          1. That was the most amazing movie. I never saw the first two so I didn't know what to expect. Poetry.

            Also too he was awesome in Child 44.

    1. "3. A end around to Riley Cooper is technicaly called a reverse racism."

      *snort*

      Around here, he's known as Racist Riley Cooper. I've never not heard smokey call him anything but that.

    1. From the looks of things so far, no one will win or score. Unless they start awarding rouge points or something.

        1. Yeah, it's usually hundredths or thousandths. Largest margin evah in women's World Cup skiing. And Mikaela is just a kid, wait until she masters her craft.

  1. Just got back–car trouble (don't ask.) But it looks like I didn't miss much so far.

    Ew, do we really have to root for Dallas? Only for you, natl_[gorgeous]_cmdr…

  2. Okay, this game is awful, I'm going to play NBA Street V3 and have Luigi and Princess Peach dunk on Shaq and LeBron instead.

        1. It's tough for non-live things because of time zones, but I would not mind a tv discussion group, especially about Fargo (EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH FARGO! It has Bruce Campbell as Ronald Reagan this season!)

          1. Speaking of Bruce Campbell, last month Cmdr and I went to see Evil Dead The Musical. All the splatter zone seats were taken for every goddamn showing! grrr (It only played for a week or so). Much fun!! So much Ash!

        1. So gloriously bad even MST3K never touched it, I think, although it appears the gang from RiffTrax did a few years ago. Any film that has Tor Johnson in it is worth watching. (OK, not really.)

    1. I just… I don't even understand how it would work. Because even if I'm a Muslim, I can decide not to be Muslim for a couple weeks until my visa finishes processing, and I wouldn't be lying. And then I can start being Muslim again when I get here. (Also, has anyone told Donnie that most Muslims live in Indonesia?)

      1. Maybe stop them at the border and make them eat a ham sandwich or draw a Mohammed cartoon. As a bonus, we could weed out all the vegetarians and aspiring artists, also too…

          1. And that you should ask Bill Gates, internet expert, how to do that. I bet he calls Bill all the time with questions about how his AOL works. (Bill has blocked his number.)

  3. Woot! Another field goal! Will the game end 9 to 6, or 6 to 9? I'm still holding out on several safeties. The game will end 12 to 10 and no one who didn't watch this horrible mess of a game will realize how truly horrible it was.

  4. Oh good God–this boring game might go into overtime?

    Fuck it, time to walk the dogs. With luck, this will be over by the time I get back…

  5. Looks like I got back just in time to miss whatever Dallas did–but hey, this kick return + penalty might just screw things up for the Cowboys after all!

  6. It's official. The Skins are even shittier than the Cowgirls. How the fuck do you put the ball in the endzone with 44 seconds left and let Matt Cassel drive the field to beat you?

  7. Just a friendly reminder, smokey and I will be attending the Thursday Night Foot-the-ball game featuring the Vikings coming to the Arizona desert to face los Cardinales. The Vikings will lose by a score of 56 to 3, but we will be there! Since the game is in beautiful, downtown Glendale and we live in central Phoenix, we will have to leave around 3 a.m. to beat traffic. We will pose as Cardinales fans in order to garner free food and shitty adult beverages during the pregame fanfest before we enter the stadium. Neither of us have one of those fancy phones that lets you live bloog such an event, but we will be thinking of you and we hope you will be thinking of us. As my dear, departed father would say, Go, Vikes! (They'll lose.) "I wanna take you up to Glendale, take you for a real fine meal…" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL_9zWmDcjs

        1. just make sure your bluetooth is not in discoverable mode there. the local stores there are horrible about spamming you

          1. I only got a smartphone (pay-as-you-go) in April, and, except for that brief period after I moved when I didn't have my wifi in yet, I barely use the data plan that comes with my monthly fee. In the last 3 weeks, I've only used 134mb on cellular (mostly for GPS), vs the 5GB I've used on wifi. If the phone and text part wasn't so much better, I'd wonder why I didn't stick with my old flipphone+iPod Touch+Kindle Fire method.

          2. Ever since Sling, we stream between 350-375GB per month.. (Yeah, I know, bandwidth hogs. But as I've said before, no POTS/DSL fiber has been run in this building– part of some Arizona anti-competitive 'Preferred Provider Agreement' garbage. I really would like a dedicated line to make me not feel guilty.)
            Anyway, I only use my phone as an emergency thingie. (I really am a luddite, –it's fun to go on public wifi if I'm bored somewhere, but I don't need it).
            Sheesh, I have a Kindle Keyboard with wifi and an 'experimental' browser.
            I don't do a lot of things, ever. I'm old and boring, I guess. YAY!!

          3. I picked up one of the $50 Kindle Fires on Black Friday (when it was $35 — but I imagine they'll be on discount again soon). I have a couple older Kindles — a Touch with e-ink, and an early gen Fire. The little cheapy I just got is pretty nifty — decently lightweight, screen size is pretty good. I like the option of being able to read books with a lit screen, since I tend to keep room lighting low. It's also good for games and streaming/watching video. The speaker does suck ass, but you can plug in headphones or use a bluetooth speaker. But, still, being able to use the Dish Anywhere app (which is essentially Sling) to stream football or whatever and be able to take it outside while smoking or into the bathroom for… uh, reasons…. is nifty. The browser is even pretty much functional, unlike my older Fire. I'd recommend it, even to a Luddite :) (My aunt & uncle, who are in their 60s, love their Kindle Fires, and also the Roku I made them buy.)

  8. Yes, even if you watch it on your computer, if it was originally produced for a television network, or even a streaming service generally used on people's televisions, we call it "tv". Or do you just watch crappy amateur youtube videos?

  9. Yes, I would definitely be proud of watching a cat playing a piano rather than an expertly crafted serial theatrical production.

  10. Thanks honey: I've got a leak in my water pipe, and the mechanic is worried that there may be additional damage. I'll find out for sure tomorrow–wish me luck!

  11. Hopefully just the thermostat. Last month I had my radiator replaced. Cost about 400. (Idk, I've had my car for 8 years, it's a 2002 w/ 118K and all it's really had until this point is new tires, oil changes, batteries as needed in AZ, timing belt change and water pump, so I'm happy). OH, and the stupid battery wire that left us stranded a few months ago. [whoops!]

  12. btw, right now, I am using my tablet to watch The Daily Show episode that I recorded on my DVR in a different state. I love living in the future.
