  2. Someone tried to insult me by calling me a corn eating Cornhusker fan.  I don't see how that's an insult. :shrug:

      That's the problem with you red wearing, football watching manly men, you don't realize when you've been insulted. 

       

      Sorry, didn't mean to be so harsh.

      I'm in Beijing right now.  They don't even have porn.  On the Internet anyway. And their whiskey--or at least the kind I tried, which is the most popular Chinese brand--is awful.  

       

      BBQ?  I dunno.  The way they BBQ stuff here is different.  But it's pretty good!

      Honestly, everyone is saying it, but he really did inspired me to try new foods, cook new foods, and start traveling the world this year. Plus, he made me realize that no matter where we come from in this world we're all pretty much the same. A fact that was confirmed on my first trip overseas.

       

      I hope I can be as selfaware and open to new things as he was.

      I talked to the folks at AT&T last night.  (No Apple store in my tiny hometown.  lol).  They said I could take an iPad Pro 10.5" out for a 14 day trial.  (Could return it if I want w/i the 14 days.)  The iPad hardware would come at a steep discount if I buy it from the AT&T store--so long as I sign my firstborn away with a couple year AT&T contract.  (I already use AT&T anyway.)

      Re-Surface. We were not happy about giving up our Dell laptops because they were a solid piece of equipment. The Surface Pro was so flimsy.  We couldn’t transfer the data from the Dell to the Surface very easily and when you took the keyboard off and just used the Pad-nightmare.   I will confess that there was emotion present and I’ve never been a Microsoft fan having always used Apple products except for very early on when we used Atari. 

      You have to buy what fits your computer style and usage. If you are a Microsoft user then you will love Surface Pro. However, I’m glad you get to try the iPad.

      I've flip-flopped on this thing a couple times now.  The iPad can handle a lot of basic work stuff; MS Word, Excel, etc.  But iPad doesn't have a couple of programs that I use a lot.  Like Outlook (email) and Visio.  I could replace Outlook by simply getting used to a new email application.  No big deal.  But I have dozens, maybe hundreds of Visio files that I've drawn and sometimes need to edit.  That would more of a hassle.  OTOH, the iPad tablet capabilities with the pen and all would be useful and sorta cool.   So there's that.

      @Comfortably Numb oh trust me. There's no reasoning with him. That's not the only thing he believes that is strange. Lots of conspiracies with this one. And I'd say his parents are the ones not educating him, not me. I tend to ignore him and not entertain his ramblings.

      I'm a total pretend flatearther. My plan is to continue to tell people about how the earth is flat until they get so pissed off they pay to send me to space and I'll be all like "WEEEEEE!!!!!! j/k! I just wanted to get to space! Suckers!"

       

      So far it's not working.

      ^^I think that's how it is.  Most Flat Earthers don't really believe that tripe.  They're just internet people who enjoy trolling others.  But I do think there is a small minority of FE'ers who really do believe the earth is flat.  I'l like to talk to one.  But they're hard to find.

      Not to mention, he shouldn't have been in the game for this check to the head which left Zach Aston-Reese with a concussion and a broken jaw!

      Guess I’m going to have start watching this series. That Wilson is a bit of a goon. It was actually a pretty skillful trip to free up that breakaway goal but that hit on Aston-Reese is deserving of some payback. Might not have been so bad if he wasn’t grinning about it but still....

  18. This was the worst NFL draft for NU players that I can remember.  (Last year wasn't much better.)  It seems like not that long ago that we'd have five or six guys drafted, with a couple going in the first three rounds.

      I've said it before, but I do believe the draft is a valuable indicator of the talent you have on a team. It's not the only indicator and I certainly wouldn't put all my eggs in its basket, but, I think it's pretty telling only one Husker player was drafted in the late rounds. It's further evidence of the cultural and coaching breakdown under Riley.

      To be fair to Riley what could he develop from the YSU coach’s last few cycles.

      I feel regret for not including A League of Their Own on my list. I only own like five DVDs and that's one of them.

       

      @Xmas32 great call on Vision Quest. Completely forgot about that movie.

    3. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      For me a sports movie (or any movie for that matter) is only as good as its music score. My top two would be 

      Hoosiers and The Natural. I also liked  Chariots of Fire.  

      I also think that it depends on the sport you like. Breaking Away is one of the best sports movies for me because I love cycling.  

      Rocky was ok but they killed it by making so many sequels. Sandlot is also a nostalgic favorite. I also have to give a nod to 

      The Pride of the Yankees w/Gary Cooper. Incredible classic. 

      Miracle was very good but when you’ve experienced the real thing a movie has a hard time measuring up although the coach’s real life wife said Kurt Russell did such a great job playing her husband it was like having her husband there again.

      6-6 isn't satisfying but it's acceptable. Especially if we win the bowl game.

      That said I think we'll go 7-5 or 8-4.

    4. RunMickeyRun02

      6-6 would get us to a bowl game. I'd be happy with that. That was the bare minimum I wanted last year though...

      Some How I Met Your Mother Episodes...I didn't care for the last season when I saw it the first time (except for meeting the mother).  I loathe it now because the ending is so unsatisfying.

      @Xmas32 I have vague plans to watch HIMYM again, but I can never get myself to pull the trigger. A lot of it was fine, but the ending just sucked.

       

      @RedDenver Right there with you. I tried watching Highlander and Legend (with Tom Cruise & Mia Sara) but neither held up. Same with (throwback here) Connections w/James Burke, which I used to really like, but which isn't very good upon rewatching.

    4. Xmas32

      Xmas32

      @KnappIc yeah I hear you.  I started off catching HIMYM on FX for usual re runs and that got me to blow through a couple seasons on Netflix.  I had to stop myself after a couple hours and ask myself, "What are you doing, you know how this ends and it's just going to tick you off.  Get it together man!"
