season 4 and the kids has kinda sucked.

So wrong

Episode 3 of season 4 on right now........still pretty weak

 

[Ignoramus]

Took my 6 y.o. daughter to a neighborhood Christmas cabaret. I could truthfully say it was just people from the block, but when you live in the theater district, well, it's a helluva block. Pretty solid lineup of c-list Broadway entertainers. The showstopper, though, was the eighth and final performer...the original Wizard from the original cast...André De Shields. He did a bluesy sensual gospel church version of Santa Claus is Coming to Back in Town. Wearing a red on red suit, natch. My description doesn't do it justice, but HFS I had goosebumps.

The emcee was the legendary Ruby Rims. Chloe took one look & asked "Is that a boy in a dress?" There were about a dozen kids there so I was pretty relieved when Ruby let all the parents off the hook: "I was born on Halloween. Which pretty much explains...well, everything."

Pretty ducking magical night.

Sounds cool, BL.

 

[Abraham]

Ig - if this league is still going on next week I suggest we replace Redskins with non-Redskins lkke Jason witten. Maybe we should start jake locker to give the other team a chance?

 

[El Floppo]

pretty sure BobbyLayne and I won the fantasy.

 

[Annyong]

Our Bears looked pretty good last night.

 

[Otis]

I wouldn't mind if everybody knew I was banging Oat's wife.

 

[Henry Ford]

Our Bears looked pretty good last night.

I don't mean to pile on, but when you're making our Saints look good on the road... that's not a good look for a football team.

 

[BobbyLayne]

pretty sure BobbyLayne and I won the fantasy.

Sure am glad you talked me into ADP

Pretty sure logic was "going to catch 70 passes with that new OC"

We didn't give this one to Mike F, amirite?

to be fair, I don't exactly do any talking- it was all action while you weren't looking. eta: I would've gone Mergatroid if not ADP.

speaking of action...

have any of you been following the story about the NYC HS kid who made $73mil trading stocks during lunch?

Found out today that Ruby just retired last week. He's given out over 10,000 teddy bears to hospitalized children through a Judson Community Church annual event. I see him around all the time but had no idea what he did. I also found out he's been living with HIV for more than 25 years.

André has had one helluva life. I had to leave quickly to get my daughter to bed but stepped out a little later to pick up some milk, and walked by the venue. There was an afterglow crowd of 25-30 people speaking to the entertainers so I stopped in - thanked Ruby and the other singers for putting this together (last year it was a small orchestra of B'way musicians), then stood in line behind 5 actors so I could have a brief audience with De Shields. I generally don't get start struck but I was oddly nervous waiting. He was very warm and gracious to all.

Me, neither. But something of a legend in some circles. Funny as #### regardless.

re: the bolded, one would think. It didn't dawn on me what I was dragging my kid to, and after seeing several other friends of hers there I figured it would be like last year's event. Whatevs, turned out fine, but I'm just glad the lights were down when Ruby came on stage. Pretty sure I looked a bit horrified to realize what we were at, but its all good, turned out to be a really fun/funny/inspiring event.

A young Aaron Rudnicki, frustrated that the bill of his fitted hat keeps getting wet when he drinks from the water fountain, turns said hat around for the very first time.

This is the best thing I've read since The Grapes of Wrath.

I reallly liked that book.

You bought my book?

I wonder how well it would have done if it was sold under its original title, "The Raisins of Wrath". Publishers thought it would be too snooty for the common reader, thus it was changed over strenuous objections.

You should pay Otis' wife a visit. According to her in-laws, she loves some pickle.

Research was too expensive, IMO.

Me too, brother. Yes, I like to diss the food of BW3 like everybody else, but at 3pm, their happy hour fried pickles for $3 is hard to beat.

I do too. But I understand the criticism of their food. And their beer prices. But it's clean, beers are cold, come in big glasses, lotta TVs, decent looking gals working.

I do think I've mastered the wing ordering there. I order the traditional wings with a dry rub like Chipotle or Desert Heat and ask them to go very light on the seasoning as they tend to just dump a TON of the salty rub in there. Then I order a side of Caribbean Jerk sauce for dipping. This way, my hands don't look like I was performing an autopsy afterwards and I don't have to lap up sauce everywhere. TA DA!

The lie that begat a thousand lies.

His fictitious portfolio did beat the hell out of the S&P 500 index, though. Also, he's no idea where the reporter came up with that number or the rumors he started trading penny stocks at age 9.

That all took like, what, two days to unravel?
