  1. Good on ESPN for being livid about the no-call goaltending near the end of the Blazers/Jazz game.  Horrendous.

      Agreed, that was horrible. Gave the impression of the refs rigging the game. 3 refs missed it? All eyes right there. Come on now.

      There were some other key fouls that were missed/unfair big-time, like the one that led to Ariza's T's and subsequent ejection over, and the one that put Simons out of the game. 

  2. I'm never thrilled when a quarterback throws multiple ugly picks and still wins MVP.  But even for the brief career Mahomes has had so far he deserves to win a Super Bowl.

      I would tend to agree, but he made so many incredible plays.  Hard to see the Chiefs winning without Mahomes' legs... and he made some great throws down the line to make up for misses earlier on.

  3. Mmm.. dare I say it-- are Lay's STAX actually better than Pringles?  More crunch, more flavor, cheaper cost??

      Actually, they go for $1 at Fred Meyer fairly often.

      Right on!  Here I know they have'em at Dollar Tree.  I like to get the cheddar flavored ones and (for some weird reason) I like to dip them in cole slaw. ?

      I kind of wish they had more flavors but the basic ones they do have are really good.  Sour Cream & Onion is my favorite.

  4. Dog Police!  Where are coming from, Dog Police?  Nobody knows who you are!

      I remember watching The Electric Co. occasionally in school...We all mainly liked the little Spider Man segment.   It is funny, I always remembered that theme song, but it sure sounded different in my head all these years!  I'll bet I haven't actually heard this  song since 4th Grade!

  5. Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends.  We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.

      Yup.  Plenty of room in the Taco thread!

      Kentucky Fried Movie reference? or was it another film...hmmm..

      ^ Yes, it was KFM.  Classic, silly movie.

  7. Man, Hoyt Curtain sure made some great music for Hanna Barbera cartoons.  Especially Super Friends and Wacky Races!

      Actually thinking back to it,  the music to Super Friends was Amazing!

      Yeah, he was very underrated and seemed to have disappeared when 1980 came.

  8. Was anyone else puzzled by the Rocky & Bullwinkle bumper where they fall off a cliff (created by lightning), turn into ghosts (?!) and then grow out of the ground??  WTF!

  9. I sometimes get an odd kick out of putting on invincibility cheats in MAME and leaving an old game's demo on.  The computer controlled character doesn't know what to do when it's supposed to die!

      Oh how cool? Any certain games particularly amusing?

      That's funny; I did that a *lot* with the pac-man variants

    3. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      Well, maybe it's not amusing per se to most.. I just find it interesting.  Many games probably just have a certain time limit for the demo regardless of invincibility before it goes back to the main screen.  Mario's actions in Donkey Kong always interested me.  You can almost hear the computer saying "Hey-- I was supposed to die!  What the hell am I supposed to do now?".

      My girlfriend got mad at me when I told her the words to part of the song Tubthumping were "pissing the night away" as she thought they were "dancing the night away".

  11. Well, that was quick.  The Popeye's chicken sandwiches ran out again.

      Chicken sandwiches for the masses, not the classes.  ?

      I had that on some K-Tel novelty/silly song compilation album, I think it was on GOOFY GREATS.  Ahab The Arab, Gitarzan, Beep Beep, Mr. Custer and others were on it.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Ahab The Arab!!  Have not heard that one in a month of Sundays!!  Gonna have to look it up...

      Some of my favorites that were also on that album were SNOOPY VS. THE RED BARON, YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY and SIMON SAYS.  I got that album for my 4th or 5th birthday.

  14. "You'll find dat life is still woit'while.. if you.. just.. smile."

  15. Hmm.. I select "reply to this topic" but it acts as "quote".  Strange..

  16. GOOOO CYBERTRON!  LAND OF THE METAL MOON! (passes out)-- Megatron

  17. Ah.. nothing like spending most the day in the laundry room trying in vain to find out what's wrong with your washer, having to test a load of clothes and shop vacuuming up the ensuing flood water.  

  18. A song that's been haunting me forever and I finally found out what it was: "I Love Your Smile"- Shanice:

     

    1. Joe C.

      I still like that song to this day.

      I've actually added this to a few 80's mixes I have even though it is out of decade. ;)

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Awesome!  It's always nice to figure out one that's been rumbling around in your head...I'm going to guess I've heard this one time (partially, perhaps)...Coming out of a speaker painted white to match a ceiling, in the background at a dentist's waiting room, err wait...Optical.

  19. Cosmetic surgery tomorrow.. out of work 3 weeks.  I will be an ugly SOB for a while (black eyes) but it will be worth it in the long run.  Plus; no work!

      ^ Removal of eye bags/puffiness around the eyes.  I hate the look of it and it's gotten worse within the last 5 years or so.

      Ah fair enough, I have had that exact issue my whole life, dark circles, "bags" etc, it is literally from my mother's side, I cannot be bothered to do anything cosmetically as I am married 15 years + and I am 51 so as long as my wife loves me screw everyone else (here is a rough quick image to show I am not just lying, sometimes it can look better than this image and sometimes worse) but you have your reasons and best of luck, you do what makes you feel best. Hell 20+ years ago if I was in the financial position I might have considered it, lord knows I had enough of people saying "You look tired, get enough sleep last night?" in my life ?

      ^ I completely hear you.  It had just gotten worse within the last 5 years or so and I had saved up enough, so I took the plunge.  I look even worse today than I thought I would.  The eyes are black, crusty and swollen and have tape all over them.  Hideous!  But they're not getting teary as bad as before.  Just gotta take pain meds here and there.  The tape comes out Sunday.  Gonna be another week and a half or so before it looks presentable.  Right now, I will completely avoid going out or looking in mirrors.

  20. Wow.. Dolphins have been outscored 102-10 to start the season.  They could be breaking some NFL records before the season is even over!

      Ya know, if you keep having to ask, and she's not answering you...  Maybe she's not ok...  Just sayin' :P 

  23. Yikes.. cosmetic surgery is going to be bat-sh*t expensive.  My eyes look like crap though.  I'll at least finally get to use sick time at work.
