Man, just saw the thread and we's already 6 pages deep and well into round one. Sorry, been a busy week for me, but appreciate the heads up, love y'all. Worried about committing 'cause I'll likely be busy 'til Thursday, but I'll keep track and see if there's any chance of joining along the way!

Pouring one out for everyone's $11.

Portuguese, and it'd been even longer on that front, since I had an English-heavy education. It's a language beautifully and devilishly suited to baroque academic writing, I must say.

Brazil is...lordt, a bleepshow, but I'm okay, GBs, I'm okay! Full disclosure, I did catch the 'rona last November (despite feeling I was taking the proper precautions!), which in my case led to headaches, general weariness/joint pain and loss of the senses of smell/taste, but I quarantined at home and maanged to get over it relatively fine. My sense of smell/taste are still not back to 100%, I feel, but other than that, I'm hanging in there. Alas, my flakin' out on ze drafts has more to do with me being flustered about finishing my thesis paper for my conference interpreting post-grad program, due by the end of June! It'd been ages since I last wrote this sort of thing. Love y'all! Round 343?! Holy crap, I'll try to catch up on the thread at some point!

One Rams win and 1.5 Negronis in, gonna have to catch up and wait

oh no skip me for now, y'all, sorry. Got work to turn in tomorrow, will make up my pick(s) afterwards

A familiar feeling. Again, #in despite not having figured out the rules yet.

12-team PPR Gave: Joshua Kelley (to the Ekeler owner) Got: 2021 2nd, 2021 3rd, Ryan Fitzpatrick (likely late picks; had no decent backup QB)

I don't generally wear them, but I'd say the cargo shorts hate has become something of an overblown meme. They can work perfectly for everyday use, depending on what else you're wearing.

Double post, so I'll use it to applaud the "Cherry Bomb" pick. Was one of the songs that came up on my DID shuffle-through the other day.

All-time great group vocals.

Sorry I couldn't take part in this one, y'all. Been a busy month and I was a bit drafted out after the mammoth album draft, but I'll try to power skim through the topic. Good time to post, by the way, because the last shuffle on the DID Album Playlist was nice as hell, though I failed to keep a proper list. Cheers, fellow scoundrels.

Gonna wait 'til I'm done with S3 to read the thread (which will hopefully be Monday), but I can say without hyperbole that the first two seasons were up there with the best television I've seen. Hope more people give it a try, 'cause I feel it's worth way more recognition than it gets.

More for me on the island!

Welcome to the island, GB! Hope you dig the Negronis! I've been lax on the album listening experiment (my bad, I do plan on getting back to it), though the shuffle's been killer this past couple of days.
