In honor of Tempo's Mack trade take and Spark's Eddie Van Halen take, we may as well have a spicy take thread:
I say bring back the death penalty. Fuck those losers who shot the lady cop on the traffic stop. Electrocute their asses.

What was Spark’s EVH take?

End Capitalism as we know it.

No more loans for Tempo.
Straight cash.

What are your 3 favorite bands? Bet I’ve never heard of 2 of them.
-
That he sucked.
Back to EVH his songwriting isn’t extraordinary for the most part. But his sound and his tone were just unsurpassed. I’ve read several stories of accomplished guitar players playing his gear and they sounded like well, themselves. He was an innovative genius not just playing, but creating a sound.
-
I remember reading on a bathroom stall wall a few decades ago that
VH sucks without DLR
-
We all saw what a stellar career DLR had without EVH.
-
DLR was definitely the weak link in that band. Templeman said they had to spend all kinds of time getting his parts "right". At the same time, they wouldn't have been what they were without him. Hagar is a far better singer. Then, and especially now, which is crazy considering Sammy is what, 72 years old?
-
Yeah, but to me, DLR just had that presence.
Yes, but have you seen him lately? What a fruitcake. A shell of his former self - a vaudevillian-esque, laugh-at-my-own-jokes, balding, used up old man wearing Liberace clothing. He was the coolest cat on the planet at one time.
-
We all saw what a stellar career DLR had without EVH.
Which just might have something to do with the fact that he no longer had an extraordinary songwriter writing his songs.
This claim that Eddie didn't write great songs (in his genre) is laughable. VH sold 80 million records. Did they fool everybody?

Hipsters brewing beer and trying to tell me how to enjoy it doesn’t really do it for me.
Cf. "wine tasting"

You're gonna make rob jealous with all that hair.

One time, I was on a business trip for work. Which I didn’t want to go on, but whatever, I had to.
So, part of this foray into awesomeness was to do some team building/bonding bullshit. And after a day of horseshit, we went on some “booze cruise” dipshit bus tour through town of craft breweries.
As you might guess, I’m not into it. Hipsters brewing beer and trying to tell me how to enjoy it doesn’t really do it for me. At all.
So, they take us in their tour, and show us the vats and all that bullshit, and it’s time for them to educate us. So this douche pours a beer in a certain special glass, and begins to tell me all about how you have to swirl it a certain way to bring out the tannins, and blah blah brewing process.
So I grabbed the glass out of his hand and pounded it. Of course it sucked, 99% of craft beers do. I made a face and he started in with the tannins and all that bullshit again.
I said “it’s fucking beer, it’s not the Mona Lisa. Your beer sucks. Sorry, bud.”
So, basically, what I’m trying to say is I know what I like. It’s not craft beer.
Real team player. Bet you are awesome during sexual harassment training!

Don’t disagree. Dave helped them get to point B. But they were limited with him artistically.
-
Haha, no. He was kinda losing it when he left VH, so it's not shocking.
Dave was in for the theater, not the music.

Hate to agitate Jobu when he’s been really mellow for a couple of days, but that was a dbag move.
-
What beer do you like?
-
What kind of beer is regular?
-
I don't like Märzen beers, as a rule. They can't make up their minds.
I love me some Hefeweizen, but I'd avoid Tucher if anything better is available. I like IPA up to about 7.5 abv. Belgian ale and barley wine is gross to me. If I want something stronger, I'd rather just have something stronger.
Light domestic lager can be refreshing. A lot of it is pretty nasty, though. PBR and Old Style are both gross. I thought Miller Beer (red label, available only for about a year in the mid 90s) was great while RedDog (same time frame, same brewery) was disgusting.
I just had some Cass ("the #1 beer in Korea") and thought it was fine. 4.5 abv and not very hoppy.
Breckenridge makes a Vanilla Porter that I like a lot. Porters in general are a good fit for me. I like Guinness, too. It's a light lager, but dark in color.
Boddington's, Old Speckled Hen and similar are excellent in that nitrogen infused vein.
-

He said he like Bud Light, so he likes swill.
-
For the record, I'm trying to be nice on here.
I’ve noticed. Commendable.
-
What beer do you like?
That's funny.
-
Do you guys do sexual harassment training in a team atmosphere? Because we just watch an online video.
What the fuck does my being a team player, or not, have to do with sexual harassment training? Are you fucked up or something?
It sounded like a work event. Ergo, one may want to be diplomatic as some higher up approved thr event and, one would surmise, thought it would be cool and enjoyable for the work peons, such as yourself. Said big wig may be offended by your brutal honesty.
If you act like that at an outside work event, I was thinking you would be a real.peach during sexual harassment training.

