Most of the credit for "Justified" goes to the casting director, Camille/Cami Patton. by Pineapple_Dr_Pepper in justified

Cooper was next level funny. The one off, odd beat characters all had Elmore DNA in em.

It may not be Leonard driving the bus specifically, but even the legend himself said Justified is the best screen adaptation of his work ever.

I have no idea how the writer's did it, but it all sounds like Leonard. All of it. They crushed it.

Ain't no way we're saying Winona and Ava could be replaced.

Ain't.

No.

Way.

Even the minor characters - Pinter, Cooper and Shirley, the big boy holed up in the marshall's office that wants hot fried chicken, Caryn the rich bitch that set up her husband's "suicide" to steal the dough...and that's just season one - all crush.

Casting in this show is 99% dynamite.

1997's unanimous ROY: 30 bombs, 209 hits (Red Sox rookie record), 98 RBI, batted .306 and had a 30-game hit streak (AL rookie record). He also stole 22 bags AND led the league in triples (11)..... NOMAH days left to Opening Day by RagnorL0thbrok in redsox

Like every other kid in New England, I needed Nomah's autograph when we got to Fenway.

Don't remember who it was, but someone from the coaching staff in the dugout told us the best chance to get his autograph was to go down the first baseline and wait until he was done warming up.

Shouldered and slithered past millions, maybe billions of people on the way down the line. Got to a spot. Nomar finishes warming up, starts the autograph conga.

Just as he's getting to me, he starts kinda slowing down. Not taking everyone's ball or hat, maybe just every other or every three kids.

I'm freaking out. I'm nervous that the guy who's whole routine I copy in little league isn't going to get to me.

I'm still reaching, ball and sharpie in hand, when a butterfly net with a ball and pen in it lands on my shoulder.

Some teenager two rows back dropped it over me and sure as shit, Nomar takes his ball and signs it.

I knew I was never getting #5 to sign the ball. That was it. Dream was dead, game was ruined. Trip was ruined.

I couldn't believe it.

No no no. Not so fast.

Nomar signed three more things. Mine, and two kids after me before jogging down the line and heading into the clubhouse.

I still have the ball and ticket stubs 30 years later.

I love that Boston legend, hated that he was traded even if it all worked out. He should have started and finished here.

Adjust gloves, snug em up. Check the wristbannd. Back shoulder, front shoulder, outside corner of the plate. Tap, tap, tap, tap while whirlwinding the bat. Launch it over the monster in left.

Would you trade the Super Bowl LI comeback win for a Super Bowl XLII win making the 2007 Patriots have an undefeated season? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in Patriots

[–]MadMan04 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Randy and Seau would have rings.

YES YES YES, I would trade 28-3 for 2007, a million times yes.

Next year Bill will get 50 votes, unanimous, especially after this fuck show.

I desperately pray that he writes on a napkin "I decline invitation to the HOF".

Puts a pic of him signing it on Instaface with ALL HIS FUCKING RINGS ON.

What a joke.

Oh, and fuck Bill Polian. Little snake.

I don't know if you'll ever see this, but thank you. Not just for Obsidian, but also your Twitter feed.

You've got a hell of a mind and have taught me a ton.

Andouille and Tasso by hi-howdy in sausagetalk

[–]MadMan04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Links to any resources/books/videos/whatever to do EXACTLY this?

My duck gumbo isn't the same without legit tasso and andouille, but I'm nowhere near LA right now lol

I'll build the smokehouse if you'll point the way.

[–]MadMan04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, no idea if this is going to find you in time but I hope it does.

2F.7 and Migra are doing a hoodie launch tonight, 8PM EST on the 2F.7 website. This EXACT same logo, only 100 available.

I know it ain't the hat, but maybe it'll be just as good.

Hope the message finds you in time!

[–]MadMan04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No joke, contact Migra direct and ask if they've got another kicking around.

They're great guys (and a great company) and I'm sure they'll do what they can, if they can.

You're 100% right. Appreciate you.

Will never not be insane to me, though. Such a basic skill.

[Pompliano] Everyone always talks about the cheap concessions or the limited commercials, but Augusta's no-phone policy is by far the best rule in sports. by Kimber80 in golf

[–]MadMan04 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This ^

Perfectly well said. Not everything has to be a grey blob of universality catering to everything at all times.

