OPEN THREAD: JUSTIFIED

Img_0172_tiny by Spencer Hall on

Welcome back, Boyd. We all know how you feel.

Tumblr_lxxtm2pguw1qbft36_medium

One of the few upsides of the offseason is the return of EDSBS Lifestyle Aspirational Node Justified , a slow-burning slice of Kentucky coal-country awesome-porn working in so many of the things this community holds dear.

  • Bourbon
  • Tiny, fierce men with mysterious backgrounds (Boyd, Saban)
  • Guns
  • More guns
  • Snipers
  • Attractive, sometimes violent women
  • Crotchety, all-wise old dudes (Art, Schnelly)
  • Male eye-candy to sell the ladies on an otherwise all-dudes show centered on two guys who are kind of violently gay for each other.
  • Appalachia
  • Corruption
  • That dude from Herman's Head
  • Organized crime.
  • Grim fate
  • OWNAGE
  • Grim wisecracking
  • Tasers applied to the balls
  • Good writing
  • 'Shine

With that, consider this one of the few shows on television that deserves its own open thread for the evening (10:00 p.m. Eastern, FX) . People will talk about the show, so those of you who yell "SPOILER" are going to just tell the world how hard you failed reading comprehension, because SPOILERS BE HEREIN. Feel free to argue all you like about #TeamAva and #TeamWinona, because we'll be over here getting into perfectly happy platonic marriage with Tim, the awesome sniper who does nothing but drink quietly, hint at a gory family and war history, and probably is a long-suffering Kentucky football fan. (We guess this because he really seems to enjoy killing people, and Wildcat football will do that to a man.)

Enjoy yourselves, and as always, comment responsibly.

PS. It's also the offseason, and there ain't shit else to do.

Boyd at the Whole Foods wearing a baby...

There have been few things as scary in my life as turning down an aisle at the WeHo Whole Foods and nearly running into Boyd Crowder with a baby strapped to his chest. Could have been hiding a shotgun in there.

His wife seemed lovely though.

Further evidence that Gregg Easterbrook is worse at expressing thoughts and ideas through the written word than anyone else in history has been at anything:
“Justified” has won praise for cinematography, acting and gritty realism. The cinematography and acting are good; the show is ridiculously unrealistic. In both season finales so far, Olyphant’s character deliberately walks into a trap set by lots of heavily armed criminals. Yet he doesn’t call for backup or even tell the Marshals Service where he is going. Not only is the character both times saved by an implausible deus ex machine, any marshal who repeatedly injected himself into deadly situations without following procedures would lose his job.
“Realism” further went haywire in the second season finale of “Justified,” when Olyphant became the latest in the long line of action heroes to be shot yet suffer no harm. He’s shot in the side at close range by a goon using an assault rifle. He does not go into shock. His bleeding instantly stops without pressure being applied to the wound. Olyphant walks around seemingly fine, and spends the next several scenes bantering. Shot at close range and doesn’t need an ambulance, he must be a real man!

Jersey Mike's for chain places is mid-high tier.

Not quite Jimmy John’s, but better than Subway, Blimpie, Quizno’s, and Firehouse (in that order).

Best delis I’ve been to are in Hoboken, NJ and Uniondale, NY respectively.

I don't consider JJ or Jersey Mike's or any of that ilk a "Deli"

They’re fast food sandwiches, and sometimes you want something warm or with a little heat, and Jimmy John’s doesn’t do either of those well. Their bread is the only thing putting them above Subway, in my opinion- and it’s not THAT great

Any other place that's chain level for this type stuff relies on loads and loads of salt and/or mayo-based sauces for hot sandwiches.

And no, they aren’t real delis per se, but we’re talking about deli-esque fast food chains. I’m not buying the whole no hot sandwiches makes JJs inferior thing.

Vanilla and chocolate are really about all you need for the base.

Places like Coldstone though have the flavors premade.

This place didn’t. I.E. if you wanted mint chocolate chip would mix in mint and chocolate pieces, you could choose where to start, and they’d mix everything in. It was nice cause you could ask them to go heavy on whichever add-in you wanted and light on something you didn’t really like (say, walnuts in Rocky Road).

If the cakes and pies were absolute turds, then they'd be equals.

If I want a cold sandwich, I’m going to Publix- it doesn’t take any longer, they’ve always been equidistant to the closest Jimmy John’s, and the quality is at least an order of magnitude greater. If I want a hot sandwich, and I want it reasonably quickly, JJ’s is disqualified, and Jersey Mike’s is the best of the fast food sandwich chains

Bread is usually a weak point

My complaint with Jersey Mike’s is that they are silly enough to display the crappy meat going into the sandwiches. At least with Subway, etc. it’s pre-sliced, and the “lunch meat” look is diminished (side note: Russian Subway meats are barely fit for dog food).

You don't need to bother.

There is no comparison whatsoever between Wegman’s and any Publix in which I have ever set foot, and anyone who claims there is ain’t nothin’ but a damned blind SEC homer.

In fact, every Publix I have ever been in has been more along the lines of “maybe a small step up from Harris-Teeter”. Wegman’s and HEB Central Market are so far and away the winners in the supermarket amusement park category it’s not even funny.

I don't know. I have never set foot in WF.

But it’s not remotely a hippie granola place. It’s a full-blown supermarket.

With, in Virginia at least, a damned cheese shop. And a wine section as big as the soft drink section at Wal*Mart. And a beer section the size of a small liquor store. And a chocolaterie.

The seafood section is as big as the entire meat department at my local dump.

