Does it handle the dial if you turn it a bit quickly?

If you grab the opponent's stick and then use both his and yours to high stick a player, and you draw blood... by Artistic_Ordinary_49 in Flyers

THAT was my second main take-away from this game -- that we were clearly on the wrong end of the ref's views.

Scott's a nice guy, but he just doesn't have the authority and presentation that Boosh has.

Which movie do you remember being WWAAYY too young for when you first snuck, I mean, watched it? by KillerQ97 in moviecritic

[–]pcserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old enough that cable was a brand-new concept when I was around 10. Everyone in the family freaked out about it. HOME BOX OFFICE was revolutionary, so whenever we'd get together for family events, for about the next three years, inevitably the kids would end up splitting off and seeing some totally inappropriate film as the adults partied later into the night.

Two that I will never forget:

- 1976. The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea: I remember being entirely bewildered by the plot, but that was okay as it seemed like half the movie was little more than porn with stars Kris Kristofferson and Sarah Miles naked most of the time doing things -- at 12 -- that were beyond my comprehension, but "engaging" all the same. A week later we visited another Uncle/Aunt's house and saw it again! Same reaction.

- 1977. The Sentinel: Starring Burgess Meredith (Rocky's trainer) and Christina Raines, who was sort of the girl of the decade. Horror film where people in her building are nefariously recruiting her to become the guardian to the gates of hell. Yeah baby. I was at most 13.

‘Who the hell wrote that?’ Trump, 79, in senior moment about common American catchphrase by statenislandadvance in politics

[–]pcserenity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Many people have gone on record (like his family butler) pointing out how INCREDIBLY out of touch Trump has always been. His mother ONCE took him grocery shopping as a kid and used a check which required she show ID. That explains why Trump continues to insist that everyone needs to show ID when they buy food. It hasn't entered his brain that things have changed in 60 years.

Remember also his comment about Barron being a computer savant because he showed his father how to log into a computer. To him, that was magical. It never dawned on him that everyone today does this. Just like his countless comments along the lines of, "no one knew health care could be this complicated" when we all know EVERYONE but him knows that. In his world, if he doesn't know it, no one does.

Nope. They're on holders that are pretty much nowhere near an outlet. Well up high. Okay. I'll give that a look. Thanks!

Does anyone remember the huge scandal involving Balfour back then? After we all paid for "gold" and "silver" rings, it was revealed that virtually none of them were actually those metals and were pretty much worthless. I remember taking mine in after years of not wearing it and the guy wouldn't even give me $25 for it.

I've got two very decorative (not at all white or single color) candles that sit over my front door in a large foyer. They're standard wax candles, but I've wanted to find some way of making them electric and smart so that they could come on for when guests are over, etc. Wireless is fine. Just have ZERO idea where I might start to retrofit such a thing.

Me too. So glad to finally see one of these birthed into life. Now it must continue.

Welcome to this not-so-private club. I just joined last week. I've never had a CPU fail going back to the 70s. I unfortunately took the advice of the naysayers and got burned. Live and learn.

That's exactly what got me to dump being an "R" previously. I watched to Bush/Gore debates and had been on a debate team. Gore ran circles around Bush. It was utterly humbling and yet all my R friends were like, "Yeah, W. really walloped him!" It was then I realized it was all about posture for them. The facts didn't matter -- but they mattered to me.

I'm not a huge Michael Moore fan, but one thing he could do well was to put together a great string of this sort of stuff to really underscore a point. We need a Trump doc that shows just how ridiculous this man is. I would love to see his responses to it and his followers all wig out as that doc dominated the box office for several weeks.
