  1. WTF Blip? So dumb. So, so dumb. I think Slammo v Double Tap may have been the singularly most boring "fight" ever televised in Battlebots. Both teams should have had negative scores from the judges and tossed from the event. I did enjoy the main event. I'm off to print my brackets now...
  2. @Jerry Callo beat me to it. Being John Malkovich was a bit of a trip, but quite entertaining.
  3. I feel the same way about George Lopez, but I watched Spare Parts long ago and enjoyed it.

  7. We tried to watch St. Vincent with Bill Murray as a hard drinking, gambling, whoring veteran who bonds with a kid that moves in next door. The movie was pretty good, if predictable, for what we saw, but our Blu-ray disc was scratched and kept freezing and jumping so we turned it off. I'll finish watching it some day when I find it streaming for "free" (on a service I am subscribed to).
  8. That's an impressive amount of yellow in the SE corner.
  9. @Rudy Rutabaga - looks like we guessed the same word on guess #3.

  16. Lucky v Cobalt could be a fun match. Blip v Banshee features two struggling flipper bots. Tantrum v Whiplash features two bots that have had success historically, but they have both underperformed my expectations this season. Main event could be spicy. ~~~ Anyone printing brackets tonight after the reveal?

  21. Both have 1 toz of gold, but Eagles have some silver and copper too to make them more durable. The alloy changes the color of the coin slightly. Both have liquid resale markets, so IMO, you can't go wrong with either one.
  22. When Robert Duvall hosted Saturday Night Live back in the day, they did a game show skit called Who's More Grizzled. I really haven't been able to watch Duvall in a movie since because I always remember that damn skit when I see him and I lose my immersion.
  23. From Ruchir Sharma, chair of Rockefeller International via Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/e9c78b99-8a29-47e2-b5bf-9f7542608cf6 h/t (no paywall): https://gata.org/node/22596 ~~~ https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/rbz-introduces-gold-backed-digital-currency Need more details, but it sounds like they are trying to make it easier for (poor) people to buy/use small/fractional bits of gold.
