    I'm sure they'll lose immediately in the Wild Card against the Yanks, but it's been a very fun season. Lot of young guys and promise. Chapman has been a stud. Just hope they don't trade everyone and unnecessarily hit the reset button like they always do.

    I think it should only be usable one-time and only for first round draft picks.

    I'm also not the biggest fan of KK donuts. This is local bullshittery, but I dig Bob's Donuts in SF. They're open 24/7 on one of the prime party streets and, unlike many things-SF, they just have normal donut flavors. They also have a McCheese-friendly donut simply titled "The Big Donut"...

    I think Burfict is a piece of shit. And you love AJ too. C'mon, man.

    I feel like Graham isn't nearly the dominant force he was in NOLA. Don't think he's the greatest TE to use as an elite metric.

    I never use lube when jacking it. But I've got a lot of jacking it years ahead of me and I'm sure my methods will mature as time goes on.

    I've honestly never heard of this being a thing with headphones. I've heard of this for brand new speakers in amps when you need to break them in. They say you're supposed to play brand new speakers at very high volumes but I always thought that's just audiophile ridiculousness. I'd wait for...

    Yeah I have a Fender Deluxe and it gets stupid loud. The office is a really big warehouse/loft style space and I brought it there where I can turn it at most to the whopping level of 4 (out of 12) when I stay late and want to crank it. It vibrates the entire floor of a seven story building at...

    I noticed that stat about the Bengals during the game yesterday. Very few three and outs in this young season. The offense does look considerably better than last year. But you can tell it lost a lot of punch without Green and Mixon in the lineup in yesterday's second half.

    No 49ers fan will ever get sympathy from me. They could have 15 straight years of 5- win seasons and it still wouldn't compare to Bengals fandom.

    When I punch the strings I want that to come through. When I palm mute and lightly play I want that to come through. Solid state amps tend to just amplify everything to the same level.

    I played a solid state amp a couple weeks ago for the first time in over 10 years maybe. Fucking garbage. You lost almost all dynamic touch with a solid state amp.

    Still plenty for the Lions fuck this up, but they might have this. Pats look bad. Stupid penalties, dropped passes, Brady looking off, allowing the Lions historically terrible running game look good.

    That Keeley mod is solid. I had one of those but ditched it when I stopped playing as much metal.

    Overall I agree. There are other better niche boutique pedals but Boss pedals are very high quality overall. Except their distortion/overdrive pedals. They sound like ass.

    Damn that's probably game. Bad pass by Dalton there. Actually it looks like Ross just completely gave up on the play. Fuck that guy.

    I don't know what the deal is. Dalton rarely even targets him. I figure they would at least call a go route or two per game with his breakaway speed.

    Boyd has stepped up big time with AJ's absence. And John Ross continues to be the worst top 10 draft pick the Bengals have had in the past 15 years.

    I remember when a rule was made for Carson Palmer. One of the first passes of the game was a bomb to Chris Henry. Palmer goes down that play. Steelers win eventually. Fuck. That one hurt.
