  1. What is a realistic time frame for movie spoilers? How long after a movie is released is it OK to talk openly about specific plot points without being a jerk?

      @KnappIc Spoiler #2: Bambi dies in Tommy Boy. True story.

      Like in that movie The Sixth Sense, you find out that dude in the hairpiece the whole time?  That was Bruce Willis the whole movie.

  2. This has been the worst instance of trying to avoid spoilers for GoT. I've barely glanced at social media and deliberately avoided anywhere that might mention what happened last night, and I'm still seeing stuff.

      I successfully avoided MAJOR spoilers and saw the episode mostly fresh. Like, 99% fresh, as it turned out.

      Here's why it was so hard to avoid spoilers (but I did!).

      I had to show one of your tweets to my wife, to prove I'm not the only one to have a random bowl of pickles and (green) olives.:lol:

      So we're supposed to eat a salad of greens & bits for every meal, but there's laziness and whatnot involved in making dinner so a lot of times we just throw vague "veggie bits" in a bowl and call it crudites. In theory I would like to have the salad goodness most often, but it's super hard when I really like green & black olives & bitty pickles & carrots & whatnot. Sometimes little teeny cheese wheels or other cheesy bits.

       

      Pretty sure the salad is better overall, but the crudites are easy & yummy.

      Also, if anyone follows my meals and likes cottage cheese, the very best stuff is Hy-Vee small curd cottage cheese. I don't know if they put heroin in that stuff or what, but it's super addicctive.

      Everyone is taking this too literally. They could have done this bit with Iowa, Kansas or the Dakotas.

       

      It's just cool that they used the "Nebraska Accent" because of reasons. People from Nebraska are known to have, basically, no accent. That's why Johnny Carson was such a big deal - his voice was pure & attainable from about every locale.

      Nope. I like what I like. I'm not a fan of IPAs and bitter beers. Zipline has always seemed to have a bitter taste no matter the style. I love my Porters, Ales and stouts. As well as seasonal beers, but never been a fan of Zip.

       

      What's your poison Knap? I'm a sucker for Alaskan Amber Ale right now.

    3. knapplc

      My two favorite beers are Empyrean Ales' Chaco Canyon Honey Gold and Zipline's Copper Alt. Try their Copper Alt or Kolsch - neither have that bitter taste. I can't stand IPAs/bitter beers, either.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      I've had the Copper, but it just tasted off to me. I wasn't a fan... I'll give it another go in 3 weeks though.

       

      No arguments against Empyrean here.
