Watched the whole thing on Pea****. But I think it's on Paramount+, too.

Anyone ever seen Mr. Mercedes?
I'm on the 3rd episode. It starts off in 2009, these people that were hit hard by the recession were camping out at some civic center looking area for a job fair. This guy wearing a clown mask comes into the parking lot driving a Mercedes and just runs over them, it's a mass murder.
2 years later, one of the detectives (now retired) is getting taunting messages from the guy that did it. The guy that did it works at a computer store, seems to be some kind of technical genius who's pretty ****ed in the head. He also drives an ice cream truck, which makes him creepier.
The detective, first confused about the harassment, is now going on the offensive and trying to figure out who he is.
Really solid show so far, I think I am getting hooked. It's on Pea****.

I would believe this if a credible reporter broke this story. Someone who's an analyst or a beat reporter.
4 washed up 25 year old wannabes on a morning drive show? Fat chance.
C'mon. You guys are smarter than this.

Oh how I miss the low rise jeans of the early 2000s... Ladies wearing these things up to their ribs now just doesn't do it for me.
Maybe with CrossFit and the butt injections they'd be falling out of the low rise? These things I ponder.
They should be coming back around. Fashion trends usually do.

Coed dance team? Ehhhh...
If they had male cheerleaders and REAL cheerleading program like the Ravens have, I'd be all for that. They're actually really fun to watch. But a coed dance team? I'm skeptical.

Meh, handguns are the easiest. Reminded me of learning how to handle BB guns, just loud. Guns are loud, knock your eardrums out.
Dude needs an asswhoopin, but a real security detail works wonders. Pace your property like man out for blood. One gander and the dude, the neighborhood, will take notice. "This man don't play." Revolvers kick ass.
Dude probably does need an asswhoopin. I hear ya on the handguns but I was planning on getting a shotgun for hunting later this year anyway, so I'm gonna roll with that. In addition, I'm going to get one of those bright ass tactical flashlights with the strobe, camp out on the porch and scare the **** out of him sometime soon.

When creepy s*** like this happens to me, I think of two things. #1, father time. Time will pass by and the anxiety goes down. In your situation, I'd be thinking all kinds of crazy s***. "What if guy does some meth and comes back for revenge one day." Awful, very unlikely to happen-though..but it goes in to the second thought.
I immediatly bought pepper spray, have a couple of knives I carry. Shoot that mf if you're in to guns. F that. PROTECT THIS HOUSE.
Yeah, there are guns in the house. Revolvers. I grew up shooting shotguns, bird hunting, skeet shooting, sporting clays...I'm very comfortable with shotguns, handguns are another story. Don't nearly have the experience with them that I probably should. That doesn't mean I can't wave it around and scare the **** out of an intruder or something.

