  1. saw it yesterday with the fam. most opinions were 'it was ok, not as good as Marvel' . The extent of my Black Adam/Shazam knowledge is from the '80s cartoon so really did not know much going in. I like the Marvel movies because of all the inside connections and we know the chars from all the movies over the years. you obviously don't get that with DC (at least from themovies). anyway, not great, not bad. very typical action flick.
  2. i dont get the love for russia. the USA's mortal enemy. We getting to decimate their military and get first hand knowledge of how our surplus military hardware's effectiveness does vs the russkies for pennies on the dollar. but i guess since Trump loves Putin the cult just follows along.
  3. i had what they call a 'sports hernia' where there is not a full on tear of the stomach muscle wall with a breach of the intestines. it was more like the tendons that connect the stomach muscles to pelvis (maybe? not a doctor) get torn. The surgery is the same. they put a mesh thing that strengthens the area it dissolves over time. think i got an MRI and one other scan (CAT scan maybe). this was like 15 years ago, so maybe now they do something different. who knows if the surgery actually did anything or the recovery/inaction from the surgery allow the area to heal. bottom line i was ok afterwards. seek professional medical help
  4. i would just kill for a filter to block people with zero followers from tagging my account with phishy spam
  5. place on the drag (not Wootens) was $7 (circa 1992). Lady let me keep that price for 3 years. I want to say it was called Affinity or some shit.
  6. i saw that some psycho was handing out bags of SunChips. saw the bag in a kid's pumpkin as they getting candy at our house. wtf is wrong with people? there was also some crazy lady on nextdoor trying to shame people using fake cotton webbing in their yards by claiming that by doing so a multitude of birds were surely going to die from being trapped in the strands.
  7. yeah, most everyone does not do that and just embraces the fact that we'll get 100s trick or treaters for Halloween. it can get crazy if it falls on a weekend, but Monday was not too bad even though we ran out of candy around 8:30pm almost no wind, so the smoke machine was awesome last night
  8. am i crazy or are the elementary kids trying to trick or treat earlier now? we generally shut down our block as we get a large influx of traveling trick or treaters (cars tying to drive down the street with tons of kiddos is no bueno) but they blocked it off at 4pm and the bulk of the kids on the block came around at 4:30pm. At least let the sun think about setting ffs.
  9. yeah, nothing to be done on past games. either crowd source or commish the guy's lineup from here on out.
  10. opponent shoved a horseshoe up his butt and picked up Mariota as a bye week starter against me. ~28pts which was double the yahoo estimate lol. Still should get the W as long as his TE and D don't combine for 45 tonight.
  11. i don't think i could bring myself to trade Diggs. i could see teams eventually finding a way to limit Kupp as Stafford just refuses to throw to anyone else. if you are looking for an opinion, i would take the trade with Kupp/Kittle for those three listed above. but you have to know that Boyd will likely turn into a pumpkin before the end of the season.
  12. Playing a guy that has Mahomes on a bye and has yet to pick up a replacement. i'm thinking about picking up a QB just to fuck with him, but there are a lot of equally crappy options. Worth it to take away any of these QBs just so he can't play them? Russ vs Jax Jimmy G vs LAR Trevor vs Den Goff vs MIA
  13. need more blow outs and less 2 pt games. I think Kidd is obviously still tinkering with the last 7 minutes of the game line up. we get 2 of those defensive rebounds vs the Nets and it's a 10 pt win. love the D down the stretch but just have to finish with the rebound. Luka made a great D play to come of his man to heavily contest when i think it was Kyrie spinning into the lane, but that obviously leaves his guy free to go after the board. - the OT was a thing of beauty. Luka hitting shots then setting up his teammates to knock down wide open 3s. And as others have said, i don't need Luka throwing 2-hand chest passes through a tire in his backyard for hours on end, but seeing some lazy-ass 1-handed passes to start the season.
  14. i listen during ticket commercials for the most part. if it grabs my attention i might stick with the segment. they took listener ?s and one asked when Greggo would make an appearance. Rhyner said 'Never'. but then after some back and forth with Sorois said maybe.
  15. Same. Dude got me 19.5 for the tie. We don't do fractional points and he had 39 yards rushing and 49 yards passing. a better spot netting 1 more freaking yard would have won the game. Or if CHI would have punched it in the end zone as opponent had PATS D. I think that would have taken away a point.
  16. no line at Samuel Grand Rec Center in East Dallas/White Rock Lake area. Parking lot was 90% full but it took ~10 minutes start to finish.
  17. they just need to have the rule be to mark the ball 10 yards back from the start of the slide (if past the LOS). yes, you can avoid getting hit but there is no gain to be made other than not getting hit.
  18. you think there is something wrong with them trying to build a false case (without law enforcement) and failing for a grand jury to indict 5 times but then 6th time is the charm? Read this over the weekend, but the big takeaway was the line about the public (in the form of the jury) finding out that someone donating to a judge's re-election fund on Saturday and then showing up on their docket on Monday and that was totally cool and perfectly legal (even though that was not what happened at all with this case).
  19. yeah, but they probably got to 'check in' their location on FB,; so worth it
  20. DFW early voting location finder (maybe just Dallas County) https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/c07c2f835a994cdb95afee9844251a5a/
  21. that last INT he threw on the bomb (missing the WR that had 3 steps on the DB) looked like his arm was a little gimpy. or at least made sense after the fact.
  22. yup, but if he ever made it back to school...LEGEND but probably not going to be the deciding factor to win 'most likely to succeed'