This almost reads like something I’d have written. Except Guinness is a stout ale.
-
I have some news for Jobu: “Good Old Beer” like Bud Light is a relatively new invention unlike shitty new age IPA craft beers that have been around since the 18th century. Or porters. Or stouts. Or Hefeweizen. Or Marzen.
“Good old beer” is actually what craft brewers have breathed new life into. That said, yeah a light American adjunct lager tastes good af on a hot summer day and I unashamedly keep a 30 pack of Busch in my garage fridge without fail.
-
You actually should be ashamed to keep that in the beer fridge
-
You’re wrong.
-
You’re wrong.
Never trust a Busch fart.
-
Ah. Ok.
It actually was an enjoyable event. I just had to bust the hipster’s balls. Dude was making a good living hawking his shitty beer, so I’m sure he didn’t lose much sleep over me being a douche. Lol
You do you, Scottie P.
-
Guinness is a stout ale.
I have no dog in this fight.
A man named Bill, who was the Hamberg Distribution rep at the time, explained the process to me.
He bought a pint of Guinness every time he came in. Tempo will tell you that distribution employees are the best customers.
Bill was the Hamberg draught specialist. He knew everything there was to know about draught brews.
He'd been to Dublin. He'd visited the factory. He explained the process.
I was instinctively disinclined to believe him. But I try to check my own ignorance, even if it's more fun to check others.
Shruggy emoticon.

Not a super duper spicy take, but I predict Justin Fields will be the best quarterback in Chicago Bears history.
-
I’ve been to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Cool tour. Interesting story I was told on the tour is that Arthur Guinness created Guinness by basically inadvertently burning a batch of beer. Then continued to burn it to see what would happen.
-

Two names, my friend: Sid. Luckman.

That would explain why it tastes so terrible.
Guinness is wonderful. As long as it’s not too hot outside.

Irish car bombs. Kick ass. Suck in that, bitches.

The Sandlot is a terrible movie. Every fucking time I hear someone say “You’re killing me smalls!” I want to kill another human being.
Fuck that stupid god damn piece of shit.
Completely agree

Gross.

Right, should go in the Beatles thread.
-
The Sandlot is just nostalgic for any baseball fan of a certain age. Space Jam is similar. Both really bad movies that hit some nostalgic soft spot at a certain time.
I love them both, but neither are good.
-
I watched Field of Dreams for the 2nd time ever last night. Not perfect, but tugs at the heart strings.
-
No spicy Afghanistan takes?
-
Should've got all our friends and allies out before pulling the plug.
-
I just got a nastygram email from my ride share service about not wearing a mask even though we confirmed it was ok if we didn’t wear masks before we even got in the car.
Didn’t realize Champaign had gone back to masking yet amazingly every downtown eatery had an hour long wait on a Monday night. Last night in Springfield I didn’t really see any masks that I can remember. Interesting how these things differ from town to town.
Upon checking into my room I just noticed a little cluster of pubes on the floor of my bathroom. Right before I posted this I pulled a lengthy hair off the bottom side of one of the pillows.
All the normally decent hotels I’ve stayed at the last month have been disgusting because they can’t find help. Same problem at restaurants. Waited 45 mins yesterday for our food at a busy well known restaurant because they only had 1/3 kitchen staff.
-
How do you go on? Emotionally, I mean.
-
No spicy Afghanistan takes?
Also, if we didn't spend the last 20 years sequestering surveillance devices, rechargeable drones, explosives and other remote launch weaponry; why the fuck not?
-
No spicy Afghanistan takes?
No one's going to take us seriously as a hateable global empire until we show an utter lack of regard for civilian life and drop another big boy.

Little Big League is that movie for me. That and the Major League movies and Mr. Baseball were being released at that time so if you were above a certain age, there was no reason to mess with the Sandlot.
-

Yeah Major League is a classic
(not exactly a spicy, controversial take, sorry)

Believe it or not I watched LBL not that long ago - that one's actually solid.
It ends when the main player guy almost takes Randy Johnson yard but Griffey robs him. Great stuff.
I think you're older than me though. I was a child when Sandlot came out, and was the target audience.

Uh, spoiler alert??

Little Big League was pretty good, other than Timothy Busfield not really believable as a pro baseball player.

Would charging Americans $2K for a flight out on a plane fueled with jet fuel bought from the Taliban be spicy ?

