  1. Probably the worst internet crap that came out of the marathon bombing was the one site (reddit or 4chan, one of those) who decided to go through pictures and find the bombers themselves. I'm sure it probably has been going on with this one too, but I hope we never see that again, labeling a bunch of people terrorists at an astounding success rate of 0% and then posting them all over the internet.
  2. I know it means nothing to anyone else, but I'm looking forward to a Stanley Cup final with Colin Wilson vs. Nick Bonino. They were the two best players on an incredibly fun to watch national championship season in 2009. Even if they're just supporting guys here, it'll be fun to re-live that a bit.
  3. There's probably no right word to use, but "losers" isn't strong enough. It's a bit too juvenile. I wish he would have used something more harsh.
  4. I've always been a sandwich fan, but lately I've been bringing salads. It works pretty well most of the time, just enough to keep me going. Either option, I go about as simple as possible.
  5. This makes me wish Mark Wahlberg would win an Oscar. Unfortunately, I have a better shot at one than he does.
  6. He was in the background in Avengers and it carried over to shield
  7. Did they ever say anything about how far removed from high school he was at that point?
  8. Vedder is starting a european tour next week. He may be gone already. Anyway, I don't think there's anyway the band or Vedder would be in a good enough place right now to do any shows. It has to be hitting very hard. I think those first couple european shows for Vedder may be in jeopardy at this point. You'll get all of Pearl Jam for anything they do decide to do. The bands have always been so closely associated. Pearl Jam never exists without Soundgarden. Hell, they've had Matt Cameron drumming for almost 20 years now. Damn, has it been that long since the original Soundgarden break up?
  9. Is it that Fox one with Terrence Howard, Wayward Pines? That's the most recent show that comes to mind that fits that description (from the commercials anyway, I never watched it).
  10. The lazy reporting makes it sound like they finished with the song itself as opposed to using it as a tag to Slaves and Bulldozers. That definitely changes things. And speaking of that song, I'm going to have to go dig up my copy of Badmotorfinger. I've got Superunknown in the car already, but I want to listen to both today.
  11. Ok, I hate the way this stuff is reported. I scanned their website briefly for set lists but didn't see anything. Pearl Jam actually charts everything they've ever played on their website, so I was hoping Soundgarden might have something similar.
  12. He did so much over the last ten or so years. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did. So the last song of the show last night was a cover of Zeppelin's "In my time of dying". I can't imagine that was a common show ender for them. He knew exactly what he was going to do.
  13. I liked them for a while, but I don't feel that most of their music aged very well. I can still listen to just about anything from the other bands listed, but not STP.
  14. And they both had fairly big villain roles in Agents of Shield recently. Kind of an odd coincidence there.
  15. This one is so different though since he made it to 52. Still very young, but it's a lifetime older than Kurt and Layne. Andy Wood's death fits in with those ones long before Cornell does. Oh, but now I see that No Saint also included Scott Weiland in there. Now there's a guy who was a trainwreck for such a long time. I have no idea how he lasted so long.
  16. He seemed to be a big family man at this stage in his life. I know I've seen constant references to his daughter in recent years on facebook. Whether that's actually him or just someone running his page, it was definitely a constant. They were right at the top of my list of favorite bands, so this one stings a bit, much more than so many of the other recent deaths. I'm glad I got the chance to see them when they initially got back together 5 or 6 years ago. And while we're posting songs, I might as well include the best Bond theme song there is:
  17. That's a crazy return. I have no idea how people make ends meet out there at those prices. Boston was very similar before I got the hell out of there (plus they have all those !@#$ pats fans). My nextdoor neighbors downsized from the San Diego area two years ago now that all their kids are out of college. It's not something I'll ever ask, but I'd love to know how much of a cushion they're sitting on now that they're in a ranch that probably went for around 250. Their San Diego house was over 3000 square feet, so I'm sure it went for a ton of money.
  18. I like the way things are working in the new construction market around here. We got in early in our neighborhood and next month will be our 2 year mark. The starting price on the same model we have is $50k more than it was for us even though they're now getting stuck with the crappy tiny lots that are left.
  19. I know I'm sick of hearing about that place. A bunch of people have raided our house and are trying to convert it into their condemned house. Get over it and stop trying to ruin someone else's stuff.
  20. I wonder how motivated some guys can be in a meaningless tournament like this when they're about to be able to sign a new contract.
  21. I heard something on the radio the other day saying that ABC is bringing back american idol and Perry will be the main judge. So this might be a rare case where something (the show) goes from "things that need to go away", actually does go away, but then comes back.
  22. That and he still has 16 years to catch up with Magic Johnson.
  23. Neve Campbell was on the most recent season of House of Cards.
  24. I know it's been on for two years, but has the timeline moved that much? I don't really get a feel for how much time has passed since the first episode. It feels like ages thanks to the way AMC schedules their shows.
