Carol Jackson45 said:I’m nowhere to be found on any lists—honestly, nobody ever thinks to include me in anything...

Well, don't you worry—you are always at the very top of my list. 🙂

Sean Lee7 said:Well, am I some kind of hopeless romantic or what? 🙂

Dinner first—the whole deal—and then...

Not quite like you, though. 😁

Dude, you're my hero. 🙂

Now, let us rectify a massive injustice done to every true gourmet out there just a few pages back...

The people who actually understand what "good food" means—you know, the way grandmas in every corner of America define it—rather than those trendy, overly picky nutritionists with their weird little rules...

Without any specific order:

The Lifetime Achievement Award goes to the maestro, Sean Lee7, because the man simply possesses impeccable taste, refined manners, and a thirst that could probably supply a small town in Nebraska... An absolute hedonist who deserves the title of culinary artist before God and the entire American public.

A special honorable mention goes to dmj and Nicole Baker because—even though I don't personally know them—their public contributions clearly show they are true connoisseurs at heart. 🙂

Sean Lee7 said:Man, just get yourself over here already!

😂

I mean—you'll probably end up taking Uncle Jack straight to Customs... or maybe somewhere for Ramadan... 😁

Susan Clark10 said:Seeing Franz Ferdinand was easily one of the top 10 concerts I've ever attended in my life...

Well, they certainly are. 😬--honestly, just incredible...

coastalpanther11 said:The January Uncut is absolutely perfect for those self-proclaimed indie snobs—you know the type... quite a bit of attitude, I suppose. Aside from the main feature on Smith, there’s plenty of goodness inside, including pieces on Wilco, The National, John Waters, and even Lightning Bolt. It really makes for some truly excellent holiday reading!

Christmas is just around the corner... 🙂

coastalpanther11 said:😲

What is actually wrong with you, kid?! :ćuš-ćuš:
A horse, a Harley, or a pickup truck—anything else is just not happening. Sedans are out of the question. You follow me?

Now look here, son... I am certainly not getting behind the wheel of anything that doesn't have at least four wheels—and if old Gram Parsons could get by in a sedan, then there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't... and yes, a Tennessee Stud is indeed a horse. 😵

coastalpanther11 said:"Hey there, Sheriff."

Now, this... this could really take off if things go our way... 😬

Douglas Taylor4 said:..and that fringed jacket from "My Morning Jacket," I already know about that.

Not necessarily... everything you actually need is already tucked away inside the All American Survival pack. Or perhaps a framed photo of Gram Parsons might do the trick. 🙂
As for transportation, it’s either going to be the Tennessee Stud or a '64 Oldsmobile Cutlass. :iain'tdeadyet:

coastalpanther11 said:Talking about Western instruments, I had the most baffling moment today... there was this shop right at the edge of town—the one that displays guitars in the window—and sitting right there was this massive guitar-shaped box with "Fender Banjo Value pack" printed across the front.

Well... if we actually lived in some kind of perfect world, I imagine that kit would come loaded with chewing tobacco, silver spurs, a Stetson, and maybe a gallon of Kentucky moonshine. But since reality is rarely that poetic—all you get is the banjo, an extra set of strings, a little tuner you blow into, and a handful of picks. :howdy:

David Sullivan4 said:What’s the point of winning if you end up covered in blood anyway?

Of course it matters... I mean, just as any decent Viking would want to fall in battle alongside his sword, I simply want to go down with my sense of style intact. 🙂

Sandra Chase16 said:Halijen versus boldscout72
Scene 1. Halijen flips the "metal mode" switch on his PC—suddenly every single hair turns into a steel spike—and he hurls the whole rig right at boldscout72, who desperately hoists a banjo into the air just to shield himself...
Scene 2. A very bloody banjo

Just a quick correction to an inaccurate point here. The May weapon of choice is actually quite stylish! 😬

David Sullivan4 said:Scene number two: an angel is bullying boldscout72—just a regular guy getting picked on by an angel. Anyone up for writing this one?

👋 The Abyss! The Abyss! The Abyss! 👋

Nicholas Perez33 said:uh... I really hope the folks obsessed with photogenic perfection don't come for me, but here is how the new list is shaping up...

I finally understand exactly how Oprah Winfrey felt when they took her signature headband away. 😢

Move it, Gazelles! Miss is looking for those photogenic smiles... 😘

Man, I have to say—I am just such a huge fan of old-school Clint. For me, Honytonk man is practically a religion... an absolute staple. And honestly? Those others you listed aren't half bad either. Except for Million Dollar Baby. That one was just... tedious. 🙂

Robin Williams6 said:Do you ever just feel like curling up under a warm blanket and staying there forever?

I personally find the whole concept of cozying up under a heavy quilt quite delightful... truly wonderful, actually. 😁

Robin Williams6 said:Wait, which one was it again?

Man, you really ought to give the thread a quick read... 😬

Sandra Chase16 said:🙏

But honestly... that soldier guy just has the most incredible dialogue ever written.

Highway: Just so we're clear, I'm mean, I'm nasty, and I am exhausted. I eat concertina wire for breakfast, I piss napalm, and I could put a round through a flea's backside from three hundred yards away. So how about you go bother someone else, you little punk, before I give you a reason to stay down.

😂

hollowangler68 said:Is it Midnight... is it Clint's?

It truly is a masterpiece...
Just like nearly everything else that individual has ever directed...
As for those who don't see things my way—well, they can go jump in a lake... 🙂

Absolutely, especially that massive hit from 1982—fire fox. 😁

michael_jackass said:What kind of Wenders stuff are we even talking about here?

Aha. You've got a point there... I mentioned Million Dollar Baby, but I suppose I was actually thinking of a Million dollar hotel. 😬 Honestly, they both sound equally dull, so I suppose it hardly matters at all...
