— DrewM The Pro Bowl is the Open Thread of the football world so combining the two seems to make sense.
Apparently the Grammys are on as well. I'm pretty sure I've never heard of most of these people, let alone listened to their music, so I'll be skipping that. Yeah, I'm getting old. Now get off my lawn!

I don't watch you, but I'd rather watch you than the Oscars. At least the People's Choice Award noms are actually movies I'm more likely to watch. If the movie is nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, I probably haven't seen it and won't.

I hate the in-jokes the host always has with the audience, too. It's always shit only people in the industry would understand half the time, or people who obsess over Hollywood. Why bother televising it? No one watches it. The only part of the Oscars I like is the montage of the stars that died in the last year.

Yeah how about that 50 yard TD pass by Aaron Rogers where the left DE just pulled up and stopped and let him throw the ball. I don't need to keep watching after that. Maybe if they made the game count, just a little, like they did with the MLB all-star game, by making the outcome count for something, they players would care about winning, and it would be something worth watching. Not as it is now. Of course, it's still better than the Grammys......

There was something awhile back about celebs not paying taxes on the swag bags. They're supposed to because the bags are worth thousands of dollars and of course no one ever did. I think they had to stop giving the bags out for awhile lest they run afoul of the IRS.

Myrtle Beach has gotten a bit stuffy in the past few years - trying to be more "family friendly", I guess. We live about four hours from there, it's a nice day trip but I wouldn't plan a vacation there if I could go somewhere else.

Oops. I blame 8 years of the same tired old re-posting of the last administration for that mistake.
Damn, I have to stop listening to Obama.
So here's a scary thought. As the reviewer points out Cameron sold this movie to the public because he knows how to hit the mushy parts of people's brains. The plot is not only bad, but offensive. And Cameron's ilk spend day after day preforming the same assault on the American electorate with similar methods...

It's been quite a few years since I lived back east, but isn't it kinda
muggy in Florida and the Carolinas in July... or is that more towards
August?
FL is muggy all through summer. And I think it's great. But I'm a freak who loves humidity.

Cajun in Hell
A Cajun who died went to hell.
The devil assigned him the usual punishment...put him in the mass pit where
the heat was melting others. The devil came back sometime later surprised
to find the Cajun just sitting around, not even misting, much less sweating.
"How come you're not so much as sweating here where everyone else is
screaming for relief from the heat?"
The Cajun laughed and said, "Man, I was raised in the bayous of Sout
Looziana. Dis ain't nothin' but May in Morgan City to me!"
The devil decided to really put the Cajun through it. He put him in a sealed
off cave in the pit with open blazes and four extra furnaces blasting. When
he came back, days later, the Cajun was sitting pretty, had barely begun to
bead up with sweat. The devil was outraged.
"How is this possible!? You should be melted to a shrieking puddle in
these conditions!."
The Cajun laughed even harder than before. "Hey, man! I done tole you.
I was raised in Sout Looziana. You tink dis is heat?! Dis ain't nothin'
but August in Cow Island !"
So the devil thought, 'Alright, a little reverse ought to do the trick.' He
put the Cajun into a corner of hell where no heat ever reached. It was
freezing and to add to the Cajun's misery, he added massive icebergs and
blasting frozen air. When he returned, the Cajun was shivering, ice hung
from every part of him but he was grinning like it was Christmas.
Exasperated, the devil asked "HOW!? How is it possible?! You're
impervious to heat and here you sit in conditions you can't be used
to...freezing cold and yet you're happier than if you were in heaven.
WHY?!"
The Cajun kept grinning and asked, "Don't dis mean de Saints won da Super
Bowl?"

Why don't you go to Disney World. There's a lot of appealing things for teen age girls to do and they would probably love it.
Or to Williamsburgh and then hit Virginia Beach.
I could never spend more than three days on a beach vacation. I get bored. I like activist vacations where I need a vacation from my vacation when I come home but I've seen every museum and point of interest that there was to see and eaten everything regional that there was to eat.

IMO, Israel doesn't have enough nuke ordinance to do that, or the delivery systems to put it on target that far away. OTOH, we do...
If I were Ajad and I had at least two working nukes, I do one test shot out in the Iranian desert, then send Ogabe a message telling him the other one was already in NYC or D.C. (even if it wasn't) and "Oh by the way Barry, here is what we need you to do if you don't want this nuke to go off [insert list of crazy demands here]".
