Not voting is a little silly, imo, but I can see why some folks opt out. Voting for a third party, though? That's great if that's what you feel is best. I realize the whole "throw away" vote argument, but really, it's not a thrown away vote if that's what you feel in your heart to do. If you feel like "screw either of the big candidates," then you should vote for who you would rather personally see in there, regardless of the fact that person has no legitimate shot. That's the problem, imo, is people kowtowing to people telling them not to vote this way or that in order to not waste a vote. S

we need a 2016 thread (with a nod to poon)....

His age will still be a big factor in the length of the contract,though. 7 yrs/$175 M for a 31/32 yr old non-tobacco chewing ex-junkie is pushing it....

He's 31 or 32 now, right? Crazier things have happened but I just don't see him getting a guaranteed 7 yrs for that amount of money. He's had a good amount of health issues, too.

He'll be lucky to get 3 yrs.

Or, if you've got it, spend it. Seems to be the prevailing theme.

You mean...man, what a bitch.

cans and cans and cans of beer and bottles of booze and bags of pot.... ...I thought I'd be dead by now.....but I'm not.

Rickie Lee Jones, The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard

Is it? I've been disappointed with most of the stuff he's put out the past 10-15 yrs or so.

Yes. I also like the new Green Day, Uno.

Always recall the Richmond '85 shows on 11.1, 11.2 this time of year. Smoking shows on rainy nights. 1985 was a rough year, at times, and Garcia looked pretty bad and his voice was shot often. But, these shows really stick out as gems for that year. I believe one of the nights (Dancin' opener) is a DP.

Are these actors and their movies or playwrights/plays or bands or what?

No, grew up in Guilford. Haven't lived there in over 25 yrs though. Hope you and family have a generator or a fireplace or something.

I'd rather what Golden Girls re-runs for compelling television if it means it's not a close race.

I first heard of him through the "RIP Terry Callier" thread.

Different bro. Lawyer. He starts fires, not puts 'em out. Two bros are firefighters in NYC. One in Floral Park (L.I.) and the other recently moved from Rockaway Beach in Queens to north of the city. Rockaway Beach had a bunch of homes burn up during the storm that firefighters couldn't even get to in order to help due to the flooding.

Have two brothers and their families in Guilford, Ct (hometown) and one bro sent a pic of him travelling home last night only to have the road close to his home engulfed in flames. The town had gotten power turned on a little earlier and transformers were 'sploding. Power's out for another day or so.

Come on. They are hipster bands and you and I both know it. It's o.k., though, I was just making an observation.

$100 per hot dog is gouging.

Ditto for me JGB Bushnell '82. Ferocious.

Wrong thread, dud.

"The Gainesville dig," we always referred to the Alligator Alley 11.29.80 "Other One" Phil intro. Don't know why I mention this, just popped into my head with the Phil bombs talk.

Too long for Strasburg, maybe. I don't know, maybe a week or 2 shorter would be nice.

Halloween is so fun. I always paint a pentagram on the side of my house and try to get the kids to pay homage to our Dark Lord.
