Frieda’s Boss

Holy cow, this. Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?

Finally got around to watching this. I loved the original NBC shorts and stayed away because I didn’t think that could translate to a series (let alone three seasons). I was so wrong. This series was fantastic. ”I’m trying to build bridges here!” ”You couldn’t build Jeff Bridges.”

Batman Begins is the best movie in Nolan’s Batman trilogy Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino’s best film.

Like a lot of others, Porky’s. Other one I haven’t seen mentioned was Fast Times. I was probably 7 or 8 when I saw that for the first time. Pretty much any horror movie on premium cable. Whoever called out Dark Night of the Scarecrow, wow I had forgotten that one. I don’t remember much about it, but remember not being able to sleep after watching at a friend's house.

The BIG has done a hell of a job of protecting their legacy members. These jackhole refs actually came back and reviewed one in Michigan's favor last week against Washington after the next play had been run. The penalty disparity for the west coast teams is noticeable as well

I heard someone say they should have had the Stranger end up to be Saruman. That would have been great as we see him doing good things and fighting evil, and then we see his corruption later. I get why they made him “Grand Elf” but would have been way better if it was Saruman.

As my kids are now older, I’ve seen fewer of the newer ones so for me, it’s Ratatouille (an amazing movie, not just for an animated one), Incredibles and Wall E. Opening montage in Up is amazing, but the rest of the movie is just ok for me. Toy Stories are fine.

I’m in SoCal (OC) so I’m not sure I’m going to be able to help with specifics on MDs. I will say, we interviewed 4 or 5 and had a lot of questions regarding how many procedures they’ve done, would it be them personally or a fellow, rates of recovery, nerve-sparing process, etc. I knew I didn’t want radiation therapy unless it absolutely looked necessary. From what I understand (by all means, do your research), RT is hard on you and mutates the tissue in the area such that if you do have to go in for a subsequent surgery, then there’s little chance of salvaging anything (particularly nerves) so “function” is highly unlikely and incontinence is highly likely. My thought was the chance for best outcome was surgery first and then RT if necessary. If it can be a help to you or anyone else, I’m happy to share anything here about procedure itself, recovery, lingering effects (“function”, incontinence), things I didn’t expect, etc. So feel free to fire away as questions or concerns arise.

With today’s performance, there are a lot of UDub fans that’ll escort Jedd out of town.

Praying for you JR. I also went radical prostatectomy via da Vinci at 48. Gleason score of 7. My Decipher genomic test came back that I had a more aggressive type so glad we were on it early. 9 months post surgery and I’m pretty well back to normal. Happy to share any of my experience if helpful. Feel free to ask away here or shoot me a DM.

I know the usual suspects on YouTube are crushing this, but I’m enjoying this season. They need to tighten the storylines though. For example, unless Theo ends up being the Witch King, just clip his storyline. Also I’m not sure I need the political intrigue in Numenor either (but I haven’t read anything beyond the Hobbit and LOTR so perhaps it’s super important). Still hoping the Stranger isn’t Gandalf, and this Dark Wizard isn’t somehow Saruman. The one thing that stands out that really bugs me is Galadriel’s overly breathy voice with the rolling of her R’s.

Yeah I hate to bash a Gaucho, but Evans no business being an Olympian. Not new news, but USA Volleyball (or whomever) needs to figure out the qualification process.

Praying for you Gourmand. I was in this spot about a year ago with an elevated PSA (at 48 yo). Did another 30 days later to confirm, then biopsy (not gonna lie, it sucks). From there it was figuring out treatment options and interviewing MDs. I am now ~7 months post prostatectomy. Happy to share my experiences if helpful.

Caught the last 2/3’s if Rushmore early this morning. Love that movie. This may send me on a Wes Anderson binge. “I’ll take punctuality.”

I was in a bikey gang. It was me and my brother Graham and my dad, Gordon. Dad was the leader, Graham found nice places for us to ride to and I was the guy who looked after the bags.
