John Wayne played so many characters named "John" or "Duke." So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles where his character had at least one of those 2 names.

EDIT: Final tally:

36 - "John" or "Johnny"

3 - "J" first initial, no full name given

5 - "Duke"

Bruce Almighty? His most memorable role.

The lights are fun when you're drunk.

Refusing to peacefully transfer power would be the end of democracy.

Yes, like a mail in vote that arrived on election day. It wouldn't be included in today's "early voting" numbers, but it would have been included in the total number of mail in votes in 2020 that I'm comparing it too. But don't expect a big change.

The 2020 numbers might be deceiving and impossible to compare to. Mail in voting was heavily expanded, which skewed Democrat, so early voting results in 2020 skewed Democrat. Then election day skewed more Republican than normal too. It's not going to follow that exact pattern again.

Looks like the 2020 ticks are including mail in voting in 2020, which was heavily expanded during the pandemic. Places like North Carolina and Texas have immediately gone back to restricting absentee ballots. So yes there are less early votes, because they've gone back to restricting mail ballots.

Here I see there were just over 1 million votes by mail in North Carolina in 2020. Here I see that there were about 240,000 votes by mail in North Carolina through the 2nd. You could probably find a more up to date number, but you get the idea.

"Your honor I knew he had a nut allergy not a legume allergy." I'd love to see someone try that in court.

So if I see one parked, I'm hearing I should go hop up and down on the hitch and then run away.

It's more projection. Trump needs to win so he can stay out of jail. Probably the only reason he's running at all.

[–] RoidingOldMan 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm almost certainly going to win. 144.5 vs. 86.6 (115.8 projected total). He would need Cade Otten and Kareem Hunt to combine for 60.

They might be waiting for an official team statement or something. We'll likely know more tomorrow.

Hanging chads were a tiny blip on the radar in the general story of the 2000 election. Trump's had 100 scandals more noteworthy than hanging chads.

 

Rocky? Rocky 2-4? Slap Shot (1977) is fantastic.

For basketball I'd say Hoosiers (1986) is good. For American Football? Jerry Maguire (1996).

What are the best soccer, cricket, or racing movies?

Solid looking card from Venezuela. Headlined by Albert Ramirez (18-0) vs. Adam Deines (23-2-1) for the WBA International Light Heavyweight Title.

 

Americantall.com is where I've been buying from recently. Do you have another option? ' I'm 6'4" and 200 pounds. A typical large is too short. XL and XXL is wider and not longer. I need a place to order a Large X-Long.
