  1. 33 Commonly Misunderstood Words & Phrases A couple of other bastardizations I've noticed more and more where I live include: - "Supposably" instead of supposedly - "Acrossed" instead of "across" (when did this **** happen?) Here is the infographic:
  2. One of my favorites from the Lego movie that I often use with my work colleagues...
  3. Amazing how many more fish are jumping in the evening hours. A couple of shots from just now:
  4. One of the interesting things to me is that there are several bears that are always in the same spots. Like there are three or four that have their one favorite spot and they're always there.
  5. Later in the evening it seems like there are a lot more, all jumping together. It's amazing to see.
  6. "I know you're trying to be all mystical and kung fu-ey, but could you at least tell me where we're going?" "There is now a level zero."
  7. Off playing with his one-legged spherical gecko.
  8. Looking good now. Bears are back at it.
  9. "Jo, we're gonna lose, and we're gonna lose huge." - A Few Good Men
  10. Watching a mother feed her three cubs. It's amazing, she keeps catching one fish after another, like it was easy. Kids are eating like kings.
  11. They seem to be there almost all the time. Which makes sense, given the insane number of salmon I've seen them eat whenever I tune in. I watched one time this week when one of them caught a fish and started eating it, then a second and third approached and both went after him, and one of the others stole his fish. Pretty wild.
  12. I thought about adding that in, considering they allowed refs to judge if a face mask grab was intentional or not. So why not interference? But I think the implications are too great (ie, spot foul) for a judgment call like that.
  13. I would change a couple of penalty costs. First, I'd change pass interference to a 15-yard penalty. This spot-foul thing can really suck when teams look for it on 3rd or 4th and 20-something, especially when it's a close call. I'd also consider changing defensive holding so it's no longer an automatic first down. I can understand the rationale for it, but so many of the calls are ticky-tack that it can just destroy a team's morale when t's 3rd and 15 and some minor or invisible hold on the opposite side of the play ruins a defensive stop. Hell, make it 10 yards instead of 5 if you have to.
  14. I think this is on target. I also agree with whoever said 3D printing technology. That could be bigger than anyone is imagining right now...
  15. Yep. Probably my favorite line from that film, which is saying something since there are so goddamn many good ones. By the way, it was just on TNT (like it is every month or so), which reminded me of this one.
  16. "I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty now that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."
  17. Done! Thanks for the additions. This I would agree with. Have to go there once.
  18. Live bear cam at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park in Alaska. A favorite place for bears to sit and catch salmon as they swim upstream. Love having this on in the background while working.
  19. Ah, shame. Their web site says, "Look for us in August on Niagara Street. More to come!" So I guess I'll mark down that it's closed, but I'll leave it in there and on the map for now. Thanks.
  20. Hey, that's a good idea, thanks!
  21. Well, I've reached the limit for the number of layers I can have in that Google Map, so we can't have any new categories anyway.
  22. If you need some good food suggestions while you're in Buffalo, I know a good thread for that.
  23. Wow, you must have been drinking pretty hard those first couple of years.
  24. Thanks, I'll start sifting through it...
