My favourite Van Halen line is from Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love

"I been to the edge, an' there I stood an' looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby, I got no time to mess around"

I was in a big residence my first year at University. 36 floors and 1,200 18 years olds free from home. It was a fun and crazy time.

Several people on my floor had serious stereo systems. Turntables. We turned up the volume loud and everyone dropped the needle at the same time to Running With The Devil. It starts with the thumping bass. It could be heard throughout the building with windows shaking.

RIP Eddie.

ah. Don't know how to post a tweeter and don't want know. But this made me chuckle.

Replying to @ZENofLEN
In bathroom @ the GoldStrike on break of a plo tourney ~’08. Eskimo at the sink & Grizz walks in. E says “Grizz u want to swap 20%?” “you got it.” Eskimo leaves and young guy says “Sam, I was at his table and he busted last hand before the break. “That’s ok, I’m not even playin”.

RIP "The Amazing" Randi 92

Wiki:

Quote:

James Randi was a Canadian-American stage magician and a scientific skeptic who extensively challenged paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. He was the co-founder of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, originally known as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.

I loved his rebuttals of Uri Geller and his unclaimed $1M prize for proof of the paranormal.

good, because i always hated that stupid name

This is a funny article, including:

Quote:

People have wondered why Katzenberg and Whitman, in their late and early 60s, respectively, and not very active on social media, would believe they have uniquely penetrating insight into the unacknowledged desires of young people. When I ask Whitman what TV shows she watches, she responds, “I’m not sure I’d classify myself as an entertainment enthusiast.” But any particular shows she likes? “Grant,” she offered. “On the History Channel. It’s about President Grant.”

Katzenberg is on his phone all the time, but he is also among the moguls of his generation who have their emails printed out (and vertically folded, for some reason) by an assistant. In enthusing about what a show could mean for Quibi, Katzenberg would repeatedly invoke the same handful of musty touchstones — America’s Funniest Home Videos, Siskel and Ebert, and Jane Fonda’s exercise tapes. When Gal Gadot came to the offices and delivered an impassioned speech about wanting to elevate the voices of girls and women, Katzenberg wondered aloud whether she might become the new Jane Fonda and do a workout series for Quibi. (“Apparently, her face fell,” says a person briefed on the meeting.)

Goddammit!

Billy Joe Shaver died. I'd rank him far above George Michael, but I doubt anybody else here would. Great songwriter of the outlaw country genre.

I was wondering where the printed emails reference was coming from, lol Katz. Then asking Gal to jazzercise, I don't even.

One show that I think could translate from lolquibi is Chrissy's Court. I saw a couple clips and it had potential.

Chop, I’m well aware of who Shaver is. It was a bad joke about facial hair.
