I didn't survive Bear Grylls
I loved Les Stroud, but let's face it. He was TERRIBLE at surviving. That's why he had to quit doing the shows. He could never find anything to eat and it was messing with his health to go 7-8 days at a stretch with no food. -

I didn't survive Bear Grylls
I tried watching "I Survived Bear Grylls" last night for the first time and I only lasted 10 minutes before I switched channels in disgust. Grylls has finally succeeded in turning the survival genre of reality TV into a clown circus. It was just totally unwatchable. I've enjoyed other Grylls... -

Friday OT #1 - Even Better Than the Real Thing
I don't have a Costco anywhere near me. In fact, I've never even seen a Costco in my travels. -

Friday OT #1 - Even Better Than the Real Thing
I bought a 37-inch Olevia TV almost 15 years ago now (they went out of business in 2008, so it may have been even longer ago than that) for $699. This was at a time when TVs that size were going for twice the money. I did some research and relied heavily on a consumer guide rating of 37 inch... -

Quaron Adams questions
I only saw a brief mention of him from practice reports. It may have even been in the spring game, but I can't be for certain. I vaguely recall someone he may have been running with the ones at one point in the game, but just not sure. Sorry, I'm old and forgetful. -

On That Note: Which Way You Going, Billy?
Ventura Highway. I've actually driven on it and sang the song the whole way. Georgia. Went there for the 1976 Peach Bowl Sweet Home Alabama. Toured the USS Alabama in Mobile Bay. New York State of Mind. Spent a couple of days there, which was enough for me. -

CCR revival?
Like I said, I visit iTunes regularly and this is the first time I've ever seen more than one or two older recordings on the charts and they are usually tied to a recently released movie. Your "simple" theory doesn't explain why four CCR tunes and three Creed tunes are listed in the top 100. I... -

CCR revival?
So I was just perusing the iTunes Top 100 and what do I see. Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR, count 'em FOUR, CCR songs in the top 100, all originally released in 1968. They included "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," No. 8; "Bad Moon Rising," No. 30; "Fortunate Son," No. 35; and "Down on the... -

What are you reading?
I've read several Greg Bear books. I'm usually not a big sci-fi guy, but Bear's books, most of them anyway, didn't seem as far-fetched as I find most sci-fi books to be. -

What are you reading?
I just bought the Willa Cather Great Plains Trilogy off Kindle for 99 cents. Now I know I've read some Cather before, but it was so long ago, I don't remember which book(s) I read. It was probably during my 6th grade through about freshmen year when I was obsessed with reading the classics from... -

Friday OT #2 - It Was the Worst of Times
I've read Heart of Darkness, but I never realized that Apocalypse Now was loosely based on it. I read the book not that long ago, many, many years after the movie came out. -

Friday OT #1 - Not Gonna Do It
I feel the same way about joining a club to get discounts. You know like paying an annual premium to a bookstore so I can take a buck or two off each book I buy, or getting a membership to a movie theater so they'll take a buck or two off every time I go there, or paying a premium to a food... -

UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"
Can someone fill me in? I haven't watched one episode of Skinwalker Ranch because, frankly, i have so many programs DVR'd on Tuesday that I don't have room for another one. But I've seen clips and each one leaves me more confused than the last. What exactly are they hoping to find/prove/disprove...- Bipolarcy

What TV show are you streaming right now?
I just started watching Cowboy Bebop on Netflix, starring John Cho as an intergalactic bounty hunter. The first episode was good, so I'll probably watch the rest. This is the TV series, not the comic. There's only 10 episodes. I read somewhere that Cho tore his ACL or MCL or one of those... -

Friday OT #2 - Take, Take, Take
Mine are all dead. I could really vibe with George Carlin, I think, unless he started doing drugs again. Another guy I could have a beer with is Gordon Lightfoot. -

Scotland trip
If it were me, I'd be hopping on a boat or two and visiting some of the archipelagos of Scotland, like the Hebrides, Orkney, Sheltland and the Faroe Islands. Some of those islands have their own castles on them as well. Didn't Jed Clampett buy a castle in Scotland? -
