A guy I know went and said the place was really nice. 

It really is. First time I've been. We were on row 4 but I don't think there is a bad seat in the place. 

They have .38 special and Warrant coming soon. May have to go back for one of those. 

Saw Kevin Costner and his band Modern West at Brown County Music Center last night. 

Very good show. Place smelled of old people and middle aged women in heat. 

I'm still cleary drunk from the concert last night. I'm seeing double. Lol. 

Anyway. What a bummer.

WOW!! I mean some things you just can't make up. I have a story about a high school biology field trip to the Indy zoo about a monkey, body fluid, and a girl from our class....I can't even imagine how this stripper kept this monkey in check while naked on stage....omg. lol

I just liked her stage name. Pole assassin. 

A former stripper and a monkey are in the middle of bizarre college football rumor

On Monday, a tweet from Thomas Campbell claimed a “credible source” said that a monkey belonging to Texas Longhorns special teams coach Jeff Banks attacked and injured a young trick-or-treater on Halloween.

According to USA Today, Campbell is a Texas sports photographer and once was a stringer for USA Today.

The tweet had curious fans digging for more information, and now it’s rumored that Banks is in a relationship with the monkey’s owner, Danielle Thomas — a former stripper whose stage name was Pole Assassin. The monkey, Gia, was apparently part of her pole act.

Nah.  They're gonna kill off John.  He's was bleeding to death by the road at the end of the last episode.  😉

I need to stop watching the trailer for clues. I just want to be able to say I called it first.

A few good scenes one really good jump scare but did not live up to my expectations. The 2nd time we watched it at home it was better. Little too cheesy for me. 

Just watched it. At some point they have to end this franchise.  They won't. Probably make Lori's daughter the new Michael.

Don't want to spoil it for anyone but there were 2 opportunities to cut Mike's head off and dismember his body and be done with this. 

Instead. Another Halloween movie is scheduled to come out next year. 

So my question is, will it be a continuation from this or does Michael only kill on Halloween?

I like the movies that Jaime lee curtis is in but the spinoffs suck.

I know you've said this in jest (kind of?), but I guess I never understand then need to sugar coat the virus in this fashion because it's very narrow in scope. Most viruses have a high survival rate - it doesn't minimize the actual virus though. From the beginning, many said (even on this board) that there's no way this virus will kill as many as the Spanish Flu (it did), or it'd even come close to killing a million people nationally (we're getting there, and most likely would've surpassed that if it weren't for the fast tracking of the vaccines). 

But again, this is only using deaths as an indicator when the destruction caused in the wake of COVID also includes long-term health effects, economic chaos and the over-whelming of our healthcare system.

I also see this 'sugar coating' used in comparing COVID to more fatal diseases and/or epidemics. But in many cases something like heart disease has been with us for a long time and our healthcare system has adapted to the increase in cases and we've gotten pretty damn good at treating it. It's like keeping a swimming pool at 80% capacity to keep the water level at a certain mark. If you notice the demand is increasing slowly overtime, you expand the pool. BUT if all the sudden you have thousands of people jump into a pool at 80% capacity, it's gong to overflow and overwhelm the lifeguards. 

The point being, there are very real short and longterm consequences to the virus, even if 'a lot of people recover from it' or even if 'poverty kills more people worldwide'. These consequences domino down and effect us (even the healthy) in a multitude of ways. Heck, we complain about these consequences everyday on this thread because they are effecting our lives to various degrees.

In addition to sickness and death, a sudden pandemic is a shock to the systems we have in place.

But we JUST DID outrun mother nature and many vaccines have changed the supposed 'inevitable'. Polio? Measles? If you're insinuating to have the virus kill off the unhealthy in an effort to strengthen our overall immunity, then fine, but then be prepared to deal with dominos that fall as a result because it won't just be deaths and the aftermath will much longer to recover from (as a a society). For example, if you think these supply chain issues are bad now, how do you think they'd be if we let COVID just run unhindered and rampant across the globe?

By that rationale we shouldn't use modern engineering to prevent earthquakes from crumbling buildings. Sure, we aren't going to prevent mother nature from having earthquakes, but we can minimize the damage.

I'm not insinuating that people shouldn't get healthier and strengthen their immune systems, but this is not a strategy by any means, nor is it realistic. We have one lifetime on this Earth (perhaps a few more if you're Buddhist), and call me selfish, but I'd rather not spend it "cleansing the species" and living through the devastating aftermath that'd result from such a strategy. I award you zero points for that insinuation. 😆  (Though, I still appreciate you Joe!)

 

To be fair, I did say to expect 1.5%+ or so of people to die from this virus. Multiply .002x 330,000,000 and see what you get. Covid is no way compared to Spanish flu. 

What you are failing to understand is the population of the US during the Spanish flu was about 130 million, so 6.5% of that population died from Spanish flu. 

Right now we are about 330 million of US population, so about 1.9% has died which is comparable to Hong Kong flu and Asian flu in the 50's and 60's. 

Raw numbers are meaningless. Do some statistics.

I don't think it's even the point of being a gay bar (although that can also be argued)....but why are kids being taken on a field trip to ANY BAR??

If you are not familiar with The Babylon Bee it is satire, like The Onion.

When satire becomes reality it's no longer funny.

I'm not sure I'd let my kids attend public schools at this point...

 

Me either, my best friend from high school decided to be a history teacher and football coach. 

His first job was in Houston County Tennessee.

He had some high school girls show up at his house offering "favors"  

He told them to get the F out. Called me a told about that. And alot of other things over the years I won't go into. 

Public schools are a cesspool of, well think about it.

No friggen way would I be giving my young kids the jab. Let this asshole use his grandkids to figure out how safe it is.

And people wonder why the unvaccininated haven't taken it yet. 

I do not and have never trusted these people 

I want the 90's back. 

IU Basketball was perenial contenders and social media wasn't a scourge on this earth.

Thanks for sharing.  Happy Birthday Coach!!

If I remember you spent some time with Coach Knight. 

I attended his basketball camps and had some limited one on one time when my dad would take me to Assembly Hall.

My dad was persistent and wouldn't take no for an answer. I guess Bobby respected that because he gave us a tour of his office and the locker rooms ect.  My dad must have been a bigger ass than I remember to make that happen.

I'm predicting it's Jimmy's girlfriend that dies. They really like to put his character through hard times

Endangered species can cause a ruckus...

When they were building Eglin's new control tower in the 90s, there was a wooded area between the building site and the airfield. They were simply going to cut it down until the found it was a nesting area for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker 😯

So, they added 30 feet to the height (250 feet) of the tower instead...at tax payer expense of course...

Or save a farm. My grandpa's farm was spared from I-69 because of the Indiana bats that lived on the property.
