@Drewbydoo [picking up from the game thread exchange]

Yeah, that clip is the first half of that club scene. Too many closeups in the first half to catch the full 60s visual vibe. Unless you just dislike early Beatles music, Hard Day's Night is actually a highly regarded movie by critics. Groundbreaking in its time; quickly copied-to-death by everyone marketing to the teen scene, but only superficially. Definitely worth a summer's evening hangout movie.

So how did y'all do with the dance moves? Figure y'all nailed the Hully Gully, but did anybody figure out the nitty gritty? That kid in the front became a noted choreographer, appearing in several movies. Some of those moves I've only seen before or since in Charlie Brown animated specials!

What I know about dance is purely appreciation from afar. In all the sports I played (except tennis) my footwork was in reaction to what my opponent was doing. My brain doesn't know how to initiate movement (other than to the fridge). My late wife tried for 33 years to teach me how to waltz, and I never could stay on track for more than a few measures before I lost the groove. Like I said... appreciation from afar.

You predicted well. Hully Gully wasn't difficult. Once we started trying to learn Nitty Gritty, we knew we were in over our heads (at least initially), but one roommate, started playing it on a loop at half speed and then quarter speed to "see what the heck is going on" because it's "much more difficult than it looks". That one roommate, Marc, is 5'10" -ish and currently pretty light (150-160lbs) who used to weigh, 170. So he's the lightest on his feet compared to me and my best friend/brother.

So... we haven't worked that hard at it yet. I DID send my mom the movie reference/critics review and she'd like to watch that with me/us or with my friends and my gf, because she thinks my gf would like it. Thanks for the critics review btw.

Currently, we're (my friends) are headed to the Braves game and going to meet my GF and parents there for Padres game while we listen to Wilkerson. I'm going to see if I can get the UT game on one of the TV's in AT&T's box, but we'll see. For all I know etiquette wise, that might be rude and need to call my dad to see if I should request that or not. If not, we'll get it going on an Ipad.

Go Vols.

He would not have been in the CWS with a bought team but he still would have been a high draft pick. I wanted him to come to Tennessee whenever he was in the transfer portal but after I thought about it, I don’t agree with taking kids from the military schools. Their commitment is not only the school, but to our country’s military. That loser turned his back on them and I didn’t want him because of that.

Well I would rather win with him than lose to him. He was leaving regardless.

Will they be teaching people how to let $16M walk out of your bank account unnoticed? Best way I can think to honor Ohtani.
