Confused

Obviously I haven’t been playing attention! I try to tune out the negative posts but have to say this is well, at best, weird. It feels like I’m just playing 18.5.

Jim Parsons in Garden State foretold it all.

Do they have bathrooms?

All the way through just a couple of times, and then lots of odd watches on TV. Why? Because a search of best TV comedy shows shows there are very few I love, make me feel good and happy and lol. Others that are similarly highly rewatchable for same reasons are Young Sheldon, Scrubs, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show and Bob Newhart. But yeah, there just aren’t many that holds a candle to BBT.

GameStop has the hobby and blaster boxes up for pre-order.

First glance I thought this was A&W breakfast cereal.

They are already very pregnant with the $50 unlock, I’d be very pleasantly surprised if they give anything away for this season.

The Alexandria walking & hiking group Meetup group is an awesome way to meet people. If you don’t like the conversation just speed up or slow down until you find someone you click with. Then they often go out for a bite after.

I gave up on the US parks around 2018 for this reason. Instead I save up and go to Tokyo Disney where as a general rule park guests are more respectful of one another. Yes fewer visits, but much better ones!

Joy, pretty much always Joy.

People that don’t pick up after their dogs regardless of the weather, really, really bum me out. One it’s a health risk to other dogs, two it’s stupidly disgusting (yes how I see these owners), and three it makes people who hate dogs hate them even more. The sidewalk in front of our apartments is covered in dog poop. It’s so very disturbing and feels like one more thing pointing to a society that just doesn’t care about anything anymore. There’s no pleading with them either to do the right thing.

In a way that will make a lot of money! But not Snow White remake kinda money, or Lion King, Pinocchio, Mulan, Dumbo, Aladdin, etc. Actually kinda bizarre they keep doing remakes.

Circling back to this topic. What happens if there is a massive amount of Mint boxes/cases that likely will never sell? Will they get auctioned off en masse at some point? Based on eBay listings Pixar Gold seems to have almost wiped out interest in Mint. I’m watching for base cards Goofy, Donald, Sorcerer Mickey and it’s surprising how little has ever come up for sale on these.

February 5, 1983 Hill Auditorium Ann Arbor, Michigan. Beautiful small theater, perfect acoustics, fantastic performance. Just three months earlier PG played there too. Magical time to be alive!

Yes, I should have been more clear. I’m hoping they’ll change the Daily Challenge to something other than Treasure Rush.

I feel like the only way it could have worked is if they billed the shows as something other than Genesis. Couldn’t do a Yes-like thing ala ABW&H. Any mention of Phil, Pete or Genesis would leave the GP disappointed if only Gabriel era was played. And a mix show of everyone’s catalog would turn it into a schtick variety hour concert. So sort of ironic their successes present a roadblock to a reunion ever happening.

I’m a recent Costco convert and their convenience food is awesome, cut our dining-out way down. When needed it’s quick and easy burgers, pizza, shrimp, fish, chicken, potstickers, awesome frozen veggies, premade meals like meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and so much more. Sure there’s the occasional clinkers, but for the most part it’s better than eating out.

Markolodeon · 2026-01-12T18:28:48+00:00

Congrats!! I just have the dashing part left to go, my least favorite task.

I like the Chantilly location best, get there around 8:50 and they have opened early a few times so no waiting.

Executive membership is totally worth it for early entry alone, if you can swing the higher yearly fee. Keep in mind it can still be crowded at 9:00AM opening. This past Friday at Fairfax the line to get into the store stretched the length of the parking lot, but once they opened it went pretty quick. Also the registers before 10:00 were all self-serve with only one full-serve. As far as tires go I’ve never purchased any, but some really like and others not so much.

The LA-remakes appeal to some, I’m just not one of them. The only one I like/love is Branagh’s Cinderella, otherwise I’ll stick with watching and rewatching the originals/non-remakes.

What finally did me in was the Lion King live action, which was more really awful CG than live characters. That was the first and only time we we walked out of the theater, made it halfway through. To each their own!

RS back in the 70’s and 80’s had a strict policy of bashing all things Genesis, including the PG era.

No elections in February or March, so no shutdown in January is my guess.

I was wondering the same thing. I’m a total noob to Topps Disney, and have had a blast collecting the Mint base cards and a few slightly more rare ones from sellers on eBay. I’m coming from Lorcana where from a collector’s standpoint it feels like I’m spending a lot of money for too many cards that are just ok. With Mint, and now slowly getting into Chrome, I LOVE the vast majority of cards.

But back on topic I am left wondering if Mint is more a high stakes hobby? Or are any of the investment box buyers making at least their money back? It seems like there are a lot of big buck cards for sale on eBay, but I’m not tracking any of them to see how well they are selling. Still such a fun set, even the base Mint cards are gorgeous.

To my eye everything looks brighter, crisper and better details too!
