  1. Did they not have any ammo made by mullet in the final showdown?

    And

    What was with the helicopter in the last episode?

    And

    Why not cut out negans tongue and prevent him from persuading people to ultimately destroy the settlement as I expect will happen next year. . .

    and none of these questions compare to the most obvious one as it relates to the final showdown ........

    WHY WAS THERE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS HANGING FROM A TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!

  2. 5yo: Dad. I have a joke for you.

    (Feels proud moment coming)

    Me: You have a joke for me?
    5yo: yeah. What is a turtles favorite food?

    (Truly stunned as a) great opening, b) I’ve never heard this joke before)

    Me: I don’t know son, what is a turtles favorite food?

    5 yo: pizza

    ( WTF? That’s not a joke. It’s not funny or punny)

    5yo: I’m going to get a pet turtle. And I’m going to name him Tiffany.

    (Now that’s funny in a what!?! kind of way)

  3. I feel builders always plant new trees too close together.

    No shit. I have two oaks maybe 10ft apart. I don’t get it. They do this for a living and HOA says I have to maintain two trees. So I either have to live with it, or relocate them a little further apart if water lines even allow it.


  4. This kills me. I correct her every single time. I don’t care when she gets pissed because “I knew what she meant.”

    I will continue to correct her every single time. She will either change her phrasing or continue to be pissed at me every time she says it. I will die on this hill.

    Is her name CJ?

  5. Yeah. Soundbars don’t need a receiver. They usually have HDMI, optical or RCA style stereo inputs. If you use the ARC HDMI input/output, the soundbar / sub will act like TV speakers. They turn on when the TV turns on and you use the TV remote to control the volume. It’s a really simple connection.

  6. Buck Naked performance boxer briefs


    I’ve had these for about a week. I like them.

    They are looser than or not as tight on the thigh other boxer briefs like meundies or den of thieves or even ex officio. Even champion mesh boxer briefs hug tighter in the legs.

    Very comfortable.
  7. Posting here because I imagine that I'll be buying my first "home theater" stuff...
    My 12yo 60 inch DLP died last night.  I haven't bought a TV in 9 years and don't know jack about today's TVs.  I want >60" screen and ability to use Roku and Apple TV, etc.  I've been told I'll likely want a "sound bar," which I had to google before going outside to yell at some kids on my lawn.  This sort of thing I'd usually research the hell out of and hunt for sales, but I have no time as I need a new TV for this weekend. 
    Please edumacate me, wise Surly home theatre experts.


    Sound bars are ok. AVSforum people will tell you sound bars are a simple solution but only use them if you have no other choice.

    If you are doing a common area setup, I think soundbars (plus a sub) are ok and easy to setup. If you are serious about watching movies and feeling the sound, or if you are setting up a true home theater you’d be looking at a receiver and a minimum of three speakers and a subwoofer.

    Where are you? I ask because if I’m austin A&B tv have some great prices. Frys is another one if they have one on their promo code sales. Sign up for emails to get the code.

    TV: I went with a Sony because their smart TV interface is android based and updated more frequently than say Panasonic’s interface.

    Receiver: Yamaha gets good reviews, you can get a great deal on a Denon at Frys.

    Subs: SVS get high reviews here and elsewhere. Good bang for the buck.

    Soundbar? I dunno. I have a Panasonic and a Sony set that both work pretty good. Easy to use via ARC.
