  1. Kuminga sighting.
  2. They did a terrible job casting Abbey. In the video game she was a 6 ft 7 black man.
  3. Beasley is hilarious.
  4. Fair. I got hooked into the show with the intro in the pilot and then bought the game because I was liking the show. I actually stopped playing the game because it was spoiler tagging the show. She does look like a potato. But I think she's a pretty good actor and liked her in Thrones, too.
  5. But can you please elaborate? Is there really a crowd of Joel worshippers out there, even after his murderous rampage of innocent people who were trying to save humanity? All because Ellie has a forehead that you could fit an aircraft carrier on?
  6. Brunson is painful to watch with his whistle hunting on every single action. It is obvious that they are trying to play into Detroit's physical rep and get some beneficial calls. Not very pleasant basketball to watch. I thought JBB made a nice adjustment putting Tobias into KAT to keep Duren in the game with Stew out. Game 3 at LCA should be fun, wish I could go. Why do my weiner kids have so many damn after school activities that require me to drive them everywhere and spend stupid money on them.
  7. No Beef Stew for Detroit. How fast will Duren foul out? Halftime?
  8. I'll be that guy. I like Ellie and fuck Joel. You expect her to kiss his ass for 'saving' her? She knows.
  9. One thing that I can testify to is that you should hang out with them now instead of your me time. In a few years they won't want to hang out with you all the time anymore, even if you're not an asshole. We still hang out sometimes, sure, but there's nothing like those early years. When they hit middle school childhood might as well be over. The pre/teen years hit a little different.
  10. First you must procure Scentsy. Then you can barter the Scentsy for reactions.
  11. The tracker says there are 100 votes and they have about 1/3 of them in the house. SGA is at 19 first place votes vs 11 for Joker. The cumulative points are closer but it still appears that this one is going to go to SGA. Other early observations with fewer votes counted - looks like DPOY is going to be Mobley. COTY and 6th man are runaways for Atkinson and Pritchard. ROY landslide Castle. MIP is Dyson Daniels with Zubac close behind. Cade Cunningham distant 3rd. All NBA is damn near unanimous with the top 4 (not even going to bother to list) and looks like Mitchell will probably take the 5th spot. 2nd team still fluid but looks like it will have Bron and Ant for sure and probably some combo of Steph, Cade, Mobley, Brunson or KAT.
  12. Counterpoint: this current challenge
  13. Thank you. That is at least somewhat reassuring. I guess I should not plan on any 3 margarita lunches and letting the wife DD. The policia would actually be indebted to me for getting behind the wheel smashed rather than unleashing her to wreak havoc on their roads.
  14. Thanks again to all. Really excited for this trip. We are doing the first 4 nights on IM at Ixchel which looks perfect for us, and the last 3 nights I booked at an Airbnb in Puerto Aventuras. The plan is to check out the cenotes and the ruins. I've re-read the entire thread and it seems like many here have rented cars and had no issues. But given Rod's warning and knowing my luck and not having any Spanish speakers in my party etc I'm pretty leery. I am pretty cautious on a family vacation and don't like putting myself in a position where I may not be in control of the outcome. Should I be second guessing this, this much? What even would be my alternative outside of taxis which also don't always seem to be on the up and up, either. Is it an option to arrange a private transportation service from the ferry to Puerto Aventuras, and another each day to deliver us to a tour departure checkpoint and back, and then again another on the last day to take us back from PA to the airport in Cancun? Seems kind of ridiculous and costly. Or just get the max insurance on a rental and pray I don't get pulled over or into any kind of situation? I will happily pay off a cop if it comes to it but just would prefer to avoid as many unknowns as possible.
  15. Awards tracking spreadsheet is live: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1KMzwRcilLDej0BWl7eYE_OYC9Tx9olI_Ptn-nHjKfpQ/htmlview#
  16. My family could not love this sweet little asshole any more. She's really not an asshole. She just chooses to ignore my commands when she knows I don't have a treat.
  17. Mark Fidrych. I watched a chunk of her interview with Letterman last night. I'm not sure how old it was, I think pretty new. You would have to have something wrong with you or some sort of irrational anger to dislike this person. She just gets it. She goes with the flow, is self depreciating while also confident, is respectful of everyone, and is really smart. Pretty amazing for someone that young. Nothing super compelling other than the thing about the scrimmage against the stand ins but she came across really well, to me at least.
  18. Great info @wood thanks again so much! I just talked to Rod, seemed like a good dude. He said we're going to love it so much that we're going to be bummed we didn't stay the whole week on IM but that staying elsewhere for a few nights is a better plan if we want to see ruins and cenotes. He also strongly cautioned against renting a car. He said if anything happens, it's always going to be the gringos fault. And stuff always happens to me. Just hoping my jinx of a presence doesn't bring the entire peninsula down with some kind of biblical flood or something.
  19. Booked our flights. Waiting for a call from Rod tomorrow to confirm bookings for a 2 bedroom at Ixchel for the first 4 nights. Looks perfect for us. I will look up and down Riviera Maya for the last 3 nights. Is PDC that big of a shithole? Never having seen it I feel like it might be fun to stay in a busier place for a few nights. Also appreciate any specific recs on cenotes or ruins. In general I prefer to do stuff on our own vs a tour, unless that is the way to go. Excited! Thanks everyone.
  20. Good stuff wood thank you! Sounds pretty much up our alley. Kids definitely want to see some cenotes and some ruins. Question, why do you do the mainland stuff on the front end of the trip? I was planning on starting on the island, thinking being I don't want to have to mess with a ferry trying to get to the airport on the day we're leaving.
  21. Don't know if anyone else saw that Jaylen Wells fall in the Grizzlies game but that didn't look good. Got undercut on a dunk attempt and literally fell on his face and was taken off on a stretcher. Hope dude is ok.
  22. They should do the sensible thing and throw a bag at Monty Williams.
  23. Thanks. This is coming together, I think I'm going to book the first 2-3 nights on Mujeres and the next 4-6 in playa. I'm looking at private condo rentals in complexes that are "steps from the beach" and there are some really good options. Quick question imma, when you said I was totally wrong about hotel types, could you explain yourself? I think you're right that we're better off in most cases at a rental vs an all inclusive. But then again I do have a 15 yo who has a daily calorie goal of 4k so it might be worth looking into. I spent some time looking at stuff today and I'm not seeing any AI resorts that offer 2 bed/2 bath rooms in that price range. Most seem to be 1k+ nightly. An AI might be hilarious to witness the damage he could do.
