OT: Off-Topic, again.

unrelated as usual. I decided to come back to this hell hole website, and glad I did. LFG

I always loved him on Weekend Update and his monologue when he hosted SNL the year after being fired is hilarious.

They talked about his firing on the radio. Don Ohlmeyer wanted him gone because he kept making jokes about O J Simpson, who was a friend of his. (So did Jay Leno, but I guess he was too big to fire.)

Flashback: Norm Macdonald Roasts O.J. Simpson After 'Not Guilty' Verdict

Don Ohlmeyer - Wikipedia

Don Ohlmeyer was a terrible person even before he was standing up for a murderer. I read that he paid for the jurors party after the acquittal in the murder trial. You can chose your friends...

Norm didn't really care about getting fired. That might have been the best revenge!

Always liked him. I may have been the only one who liked his KFC commercials. RIP

There comes a time in life when you are moving and downsizing that you realize it is time to throw away those team calendars dating back to 2004, as well as that wheelbarrow full of programs. She Who Must Be Obeyed strongly encourages it.

We all know what happens if you don’t take the encouraged advice.
See: Nazi dude who looks into the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I also liked them.

I liked the Extra Crispy KFC commercials with George Hamilton. Those were hilarious IMHO!

Anyone live in Gallatin? If so, best place to catch a game?

I feel like hopping over to Buffalo Wild Wings in Hendersonville would be a good bet since the team hosts viewing parties there from time to time, there's one in Gallatin too I think that has hosted in the past but not as often. Either way I'm sure one of them would be showing the games or would turn them on if you asked.



Alternatively, the "Preds Approved" bars in the area are...

Homepage - Gallatin
Hendersonville | Hours + Location | Sam's Sports Grill | Tennessee & Alabama - Hendersonville
https://www.jonathansgrille.com/ - Hendersonville
Half Batch Brewing - Hendersonville

I don’t know what the gameday vibe is like there but Swaney Swifts which is one of the Preds approved bars makes some damn good burgers.

I've never been here to watch a game but if I lived in Gallatin I would probably give Prince Street Pizza at least one shot. Only issue I can think of is 9pm close during the week but might be ok for a Sat game.

Okay, so we're having rain. (Yes, again)

And apparently it is bad and can cause flooding. I get that. Danger Will Robinson. But if you respond to the text message telling you about it and confirm both at the link AND on the text message do they REALLY need to call, too? And leave a voice message that begins with "Press 1 to confirm receipt" (no actual information) and then when you do that it asks the same thing over and over til you hang up?

The initial notification doesn't annoy me, but the redundancy does.

All that said, hope everyone is okay.

You could try Double Dogs.

I don't know how it will be for a game, but they have tons of tvs.

Maybe time to update the header? 33 has been gone a while.

Met the manager of the restaurant in a class recently. Great guy who has a true passion for the business and desire to serve.

They probably will when they have game footage from this year. I've noticed that they don't really update everything, even game ops, til the season starts. Til then they're in training camp mode, it's not "official". Me, too. That is why I don't wear my jersey til it's the first regular game.

I'd assume that there's a way to say "you only need to contact me via X method" - they've got a similar system up here and I just had to tell them "just text me, that's it". My father was not so wise at first and so was getting texted AND called in this fashion until I finally got him to change those settings.

I'll check settings-- seems logical.
I actually have "emergency notifications" turned off in my messages app but I still get them for weather. I haven't gotten Amber Alerts at 3 in the morning recently so maybe that's what that means. Couldn't find a place to shut things off for emergency alerts in the phone portion at all. I'll keep looking. Sometimes I find things "Oh, that's where that is" Samsung phones are just weird about stuff like that. Definitely considering a change to iPhone next go round.

Being I live in Shelbyville I was pretty happy to get those messages because the local news has a tendency not to really give a crap until it's too late unless you live right around Nashville directly.

We got lucky they were able to close the Normandy release as soon as they did and avoided needing to raise the flood gates and cutting the south end of town off.

The problem was not the message, it was that they didn't believe me when I said I indicated that I had heard the message multiple times and that the phone message was broken.

No one does that with us, we just get an emergency message.

Headhunters are calling ME for jobs.

"I am on disability."

Headhunter: "We can make it work!"

Were we that maxed out on labor production or did the virus kill 10% of Americans?

Depends on where you are in the country. Tennessee was having labor issues before the pandemic and you just had the big announcement of Ford in west Tennessee and Smith and Wesson in Maryville still to come.

I know my local gas station has gone from offering $11/hr to start to $13.50 and still need people.

If you can't find a job it's either because you aren't willing to work or are unwilling to move.

NY's min wage is $13.25 and McDonnalds here is offering $15

My comcast guide says Preds hockey, I'm getting Bally Southwest and a tennis match.

Never-mind, they just switched to the game. A few seasons ago it was a week or so into the season before they got the feed right in my area.
