    I remember my house getting forked when I was in high school, 16 years ago.  So def not just "today's" youth. 

    I do know it was a thing around that time.  Youngest daughter was in high school around that time.  The thing was that it was a friend of hers and her friend's 2 aggie siblings that did it.  So, I thought it was another aggie tradition that I was not aware of...like 'Fork t.u.' or similar

    He was all over TV in the 60's. Always liked his work, never mailed it in.

    This.

    Homicide:LOTS, Alien, Midnight Run...

    One of my favorite roles of his was in 'Brubaker'.  Father of the "slow clap" perhaps?

    Anyway, RIP Mr. Kotto.

     

  3. Right now, according to www.suppose.tv, FoxSports regionals*** are all in the realm of AT&T.

     

    ***Fox Sports Southwest for my search.

  4. Put me in the camp of WTF for 'I Care A Lot'.  As others stated, it was a decent ride until the lake scene.  You've spent the entire movie portraying this woman and her girlfriend as ruthless people praying on elderly people. Now, you want the audience to sympathize\empathize with the same women after they escaped what they truly deserved? Nope.

    Was I the only one who had to IMDB Alicia Witt?  I was like, the voice is quite familiar but I can't quite place that face....

  5. The Lost Girls - starring Amy Ryan (The Office, Gone Baby Gone), Gabriel Byrne.  Based on a true story - Girl goes missing, ends up uncovering the work of a serial killer(s).  The main arc is around the police and their handling of the cases and their interactions with the surviving family members.  Overall, I though it was a good movie.  Depressing material though.

    I think that is the million dollar question. I think we all were fine with a ‘everyone do your part’ mentality of rolling blackouts. I know I was prepared and had explained it to my kids as a greater good to the community. 
     

    Turns out we spent 50 hours in the dark and cold while surrounding neighborhoods never once had a flicker. That was hard to explain and I don’t think i’ll ever reconcile with whatever bullshit they throw out there. It is fucked up and should never happen. 

    Saw this type of shit in The Woodlands after hurricanes nailed stations on the coast.  They would announce rolling blackouts.  We were like, OK, lets roll with it.

    Every time this would happen in our neighborhood - Copper Sage in Cochran's Crossing - our house and about 3-4 others would be without power.  I could literally look across the street and see folks with their lights on.  Them and the rest off the neighborhood never saw their lights flicker over the course of a couple of weeks.  This was during August... you can only get to one layer of naked to try and cool off.  

    Bottom line, this shit sucks.  It sucks more for others.  I know what you are feeling.
