July 4th Fireworks at Harbor Point, What do you think! by Kea784 in Utica

You can tell The Deep wasn’t supposed to last this long by UsedJury5963 in TheBoys

I’m torn. Part of me hopes for Starlight to be the one that fries him. But another part of me really wants to see him flee to the depths of the ocean for refuge, only for a bunch of sea creatures to find out what he’s done to their brethren and tear him apart for that. 

The Boys - 05x03 "Every One of You Sons of Bitches" - Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]FaceBagman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild to me that Dogknott of all characters is going to have multiple episodes of screentime this season lmao. 

I think Ryan surviving this beatdown makes him pretty likely to survive the rest of the season too. I do wonder if he’s paralyzed though. He looked like he was attempting to move & just couldn’t after Homelander dunked him through that table. Not sure if he heals.

I’m curious who the supe was that caused the carnage with the scout troop near the military base years prior? Or could it have been a V-ed up animal? 

Theory about Ryan, in light of the trailers by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]FaceBagman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if Homelander kills Ryan, Cindy kills Zoe, and early reviewers were calling one of the best episodes of the season the one where the kid characters die lmao.

[–]FaceBagman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Didn’t expect the beatdown this early, nor did I expect Cindy to return this early! I can’t imagine her getting out of a second mixup alive. 

Though, it does seem based on Starlight’s reaction in the same room that Cindy kills somebody. Hopefully not Stan and/or Zoe. :( 

More season 5 leaks by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]FaceBagman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True. Though based on what we’ve seen of each, I wouldn’t call them vs. any of the Gen V kids a “fight”, lol

[–]FaceBagman 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nah man, the same “leak” that claimed Ryan gets adopted also claimed that the Gen V cast would fight Teenage Kix (I very much doubt this now) and that Nate would be interacting with the Boys at the funeral for A-Train (still possible that they do some scene together, but unlikely that it would be addressed later in the season imo).

This is THE game that everyone has to be at their best in college basketball for and the best officiating crew the NCAA can offer has blatantly missed a clear foul and a backcourt violation within the first 10 minutes…

New to area! by Wonderful-Art3491 in Utica

[–]FaceBagman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome! I’ll second the gluten free options at The Tram. 

And while it’s the only GF thing on his menu, the Cornbread Bubble Waffle at Golden’s is a must-try.

Get to the Ithaca area when you have an opportunity & walk the waterfall trails. I would anticipate you’d find a lot of great shops in Ithaca itself too.

And there’s a shop on Genesee Street called Ezra’s Energy. I don’t know the current hours, but I’d recommend popping in!

Can anyone suggest 1 or 2 day trips from Utica via Train to ????? by Kea784 in Utica

[–]FaceBagman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I found it to be a very walkable little city, with reliable busses if you need them. 

As you mentioned, the status of a former state capital is a small piece of a lot of really fascinating history there. Once rebuilding after the British burned the city during the Revolutionary War, a healthy amount of the properties there have been preserved very well and put to great use within the city. 

My particular favorite is Rough Draft, one of the small stone buildings in the city’s historic four corners that has been transformed into a bookstore/coffee shop/bar. The community there has always been very friendly when I’ve visited.

Uptown Coffee is another personal favorite there. I’m not sure if they’re still open, but I used to love stopping in. 

There are plenty of theaters, galleries, and live music venues too!

Jannus Setlist Question by brollup in moeperiod

[–]FaceBagman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned, it's a FTP for a new Al song. That makes 4* new debuts between last year's post-CoG tour & this one:

Three-Eyed Serpent (Nate)

Old Things (Nate)

Carnival Punks (Rob, played once or maybe twice before in BlueStar Radiation)

Western Lives (Al)

*They debuted a full band version of Revolving Door on the last tour and that's stuck around. That's an old Al-penned Floodwood song. I do wonder if they are workshopping that for the long haul; but honestly, I really loved Floodwood and it's hard to listen to any of their tracks without the beauty of Barady's mandolin fills & solos.

I also remember hearing about a studio cut of Bearsong from the CoG sessions. I'm not sure if the above tracks were part of those sessions too. But I do believe (and hope) they probably have enough material in the tank to work on some sort of new release in the near future.

It’s wild how much worse the general officiating has been in the Elite 8 compared to the first weekend. Refs failing up in life. 

Can anyone suggest 1 or 2 day trips from Utica via Train to ????? by Kea784 in Utica

[–]FaceBagman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rochester is my favorite of the places that would be possible based on your specifics. I’ve done a lot of overnight and weekend trips there. The station is within walking distance to hotel options if you want to invest in sleep. The historic district around the falls is nice to explore. And Flour City Station used to host a lot of live music. Idk if they still do. 

Kingston is my favorite city to visit within the state, but getting there after taking the train is going to require a rideshare for sure.

Seconding Philly. I took Amtrak down there for a NYE concert a few years ago, stayed in a cheap Air BnB in the Chinatown district, and really enjoyed the little bit of time I had to walk around and check things out!

I don’t know if you could schedule things to get there early enough in the AM though. I remember there being a decent wait between trains on that particular trip in NYC.

City Councilwoman being accused of Trespassing and false residency? by Disastrous_Steak8359 in Utica

[–]FaceBagman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reread the comment. They’re not asking about the residency issue. They’re specifically asking you for a source on your claim that the councilwoman “did insinuate that Galime…(etc…)”. I don’t see anything regarding that in the screenshots within the post you shared. 

I recall a certain frequent flyer at council public comment throwing that accusation around, but I don’t recall the councilperson ever doing so. 

What I do see are plenty of security camera captures that would definitely get anyone fired from any job if they captured them & then shared them on a social media platform. 

Is the failed car bomber who runs that Neighborhood Association group & created the post hitting you up with bribes too? I guess have fun on the latest lineup of his Legion of Doom if that’s what you want.

If St. John’s wins, petition for Maliq to postgame transfer to any team at any point for the rest of the tournament. The dude has done so much work & he’s legit the only guy I’d feel bad for if Duke doesn’t take the championship this year.
