  1. Having mechanical joints should be old school for a robot?
  2. Ordered both a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know which arrives first.
  3. It's already happened in Virginia. Think it changed late October. We usually asked for paper and they are still available for .05 per bag.
  4. You're right! If they were smart, they wouldn't have had to cheat, and the whole thing wouldn't have happened. The others were mostly "legacy." That's Ivy League nepotism.
  5. I know about the fare, it's the tax that's absurd What was the total ticket?
  6. That's nice BUT Wembley is a like an English LA Coliseum. Built for Olympic events not NFL games. Too many bad seats to sell. How many "locals" go to game(s), or care about the NFL? For those who do travel from the USA be prepared for the London departure tax buried on your plane ticket. Last time I checked it was in the $160 range.
  7. Always knew he was a goat roper, the cat thing is new.
  8. Not unusual to see people with "accents" to end up in the wrong place. Was that Dallas OR Dulles?
  9. '93 was good BUT lacked the good ending. Not sure how this one will turn out if we can't stop the run.
  10. My Dad had a cousin that lived in Tupper Lake. I remember when the NYC had steam trains running up there in the 50's. Used to be plant there that made bowling pins, back when bowling was big. Mostly made from birch wood. Lived in Seattle during the 6.8 quake in 2001. My wife asked me why the house was shaking and I said it's either an earthquake of the NYC just ran a steam loco across the front yard. That's what the quake felt like.
  11. Always read Shout, just for the articles!
  12. Dan Snyder has quite a nice shine on his shoes. Now we know why! Seems Fredo is actually good for something.
  13. It's very sad but our infrastructure is crumbling. Worse is that our elected "representatives" are too busy fighting and investigating each other to pay attention. Very little representing going on! A couple of years ago I drove US240 from US 30 in PA, N to BUF. PA had a lot of flooding issues due to too much rain for the ground to absorb. Flash flood damage made US240 a mess. Bridges out and detours everywhere. I would guess the roads in the Adirondacks are similar, and maybe as old too? So many of the roads and bridges have far outlived their design life, and nothing is being done! NYS should be ashamed considering the tax money that they demand.
  14. The metric thing will get nothing but worse if the NFL expands to Europe again.
  15. You know how that goes, the forecast never comes true, so people tend to ignore them till the big one eventually shows up. If I see Jim Cantore on my street I know we're in deep sh*t.
  16. My wife had a hysterectomy because of 3 fibroids. We were living in Seattle then so i named them Manny, Moe & Jack after the Pep Boys. Not meaningful to her till I showed her a Pep Boys ad with the 3 characters. They were left in a hospital dumpster in Redmond WA.
  17. I really believe that Doctors tend to stereotype people. They look at a person, and decide what the problem may be based on age, gender, race etc. If Trent was too young to statistically have that tumor, or if it was very rare for his gender/race etc., they would never look for it. My wife almost died of a ruptured appendix because she was misdiagnosed in the ER with Crohn's. After many days, when her white cell blood count was off the charts, they decided to operate, and found the ruptured appendix. They seemed to believe that A white female 60 yrs old should not have had that, so she was never examined or asked about that.
  18. 75-80. Turned the lights off at 8PM. We were under a tornado watch till 11PM, nothing happened except some wind and later rain, but it may have cleared things out early?
  19. Have not heard "Give him the business: in years. The three stooges came to mind.
  20. How far can a kid run inside the Iron Triangle?
  21. No plastic grocery bags there either. Saving Brooklyn for the future generations ya know.
  22. At the ground? A disagreement over the creation?
