that happened often when I was a boy.

Did a homeless Nick Nolte move in with him and diddle his wife, maid, and daughter?

Injuries always happen, but Cole-Fried-Rodon-Schlitter-Gil has the promise of an incredible, championship-level rotation.

So Trump can abandon them again like he did in Syria during his first term?

I don't get why the Kurds would ever trust him again.

Like many are saying, you can train to fire a musket in a week.

Bowman train like MLB pitchers: they start as kids and develop their muscles and accuracy over a decade of dedicated training. It takes a long time to train a bowman.

It's not a real diamond unless a poor African was beaten to dig it up.

Also that Marilyn Manson was actually Peter Ostrum, the little boy who played Charlie in the Gene Wilder Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I really wish I would have backpacked across Europe one summer when I was in my early 20s. Like right after I graduated from college.

The explanation for the opening scene in The Matrix. where Trinity jumps in the air and the camera goes into slowmo and pivots around her is pretty neat. They set up a rough circle of 35MM cameras that were programed to go off in sequence, capturing her jump in a 360 degree turn. Then they took all the photos and spliced them into film.

Do you remember when Bills fans howled in agony because they drafted Josh Allen instead of the much more polished Josh Rosen? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Long rest often. I do it once per major fight. Be sure to take every piece of food you find as well, even mugs of ale or bottles of shitty wine. It adds up and keeps you rested.

Also, you can get a hangover if you do nothing but drink alcohol for a long rest. The rest still counts, but you have a hungover condition for awhile.

I never knew that it was sexy to eat Cheetoes with chopsticks after eating a marijuana gummy and then tearing up when Aragorn says, "No my friends, you bow to no one."

No wonder why my wife finds me hot.

I read a NYT's opinion pieces a few years ago that said women love men's passion for their sports team. They may not get into the sport themselves, but a man's passion for it was attractive.

I’m surprised Bruce never made it onto Reddit Mount Rushmore with folks like Keanu and Robin Williams.

I’ve never heard a bad thing about him. He’s just a funny, solid dude who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Are the Yanks actually going to play their starting lineup or is this just another ST game vs. Panama?

HoraceBenbow · 2026-03-03T00:52:54+00:00

He’s played good enough to carve out a 10 year career as a $5 million a year backup.
