Winter is Icummen In: Lounge LC Thread
"Winter is icummen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm."

afraid the humane act of our elders sharing factual feats of their people and idols who aspired them into being has somehow become condensed into roadside signs prohibiting the littering of alternate thought within certain neighborhood limits
I remember watching the Clay/Liston fight. I must be getting old.
Where I used to live in Mansfield, MA, ex Patriots quarterback, Steve Grogan, owns the Grogan Marciano Sports Store. Used to run into Steve every so often because his son lived in the condo above me. Never met Rocky though.

Did you meet Peter Marciano, Rock’s younger brother? IIRC he lived well into his 90s.
Hagler & the Petronelli’s all being gone is like when Lemmy joined Philthy & Fast Eddie in the great local in the sky. Really driving in that the hourglass ain’t getting turned over.
Hagler won the title 9/27/80 and Ace Of Spades was released a couple weeks later. Should’ve been a great time & launching pad for 15yo me.
I wonder who the last undisputed champion after Hagler was who was never a fractional champion at any point in his career?
Spoiler
Buster Douglas?
I just discovered the 2025 documentary I Am Joe Frazier on CW tonight and it’s extraordinary.
NOT IDEAS ABOUT THE THING BUT THE THING ITSELF
At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
In the early March wind.
The sun was rising at six,
No longer a battered panache above snow…
It would have been outside.
It was not from the vast ventriloquism
Of sleep’s faded papier-mâché…
The sun was coming from outside.
That scrawny cry—it was
A chorister whose c preceded the choir.
It was part of the colossal sun,
Surrounded by its choral rings,
Still far away. It was like
A new knowledge of reality.
Happy Friday the 13th!
If you can make it until tommorrow without getting hacked to death by a maniac wearing a hockey mask you should consider today a huge success! Me? I'm staying in so hopefully I should be safe 😀

are we recrystalizing likes for these jason voorhees groundhog day memories already again?
Lots of stuff going on here in mid February!
Pitchers and catchers reported this week!
Yesterday was Lincolns birthday
Today is Friday the 13th
Tomorrow is Valentines Day
Monday is Presidents Day
Wednesday is Ash Wednesday
Seems too early for pitchers and catchers but bring it on! Can't wait for baseball season 😀
honestly, also not born yesterday, your pitch about catchers chasing for these horrible throws in training camp crystalizes my like of the matter
you surprisingly lobbed that one up too easy so i took a pass on it
How come it's always "Valentine's Day", except when it's the "Saint Valentine's Day Massacre"?
Almost Spring!
74F yesterday. 25F today. 74F Tuesday. C'mon spring!
85 now. 33 tonight. 98 next Saturday. Starting the planning stages for 2 months in Alaska to get away from this shithole for the summer months. C'mon up goldie!
Right on! I'd like to hear stories. see pictures of your adventure.
Alaska is amazing. Incredible scenery. Bring super-strength mosquito repellent.
you goin' fishin' mark?
ever hook a fat chinook?
Still ****ing cold here in RI. So I'm planning a trip, maybe two, for the summer. Already going to Hilton Head for a week in early May.
Then maybe to California to visit the cousins. Finally, London with a side trip to Paris for a day or two.
I hate traveling alone to Europe, but mostly because I'd rather sit next to someone I know on the flight. I can negotiate the rest on my own.

I had a 7a but decided to upgrade because Amazon was selling them for $499 and a $100 gift certificate.
It took me a week to figure out how to get back into my account here though. I figured you needed me back because I'm the only mod, even though I don't need to mod often.

Surely you've tried signing out and signing back in? Maybe sign out/in on a computer instead of your "Pixel 10a using Tapatalk"? Probably want to be sure to sign in on the forumserver.twoplustwo.com site as the new site also can randomly assign a weird username to you. Delete tapatalk and use the phone's browser?
Went up to put gas in the truck just now. Prices went up $0.24/gallon between the time I walked by and got up there (~1 hour), so that made me a little sad.
Anyway, when I jumped in, Tiny Dancer was just finishing up. Next song started, thumping drum and bass line...Enter Sandman.
Seemed like an unusual juxtaposition.
Trying Again
