    Family Games

    Jackbox is great and the use of phones makes it easy to play. I'd recommend it the most if you're playing with all adults or mainly kids, but it gets kind of awkward with too many adults and kids at the same time. Lots of innuendos and what have yous...
  2. Cheryl Hines married that voice.

    Left center right is always fun for about an hour, people need to bring $3 cash per game. The more people the longer it takes and the more fun. Kids can play too if you're ok with the gambling part of it. It's basically a game of chance. We play exploding kittens a lot, that's one that is more kid oriented but still fun. Trivial Pursuit is still the gold standard of adult trivia games imo. They have multiple versions but genius edition is the hardest and most fun imo.
  4. How do you get up every day as a 28 year old and say this shit with a straight face?
  5. Happened this morning when I clicked into the basketball forum and shut off pretty quick when I clicked on a post. I'm starting to recognize the opening drums 😂
  6. WTF?!??! Newt Gingrich is still alive?!?
  7. The ones today pretty sure were in the daily Texan, but could've been cloak room. I figured the ad was being hidden, but somehow the audio was breaking through. Really odd.
  8. The weird thing is the first handful of times it happened it shut off pretty quickly on its own, but today it happened twice and played the full ad. It’s happened probably 8-10 times over the last couple weeks. I assume it’s the same ad each time. Only here and only on my phone, not my iPad.
  9. Is anyone else having a problem with a Dallas zoo light ad auto playing? There is no video or ad on the page, but it'll just start playing and my iPhone will show the little vocal box at top showing sound is playing.
  10. I started to watch Spinal Tap 2 last night and was watching Rob Reiner use a rack of films to hold himself up and thought about how old he must be, but it still kind of surprised me and made me a little sad that all the old greats are really old and I’m getting old too. I ended up turning it off to watch something else, it was late and decided I didn’t want to likely fall asleep to a movie I wanted to see. Seeing this news this morning was a shock to say the least.
  11. 17-6 now 4 minutes to go in the 2nd
  12. Center celebrates knowing they have to kneel down at least two more times. Dumbass. Coaches having the QB are kneel downs in shotgun formation. Dumbasses. Punter chokes and shanks it, wasn’t blocked at all announcers. Dumbasses. So many things went wrong, it being New Orleans, I suspect voodoo was involved.
  13. Brisket after eating gizzards:
  14. They’ve made the cheese so shitty over the years it doesn’t brown at all anymore, it’s when I finally stopped buying them. I think it’s when the switched to plastic bags from the boxes with the shitty shrink wrap on the pizza inside the box. I recently tried them for the first time, and the chicken fry batter on them was great and seemed more flavorful than the tenders or chicken there, but I did have to wait for them to make them fresh so that could’ve been it too. The thing you have to prepare for is how chewy the gizzards are. Some are chewy, some are really chewy. They started to get even chewier as they cooled and I think I finally quit eating them around 6-7 gizzards into the 9. Pulled as much breading off I could and called it a day.
  15. The funny part besides her accent, is this book has lots of illustrations to go along with the text, and she didn’t show the kids any of the pictures while reading.
  16. She definitely hasn't improved at all since the first term. 30 years in America and she still sounds that bad.
  17. You can make firecracker crackers with Cheeze-Its.
  18. Yeah, I should have mentioned the shift to the docks and new characters that are tough to tie in initially to season 1, but it gets better and makes more sense by the end. I thought season 2 was out of place at first as well.
  19. The wire season 1 is about the streets of Baltimore, if you’re not intrigued by that premise you’ll never get into it to start. It’s a follow up to The Corners miniseries that aired on network tv by David Simon a few years prior. It’s got the cops and other parts, but season 1 is the streets. Season 2 departs heavily from that and lost a lot of viewers expecting more of season 1, but it makes sense by the end of season 2 and ties it back in. Seasons 3,4,5 explore other parts of the system tying it all together with those early storylines. You have to watch it all to truly appreciate the full storyline. Also you have to acknowledge you might not relate to many of the characters motives and struggles.
  20. The Big Lebowski is great the first time and then you watch it a bunch to catch things you missed, but also get bored at times when certain parts drag on. True Romance is overrated but worth a watch for the references it put into pop culture. Django Unchained is an all timer for combing that uncomfortable subject matter with extreme violence. I’d watch it and the gift Lebowski multiple times before True Romance.
