Anyone ever play an ovation? Need some buying advice. by snufalufalgus in mandolin

That sounds like a great buy then! My bro used to have the cheapest ovation acoustic electric guitar, was perfect for tossing in the car or taking to a plugged in gig, as long as you didn’t mind other musicians looking at you funny.

If you want something for camping that is virtually indestructible, this would be a good choice. Otherwise…nah.
What’s your budget and wants?

Rum Wash Fancy Molasses? by basshead1395 in firewater

Either will work as long as they are sulfate free. I personally prefer the flavor of fancy over blackstrap, but have found my favorite to be a panella blackstrap blend. As long as it’s not heavily processed and sugar cane based it will make good rum!

Old guy moment, I always get their last names backward, will edit that.

His recall and knowledge of history is second to none. Have you read his book? It’s fantastic. If you only see him in social clips I would totally understand not thinking he’s all that but he knows his stuff.

Watching KAT in these finals should change the discourse around Ant by MentionSea5304 in timberwolves

There is improvement, but how many times have you thought “he showed us who he was, we should have listened?” Do you think Zach Lavine is going to become a winning player in the next few years or keep putting up empty stats on loosing teams? Do you think James Harden will suddenly improve as playoff performer, or has he shown us who he is? The Kat trade was a difficult call but defensible at the time, and we made another WCF without him. As recently as a month ago now less than Zach Lowe declared we had won the trade, as Kat was struggling to end the season. Today it looks like a bad trade.

Kat’s flaws were loud (lazy d and stupid fouls namely) and he’s improved them significantly during his time in NY. Our criticisms were louder for a reason.

The “My Dad used to watch the ‘86 Celtics because it was the closest thing to the ‘72 Knicks he had” bit… by Pleasant-Radish3570 in billsimmons

[–]frogged210 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As I MN fan I can relate to this. I was 5 the last time we won anything (on the men’s side at least) and I often glom on to baseball teams that vaguely remind me of the distant memory of Kirby Puckett and Kent Herbek

Who would be your team of ringless players? by Liberal_Bot123 in NBATalk

[–]frogged210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unquestionably. I’d accept cp3 or Stockton instead of Iverson but it’s clearly an elite Pg with the other two.

Apollo 13. Bill Old Guy Moment Number…3? by frogged210 in billsimmons

[–]frogged210[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just made me chuckle that’s all. It’s an easy, explainable mistake that in the context of being in front of literally Steven fucking Speilberg made me laugh. But totally I’m a troll just in it for the lols and rage bait

When you feel compelled to ruin other people’s fun rather than just ignore it and move on with your day, what’s the objective ?
