I can wait. They could never make another and I'd be okay with that.
Fuck that bald guido fuck in his fucking enormous fucking head.
 
Damon always loses the girl. See Rounders and Good Will Hunting.

Rounders is a certified classic. One of the ultimate late-'90s NYC flicks. I miss that on-the-millennium-cusp pre-smartphone/social network era when having stacks of cash and hustling across the city could still solve everything you needed to do in life instead of wirelessly PayPal-ling from your couch.

Me and my former work buddy would quote from that flick without warning whenever the situation was appropriate.

"All de time he check, check, check!"

"Don't splash the pot!"

"I need some scratch."

"Pay dat mahn his mahney!"


:D

I *might* have played a couple poker games while snowblind and reciting that flick word for word. Norton played the perfect down on his luck loser.

"Dees motherfuck, right heeeer."

Man, that shit came out in '98 and we're about to be three years away from 2020. I feel funny calling it a classic when I still remember going to go see it clear as yesterday.

Tryin' not to feel old, but...:D...where the fuck did the time go?
 
It is funny/odd to see what I considered to be eternally young people, in pics that show them to be grandmothers and grandfathers.

James Dean died when I was a baby. They are still displaying the pics that made him famous as a young man,in 2016.

Same pictures of him, for all of my life!

"I like things that are handmade and I like to see people's hand in the world, anywhere in the world; it doesn't matter to me where it is. And in my own work, I do everything by hand and feet. I don't project or use anything mechanical most of the time, because even though I do spend a lot of time trying to perfect my line work and my hand, my hand will always be imperfect because I'm human. And I think it's the part that's off that's interesting, that even if I'm doing really big letters and I spend a lot of time going over the line and over the line and trying to make it straight, I'll never be able to make it straight. From a distance it might look straight, but when you get close up, you can always see the line waver. And I think that's where the beauty is."

Margaret Kilgallen, artist (1967-2001)
 



• The Dakota Access Pipeline does not cross any land owned by the Standing Rock Sioux.

• The project’s developer and the Army Corps made dozens of overtures to the Standing Rock Sioux over more than two years. Other tribes and parties did participate in the process. More than 50 tribes were consulted, and their concerns resulted in 140 adjustments to the pipeline’s route.

• This isn’t about water protection. Years before the pipeline was announced, the tribe was working with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps to relocate its drinking water intake. The new site sits roughly 70 miles downstream of where the pipeline is slated to cross the Missouri River. Notably, the new intake, according to the Bureau of Reclamation, will be 1.6 miles downstream of an elevated railroad bridge that carries tanker cars carrying crude oil.






The malcontents, the zanies and the crackpots ignore the facts:

• Transporting oil by pipeline is the safest means of transport, far safer than transporting oil by rail or truck.

• Natural gas is used for heating millions of homes in America, and without pipelines Americans might not be able to heat their homes during the winter except by burning wood. Oil is the other alternative for heating, and is widely used in New England.

• Homeowners were hit with high prices for natural gas and electricity during the winter of 2013 due to insufficient supplies of natural gas because of pipeline inadequacy.

• Natural gas is used for power generation, which, with the closing of coal-fired power plants, is becoming more important for providing people with low-cost electricity.






Blocking pipelines from bringing natural gas to New England power plants is endangering those living in New England with the potential for blackouts.
