Looks like a perfect midweek game for pitching Johnny Wholestaff. Really the only way to get everyone some game experience.

re: Who’s your Favorite Actor? Why?

Anthony Hopkins!
His body of work and awards earned during a truly stellar career speak for themselves, but out of all the actors I have had the privilege of working with, during a 30 plus year career in Hollywood, Tony Hopkins is the most genuine and naturally likable person I have ever met who chose Acting as a career. Don't you dare call him Anthony or Mr. Hopkins. He will have none of it. His name is Tony, and before the week is over he will be on a first name basis w/ every single member of the shooting crew. Most actors can't wait to escape the set to their trailers or where ever they can go in between setups, but you can't run Him off the set with a shitty mop. He wanders around purposely meeting and talking to seemingly everyone he can. He lets his stand in run through all of his rehearsals in his stead. He feels that he is incapable of saying his dialogue repeatedly, then delivering his lines in front of camera as though he is saying them for the first time. The guy has no secrets, and is as natural and normal in front of the camera as he is everywhere else.
Two other outstanding human beings who, in a similar vein, never met a stranger were Robin Williams and Paul Newman.
Let it come to you, Jhase. :cheers:

Bump!
Can anyone help out a couple of fellow tiger fans here? These guys are scoping out the world famous LSU Tiger Stadium on Gump weekend. I'd chime in, but being out of state, not sure how much help I could be...

My mistake. I assumed that US Marshals escorted all prisoners on public transportation. Now I know that I was wrong.

He was actually talking to EBR Parish District Attorney, Ossie Brown who coincidently was a personal friend and Plauche was trying to get Ossie to talk him out of killing his kid's karate instructor. During the call, Ossie was doing his best to alert the marshals to stay on the plane, but then, you know the rest...
Certainly not my worst police interaction, but prolly the most interesting.
Was propmastering an episode of "Profiler" years ago in Santa Monica, when I was tasked with picking up a custom human head dummy made to look like the stiff of the week from whom we had to film the process of lifting a fingerprint off the dummy's eyeball. Needless to say, the dummy head was incredibly realistic. The head was mounted on a metal spike screwed into a wooden base. I seat belted the rig into the passenger seat of my SUV and began the drive across the city to where we were shooting that day. I was ok for time, so I stopped in a 7-11 for a cup of coffee. As soon as I exited my vehicleI looked up to see an LAPD helicopter swooping low over the parking lot while 5 squad cars squealed into the parking lot and 10 police officers all with guns drawn commanding began me to get on the ground. I complied while an LAPD dipshit ground a 12 gauge riot gun against my ear. After about a minute of me being read my rights, I was finally allowed to speak. I told them my side of the story. They couldn't believe how photorealistic the head was. I ended up being late to return to the studio due to the cops all needing to have their pictures taken with the dummy head. It was especially galling that the unwiped a-hole who bruised the side of my face with his shotgun needed extra pictures because "nobody's going to believe this shite!" It turns out that some old lady on the 405 freeway spotted the prop head and called it in that I was driving around with a severed head in my car.
Fun times...

Nobody has won the SEC more than LSU and a great majority of those were with Bertman. I think he did pretty good in Omaha wouldn't you say?


Yes, Coach Bertman did much better in Omaha than he did at the SEC Tourney. Could it be that he placed less importance on the SEC Tourney Chip than on getting his team ready for the road to Omaha?

That was one of the bright spots while Manieri was coaching. You could almost guarantee seeing the tigers play 4 games and making it to championship game.


A case can be made that Coach Manieri placed far too much emphasis on winning the SEC Tournament and that IMO goes a long way toward explaining why the team on his watch was never at its best in Omaha. Why not use the extra time away from baseball games to drill the team into improving at whatever weaknesses in their game are holding them back? Whoever wins this year's SEC tourney will probably enter the next round with a sore-armed bullpen and some extra unhelpful bumps and bruises to carry forward. My guess is that while some of the LSU players are using this time to brush up on their fielding most are fine-tuning their hitting skills before the tournament that really matters.
I have been searching for a workaround ever since I quit cable. Is it possible through a YOUTUBE account for instance?

ESPN app only works for SEC+ when one has a cable membership to facilitate the app.

According to current records, The Union of Concerned Scientists has over 25,000 scientists as members.
Actually, flying into and out of Burbank airport is the correct answer here.

You're welcome.
