  1. Does he break out the ruler for every single one he brings home?
  2. That doesn't happen until the second they get the powerplay going. Their lack of scoring, combined with all the shorties pretty much singlehandedly accounts for at least 3 losses so far. I know that probably doesn't sound like much, but swap out 3 losses for wins and look where they would be in the standings.
  3. I have no problem with XM switching over to the Christmas music. They've at a couple hundred stations and could probably get away with playing it year round if they really had to. I don't think many are going to one of those 5-6 random top hits stations that they replace this time of the year. This will be my third Christmas in my neighborhood. Everyone on my street is outside the day after thanksgiving putting up their lights. It's kind of fun yelling back and forth at each other or silently waiting for the one guy to fall off his roof. Some might say that day is too early for lights, but you have to do it when you have the free time.
  4. I want computer generated bots that recreate some of the trolls we've lost over the years. It would be like those hologram Michael Jackson performances.
  5. That entire group on defense is a scary sight, 2 NHLers in the group.
  6. I saw a funny one on the drive to work this morning. There's a mayor race in my town. A guy was standing on the median of the road with a "vote for so-and-so for mayor" sign. The funny part was that he was actually in the next town over. Sure, you'll still get a good number of our residents driving through, but I can't help but think he could have picked a better spot. edit: And I should add that where he was standing, only people drivin away from the appropriate polling place would see him.
  7. His mental state has flipped a few times now over the course of the series. I just can't see how crazy is going to work well in the middle of a war. And it wasn't just during the fight with Jesus. His mind has been shot since the kid got killed.
  8. What exactly does Negan know? Things haven't exactly gone too well for him so far. The body count is probably close to 100:1 in favor of Rick/Maggie/Ezekiel right now. Does his entire knowledge of their plan come down to them moving that huge gun and ambushing the Kingdom troops? Oh, and it's a shame that we are going to be losing Morgan this season. I can't see any possible way that we walks away now that he's losing his mind again.
  9. I didnt notice it until rewatching the highlight today. What Eichel did on that 2-on-0 shorty goal was filthy.
  10. Costco's stuff was all available online and the sales prices were on for a couple weeks. There was zero insanity endured.
  11. And if you can wait a couple weeks, they're going to have bigger deals around black friday time. That's when I got my tv last year.
  12. I bought an LG right around Thanksgiving last year. It was fine most of the time, but then I watched a hockey game. I pretty quickly noticed that the left half of the screen was slightly darker than the right. It was only noticeable with a very light colored background (the white ice in hockey). LG wound up sending someone to fix it, but ultimately, I didn't want to have a tv that someone had worked on within a month of buying it. I wound up returning it (Costco) and lucked my way into a really nice sale on a Samsung. The same amount of money got me a tv and a wireless soundbar. The LG left me a little skeptical about their tvs. I have a wall mounted tv with a single hdmi line running through the wall to where I store my media (directv box and PS4). I really didn't want to go to the effort of running any extra cables through that wall, so I bought a splitter with 4 hdmi inputs. I bet it's the same one you have. It seems to recognize the device like you said, but I tend to have both on at the same time, so I'm using that remote a lot. My only concern is that the remote is so damn small that it's bound to disappear at some point, especially with how recklessly my wife will toss it just about anywhere in the room. Still, it was well worth the cost so that I could avoid fishing that extra line through the wall and avoiding what probably would have been some visible wires behind the wall mount.
  13. It's fitting that the movies being mentioned here outside of the Pirates ones were from the 90s. There will be a movie that sneaks in here and there, but I feel like Depp has become a caricature over the last 15 or so years.
  14. They do a great job of trying to draw those assumptions out of people. I feel like they could edit together a trailer that leads you to thinking Chewie is Rey's father if they really wanted to.
  15. I doubt the script calls for an over the top, androgynous corpse.
  16. It does look like a good cast, but at this point, the second I see Johnny Depp listed in a cast, I immediately pass on seeing the movie.
  17. I like how they knew that the vast majority of the audience was going to have no clue who Morales was. Rick's line may as well have been "hey, weren't you that guy from season 1?"
  18. I'd love to hear any serious explanation for Construction.
  19. Another NBC game? Great, I get another night of listening to where every single player used to play.
  20. Negan will force feed him a laxative.
  21. Didnt rick at some point say hes been thinking about the future? The old man stuff and the red-eye could be the good and bad futures he pictures. Hes alive in both versions because he knows hell win. Its just a matter of how much he will lose in the process.
  22. I'd guess present day since the original visit there with Rick was a day or so earlier.