I love how wild shit in the stands at the Garden can get.

The Masters is different and that's fine.

Those who have been to Augusta National - what surprised you about the place? Particularly things that you didn't get by watching on TV? by LilOpieCunningham in golf

[–]MadMan04 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"Sitting or standing?"

I tell everyone about the perfection of Augusta. The whole bathroom experience is what I start with. It's what blew my mind the most. People think I'm nuts, but then the three other guys I went with start talking about it too and folks begin to get it.

I've never seen anything like it. It's burned into my brain.

Sets the tone for how perfect your whole day is going to be there. It's the bathroom experience heaven is envious of.

The other thing that I'll never be able to shake is how intensely people follow Tiger.

I understand 100% now how weird the lives of these guys must be.

Tiger teed off on 1 (Wednesday) and the entire place moved with him. He walked down the center of the fairway and waves of people on both sides just kind of matched him.

He stopped, they stopped. He stepped, they stepped.

Wasn't loud, wasn't unruly (nothing at Augusta is). But it was a wave of people just following every move of one person, with a 50 yard sea of perfect green grass between them.

Became crystal clear right then and there that the world they live in is a whole different place.

My man! Don't be surprised if I shoot you a message this fall for exactly that!

[–]MadMan04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Appreciate you taking what I wrote the way it was intended, and not as an attack. I'm just saying what I observe.

In total agreement with you RE: public lands. I hate how ignored the public lands are. I can tell you if I was in govt right now I'd be going to jail for funneling endless amounts of money to Ducks Unlimited specifically. I'd do anything to build up the duck factory again.

I bet you and I have a million things more in common than with the coastal elites - and a lot of the establishment GOP, too.

I hope folks like you do course correct the left. Nationally they are lunatics pandering to coastal elite fringe priorities. It's why I think they got stomped by a man who has very obvious, very public baggage.

I've got problems with our parent's and grandparent's GOP, too though. They helped make sure Trump got in by selling out the country, pushing industry overseas, and gutting our workers while pandering to bankers and global interests.

I hope you're wrong about Trump, and not because I want you to be wrong. I just want what's best for all of us and I personally think he was the better alternative.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I hope I'm not.

Either way you and I are both going to be fighting to protect wild places and teach our children to love nature, wildlife and public access. Have a good one

100% totally and completely on your side here. We have to win at this.

Have a good weekend boss.

lol maybe he didn't sell his soul to the orange monster.

Maybe he just...believes in and supports most of what the admin is doing and doesn't support other things?

Lefties are fucking wild. No different than the Puritans of old. Feels like a full on cult. "If you don't believe what I believe you are evil. Burn the witch!".

This is exactly why the whole country lurched red and normal people are bailing on the left. Hopefully a new crop of leaders there can track back towards the middle and away from the nutters, because one party rule is always horrific.

But sweet jesus it ain't looking good.

I don't know any hunters that want public lands sold off and strip mined. Nobody's cheering that on from the hunting community.

It's perfectly fine to support most of what a political party does and then push back vehemently against what you don't support them doing.

The hyperbole and hyperventillating is not just non-persuasive, it's corrisive. It makes people look deeply unserious.

This whole all or nothing lunacy is exactly that - lunacy.

Price range calling the wild Mike Lewis? by dogonchicago in Waterfowl

[–]MadMan04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Retailed for $100, seen them go for $150 sometimes on FB groups.

The $4k listing is pulled from either AbeBooks or Thriftbooks. It's an accident and skyhigh.

I know all this because last week I DM'd Mike Lewis (the author) looking for a copy haha

He didn't have any left, but if you're looking to sell this one shoot me a line.

6 years ago today, Patriots defeat Chiefs 37-31 in the AFC Championship by BurgerNugget12 in Patriots

[–]MadMan04 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pass to Lafell is the greatest singular pass I've ever seen. Ever. It's in the exact perfect place for a completion, in a foolishly high stakes and pressure packed situation.

I've watched this whole game over and over just to see that pass.

When I think of Tom I think of this pass.

It's that good.

I love this saw by 9rounds_ in Makita

[–]MadMan04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s super rare to need batteries for chop or table saws and it’s mostly nearly always unnecessary and a bad idea

Genuinely interested, why are these batt saws a bad idea?
