  1. Thanks for the heads up. If it's even brushing against the greatness that was Banshee it will be must see TV. My god, the talent level in that show was off the charts, so I Googled "Banshee sex scenes" to add a link, and .... the top ten were all porn sites. You have been warned. Therefore I present the best fight scenes:
  2. Why is Kyler Murray there, and what is he celebrating?
  3. Ha, that is exactly what played in my head while reading a well done post with the word "magical". Reminded me of the classic Premiership "the driving rain can't dampen their resolve".
  4. The MBA, like any other post grad degree, assists in your career path. Of course an exceptional employee with exceptional work ethic can, and should, be elevated above someone that has a post grad degree. However most of the corporate world is controlled by something called a Human Resources Department. They like higher education.
  5. Travelling through any high traffic airport, it's a lifeline if you're running late. I'll use TSA 9O% of the time, but if the the line is too long I'll jump over to Clear. There's always a bored Clear employee waiting to help get you scanned and usher you to the front of the line. You don't even have to show your ID or boarding pass again, it's just a "Hey, he's with me" and boom, you're in. If you travel alot $15/month is cheap insurance to get in fast when necessary.
  6. I watched the first season. It's confusing unless you know the source material. I didn't. Premise is a war between the old gods - God, Fertillity Goddess, Leprechaun, yes, a fucking Leprechaun, etc, vs the new gods - Television, Technology, etc. The main character is a go between involved in this war but I couldn't figure out what the hell his purpose was, other than being beaten or beating the shit out of others. It's bizarre and well done and confusing but I'm all in for Season 2. If nothing else for Swearengen as God.
  7. Read the above with a British accent. It’s fun.
  8. Wow, I forgot about that. Scared the shit out of me. Quick Google search shows that Scott Glenn was in it.
  9. That fucking Cotton Bowl. Muffed punt, no words. But I was really pissed about the GA TD run - I think it was 4th down - the TX outside linebacker responsible for contain was ankle tackled by an interior GA lineman. I know because I had a Beta Max tape of the game replayed it over and over. I SEEN'T IT. At the time it was kind of like, damn that sucks, but time to move on. Nebraska was unstoppable, number 1, no chance to jump them playing some weird team from Miami? Yeah, then the Orange Bowl happened. At the time my UTEP brother told me TX didn't deserve to be National Champs anyway, since TX was #2 and played like #2 in the game. I told him to fuck off.
  10. How did that happen, didn't you have the original rebuilt? Also is orange the go to Mopar block color, like Ford's blue?
  11. Wow, 5 months. They look good. Did you feel like a kid at Christmas when they came back? Well I do right now, just got all my power steering parts back from the rebuilder. I even ripped open the boxes to get at them. Happy days.
  12. yes to above. I always really liked the whole ending : When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown the dream is gone I have become comfortably numb
  13. I have an engineer inlaw at Boeing that is doing the part time MBA right now. He said it was necessary to give him the opportunity to move up, or move around, the company. He said they were assisting financially, but can't recall the percentage. I bolded the part that seems very odd. Why is that? Seems as if your current employer actually cared about your education, and the benefit you might bring to the company in the future, they wouldn't care. Hell, they'd probably even give preferential treatment to non-profit. I would get it. It's not the curriculum that will necessarily help - though depending on your profs, could - but more for HR departments. Many jobs have a check box for post grad studies, and doing it part time, while working, shows you're serious about your career. You obviously don't want to get ceilinged at a relatively young age, so get it and open up whatever possibilities that might exist.
  14. Just to change it up a bit, behold Saturday morning
  15. This show always freaked me out.
  16. Biden is absolutely running. Can't remember the title of the book I read about the '88 election, but for some odd reason I specifically remember a quote by Biden. He was moaning about his blue collar background, how he thought it was holding him back from getting the right donors, catching on with the right message, etc. "There's a river of power that runs this country, and that river runs right through the Ivy League." Dude is from Scranton and has a chip on his shoulder. Yeah, he's running and looking forward to a fight with Trump if he can get past the primaries.
  17. Me and a buddy wasted time at work today sending each other old TV show clips, laughing our asses off. We only scratched the surface so I thought a thread would bring out the good stuff. I game him Mannix and he countered with "Dan August". Never saw that show, only on one year, a rare Quinn Martin miss.
  18. skimming through this thread reminded me of
