Snowing in Carolina. Nice! Time to feed the Beast. GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Best NFL weekend of the season is finally here. I'm done with work in 45 minutes & will be making sure my couch is supportive the rest of the weekend. I predict the home teams prevail with the exception of Carolina. Hawks 30 Panthers 17. The Beast is back & they've been feeding him raw meat. Be very...

It would help if the 49ers had any hope of competing.
Fuck Roman Gabriel.

You're a surly old-timer. Finestkind!

Keeping in mind that they stole the team from LA in the first place...

I, I wish you could swim Like the dolphins Like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, forever and ever Oh, we can be heroes just for one day I, I will be King And you, you will be Queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be heroes just for one day ...

I'm watching a video of "Life on Mars" from the last tour now & getting misty. Bowie was one of my first faves & it has never faded. Some words from Tony Visconti: A tribute from Tony Visconti...... "He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best w...

I'm going to the emergency room now. Just in case...GO HAWKS! :D Whoa! Is that your way of saying it was a cardiac inducing end of the game, or are you having a problem? If you really are on the way to the emergency room i guess it's a silly request, but pls clarify when you have the chance. Cardia...

Just how boring is this Vikings-Seahawks game? I'm thinking in historical terms. But I suppose I'll have to stay awake to make a considered judgment and the odds are highly against that at this moment. I was expecting something like this with the weather conditions. Hawks just took lead....its hang...

I have often heard comments about west coasters watching early games. Nothing better than waking up, watching Fox pre game, the best one IMO, and watching football until 8:30 PM. How is that worse than watching until 11:30 on a "school night"? Biggest problem is it makes it hard to get in some yard...

Baby its cold outside! GO HAWKS!!!!!!

Not enough...docs have me on meds that don't mix well at all. I didn't go to docs for 20 years, now they are having their revenge! Bastards!

I'm probably going out on a limb here, but I'm proposing that David Bowie is the greatest rock musician of all time after the release of this latest album, Blackstar, at 69 years of age. On the back of a really good LP (The Next Day) a few years back his comeback is now cemented. All the other ackn...

"Lazarus" is my new "Heroes". Wow. The cd sounds waaaaaaay better than the download.

No Beast on Sunday. It's all on Russell W & the D now. GO HAWKS!

this thread ditched David Bowie in record time. Sorry about that! Neil & David are 2 of my fave artists. Obviously they are different musically but in some ways they are similar. Both have followed their muse for the most part rather than commercial considerations. I admire that a lot. I wish Bowie...

We got Here We Are in the Years in Seattle. Vampire Blues, LA & Time Fades Away all got played on the west coast swing. It was an awesome Neil tour!

I think the musicians Bowie used reenergized him much the same way Promise of the Real reenergized Neil Young. I'm curious how you think Promise of the Real "reenergized" Neil Young. The shows I saw them do together were excellent but then Neil is always excellent in a live setting. As for The Mons...

The new Bowie is unreal good (IMHO of course!). Very different. I think the musicians Bowie used reenergized him much the same way Promise of the Real reenergized Neil Young. "Blackstar" defies classification. Will be interested to see what other people think. Favorite song at this point (subject to...

It's going to be mighty chilly in Minnesota. The good news is the Beast is totally back & fresh for the post season. Sunday's game is looking like a running back affair. Nice matchup with AP & the Beast. I'm getting psyched!

My Seahawks were certainly impressive on Sunday. They were up 30-6 by halftime & that was against the Arizona "A" team. The Hawks dismantled them. I'm liking our chances to make it 3 Super Bowls in a row. If/when we get past the Vikings, we'll have Carolina the next week. Even though we lost during ...

"The Hateful Eight" was awesome! I wasn't wild about "Django" but really liked this one. Probably depends on how you feel about Tarantino. I saw the roadshow version & the presentation was very old school & cool. Worth the effort to see in that format. Spaghetti western meets Agatha Christie. Great ...

Leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning. Methinks there could be some NFL wagering going on Sunday! Very retro weekend (80s/90s). Seeing Jerry Seinfeld do standup on Saturday & the final (in theory) Motley Crue show outside of LA on Sunday. Looking forward to the mighty Seahawks smiting the St Louis/LA/I...

The aluminum pole is up. Let the airing of grievances & feats of strength begin. Festivus for the rest of us!

Rented this from Redbox this weekend. Quite a good documentary. I didn't really get into Amy Winehouse when she was current but have since. Was a little too much soap opera for me. What a talent though! Really great songs & what a voice. & of course a tragic story. Worth renting the movie for sure.

25% flash sale going on in the DBT store today. I scored a good shirt for $15. Not bad!

They're baaaaack.......Seahawks totally demolished the Vikings yesterday. Vikings only points came off of a kick off return. All facets of the game were on for the Hawks. Next 3 opponents are Ravens, Browns & Rams. We could be heading into week 17 10 & 5 to play Cards who may be in resting up for pl...

Working myself into a frenzy for Hawks/Vikings game tomorrow. 10AM kickoff here. Will need to start the voodoo ceremonies tonight...GO HAWKS!

Ahhhh, Minneapolis in January! Sounds lovely!

Thank you for the good wishes. I'm still walking & working, so it's all good. One advantage of working for 1 of the great corporate devils is I'm covered under the Family Medical Leave Act. As long as I do the paperwork, I'm bulletproof. That & the insurance coverage is key. With Patterson moving to...
