  1. You mean trading DeAndre Hopkins for David Johnson wasn't a good trade? Holy cow - that trade was so bad most fantasy league commissioners wouldn't have allowed it.....
  2. Action Park was an amusement park outside on NYC in northern NJ. They ran ads that showed all the fun and exciting things you could do - a water park with a rope swing, jumping off high manmade cliffs into the water, and alpine slide, go carts, etc. They offered all these things, but didn't care much for safety. Park was staffed by 15 year old kids. They built some rides like a looping waterslide not with engineers, but by taking somebody's idea, building it and doing some of trial and error. It was jokingly called "Class Action Park" because so many people got hurt there and potentially sued. Several people actually died. The documentary goes through all of this but the stories are told by people who went as teens and "survived" so it's somewhat funny but pretty shocking - entertaining.
  3. Yes - really entertaining doc (funny at times, but pretty scary to see that all those things happened)....
  4. 2020 is such a crazy year filled with so much bad that it's great to hear such joyous news! Congrats to everyone and thanks for sharing some good news!
  5. I second this recommendation - it was an excellent documentary - 4 42-minute episodes so easy to watch. I like how they spent time really telling you about who the astronauts were - as you might expect, these were very interesting and talented people - really drives home what we all lost.
  6. Fargo is so damn good! I have loved seasons 1-3 and 4 looks like it is going to be fantastic again.
  7. As a long suffering Bills fan this is my fear as well (almost an assumption).... I like to joke that if the Bills get back to the Super Bowl the last thing you would hear would be "Heads" from the coin toss just before the giant asteroid strike ended all life on the planet...seems about right...
  8. The Minister of Silly Walks.....
  9. Wow - Jacksonville is a dumpster fire
  10. Best thing about Romo is that he really knows his stuff and will tell you what to look for on the next play before the snap - he's almost always right but he never comes off as a know it all, I'm better than you fans at home guy - I really enjoy learning things from watching him.
  11. Is it just me or is the video sort of yellow? Weird lighting....
  12. Man, I hate this yearly routine. I called Saturday and kept getting shut down. I already had a $70 off a month offer on my bill due to a problem I had a few months ago when I threatened to quit. Everyone I got said that they couldn't do anything because the computer wouldn't give them a promo and without that they couldn't do anything. This just got me more and more angry, so I kept asking to speak to someone else. By the time I had spent more than 90 minutes on the phone and was speaking to my 6th person/department they just went ahead and put it on my account for free. I honestly don't even know what department was able to do this - I started at customer loyalty and they did nothing for me. I guess if yo're willing to be persistent and spend a bunch of time being bounced around like a ping pong ball you can probably make this work, but man I hate it.
  13. I woke up in the middle of my knee replacement surgery as my surgeon was hammering away getting the top plate into my femur - I guess the force of the hits shook me awake. I remember opening my eyes and seeing the surgeon with a large surgical mallet and his arm cocked back ready to take another swing and then his eyes grew large seeing me wake up. Luckily I didn't feel anything (except the jolt of the hit) and they put me back under immediately, but that sure was an experience.....
  14. Damn - if he had read hair he'd be Beaker.....
  15. LOVE this show - can't wait for season 3 - I so hope they bring back Mark Hamill and Jackie Daytona!
  16. I'll take Dining Choices killed by Covid for $800, Alex....
  17. Slayer - Hell Awaits (you could feel the heat) Metallica - Hardwired Tour - Stage and sound took 110 semi trucks to transport
  18. I'm into killing puppies
  19. Moe Dickstein - Joe Piscopo's character in Wise Guys - always struck me as a great movie name.....
  20. Let's eat grandma! Let's eat, grandma!
  21. Retail has been hit hard - I can see why the naming rights to a stadium might be a luxury they could no longer afford. Gotta follow the money in this new economy.... Lysol Stadium Purell Stadium Amazon Stadium UPS Stadium Schwinn Stadium Teladoc Stadium
  22. Say, aren't those over by Peter Parker's place?
  23. Sad, Brooks was a client of mine - I know lots of good people in their IT department and I'm sad to think that they may all be looking for new jobs now. A few years ago one of their DC's had a roof collapse in CT due to snow and that really impacted their e-comm fulfillment business but they bounced back. Nothing is forever...
  24. Machine Head w/ Jesse Leach from Killswitch Engage - Stop the Bleeding Metal is a pretty white genre (although I've met plenty of people of color at shows), but the current push for social justice produced this track which is pretty damn cool - good song and video...
