  1. I loved it. But yeah Eddie disappearing was sort of odd. I predicted a couple shows ago that I thought it was setting up for a Harry/Phina alliance vs a Maeve/Eddie alliance. Seems likely but I'm not sure how Kevin (and Conrad for that matter) fit into that picture. What happens with Colin is also going to be interesting. I like this show a lot, it's very fun. It has tons of plot holes and huge leaps and stuff but who cares. It's really fun and Harry is really easy to root for as a bad ass.
  2. How did they turn out? Can you cook them medium rare? Might be an economically prudent way to help Jr hit his calorie and protein goals.

  4. Generally not a fan. They became a business partner recently and I spent a week at their HQ for meetings. They have a McCafe on the 3rd floor and it's a damn free for all, including Krispy Kremes. In addition every morning in the meeting room they would pass the phone around for everyone to order what they wanted, big breakfasts on down. I didn't partake but I was pretty fucking jealous watching my co workers house sausage biscuits with eggs and McGriddles and damn if the first thing I didn't do once I got home was go pick up some McDonald's breakfast. Also got a pretty cool tour of their archives.
  5. I do. First you have to kind of online stalk someone, find out who they are, where they work, address, etc. Then you start stealing their mail occasionally, so you can see what kind of financial situation they are in. Are they getting credit card offers, loan consolidation offers, etc. I'll PM you next steps, don't want to completely give away the goods publicly.
  6. I'm not going to stop watching it. I enjoyed a lot of this season, but did not like the finale at all and don't like the direction things are heading, and that is before I found out the first 3 episodes of S3 are going to be from Abby's perspective. This show is clearly not following a typical roadmap and following the video game and it's cool and interesting to do things in an unorthodox style every once in awhile. We don't need to have a straightforward linear plot with clear protagonists and antagonists. That said I really am starting to feel a bit lost with the way Ellie has been portrayed and the interjecting of other random characters who within two episodes of being introduced are now making you wonder if they are the new main character. I'm a child of the 80s so I definitely skew to the side of having a plot arc of good vs bad and good wins but at this point I would love to see the series end in this fashion. Ellie stops acting like a dumbass 10 year old and bosses up. She kills Abby or doesn't, I don't really care. The WLFs and the Scars kill each other I don't care. Dina dies or doesn't, I don't care. Dina's baby carries immunity/the cure. Ellie and Tommy team up and kill the zombies. Party in Jackson Hole. I do not need 3 episodes in the mind of Abby, a character who seems like she was invented halfway through this season. Whatever, we'll see where it goes in 2042 when the next season airs and we can all complain about why Ellie aged 24 years in 17 years.
  7. This is what I picked up, too. Another thing that caught my eye was at the very end in the penultimate scene it shows Colin staring towards what seems like the house as Seraphina stares out of the house. Made it seem like they were looking at each other. Another possible rat? Are we just playing one big game of Clue? It's definitely an interesting ride.
  8. Non gamer. I'm just making guesses based on what we saw and some of the after show stuff.
  9. She didn't kill Ellie because there wouldn't still be a show. Abby has come to command the 7 kingdoms. Isaac and the other girl are dead after they invaded the Scars, as he predicted. I'm not sure on what technically Ellie survived (and likely so did Tommy) but they did. So is your starting point for Season 3. Not great writing or directing Bob.
  10. Who is the cheese dick sitting court side behind Carlisle in full Indy car suit complete with helmet on the floor?

