I don't see the point. It's not raining, and they seem like nice young men.[/QUOTE]

It's easy to look like nice young men--note the neat haircuts, clean polo shirts, no obviousl tattoos.

FEDS!!! Run away.
The Whitmer trials in MI failed so far.
There’s enough crazy Nazis in the USA. We don’t need to foment them. One or two agents that can report back is fine. But leading the pack should be verboten

I remember reading about an office where something like 12 out 15 employees went in together and won. After they won, they had a vote on whether or not they should include the few employees that didn’t participate. They voted them down. I can’t imagine the pain of watching Janice from accounting travel the world while I still have to work my 40 hours.

100%!!! The ROI is well worth it for that alone. I spend less on that than another random streaming service and I get far more entertainment from all our banter in there. Perhaps it's akin to what I've heard about fantasy football groups. It's more about the fun group text threads than actually "winning."

That would be BRUTAL!!! The winning employees made the right call, though. I would've voted them out too. You can't opt out then expect to take part in the spoils, much as it would super suck.

If they won enough they probably wouldn't have had to pay any attention to them anymore since they would have all quit.

The Ramones and the Beatles are not Classic Rock.

If the Beatles aren't classic rock, then what are they?

I’m amused that I’m not alone.

Can't speak to the Ramones (ducks), but the Beatles? Edgy Pop.

I was on a flight today and it was one of those regional jets that you have to take a bus from the gate to the plane. So they make everyone go through the normal boarding process: kids, first class, medallion, plebes, etc, in order just for all of us to be on the same bus standing wherever we can fit to ride to the plane.

I agree they aren't in the "Classic Rock" genre, even though they're both classic and rock.

I feel like the elements of the genre are "played stadiums (or sound like they did), not poppy, anthemic song composition, and surviving the test of time". And I'm going to say that the timeline is post 1970 to early 90s.

IMO, Springsteen from Born to Run to Born in the USA, The Who from Who's Next to Who Are You, 70s Stones, Queen (but not all of their catalog), Aerosmith, Kiss, (some) Boston, Journey, Foreigner, Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Def Leppard...

The one thing I love about classic rock is I get older and they stay the same age. Nirvana is the new Zep.

Totally. Foo Fighters too.

That makes me feel old, but so does my upper back.

Classic Rock is what they play at ski resorts on the weekends.
And the Beatles were a pretty good rock and roll cover band in their day--ie they got started ripping off black artists.

Girl pulls into the trailhead next to me to park and drives straight into the metal pipe fence at the end of the spot. CRUNCH! Gets out, looks at it, shrugs. Doesn't even back up.

I'm (obv) the Toyota pickup, and was already parked there. Tesla drives up, hits my bumper, calls it good, walks away.

You could have taken home the Tesla, assuming your hitch is buried in the front of it.
