  1. Wow, 5 months. They look good. Did you feel like a kid at Christmas when they came back? Well I do right now, just got all my power steering parts back from the rebuilder. I even ripped open the boxes to get at them. Happy days.
  2. yes to above. I always really liked the whole ending : When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown the dream is gone I have become comfortably numb
  3. I have an engineer inlaw at Boeing that is doing the part time MBA right now. He said it was necessary to give him the opportunity to move up, or move around, the company. He said they were assisting financially, but can't recall the percentage. I bolded the part that seems very odd. Why is that? Seems as if your current employer actually cared about your education, and the benefit you might bring to the company in the future, they wouldn't care. Hell, they'd probably even give preferential treatment to non-profit. I would get it. It's not the curriculum that will necessarily help - though depending on your profs, could - but more for HR departments. Many jobs have a check box for post grad studies, and doing it part time, while working, shows you're serious about your career. You obviously don't want to get ceilinged at a relatively young age, so get it and open up whatever possibilities that might exist.
  4. Lynda Carter yes please
  5. Just to change it up a bit, behold Saturday morning
  6. This show always freaked me out.
  7. Biden is absolutely running. Can't remember the title of the book I read about the '88 election, but for some odd reason I specifically remember a quote by Biden. He was moaning about his blue collar background, how he thought it was holding him back from getting the right donors, catching on with the right message, etc. "There's a river of power that runs this country, and that river runs right through the Ivy League." Dude is from Scranton and has a chip on his shoulder. Yeah, he's running and looking forward to a fight with Trump if he can get past the primaries.
  8. Me and a buddy wasted time at work today sending each other old TV show clips, laughing our asses off. We only scratched the surface so I thought a thread would bring out the good stuff. I game him Mannix and he countered with "Dan August". Never saw that show, only on one year, a rare Quinn Martin miss.
  9. skimming through this thread reminded me of
  10. Better than Ass, the screenplay.
  11. As a huge Marvel comics fan as a kid, it blows me away how important he is to current movie culture. I've forgotten some of what I originally read, but it's fun to have conversations with my kids about how the characters in the movies compare to the original comics, story arcs, etc. In retrospect Stan Lee's imagination and creativity is colossal. He created a universe of characters, using different artists, and sold them for 12-25 cents at 7-11 or Circle K. I'm glad he was able to see his work turn into a powerhouse.
  12. I liked it also, but expected more. He had something special with the actors and the setting, just couldn't deliver anything other then okay. Did they ever say how the Hays's wife dies? I hated that character and fast forwarded past almost every dumb, needlessly time consuming conversation she had with Ali.
  13. He was a dumbshit but I *kind of* feel sorry for him. There has to be a false sense of power that comes with having -or making up- information people will actually pay for. And if that info is for a bunch of delusional dumbfucks, even better. He got a taste of that power, liked it too much, got cocky, and let it fuck up his life. I enjoyed watching the car crash, but now that it's over I hope he regroups and moves on. That reminds me wasn't he supposed to be on a podcast? And what happened to the podcasts? I thought they were pretty entertaining.
  14. I don't understand the WalMart fashion commercials. So they fashion the crew servicing the extras? And that is marketable how, to the people who work in Hollywood that have no exposure to WalMart, or the people in WalMart country that hate Hollywood? Maybe they're trying to get in with the Hollywood clothing services by undercutting the competition? Bizarre.
  15. I forgot to add he's an imbecile and a danger to our country. Too late to edit.
  16. He's a real estate guy and thinks the MOU is the same as an LOI. A Letter of Intent is done all the time and broken all the time, depending on the wording. I've always been instructed to assume an LOI is binding due to *the possibility* the other side might litigate. Since he likes to litigate he thinks the MOU, like his LOI's, are shit.
  17. Are we sure about that, or did he just suck in college? He had a decent supporting cast that should have offset 5 INT against KS and throwing into triple coverage about a thousand times against BYU the following year to earn him the bench. I agree he was thrown to the wolves against AL, but after that he was clearly "the guy" and had plenty of time to prepare for prime time. You could be right and Mack may have fucked him up mentally, as he did the rest of the program, but who really knows. I just saw a QB that made poor reads countless times, despite having limitless physical tools. That said, I'm glad he's winning and hope he makes it back to the NFL.
  18. And this I didn't see in the Cult songs posted earlier. Irregardless, you can thank me later.
  19. This should be in here as well
  20. Glad this was bumped, first time seeing it. The Cult and Talk Talk already covered, so I submit: And
