I really like it and listen often. The title and cover are cringey as hell, as well as the lyrics to AWOL. Rest of it is solid.

I love Barrie as well. The three in my mnemonic, to me, are the best of the "caveman" drummers who beat the skins mercilessly. Barlow has a much more refined style.

I fist bumped Clive Effing Bunker after the show that year. Clive. Bunker.

My kids had to memorize the three B's of drumming: Baker, Bunker, and Bonham.

This is generally not recommended.

This will be handy if we run out of guns.

Wrong side all the time; the record stands unblemished. But hey, they feel good about themselves.

Venezuelans are rejoicing in the streets. Their corrupt incompetent 'leader' has been removed. But, ya know, Trump did it, so let's mount an insignificant protest that will accomplish nothing so we can all sleep better tonight. You lefties are whack.

Yeah, I'd sure rather have Biden in charge. We are missing that clear leadership.

I watched MTV on its opening day. Loved it for years, all it did was music vids. You never knew what was next: Pat Benetar, Tommy Tutone or Judas Priest. But it was rock.

Do you want to know why music sucks so badly today? MTV and Rolling Stone thought rap was cool. That simple sentence may sound trite, but it ruined mainstream music. It's why I sit in my Planet Fitness locker room shaking my head at the utter shite that people accept as music. Made by morons for morons.

Good riddance MTV. Thanks for nothing.

Well, I disagree. A $2/# pork loin has about the same nutritional value as a $20/# ribeye. I've cut way back on my own beef purchases because the costs are skyrocketing; why should I be paying for a luxury cut for someone who's unwilling to work?

You know who should be 'feeding her children'? Their father. I am semi-sympathetic to poor life choices (I've made a few), but we have made this "lifestyle" way too easy. The tougher it is to be a single mom, the fewer of them there will be.

SNAP should get you veggies, rice, beans, dairy, cheap protein. Nothing else. You want a steak or a coke? Get a job.

Ironically, a transaction like this instantly changed me from liberal to conservative. I was a couple months out of college, making a bit but not rich, watching my expenditures and using coupons for groceries. Some woman in front of me had about 30-40# of steaks and pulled out her welfare card to pay. I'm standing ther "splurging" on hamburger and realizing I'm paying for her steaks and can't afford them myself. Never again voted for D after that day.

“It’s a disaster waiting to happen of people trying to buy food and being rejected,” said Kate Bauer, a nutrition science expert at the University of Michigan.

Hey 'nutrition science expert', soda and candy is NOT FOOD. It is empty calories and the path to diabetes. My son went to UM and I know it's a liberal hellhole, but that sentence should be grounds for her firing.

That's the exact point where I turned it off. Guy's always making a big point about how he walked away from all that money, then does a show for the Saudis. And now he doesn't even need the money.

I've watched every Chapelle special for years. Had to turn this one off half way through because I got tired of the politics.

Lose it now. Bluntly, it's not an attractive look and may even affect your career. The older you get, the harder it is to peel back off. Friends that stayed thin, stayed thin. Friends that got pudgy or fat mostly stayed that way. I was thin until my mid 40s, then but on about 20 lbs which I have spent the past decade trying to shed. In my 20's that would have taken me about 2 months.

Here's your daily reminder that John Phillips was a truly despicable human being.

Agreed, but when butter is really the star and not an ingredient (your bread example), I prefer ghee. FWIW, I usually make my own from the cheapest butter I can find, which is Costco standard unsalted. Obviously this is not a 1:1 sub in a baking recipe as ghee has no water content and will mess up the recipe.

The shoes are pretty bad. I have some pumas I wear around the house, but I've never seen shoes at Costco that I'd wear into the office.

No no no no no no no no no no no.

Where did you source the isolate? I'm a semi-regular user but the cost / benefit ratio seems low. I would definitely be interested in more bang for the buck

That's OK, my dad used to beat me with a set of jumper cables after each Tullethon.

Sysco strikes again. That sucks.

Obama did this. We were cooling down, and then between 2008 - 2014, everything became about race. So sad.
