  1. +1 to all of the above. There's a great little coffee shop in Collinwood called the Dragonfly. I'm not a coffee drinker but they have other good non-coffee frozen drinks and some fantastic baked goods. Tupelo, MS makes for a good place to stop for the night. There's not a ton there but it does have some interseting Elvis stuff and a few good restaurants and local shops. It's a cute little town.
  2. Tom Selleck tried hard to get it to another network (even a cable network) but CBS owns it and wouldn't sell it. Not only did they pitch one of their best rated shows in the bin, they intentionally buried it.
  3. All that really matters this week is the seeding in the playoffs, not the AP poll. Texas and Penn St. only dropped 2 spots in the AP, but fell to the 5 and 6 seeds and lost the bye. That hurts. As for Alabama, Clemson sealed their fate. I'm somewhat surprised the committee picked SMU. Money talks and Alabama means eyeballs-on-advertisements and SMU doesn't. I think SMU earned a chance this year and 'Bama really didn't but I'm still surprised. Maybe they didn't want to get rotten vegetables thrown at them if they'd put SEC and Big 10 teams in 2/3rds of the slots of the first ever playoffs ostensibly sold as a way to give teams outside the SEC and Big10 a shot. 7 out of 12 was as far as they'd go. ASU in the #4 spot and the bye isn't a surprise. They won a Power 4 championship with a blow out. If SMU hadn't Vandy'd up the ACC finish with Clemson, I think SMU would have the 4 seed. I'd have liked Boise St. in the 4 seed, but Big-12 > MW.
  4. No picture or URL so I don't know which model you're looking at. For good heating in a space that size, I'd prefer an oil-filled radiator. They take a few minutes to warm up, but are good for long-term heating needs. The little ceramic heaters heat up faster and are more portable, but mine don't heat a large room very well.
  5. Why not just coat it in RhinoLiner at that point . . .
  6. #TRUTH I broke my femur right at the ball joint to the hip when I was 6. It's now the best barometer in the world.
  7. smoking something . . . A minty one went to auction last year and fetched $480K. So 2 for the price of 3 seems excessive just because of consecutive S/Ns, but admittedly, I don't play in that rarified air so what do I know?
  8. I gotta disagree with #4. Real ramen from a good ramen place is nothing like Maruchan instant or Cup-O-Noodles. That's like comparing Waffle House T-Bones to Ruth's Chris
  9. I can't count that way. "one" "two" "many" sounds like "one too many" and we know that's not true.
  10. He forgot to #RestompThatGroin
  11. Man, You guys are lucky. I lost all mine when the dog flipped the boat over.
  12. It's the 46th anniversary of the great WKRP Turkey Drop!
  13. Not gold plated, but . . .
  14. If you're worried about an imminent collapse of society, then buy what you can when you can. If you want the lowest cost per round, then it's usually best to buy in bulk. Use websites like LuckyGunner, AmmoSeek, and AmmoMan to find the best deals. Occasionally I'll find a deal at an estate sale, but lately their prices have mostly been higher than retail.
  15. I love how in the original comics the Batmobile is just some random car. First it was a coupe, then a convertible. Top up, Bruce Wayne. Top down, BATMOBILE!!!!!!!
  16. Stones River info here: https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/twra/hunting/firing-ranges.html#stonesriver They have active range safety officers who can be overbearing, but there's a very good reason for it. It's the busiest range in the state. Personally I won't shoot at their handgun range. Too many idiots whose idiocy is faster than RSOs can react. The rifle side is better. There's also the Cheatham WMA: https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/twra/hunting/firing-ranges.html#cheatham I've never been but hear it's isolated and since it's self-service with no RSOs, watch yourself.
  17. It's because they took a perfectly normal intersection and made it near impossible to know exactly WHICH road you're exiting onto unless you're a regular user who's memorized it. The signage absolutely SUCKS. You can't read the street names until you're either exiting onto it or already passing it. I'm only in that thing once every several years and invariably have to cut across some random alley or side street to get to the road I THOUGHT I was exiting towards.
  18. And all the lady parts were compatible with Kirk.....
  19. Wal-Mart of the Seas
  20. Mrs. 'lizard and I just returned from a few days at New River Gorge which is the newest to reach National Park status. It was a great trip. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a few days away. The hiking trails vary for all skill levels and if you're into adventure, there's lots of rock climbing and of course river paddling. The Bridge Walk looks AMAZING but Mrs. 'lizard is afraid of heights and by the time she talked herself into doing it, it was booked up, so if you want to do it, book that ahead of time. There are plenty of scenic drives for the less adventurous types. 1 to 2 full days is probably plenty for most folks in the bridge area. Of course if you're doing the river paddling or other adventure tours stuff, that will take up more time so account for that. We didn't venture southwards to the rest of the park down around Beckley, WV. There's a mine tour/museum there and an old mining/rail ghost town that looked neat and would probably be worth a day to explore. Maybe for the next visit!
  21. As long as you didn't see Liberace KISS AC/DC
  22. My generation learned to drink with Mad Dog, Colt, and MGD. This generation drinks White Claw. We are not the same.
  23. I blame Glock's dumb numbering system. I swear it's as bad as Por-shah's. Must be a Teutonic thing.
  24. @10-Ring I think you may have missed that Moped got the Glock 21 trade-in which is .45 ACP. Not the Glock 22 which is a .40. So you suggested Moped change his .45 to a respectable caliber . . . oops.
