Nope.  Just left the Angels.  That's HUGE news!*

John Prine left Sturgill Simpson his 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo in his will.

Smackie's mind is completely blown by this triangulation.  Literally dropped my beer when I heard this.

Just Icing on the cake for Smackie today.....

New Radicals Reunite for Joe Biden's Inauguration

"It is for that reason that the song has significance to the Biden family. In his memoir Promise Me, Dad, President Biden reveals that his son Beau used “You Get What You Give” as a psych-up song for his chemotherapy treatments, and when it became clear that his brain cancer was inoperable, the family continued to play it for him to keep his spirits up. In honor of Beau, First Gentleman Doug Emhoff uses it as his walk-on music. It’s in the pantheon."

Watch at the 1 hour 17 minute mark in this video.

EDIT:  Thanks Sweetcell!

PBS cut out the performance, so no need to fast-forward: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfcWpXadQPY

I submitted this photo to our wedding photographer:



Originally the plan was for the groomsmen and DJ to be ridden by lesbian bike chariot along the waterfront to the wedding venue.  At the time we lived by the ballpark in SF.

And I wanted to stop at the arrow outside Gap HQ and sit on the lawn and take that photo in my tux:



The photog was in, I told him the whole story about the New Radicals and the album cover, etc...

But.....

A couple months before the wedding, we found a house, bought it and the whole "ride bike chariots and take that photo" got lost as we moved to the other side of the city so it never happened.

Still love that song.  Still regret not taking that photo....

I always thought this was a fake picture:

I found the Bay Area hill in Windows XP's iconic wallpaper

If you would have posted this in my thread where I answer all things Olivia Wilde and hate on Jason Sudeikis, I could have told you sooner that she's saying "I'm Olivia Wilde, Welcome to the GQ Comedy Issue"

*ahem*

I have so much to say about this and I'm surprised it's taken this long to be brought up.

When I first read the headline, I thought they were referring to the actress playing "Keeley" (Juno Temple) and I thought, what a downgrade she is to Olivia.  Then I realized it was the lass Jamie Tart brought to the ball and thought - I could see that.  As I told The Brand when we watched that episode, Bex is way hotter than Keeley, Jamie should do that.  The Brand did not agree.  I'm gonna run this new fling past her and see her reaction...also, how many times can Jason over-achieve?  I still hate him. Oh, and she is hardly a co-"star" - what was she in, two episodes?

Obviously Olivia is over correcting for her mistake with Jason with this Harry Styles guy and that has no staying power.  Two wrongs don't make a right, Olivia.  But, you should know the half-your-age-plus-7 corollary does not apply to women.  This is called the Mrs Robinson Exception, and we're talking Cougar Town now.  Totally acceptable.
