I was going to buy a ticket until I saw these numbers. There's no way I can live off of that "jackpot".

The Reno 911 guys writing it catches my eye a bit. I bet they could do something decent, but it is still a horrible horrible idea.

I'm enjoying this update so far. You earn the giftcards pretty quickly it seems. I'm going to get the 4th item when I turn it on later today. So far the bonus wheel is a bit annoying though. I've had two spins and both times I got $1000. It's annoying having to wait a full day, only to get a meaningless prize like that. I assume the money was in place of an old prize that I already have, like Christmas lights for a house or something. Oh, and I can't wait to get the community prize that gives you that old guy who had a stroke. I love that guy. I'll say "yes" like he does when I'm on the phone with my brother.

What's a bonus? I may get a promotion that comes with a 10% raise this month though. If that actually comes through, I'll consider it a bonus this year.

I'm as big of a fan of Christmas as you'll find, but there's some crazy stuff out there that really annoys me. Whether it is the random inflatables or ugly lights, I'm curious about what kind of decorations annoy everyone. Here are two for me: 1. People who have those car flag antlers on their cars and a giant red ball on the front grill, turning it into Rudolph. I can't stand these things. They are beyond stupid. 2. This one is very specific. The guy on the corner of my street has way too many lights in a small space. There is one thing specifically that drives me crazy. He has a statue of the Virgin Mary in his yard year round. At Christmas time, he surrounds it with a string of these incredibly stupid pig lights. Each light is a pink pig wearing scarves and gloves. So he's religious enough to have a Mary statue, but then he surrounds it with pig lights. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

This one might as well be guaranteed. Tyrese is currently with the two girls that Carol was supposed to take care of. They're definitely crossing paths very soon.

The point is that those people are blinding following "Brian" because they believe their life is at risk. Once they followed him to the prison, they were going to do whatever he lead them into. Slicing Hershel directly caused the gunfire and from that point on, it was either kill or be killed for them.

But only one person was around for any of those attacks. The rest of the Governors people know absolutely nothing about these people. There's also a bunch of new people inside the prison, so who knows how many supplies they may have added since the last encounter.

What if the prison crew have a stash of explosives? The Governors people have no way of knowing that. Once the fight started, they needed to take out people as fast as possible.

I don't think they expected a fight. That all went out the window though when the Gov. swung that sword. At that point, they either follow the tank or they're a sitting duck.

They started destroying everything because they were under fire from the prison crew. If they don't, they're dead. Even with the tank, they're the ones out in the open with little cover.

Is it bad that I want to see Out of the Furnace simply because of a song they used in the first trailer for the movie? Oh, the cast looks pretty damn good too, so at least I can fall back on that.

I'm really starting to hate trailers like this one that are blatantly designed for 3D. They did it with the first movie too, way too much coming towards the screen. I really hope that fad dies out sooner or later.

I have always loved Christmas, so my biggest complaint about the season is how so many people feel the need to rant about how much they hate it. I don't even mean threads like this one specifically, just the complaints that seem to be pretty widespread everywhere I go.

Emily is the name of the actress (Hershel's daughter). The character's name is Beth.

My two favorites are Die Hard and Gremlins.

What about the Oedipus complex that Santa has going, constantly calling the wife "mama"?

Shouldn't Hermie be dancing with one of the male elves?

I took the wife this weekend. All I could think the whole time was that they went an recreated the Star Wars trilogy for teenage girls. It was watchable, but I don't get why those movies are so popular. She'll have to pay me back by going to Anchorman next month.

I don't get all the details, but that sounds a lot like where my father-in-law is at right now, constant trips to the hospital and one procedure on a lung in the past month. It sure does leave a giant cloud hovering over life right now.

Have you seen the Cadbury "Screme" Eggs that they now put out at Halloween? It's great and all that they are now available at another time of the year, but it still just seems so wrong to me. They're not as special now that they've added a second season.

No, you can't send any CHL player down the the AHL while their season is ongoing. They can be in either the CHL (WHL, OHL, or QMJHL) or the NHL and that's it. Once a player is in the CHL, they cannot return to the NHL until their season is done, unless it is an emergency call up (I don't know if these actually exist anymore, but they used to). Years back Marty Biron made his Sabres debut on an injury call up. This rule is in place so that the junior leagues don't get raided of all their talent. Without it, every drafted player would wind up in the AHL right away and the junior league talent would be heavily diluted. I assume the rule you're hearing about a two player limit is that the junior leagues only allow their teams to carry at most 2 non-North American players at any time. This is being mentioned because Quebec, the junior team that has his rights, already has two non-NA players on their roster.

Who was it that suggested moving Jasper to inside LB?

I did notify them of the problem. It took a couple days to get a response and when I finally did, it was mostly useless. I deleted the game shortly after that.

I lost access to mine for a while last year. I think I went about 2 months without accessing it. After a couple weeks, I deleted the game, so I'm not sure how long it was actually out of commission. I downloaded it again after those 2 months because I was bored one day and it finally worked again. When I got back on the game, I had something like 250 donuts waiting for me. So maybe there's one little bonus coming your way if/when you are able to play again.
