OT: The Arizona Coyotes Lounge XVIII - The "Dude! Where's my ark" edition

[MIGs Dog]

I'm usually late to the party discovering new bands, but lately, a few acts out of Australia have caught my attention. Mixed Up Everything has some awesome covers on YouTube, and is just getting started releasing original music. While not an Australian band, The Distillers has the best Australian lead singer since Bon Scott. Most recently I happened upon Amyl and the Sniffers. What is a Sniffer? My American vocabulary is at a loss. Decidedly punk, but this guitar solo has metal written all over it.

(Hint: it isn't the media...its people who use words like..oh, I dunno.."plandemic")

Yup, using the word "plandemic" created this mess? I don't think so. It's people like you that believe all what is said.

Amyl nitrite -> poppers, recreational drug used by inhaling the fumes or sniffing...

That explains it...I avoid recreational drugs.

Heh. *sigh* you do you, JaQey. Go Yotes.

My favorite modern band from Australia. Unfortunately they broke up not too long ago. Sounds like the Buzzcocks with a 60's soul singer fronting them.


Then there is the whole New Zealand scene from the 80's on the Flying Nun record label. The Clean being the most prolific.

^and therein lies the problem...the more people can't (or won't) discern between reliable sources and the unreliable, and adopt a totally cynical "trust no-one" mentality, eventually will by definition find themselves........

....uninformed.

Yup. Follow the money and that’s all you need to know.

So...... this was a bit of a surprise going to the Republic website just now:

The Arizona Republic

Essentially putting the arena at Priest/202 on the south side of the lake. Hm.

I can't access the article. Does it say to expect a decision in 2 weeks?

Heh, yeah.

Says they've been talking to Tempe for 2 years. Idea is sort of described as East Westgate (arena! shopping! dining! entertainment!), but currently houses the city's public works and compost yard, so there's some environmental cleanup work...but then article throws a little cold water (not goldwater, cold water) in the form of "far from a done deal, may not be appealing to residents in the area, taxpayer funded sports arenas, bla bla bla"...

But this was new to me; I'd never heard any rumors about that particular spot

Got a job in the Publix deli a couple weeks ago. Apparently some people struggle to make subs. What the hell? It’s just a sandwich.

As long as they don't throw them back at you, you're good.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Oh, you're not throwing a Publix sandwich. You'd throw your car keys before a Publix deli sandwich.


Okay, that's a bit much.

Someone today got a sub and asked for “extra everything” on it. I ended up wrapping it in several wrappers and then a bunch of plastic wrap since there was no way it would fit in a paper sub bag. That would be a hefty sub to throw at someone.

I'm not that pumped to watch most Olympic events, but the surfing competition could be intense.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Phoenix native and Deer Valley HS grad is racing in his first Tour de France.

Great race by McNulty in the Olympic road race. Just missed out on a medal.

Started a trial of Apple TV. What should we watch?

Ted Lasso
The Morning Show
Greyhound (not great IMO, but worth the time)

Ted Lasso was surprisingly outstanding

When will the HF powers-that-be reshuffle the forums to the upcoming season division format? NHL.com already has us under the Central.

Asking dumb questions from afar again, but I can't hold myself. How is it for you now, has the world normalized again? Is that dumb pandemic over for you? It's basically over here in Norway, except people are still asked to used masks, it's still some restrictions on bars and so on as with less opening time, but basically not emergency anymore. Mask use is going down a little. Still less people on the subway than you should expect, even for the summer. Biggest issues is it's such an issue if you go abroad, as there are long queues when you return, with testing and so on based on what color the country you come from had, and how vaccinated you are, messy and complicated. All kind of colors apparently. Long queues, tedious. So less travelling.

Some places in the States are mandating masks again, and the protocols in schools are up to local jurisdiction so you'll probably see a wide variety of measures in place or none at all. The biggest impact on my life is that masks are still required for air travel, but the order is set to expire in September. I'm hoping it's not renewed. but based on recent trends I could see it being extended.

This is one of the best cyclists in the world. She thinks she just won gold....nope, it's silver. A silver medal is still cool, but I wouldn't want to be the one to tell her.

Wow... even without radio, you have good old-fashioned seconding, with people holding up signs. That group of riders she was in must each and every one have really bad coaches.

I'm wondering how many in the peloton didn't know? Explains why there wasn't much effort to chase down the leader.