I'll have to concur with Nick here, but perhaps for different reasons.

A grocer is a guy you go see about getting groceries.

A grocery store is a place you go to buy them yourself.

This is an awesome show. But how many more seasons can it go? I mean, I bought the addition of the Bennets into the Harlan County rogues gallery. But we’re two seasons in. This season can be about the Raylan v. Boyd showdown. But if they start introducing other career criminals in the Harlan County area without some seriously good backstory, I’mma be pissed.

They're introducing too bad guys this year

Neil McDonough as a gangster from Detroit trying to muscle into Harlan and Mykelti Williams as a backwoods strongman trying to keep the law out of his town.

That’s right, the gangster from the Detroit is a white guy and the backwoods, anti-government dude from Kentucky is black.

Yep. Also remember that you'll be graded on a normal curve, so if you get a merit scholarship with a GPA requirement, it can be a lot more difficult to keep than it seems at first.

Even with the scholarship to a private school I had my first year (lost it, even though I have above a B average), I would have saved a ton of money by staying in-state.

Congrats, though. Hope it works out for you.

I remember when I read "The Cuckoo's Egg"

and Stoll described his doctorate’s exam as a series of “Why?” questions that got harder and harder:

I remember it vividly. Across a table, five profs. I’m frightened, trying to look casual as sweat drips down my face. But I’m keeping afloat; I’ve managed to babble superficially, giving the illusion that I know something. Just a few more questions, I think, and they’ll set me free. Then the examiner over at the end of the table—the guy with the twisted little smile—starts sharpening his pencil with a penknife.

“I’ve got just one question, Cliff,” he says, carving his way through the Eberhard-Faber. “Why is the sky blue?”

My mind is absolutely, profoundly blank. I have no idea. I look out the window at the sky with the primitive, uncomprehending wonder of a Neanderthal contemplating fire. I force myself to say something—anything. “Scattered light,” I reply. “Uh, yeah, scattered sunlight.”

“Could you be more specific?”

Well, words came from somewhere, out of some deep instinct of self- preservation. I babbled about the spectrum of sunlight, the upper atmosphere, and how light interacts with molecules of air.

“Could you be more specific?”

I’m describing how air molecules have dipole moments, the wave-particle duality of light, scribbling equations on the blackboard, and . . .

“Could you be more specific?”

An hour later, I’m sweating hard. His simple question—a five-year-old’s question—has drawn together oscillator theory, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, even quantum mechanics. Even in my miserable writhing, I admired the guy.

1850, assuming no weekends but no vacations is just over 7 hours billed per day.

Again, though, those are billed hours, not actual working hours.

Often times, you get non-billable work you have to do, or if a client would think you took too long, your hours billed may be cut by the partners. You can easily work much more than the hours you billed to reach whatever threshold you need.

My roommates were awesome, but only when they were my best friends.

Otherwise, one was a pretty cool guy, one we were just completely different in every way, one started out cool but became weird.

I lived alone for the past year and a half, which didn’t bother me at all. Although, I got to visit my girlfriend every weekend, so I didn’t even care what happened in the middle of the week.

If it's the right situation, living with another person is highly preferable to living alone.

I never had a single in college,

but I was the best man in my roommate for the first three years’s wedding, and I’ll be the godfather to his daughter when she’s born. That worked out fantastically, considering we were assigned as freshmen. The last year was meh for a semester, and shitty for a semester.

After college, I lived with a friend, but we worked way different hours(me 0730-1600, her 1300-2200), and that was great too. Living alone for the last three years has been fantastic for me.

Short of a massive collapse, I can’t see MSU, Indiana, or OSU falling below a 4 or 5 seed, nor Michigan or Illinois having to sweat out Selection Sunday. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Northwestern all have fighting chances, and even Iowa might be capable of making a run (although their horrific non-conference results will probably eliminate them).

Man, that would have been a shitty football conference.

The death penalty was 87-88, this was in 94.

Would have been a pretty good basketball conference, though, on paper. SMU had been strong, Rice was actually decent, TCU was about to get good for awhile. Tulsa was decent. Throw in Memphis, Louisville, and Cincinnati, not doing too bad.

In reality, though, it would have been so crappy at football that the financial resources may have ultimately crippled the basketball programs.

Memphis went into some dark years if I remember.

Worse, they'd have somehow weaseled their way into a BCS AQ from the get-go

If the SWC had stayed around as an AQ, it's interesting to think about how differently things would have turned out.

Does the Big 12 raid the SWC once Nebraska, Colorado, aTm, and Mizzou leave? Does the SWC position itself as the new Big 12?

I don't think it would have an impact on what the Big 12 ended up doing once it decided to stay together.

However, if the SWC had been an AQ, you may well have seen Texas and/or Oklahoma say “fuck it” and leave, knowing that everyone else would have a soft landing in a geographically reasonable AQ conference.

You're correct

I was talking about a world where both the Big 12 (or Big 8 + 4, however you prefer) and the SWC existed.

So you are thinking that (today) the six remaining schools of the Big 12 (assuming OU and Texas left as well) would have combined with the SWC conference?

That means we would have had a SWC with SMU, Rice, TCU, Memphis, Tulsa, Tulane, Louisville, Cincinnati, Louisiana Tech, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Texas Tech.

That is an…interesting conference.

Maybe not TCU.

It’s hard to say what their ultimate path over the last decade would have been in this scenario, though since we’re talking about an SWC with an AQ they probably would have stayed.

Missouri would probably still be in this mess, too; they didn’t “decide” to leave until it was clear Texas was staying.
