Until @zikzak comes to scold us I’m going to assume it all evens out in the end but I’m still salty about that $50.
I’m heading to Phoenix tomorrow for a yearly mancation (year 13!). There will be a lot of cigars, pan, golf, and hopefully food. I think there’s 13 of us attending this year.
Is there any interest in a TR?

Sure, what is pan?
Just the greatest gambling game ever
The blurb about 15 card pan, or pip, was added by my group. I don’t think anybody else plays it like that. Think we may have invented it.
This is so weird. Somehow two healthy adults, a baby, and a dog all supposedly died of heat stroke. Well the dog’s cause of death wasn’t stated.

WTF

Actor and producer Alec Baldwin shot two people on a film set in New Mexico on Thursday. One person died and another is undergoing treatment for his injuries, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.
I remember when I was in college, Brandon Lee died during the filming of The Crow, in a similar “fake gun” situation. How on earth does this happen more than once?
I don’t know anything about how movies are filmed, but how come he shot two directors instead of other actors?
Could have been a malfunction too right? Like the gun explodes?
This is a very good question!
I predict this story quickly becomes about Alec Baldwin being actually crazy. No way this happens if anyone is following protocol.
It’s happened a few times before.
I thought it must be a joke. It’s like a Columbo script.
Just depends on what angle they were filming the scene from. Could just be getting an angle with Baldwin looking and shooting towards a camera.

It’s a dumb thing to focus on but doesn’t the word misfired mean failed to fire? I’d guess it might be a while before there’s a more detailed explanation of what exactly happened.
Lock of the year: People will claim this is a hoax perpetrated by liberal Hollywood to push for gun legislation.
Obviously what they needed was a Good Guy With A Gun to take out Baldwin before he could hurt innocent people. When will liberals learn!
Those aren’t actors, those are crisis actors!

It’s all part of the plot