    Getting old sucks

    Had the scope yesterday. By midnight I was getting around and doing stairs without crutches. Today I did the after school pickups and the stairs 3-4x. I might have done too much. It definitely hurts worse tonight than it did last night. The swelling. 😂
  12. Yep I am thinking the same. WTF did I just watch last night? That was the craziest shot since Kawhi over Joel. What an effing game.
  13. This is fucking nuts.
  14. @Prepuce of Doom to answer your question, though, no, in my experience the stream from a plug in toilet will not be as strong as the water pressure stream from a $30 model unless thestand-alones/smart toilets have some significant jet motor powered internals that the add ons do not have. I've had a few of the expensive ones, even returned one that wasn't powerful enough. I did some research and the plug in add on model with the strongest stream is the Bio Bidet 2000. It is what I currently use in my own bathroom. It has an enema mode which is quite a bit stronger than any of the other add on models I've used and I like it a lot but it is still not as powerful as the $30 water pressure model when you crank it all the way up. The warm seat and water have grown on me as have the awesome neon lights, remote and cool beeps. It has a built in fan which is nice but I find the heated blower pretty useless but maybe that's because I'm blasting my ass and taint with enema mode.
  15. Yeah they can definitely spin Freddie any way they choose, it was just what popped into my head at the time. Who else knows it's me, Freddie? Just me and Ritchie (Throws him off the roof) Probably some recall from The Departed dancing around in my brain.
  16. Yeah Conrad is definitely evolving with each episode, though maybe devolving is a better word. I guess it is intentional at this point, which is why I think our rat might be Harry himself. The obvious answer is Maeve but ask yourself who could Freddie have fingered that would result in himself getting thrown off of the roof? It would be Harry, followed by Jan and his stupid daughter, neither of which seems likely. I think Maeve being the rat is a red herring. Also what's up with Colin and Richie, are we meant to believe that Colin served up Fisk and the other detective to get murdered my Richie? I think so but wasn't super clear.
  17. Yeah and Kevin knows it. Brutal. I will say again, as hateful as he is, the dude who is playing Eddie is absolutely nailing it. It is going to be so glorious when Harry eventually kills him and every single person watching this show has gotta be on board with that. Retract my previous comment about Maeve being smart unless there was some 4D chess manipulation going on there with Kevin. That was pathetic and not well written. To the point that I feel like I am missing out on some 4D chess by Maeve but I don't think I am, I think it was just that lazy. Really fun show and I can't wait for the next episode, but there is definitely some stuff that is going to keep me from putting it in the great category.
  18. Fantastic episode imo. Maybe the best one yet, either season. So much so that I was disappointed when in the post-episode recap they talked about many of the scenes being from the video game. Great storytelling with the flashbacks on how Ellie came to realize what happened in SLC and how her resentment for Joel grew. Loved also the call back to Joel's childhood, and psyched to see Lalo make an appearance. Also, a thought/prediction. I'm going to spoiler it, even though I'm a non game player and don't know what will happen
  19. I just finished last night and started reading the replies and bravo you said it much more succinctly than I could have. Also why do they alternately portray Ellie as a zombie killing badass and then a dumber than a 10 year old idiot when Dina is making battle plans. For the better part of an episode there, Dina was giving main character energy and Ellie was just the doofus sidekick. And then at the end she's Jason Bourne again. The plot is still good and interesting, and I still think Ramsey is a kick ass actor with plenty of good scenes. And I like Dina and think her character is well acted, too, but yeah the writers are forcing the relationship plot line a little too much right now imo. Less talking, more scissoring.
  20. The best part about KD absolutely annihilating Acho is that just yesterday he won some award for being the most media friendly player in the league.
  21. That stuffer is very similar to mine. It works. Not fun, not easy but I don't get the sense that has anything to do with the type or quality of the stuffer.
  22. I just want to say that I have been trying to incorporate 'innit?' into my every day vocabulary. I'm not sure how it's going. I think my wife would probably say not well.
  23. That's not outlawing zone blocking, it means you can't run running plays in short yardage situations. It's usually you have a set of downs to get to midfield, and another set of downs if you make midfield to get into the end zone. You can "punt" on 4th down (or 3rd if it's a 3 down league) by just giving the other team the ball back and they have to start from their own 10 or 20 yl. It's a good rule for the purposes of safety.
  24. Thank you for your input.
  25. Why does it seem like 50% of the time during these reviews we get a solid 2 minutes of analysis and slow mo replays, even a kick to Steve Javie in addition to the broadcast of the ref's ruling (hopefully it's Kennedy)? And the other half of the time they bullshit with each other about inane non related basketball topics, kick it to commercial or to a sideline reporter, and then come back and are like 'and oh by the way, Minnesota won their challenge'. The first few times I noticed this I thought I was making it up but I think I see an instance of each pretty much every night.
