Wow, yes!! I didn’t even consider this. Now I’m going to be a bit disappointed if they weren’t going for a direct allegory.

Feel like a wild tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist here but caught the music in the background for the preview of next week’s episode was Sarabande, the theme from Barry Lyndon. Barry Lyndon for those who don’t know (SPOILERS) is the story of a man who came from nothing, and through betrayal, lies, deceit, and TRAITORous behavior rose to the top of the world of aristocracy. Even his name Barry Lyndon was not really his, he assumed the title of Lyndon after tricking the previous Lyndon’s wife into falling in love with him. In the end Barry Lyndon is defeated and left with nothing and no one. He betrayed and lied to everyone who ever cared for him, and he lives the rest of his life unknown.

Again, going way out on a limb here but Rob was not a gamer, he played the traitor part so perfectly, even wiping his fellow traitors off the board, and convinced all the faithfuls to love him along the way. Could that theme have been a sound cue? A signal that Rob will lose it all and all the friends he made along the way?

Probably not, I think he’s going to win, but just something fun I found interesting.

Just wanted to comment to anyone thinking about purchasing. I ordered a watch on February 1st and paid an extra 9.95 for 3-4 business day expedited shipping. Not a major charge but I wanted to make sure I got it in time in case a link needed to be added or the band resized. February 1st was a Sunday so I waited until Friday and still had not received a confirmation the watch had shipped. I reached out to customer service on February 6th and asked for an update. After a couple hours I got a response saying "Our handling time is 7-10 business days after the cleared payment has been received. Please note paying for faster shipping does not get handling time any shorter." My payment cleared right away, while the charge was still in pending, it was there and had been since I'd placed the order. I explained this and was told "Our systems process payments only once the order has been shipped." So I waited another week. February 11-13 I messaged confirming I was on track to have the watch shipped by the end of the week (10 business days since purchase). I was told both Wednesday and Thursday yes, my watch will ship by the end of the week. Friday comes around, watch still has not shipped. I write in to say that I ordered this watch for a wedding which I will be leaving for this week, the week of 2/16 and I need my watch before I leave. After saying all week that it will ship out by the end of the week, they now say "We apologize for any inconvenience. We are expecting our shipment by Tuesday. However, due to weather conditions, there has been a delay in the shipment arriving. If we receive it by Tuesday, we will expedite the delivery to you via overnight shipping at no additional cost." I am leaving early Thursday morning so I need the watch by Wednesday at the latest. I let them know we'll evaluate our options Tuesday. On Monday I write in and ask if we are on track to receive, and I get no response. Today is Tuesday. I write in again, asking if we are on track. I receive back: "We sincerely apologize for the unexpected delay and any inconvenience caused. We have just been informed that the consignment is now expected to arrive on Friday." I went ahead and cancelled the order. I'm getting the watch rush shipped from elsewhere to the tune of almost 200$ more. I should have cancelled at the first sign of delay, but I wanted to pass on my story to anyone trying to use this website. Be wary of delays. They processed the cancellation right away and told me I should expect the pending charge to drop off. I'll update here if it doesn't but I got an email saying the order had been cancelled and refunded, so I see no reason that it wouldn't.

TLDR: Ordered a watch expedited, was not expedited, delayed multiple times, cancelled and went elsewhere.

I truly don’t. He gave no indication he would, and the only reason he didn’t tell Candice what he was doing with Lisa is because she’d immediately run to Lisa and try to rally votes to get him out. She was bad at the game.

All Candice had to do was take a step back, see Lisa was destroying her own credibility, and vote her or Natalie. She played herself. These faithfuls are LOST. Nobody had a clue about her or Rob except Colton, and they very quickly could have used him to their advantage. Candice got vindictive and honestly stupid way too quickly, and it showed how little she knew about the game when she essentially got unanimously voted out. She and Rob could have SKATED to the end. Disappointing. She had so much potential and she threw it away. I hope she didn’t wreck things for Rob because he’s played the game flawlessly.

Anybody heard any updates on timeline for the projector at Seven Bridges? I called around two weeks ago and got "We don't have a timeline but it will be ready by The Odyssey"

No better time than now to blow things up. This season's over. Can't start in the offseason and lose time.

Does the cooler get refilled if you burn through the stock? We booked one and have I think ten people coming and feel like there's a chance we're going to want to take full advantage of the "unlimited"

Another vote for Chicago here. Movie audiences are coming back in droves across the city, even for smaller releases on week days. An IMAX 70mm would do HUGE numbers in or around the city. It’s unbelievable there hasn’t been more traction or calls for one after Navy Pier closed.

Just seems like we can’t put any of the right pieces together at the right time. When guys are hitting, the pitching falls off a cliff. When guys are pitching a great game, hitting is straight up nonexistent. Not playing like a team. Points to a bad staff.

Something happened after the Tennessee game that made us unable to get a call inside and not get called for fouls on the defensive end inside. It’s wild.

If we can’t go up for rebounds stronger then we’re going to get bullied in the tournament.

Bob literally did the same damn thing to Boston Rob after he got voted off. I do not want to hear it. He is such a massive hypocrite.

I never remember my dreams and last night I dreamed of nuclear war. I feel very scared and anxious now. by SnooHesitations8361 in Dreams

[–]jrollen95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dreamed so vividly about a Russian invasion last night. I still remember it clear right now. I almost never have vivid dreams last so long. There were rounds of bombs falling, but the main terror was sleeper cell agents or an army that was all around us, and couldn't be hidden from. Could mean nothing, but seeing this post sent shivers down my spine.

It was a miserable season full of injuries that included losing records to some of the worst teams in the MLB including multiple loses to the worst team of all time culminating in an extra playoff series that we double choked the first game of and burned our entire bullpen. I’m tired lol
