  1. Summer Highland Falls. Actually saw him play that live. Friggin' awesome. (It was his 'we are not lip-syncing like MilliVanilli' song of that night. The next night it was a far more mainstream song ("Honesty"). Both excellent songs, but hearing the one most people hadn't heard of played live was cooler. Rootbeer Rag was the song he did like that the 1st time I saw him. 1st show back in NYS at the end of a long tour. He was on that night in the Aud.

    They say that these are not the best of times, (but) they're the only times I've ever known.

    ...

     

    our reason coexists with our insanity, though we choose between reality and madness, it's either sadness or euphoria.

    Good stuff. Maybe we was envisioning SabreSpace. "So we'll argue and we'll compromise and realize that nothing's ever changed."

     

    Billy has said the inspiration for that song was, of course, breaking up with someone, but also he had moved upstate a bit from the city and was going a little crazy in the quiet, wide open spaces with the sound of crickets in the air.

  2. Eh, wouldn't killing off Carl really accentuate the show's problems (especially if Glenn is miraculously still alive)? Killing off new or disliked characters viewers have little emotional attachment to has been the show's modus operandi for awhile now. Meanwhile, the popular ones survive seemingly impossible odds all the time. I caught up on the show by binge watching Netflix, but there seems to be no sense of suspense or drama anymore because I just assume everybody important will survive. It's a problem...maybe it's mine, but I think it's the show's.

    Killing Carl would be the opposite of that problem.

  3. Therein lies the rub, expectations were WAY too high coming into this season.  GMTM set the bar above head level with all his moves and fans interpreted it as the team being good.  It will be, chemistry needs to develop and the D and G need to emerge.  Possibly not this season. 

    I choose my words carefully. Everything goes through my attorney first. Reasonably higher than *this*... 2-7 with one or two goals a game.

  4. Chamomile and a boxcutter? 

     

    or 

     

    Rooibos and razor? 

    You're a tea man, right? I like it, but I've always bought the crummy, cheap store brand. 400 bags for 11 cents. Last time I went for the Bigelow Earl Grey. Pretty big difference. It comes in sealed packets and smells great. Must be the real oil of bergamot from Calabria.

  5. I don't think it's an insult per se. I generally think of older women as handsome.  For instance, I watched Return of the Jedi last night and this is a handsome woman:

    That's not you, you're just normal boring hot.

    OKAY I WANTED TO WRESTLE HER FOR IT I DIDN'T HAVE TO

    Because you had crushed up an extra sleeping pill in her applesauce and she had passed out?

  6. Reminder: the NHL doesn't allow diagonal angles for goal reviews in situations like that. The "parallax angle" comes into play.

     

    With that said: it was a goal. The ref actually called it a goal initially but then skated over towards the reply booth and said he "wasn't sure" so it was no goal on the ice. Review didn't have good angles. There's a photo of the puck completely over the line but no way for the refs to have a photographers photo during the replay.

    What's the parallax angle? And is there a link to the photo?

     

    In situations like this where there isn't a definitive call on the ice, are we OK with using a different standard? Instead of incontrovertible evidence, merely preponderance of evidence or something? In other words, let Toronto make the call as if they're the ref. What was more likely than not to have happened?

  7. Didn't watch the ep but through the twitterverse, heard what happened. I'm all for losing main characters, early and often. It's the walking freaking dead not Gilligan's island.

    ha! That was one of the first things I heard from the devotees of the comics -- don't get attached to anyone! The show has let me down in this regard. Next to go: Carl. Totally useless character at this point.
