Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Starting on May 1 back in 1982, the “world came to Knoxville.”

From May until October that year, more than 11 million people from across the globe embraced the cultures of 22 countries in Knoxville for the World’s Fair.

Steelers vs Patriots preseason game…..
Vols defeated Bama ……

What great memories…….

6th grade class went and they let us loose. Spent a fortune in the arcade playing Ms. Pac-Man. 🥴
 
Something I bought to give as a birthday present never arrived. After the birthday they told me it was lost and I could have them replace it or get a refund. I just took the refund and moved on.
Worked at a high-end hot rod that not only built cars/trucks but sold parts. I did all the picking(of parts) and shipping. We had a guy from San Francisco order a ‘36 Ford grille and some other stuff bill was over $3,000. UPS picked up the order(insured of course) and………… 9-10 days later customer calls “where’s my order” I got on the phone with UPS tracking and it showed delivered @SF location 3 days prior 🤔
I called UPS San Francisco and they said it’s lost and we will pay claim😡
How can it be delivered, recorded that it was delivered and then unloaded but LOST??
We reshipped order but I’ve always remembered how cavalier they were about losing a shipment.

I hate ordering stuff from amazon. Ordered a car part with overnight delivery. It never shipped. Customer service said it's "stuck in shipping". Told me to cancel and re-order and they'd give me a $5 coupon, so I did.

I went to re-order and they say my account is suspended due to unusual activity. . . they want me to verify my ID with pics of my license to unlock my account. . .

I just said forget it and ordered it from ebay. . . turned out to be $50 total instead of $70 anyway. . .

Anyone else ever have trouble with Amazon?
Reading this as my wife just received a package from Amazon.
 
Ill definitely check out The One I Love. See that Mark Duplass is in it...anything that dude does is usually very good, and very strange. Love it.

Mindhunter...one of the best shows of the last decade or so. Fincher said Netflix didn't think it was worth it's budget. He said he hates that it was canceled. Netflix doesn't want to fund shows like Mindhunter, but they'll throw everything into Shonda Rhimes' garbage.

Couldn't agree more.

Mindhunter...what a damn shame it doesn't have a blank check 🤦‍♂️


And Duplass is gold. But what really shocked me is the director...good god talk about being born into a badass family...Malcolm...Mary...Ted...and then on top of that he's married to Lily Collins...the daughter of Phil...man just woke up born into a lifelong wet dream 😅
