  1. Not to mention being overhyped to the extreme. The athletes’ profiles and interviews are nauseatingly dramatized, as if we’re all watching The Young and The Restless. Man, I miss Jim McKay! As an aside, I have a really sick feeling in my stomach that Japan will be reeling financially from the Summer Olympics for years to come since they didn’t allow spectators at any of their events.
  2. Not just once, but twice. I remember when @inkmanvoiced his opposition to Beijing hosting the Summer Olympics back in 2008.
  3. And some of us here know this all too well. Hits too close to home.
  4. Disclaimer: an observation, not political. From everything I’ve seen in the news over the years and the seemingly cordial relations that Russia and the PRC have had over the years, Ovi and his fellow Russians will more than likely want to be there. The North Americans, maybe not so much. (If the staff do think that this post is political, do as you see fit.)
  5. Not trying to get political, but I see how the NHL decided to make a move on this since the US, Australia, and the UK announced that they were not sending diplomatic representatives to Beijing for the Winter Olympics. As for what the CCP is doing to the Uyghurs, it is absolutely unconscionable.
  6. I’ve been wondering the same thing. I hope he’s ok. I’ve known him for his dark humor in the past, but this is different- and not in a good way. Inky, I’m no mental health professional, but you do have me concerned that you may be suffering from depression.
  7. A doctor who smokes, drinks, and tokes? Who knew?
  8. I forgot to mention that I need to stay off social media as much as possible. I’ve already been upset enough over the adult fairy tales being spread on there in the form of conspiracy theories. I don’t need to shorten my lifespan by engaging in arguments with idiots who live in denial over the virus/mask/vaccine. As soon as I get a negative test, I’m getting the booster shot.
  9. So, I came down with what I thought were symptoms of a sinus infection on Saturday. I set up an appointment with my doctor for telemed. I ran through my symptoms with him, and then he offered to have me do the COVID test. At first, I thought Nah, but I made a snap decision to get it done. Next thing I know, less than 15 minutes later after the test, I get the call that I tested positive for COVID-19. I can’t begin to express my level of anger over this. I’ve done everything I could to avoid getting it and passing it on to others. I’ve been vaccinated. In fact, I had a booster shot scheduled for today, but I had to cancel since I was having these symptoms. And yet, there are those people who just don’t GAF. The silver lining is that I can and will follow doctor’s orders. Until then, I have to weather the storm and stay home.
  10. Dude, chill! Not sure what’s going on in your head right now, but you don’t seem to be the same inky from years past. Hopefully, everything is going well in Inky house. Having said that, here’s my observation from Monday night: the rest of their regular season games are must wins. Period. Otherwise, they might as well get ready for the next season and take out the garbage before next August.
  11. If only that happened against the Leafs. Again.
  12. We’re talking a trucker’s salary, so anything above 250-300 is really pushing it. Having said that, this is not a panic move, so we have some time to sort things out. I just want to make sure that the whole transition is as painless as possible. Plus, we have no desire to live near the Trailer Park Boys. We would certainly like to spend more time in an active cultural scene. As for political climate, I’m not anywhere near as worried and obsessed with it as much as I was in the past.
  13. I’ve driven through Mathews a few times. It seemed all right. We’ll look into it. My wife and I thank you for the tip.
  14. My wife has cold-induced asthma. Coming back home is a no-go.
  15. Does that include staying within NC state lines, or possibly crossing over into the SC suburbs near the 485?
  16. So, my wife and I have made a decision to move out of Virginia down to the Charlotte area sometime next year. A lot of factors came into play, and we hashed out these things before making such a crucial decision. We had considered other metro areas, but we ultimately settled for this. I know that some SS members have either lived in Charlotte in the past, or are still there. What areas would you guys recommend for affordable and safe places to live? Areas like Lake Norman are out of the question since there’s absolutely no way we could afford to live there. It doesn’t have to be city proper. We could even consider Concord or Kannapolis. We just don’t want to live where we would not feel safe, and I want to minimize commuting distance as much as possible. Also, if there are other things that we need to know about that I haven’t thought about, feel free to pass it on. Just don’t recommend Elevation church to me whatsoever.
  17. That should tip the Brady Bunch game much more in our favor.
  18. How many more times will she be seen wearing Cannibal Corpse T-shirts? Will they play ****** With A Knife at the reception? As for that video, the motif behind it reminded me of this:
  19. We did have one. His last name was also Kane. Nice attempt at a backhanded post.
  20. I said earlier that this game had me worried before it started. Having some key people out on the o-line didn’t help. Plus, JAX had nothing to lose. So, this loss doesn’t surprise me at all. I had a feeling that we were due to be upset. Having said that, there’s something else I haven’t seen anyone bring up about our losses so far this season: on paper, they’ve all been close games. We can’t be expected to do blowouts against opposing teams as if we’re the Alabama Crimson Tide. On to next week, when we take on the New Jersey Denmarks (h/t William Shakespeare).
  21. Stranger things have happened.
  22. This game against the Jags has me really concerned. A part of our O-Line is snakebitten, and the Jags have nothing to lose at this point. They won’t make the playoffs this year, but they have the potential to shake up the playoff picture and embarrass a contender.
  23. @Hoss, you’re better than this. I normally don’t see you post a doozy. But, oh, man. This one reeks. Totally agree. KO is insufferable. There’s no other way for me to describe him. I bet he was eating crow for the main course and humble pie just for desserts. 😁
