Jim Rose :bow:

i realize he was essentially playing a barely fictionalized version of himself, but he did such a fantastic job in his acting debut its a mystery he didnt get more opportunities - he has only one more on-screen appearance in the 30 years since this episode aired

BTW, this and virtually every episode mentioned positively ITT was written by Darrin Morgan (who also appeared as the chief protagonist in one if the others mentioned, “Small Potatoes”)

ETA: Scully may have pretended to eat that cricket, but Gillian Anderson didn’t - like a trouper, she swallowed it whole

at various times i could fit into any of these categories

plus the musicians i play with would fit into all four categories as well, as reflected in our repertoire

Im not really in the he has to go camp. Im in the he sucks at coaching Auburn football camp. He was a desperation hire after a terrible hire. He was basically what they could get hire

Its pretty typical for Auburn for a very long time. I dont see that changing any time soon. It is a toxic job that very few excellent coaches want so you get these types of hires. History proves it. Occasionally one of them does great things.

I just dont see him being one of them,

that part

lets be honest, AU football has made one hire in the last 40+ years of a guy in wide demand for upper tier jobs, that was Tubs

Freezus was the GOB-approved lazy hire, maybe he will do great things this year, but i see no evidence thats likely to happen

the interplay between the bass line and the percussion effects is impressive enough, but throwing in the melody and those freaky chords on top of it is mind boggling

re: From the, "Why back in my day!" Boomer files: Fond memories of 'Hitching'

Posted by FearlessFreep on 6/7/25 at 11:46 am

reminds me of a plan a juco buddy of mine and i made for the summer of 1979

we were going to set out on Memorial Day and hitchhike from Baldwin Co. AL to Key West and back, no matter how long it took us (although presumably we would be back in time to start at AU by mid September)

take only sleeping bags, a change of clothes, and some cash for food and emergencies

of course we never made it happen, he had a family emergency and ended up going to college elsewhere, i got a minimum wage job for the summer then ended up dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Frederick before heading off to AU

i often wonder how things would have turned out if we had managed to stick to our original plan

re: How many times do you stop on a 5 hour drive?

Posted by FearlessFreep on 6/6/25 at 2:03 pm

in the 90s i drove from Raleigh NC to Starkville MS, about 690 miles, and stopped once just outside Atlanta

and i can definitely drive 5 hours w/o stopping today

but if i get on the road late, or i’m tired for any reason, i’ll definitely stop in a rest area for a power nap

re: Who gets custody of Joe Rogan?

as a wise man once said, hindsight is 50/50

but looking back, i fear that the 1992 election was the US’s “windmill moment”

the Reform movement was much like MAGA now, but not beholden to Trump’s ego and hubris, which are proving to be his downfall

plus this was long before wokism and the ridiculous extremes the Dem party has drug into the societal mainstream

a Perot victory would have been a blow to globalization and neocon foreign policy, without embracing the suicidal insanity that dominates the progressive movement

and no doubt our immigration policies would have been far more restrictive than either party has pursued since

there were occasional high points since then, but our nation began its inevitable decline into oblivion in 1992

we’re merely playing out the string now

If Elon really pursued it with his mindset and money I think we could have a legit 3rd party for the first time

1992 Reform Party says hi

still had a decent showing despite Perot’s disappearance (and semi-endorsement of WJC) in the heat of the campaign

if he’d committed to staying in i think he’d have made a huge difference in November, possibly even would have won - people were disgusted with both major parties then

i think that disgust is far more prevalent now
