I don't know if I'll ever be a true hopdhead, but I am enjoying IPAs to the point of buying their multipack today. I never would have done this until about 6 months ago.
At that point we absolutely knew what it was, thus, the exit. I deliberately don't read up on movies in which I am interested. Basically knew the stars and the RT rating and that's it. Yes, there's a bit of risk there in the cost of a movie ticket. Not the end of the world.
Also;
I LOLed at Sean Penn's pipe for a boner and how everyone is just super hot for an otherwise average chick. Just can't control themselves.
Nailed it.
Wife and I went this morning. We lasted 15 minutes into the actual film, and bailed.
We were guilty of exactly your notion. Saw Leo and Benicio in the trailer and wanted to see it. 96% on RT. Should have read up on it more. Just not our thing.
Games in DFW and H-town both are heavy Tech draws. That's where the fucking jobs are. I think it was CJM saying he expected a 50-50 crowd at UH. It might not be quite that high, but it'll be plenty.
I was just sharing information. They have no more authority than you do, but just the common background as veterans. You can kill the messenger all you want, but the substance is still there. Many many people would disagree with your earlier post WRT wearing images of the flag.
I believe we had a similar discussion back before the Army Navy game, when somebody on here thought they had a gotcha moment towards the academies for their use of the flag on the uniform. Yeah. Not so much.
Actual flag vs. flag-themed apparel
Most flag etiquette organizations and legal experts draw a clear line between wearing a physical flag and wearing clothing with a flag's likeness.
Wearing a physical flag: Draping an actual flag over your shoulders or using it as a cape is considered disrespectful by most Americans and violates the Flag Code.
Wearing flag-themed clothing: Items like t-shirts, shorts, or hats that feature the stars and stripes pattern are acceptable to many. The American Legion states that unless an item is made from an actual flag, wearing flag-themed apparel is not a breach of flag etiquette but an expression of patriotism.
Our insurance doubled the deductible for fire/ wind/ hail. If you ain't johnny on the spot, you weren't even gonna notice the change.
