  1. Taking the family to Italy this summer. Me, Mrs, and the boys (15 and 8). My thought after reading the first page of this thread and a few travel blogs I enjoy is to fly into Milan, rent a car, and road trip south, flying home from Rome. 10 nights. I haven't been to Italy since 2005 and reading just the first page of this thread has me feeling overwhelmed. There isn't a small countryside city I wouldn't want to explore, an amazing restaurant I wouldn't want to eat at, or a church or museum I wouldn't go inside and look at. So, I have to make a detailed trip plan so we don't muck things up. I have Rome covered and this thread seems to have a ton about Rome. But everything before those last 3 days is up in the air. I am I making a good or bad choice to consider renting a car and driving rather than train? I do plan to read all 30 pages of this thread and take some notes.
  2. This is easily one of the most common posts on this thread (not complaining). But why do so many women think this is a logical approach to heating a house quicker. Do they think it's like adding more logs to a fire to burn bigger and it will heat more/faster if we demand more? Yup. 65 here in our house. 62 at night.
  3. ***meant to edit my last post, not post again*** I've reached the point of not giving a fuck. Born '83. Some of my best childhood memories are Cowboy victories, Superbowls, and Thanksgiving turkey shared with family at tailgates in the Texas Stadium parking lot. But fuck 'em. I'm done. My 14 year old son tapped out after this year and so have I. I will cheer for them, but I won't give a fuck win or lose.
  4. Yes, if the timeline Mark has in his head is correct Gemma's only been dead a couple of years, so Huang presumably is not his daughter. Also regarding the theory of Helena being the one in the office... I thought that too. Something in the first few minutes of the episode tipped me off - can't remembner right now. I'll have to go back tonight and rewatch and put it here.
  5. She's got it for sure. 0:33 in this video when she's walking out, "praise kier." The attitude and sarcasm mixed with her good looks. Yes, please.

    Yeah... that line was... it was something. lol. With regards to being critical of the details: Imagine getting worked up over "The Office" because it doesn't accurately depict what cubicle life is like and how the boss (and employees) get away with doing and saying ridiculous shit. It's a show. Enjoy it for what it is. Or don't watch. Whatever.
  7. Fuck ohio the state, the university, all of it. Fuck the dot on the i. fuck jim tressel, woody haytes, and especially urban meyer. a state that truly is not worth shitting on. Fuck these fucks. Alright, there's my moment of ohio hatred. Good luck.
  8. I said what I said. I like his post because it addressed the fact that two defensive penalties wiped out two Pedo turnovers, and those both directly led to points for them. It sucked. Pretty minor thing to nitpick.
  9. First one was not one I'd spend energy arguing over with the refs or a PSU fan. Perhaps that ass QB saw the flag being thrown and knew he had a free shot. It was a fucking terrible and under-thrown ball which is why it was picked so easy.
  10. Doesn't make a shit that he didn't look. He didn't make contact that affected the receiver. So, there's that.
  11. Not this fuckin one, that's for sure. Was so pissed at this moment.
  12. Anyone got the stadium/jumbotron pic? Friends of mine at the gamewatch last night didn't believe Shaggy made this happen back in the day.
  13. Well, that was something. Just got home from watching with some buddies. Holy shit. One more semi-final to go.
  14. Isn't there also something with all the products Selvig is offering Mark have to do with healthy sleep? Chamomile cookies (yuck), Lavendar tea, mogwart bath bomb.
  15. Devil's Bath was good, thanks for the rec. I also watched two others since the weekend that were just bleak as fuck. Goodnight Mommy (2022) - that was one of the better executed twists in a movie and just ends with a gut punch. The Lodge - holy fuck. So well done it just left me with a 1,000 yd stare for a good while after it was over.
  16. Halfway through a re-watch before S2. I think my wife and I have more questions than we did watching it the first time - just picking up on more and more details.

    Another ridiculously unbelievable thing from the last episode: Aynsley was perplexed at what a nursing home was like she'd never seen one before, and then equally befuddled at the bleak nature of those facilities. Interaction with the olds was good for some humorous lines, though.
  18. Reminds me in some ways of Bob Sanders - college at Iowa, short 6 year NFL career with Colts.
  19. I can't find it on youtube or aggypedia... does anyone have a link to the aggy war hymn parody with the odd dude's voice and then all the pictures of the corps and weird aggy shit? I can find the video on youtube with just the dude singing but no videos with the images. Anyone remember that or know where to find it?
  20. I'm awake, alive, and about to start smoking the first of two turkeys today to take back to South Bend to the in-laws for Christmas. The energy was electric. The temps weren't as bad once you got in the stadium. There's a collective solace in everyone in non-student seating being all bundled up, basically leaning against the people behind and next to you (and the people in front of you on your knees) creates some kind of cocoon of warmth. Until the next big play and everyone is on their feet and yelling. The national anthem was cool - everyone singing along. The game was dominant until the end when we went into prevent D and gave up stupid points. Just stay in base D for fucks sake. To haters and doubters on here - Jan 1 is when we fall flat on our face or show whether we can topple one of the best in the nation. Rylie Milles (99 on D) will be a big factor for that game - whether that knee of his was just hurting last night or it was injured. Really, really hope he's ok. I am so glad I could sleep at my in-laws house last night. We sat and drank in the parking lot for quite a while as traffic dispursed. That was the best home tailgating/pregame environment I've ever been part of there. Got dropped off at in-laws in the early hours of the morning. Slept it off, drove back to Indy, and will head back to SB on Monday. IU, as many expected, was a fraud. But I do hope they get better and stay good/decent. Cig is a blowhard but he's better for college football than milquetoast coaches. I cheered for him every game this year except last night. Then, he just became some obnoxious douche. Now, he's just harmless little brother again. I'm just gonna enjoy the W, the experience, and hope that the W's keep coming and we see y'all on Jan 20. The older I get and the more friends/family I've said goodbye to the more I realize life is so much bigger than what color or letters you wear on your shirt. Go Irish. Hook Em.
  21. It is cold as fuck. I can barely get my fingers or phone to work. Need to put my gloves back on so the beer and the cold don't freeze my fingers. I am heading in the stadium soon. The players walk from Mass to the stadium in the dark in the midst of college gameday and all the fans was unlike anything I've experienced here in 20 years of attending games. See y'all on the other side and hopefully see you gents on January 20. Go Irish and Hook Em! FUCK IU.
