  1. The Cow Palace.
  2. I enjoyed the Krakow area - the city was ok but Wielczka (Salt Mine) and Auschwitz are game changers. Never been to Odessa but if you're looking for something out of the way, try Ljubljana and Bled (Slovenia), it's a beautiful and peaceful place.
  3. Now if only Rothfuss would publish his third book, he's been sitting on it, er rewriting it for years.
  4. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! (agreed).
  5. Damn you Greta Van Fleet, I am old geezer in denial and yet still listening to your entire catalog!!!!!!!!!!
  6. I've got my fingers crossed it is Austin - I want my property value to skyrocket so I can sell out and GTFO (Allergies are getting worse and worse every year). TBH, I am pretty much convinced it's the DC area.
  7. I have 3x lots up in the Redoubt, 2x 20ac and 1x 3ac. I was worried my wife would rebel but after visiting the lots she doesn't want to wait 5 years, she wants to move now.
  8. I'm with you Rage - I think it's fine to keep the ball rolling (pick up where we left off).
  9. As I'm sure many of you know, Weird Tales was the pulp fiction periodical where many early fantasy, horror and science fiction works were published. H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard (Cimmeria was based on the foothills around Fredericksburg), Seabury Quinn, etc. were first brought to the American public's awareness by this magazine despite it's financial troubles. I've greatly missed hearing recommendations from the old site and comparing thoughts to the books they're read in this genre, so here goes at trying to keep the ball rolling. I think it was Rage who gave me the recco to try this series: I'm enjoying it so far but it hasn't hit me with plot twists or extraordinary intrigue (like ASoIF or Kingkiller) - does it ramp up a bit in the following books? Also, the last Irondruid is now released and in my reading queue - looking forward to seeing how Hearne closes that series.
  10. Wait, poll is invalid - no OP FOAD/DIAF option. Rules.
  11. Either you bring 'em up to speed or the internets will:
  12. I just wrote this to another Shagster who PM'd me for rec's:
  13. +1, though, to be fair I'm still playing WoW.
  14. But whining is? /rimshot
  15. Team Galaxy Tab E.
  16. One of my favorite threads to check recently at the old site. Looks like Amazon is flying it's folks from city to city - do we have a flight tracker request available? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/02/amazon-hq2-visits-heres-what-executives-are-asking-about.html
  17. Anytime I see Knopp0e post one of those oversized & incessant realignment posts I'm going to want him/her/it banned. While I respect anyone freely stating their opinions in an open environment, that guy takes a four year old mentality of screaming what he wants again and again like he's trying to bludgeon us into conforming to his position. While not disrespectful on a verbiage level it's still abusive by method.
  18. Dillo or Waterloo.
  19. Another vote for the TLC.
  20. Absolutely glorious memories of drunken evenings spent here.
  21. Full double with cheese, add mayo, on Texas Toast. Rings (large) with mustard. DP, lite-ice. Lemon Pie. Dammit, now I'm hungry and it's 6am.
  22. Ubiquitous response is
  23. A good rendition of the National Anthem - every single time. The Wife will come in from other rooms to look at me, not the TV.
  24. Ahem, as a former resident of Prague (and a Shag news video poster foreign correspondent) I can definitely offer insight if desired.