So earlier tonite, I took my puppy out for a walk, around 7:30. I'm home alone for the week, the girlfriend is at a funeral so I'm holding it down here with the puppy and trying to keep the house in one piece.
Anyway, our backyard backs up to an empty lot that's partially wooded. It's an average neighborhood, quarter acre lots, some older homes mixed in with some newer ones. Past the wooded lot is a cul-de-sac. If there was a house built on this empty lot, the house would face the cul-de-sac.
It's dark out, I flipped on the porch light but that doesn't provide any great light past 10 feet off the porch. The puppy pulls me out the door, off the porch and into our yard. At the back of our yard, adjacent to the empty lot is a thigh-high rinky-dink fence that doesn't do anything more than delineate the property line. So the puppy is a couple feet away from the fence pulling on the leash and is all worked up. And all of a sudden I hear a voice.
"Hi."
I couldn't tell where it was coming from and I looked over my shoulder to my left. There's a guy that lives on the adjacent street off the cul-de-sac who's disabled and has a dog that he walks around the neighborhood and he usually cuts through our driveway and yard to get home. It's not ideal but he picks up after his dog and also does really nice stuff like haul our recycle bins from the street. I'm looking for him but I don't see him.
"Over here." I look in front of me, about 25 feet past the fence, standing on the edge of the woods on the empty lot is a man, but not the man that walks his dog through our yard. And it's dark out, but the cul-de-sac has a streetlight that partially lights this guy. I can see enough to tell that he's a white guy, about 6 feet tall, slim build, glasses, grayish hair and he had on a blue or purple pullover fleece/sweatshirt.
"Didn't mean to scare you," he said.
"Ah, well...you sure did a good job of it." Now, my girlfriend and her mother (who owns the house we live in and rents it out to us) know the guy who owns this lot. Apparently he's been talking about building on it for years and I'd seen him out there this past summer. I figured it could be him and he was going to introduce himself. From where he's standing, he could have directly seen into our kitchen and two bedrooms had the lights been on and the blinds up. And he could have probably seen into our neighbors house directly to our left.
"It's a nice night out," he said.
"Yup, sure is," I replied. "Nicer than it was earlier."
And after a pause he just said "Well, have a good evening," and he turned around and started walking into the cul-de-sac, kind of towards the house on the other side, for a minute I thought he might be the guy that lives in that house. But then he turns left and starts running down the street which is a giant hill. And I'm like, what the **** is going on, who is this guy? And where's he going?
My puppy is doing her business but after she finishes up I run with her over to the cul-de-sac and stand at the top of the hill and by this point he's three quarters of the way down, still running. By this point I'm assuming he's not going into any of the houses. Sure enough, he passes under a streetlight at the bottom of the hill and into a shadow, I couldn't see if he turned right or left.
Ran back into the house and thought about calling the cops. Instead, called the girlfriend and she said the owner of that lot always drives up to it, parks his car into the cul-de-sac and also doesn't live anywhere else in the neighborhood so it definitely wasn't him. She told me to go to the neighbors house who are adjacent to the left of the empty lot and tell them what I saw and see if they've seen anything. I've said hi to these neighbors a few times before but certainly don't know them. They seem nice and are probably in their late 50s to early 60s.
I walk over there, ring the doorbell, the wife answers and I tell her what I saw. And then the husband comes to the door and I explained it to him, too. These neighbors have deer cameras, one on a fence that's by their garage and another one on a tree in that wooded lot, I guess this is something you do when you're retired and bored. He explained to me that he saw a giant buck there and wanted to keep track of the deer family that lives in the woods on that empty lot. Then he proceeded to explain to me that he's seen this person in that lot a few times this winter on his deer cameras.
Now...these people are being as friendly as can be so I didn't want to upset them by getting angry but the first thing that came to my mind (as I'm sure it's come to yours) is "You've seen this ****ing guy standing in that lot that's right next to your house and can easily see into our house and you DIDN'T ****ING THINK TO SAY ANYTHING TO US?" I asked him if he'd been able to make anything out from the deer camera, but it's infrared, so it's more just of a shape. We speculate on who it could be (random peeping Tom, homeless guy, ax murderer, rapist, whatever) and then I told them to let me know when he shows up on their deer camera again.
Went back inside, definitely called the cops. They came out a few minutes later, I walked them through what I saw. They said they'd circled the neighborhood but hadn't seen anyone.
Needless to say, I'm not getting a lot of sleep tonight. Seriously, what the ****ing ****? How many times have my girlfriend or I walked the puppy at night, only to have some weirdo standing in the shadows not too far away? Has he been trying to look in our house? And why the hell would our neighbors not say anything? Super uneasy all the way around.

This is just textbook conservative opinion. Takes years of GOP and right wing media identifying someone, then targeting them over the year, to ingrain this mentality with their followers. But the payoff is once they get their followers there, there’s no amount of debating or evidence providing that can change it.

Maybe he was referring to his wife?
Well it was parked off the street, not in the driveway so maybe it was a Qnutter visiting.
Or silently murdering the entire family.

Post Malone music ain’t even bad. Y’all judging a book by it’s a cover. Should be ashamed of yourself.
Judging a book by it's cover? I listen to some great music by some ugly mother****ers. I don't care what anyone looks like as long as their music is good.

Thanks, I appreciate it. That's more than I pay now, but to be able to stream games without having the hassle of using a VPN to get around the blackout on MLB.TV is probably worth it. Then I can just downgrade my subscription after the season is over.
I will be mailing boxes of my dogs poop if you only get ONE MASN channel in this package. Like if the Nats and Orioles are playing at the same time and you only get one MASN channel instead of both...boxes of dog poop to the MASN office. Every. Day.

Your daily MASN blows a billion goats reminder. They are broadcasting 0.0 games this spring. All available games are streamed on Nationals.com or on the radio. I blame @Spaceman Spiff.
MASN does blow goats. Oh well.
7 minutes ago, bearrock said:Well, a little positive news on the MASN front.
Apparently the app will launch by opening day (not sure if in home only). Way overdue, but still nice to see some progress.
It ****ing sucks. You have to have a cable package to get access to the app...so if you stream TV some other way like I do (Youtube TV), you still don't get access to it.
MASN and I think Oakland are the only two regional sports networks that don't stream on other platforms. It's ridiculous.
Someone did tell me that they do stream on AT&T tv's month to month television package, I'll be checking that out to see if it's true.

I don't think anyone specifically complained. Mods didn't like us using this thread as a "clubhouse". Basically the idea was post less here and post more in the appropriate threads.
Such as vids going in the Friday night music thread. N memes going in the miscellaneous humor thread. Much like the no football talk request in the old rtt long ago.
This whole place is kinda like a clubhouse though.

This **** is bananas! Yo @Kosher Ham, are you gambling with numbers this big when you're rolling around Charlotte with MJ?
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/antoine-walker-shares-wild-michael-jordan-gambling-story-about-a-36-hour-game-of-spades/
So, how did that spades game end?
When Jordan needed the extra $500,000, he actually sent his nephew to retrieve the money out of his golf bag and bring it to him. Walker said that Jordan instructed his nephew not to let Jordan's wife see him getting the cash.