Hey dipshit, what happened on January 6?

Truth bombs for you snowflakes.
“The booster is supposed to alleviate this, but how many boosters? One every six months? Every three months? Weekly?
Which variant will it prevent—the Delta, the Lambda, the Delphic Oracle ?
No matter. According to three extraordinary—and brave under the circumstances—doctor/ scientists whose briefing for some members of the Tennessee legislature I attended via Zoom Wednesday morning, the Pfizer booster, at least, does not even work for the Delta variant.
Reason: The Pfizer booster is just more of the exact same vaccine that people took in the first place and was never designed for Delta, which did not exist at the time.
But… but…but…what if one is invented for Delta? Well, the gentlemen said, it would be pointless. The Delta variant itself will be gone in roughly a month and a half, moving on to the next one, Lambda and so forth, as viral variants almost always do.
So what to do if we abjure the essentially useless vaccine? (They cited Israel, where nearly everyone is vaccinated, and the country is in the midst of a renewed epidemic.)
Make sure to take plenty of vitamin D and C and zinc daily. Have either hydroxychloroquine (Trump was right about this one, the vaccines not so much) or ivermectin on hand and a doctor who can instruct you on the protocols, maybe get you a monoclonal infusion or some Regeneron if you should contract COVID-19.
Time is the most important thing to beat the disease. If you have symptoms, get tested immediately and, if positive, begin treatment as soon as possible. If you react quickly, you will almost always be okay and avoid the much talked-about “long-haul COVID.”
As for masks, they pointed to Japan where 98 percent of the population wears them and the pandemic is as widespread as anywhere else. (Don’t tell that to esteemed Nobelist in medicine NY Mayor—for now— Bill de Blasio.
And who were these doctor/scientists whose advice runs counter to the CDC, Anthony Fauci, and our president?
Kooky conspiracy theorists and professional naysayers?
One was Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the core technology behind mRNA vaccines. (How could he know anything?) A fascinating talk on his discovery by Dr. Malone reveals how, and how long ago, it happened.
The other was Dr. Ryan Cole, a dermapathologist from Boise who advocates for an individual’s right to decide what he/she puts in their body, just like we did in the sixties (“Our body, our selves.”)
The third was Dr. Peter McCollough, one of the most renowned cardiologists and epidemiologists in the world at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and called, with Dr. Cole, one of the Paul Reveres of our time.
You can listen to his testimony before the Texas Committee on Health and Human Services. It told me more about COVID and its treatment than I have ever learned from Dr. Fauci or from anyone else for that matter.
Not surprisingly, all three of these gentlemen are under constant attack by the traditional (read: governmental) medical establishment. McCollough is even being sued by Baylor, his alma mater, in an attack on scientific free speech by the university reminiscent of Galileo and the medieval church.
The doctor had an interesting answer about how his colleagues reacted to his apostasy, even though it was governed by patient research and the data.
He said he saw fear in their eyes, fear that he might be right.
This reaction tracks with what I, and I would imagine many others, have experienced over the last few years in their relations—work, friends and family—in any number of areas of social and professional life.
There’s good reason Tucker Carlson says at the end of his nightly show he is the enemy of “conformity and groupthink.”
We all should be.
Stay healthy.“

Well, that would mean active combat would be possible.

Saw some article out there where there are a bunch of scientists saying the booster is unnecessary unless you are immunocompromised or have HIV etc as people who are vaxxed are not currently experiencing severe symptoms if there are breakthrough infections. Go Google the link yourselves, Big10Men.
-
Eh, fuck it. Here it is....

-
people who are vaxxed are not currently experiencing severe symptoms if there are breakthrough infections.
Most of them aren't. The ones who died of COVID were unavailable for comment.
My sister the pulmonologist said (a month ago) that 50 fully vaxxed people in Britain had coughed their last. Eric Topol shared a graph last week that showed a 562-to-13 ratio of unvaxxed to vaxxed in San Diego hospitals A lot of people thought that was great news and called the pandemic over.
That's THIRTEEN FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL. In one goddamn city
I know quite a few people who've had breakthrough infections & felt like shit for a few days. One still can't smell anything.
The reason some scientists are fighting a third jab is not that a third jab won't help. It's because they want jabs to go to the unjabbed first. Like, in other countries.

Viagra helps CIA win friends in Afghanistan
While the CIA has a long history of buying information with cash, the Taliban insurgency has prompted the use of novel incentives and creative bargaining — including Viagra — to gain support.
