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

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.

Is there room on the Caps bandwagon for one more?

Spent the afternoon doing yardwork and splitting wood for the fireplace next winter. Weighed myself just now. 209.8 lbs. First time under 210 in about five years!

Man, what a totally f#&%ed up day. Went in to work to catch up, and two people created total clusterf#&%s of the two different projects they were working on. It's no wonder I drink heavily.

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.

Are Flat Earthers real? Do you personally know anyone who believes the earth is flat? LINK

@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.

Awesome goal by Ovechkin with 67 seconds left to give the Caps a 4-3 win over the Pens. LINK

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.

Miracle. The 1980 U.S. Olympic gold in hockey. All time top 5 sports movie or not? What sports movies are better?

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.

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.

Will you be satisfied with Frost if we go 6-6 regular season this year? How many wins is acceptable?

Have you ever gone back and watched a TV show you used to love, but now it seems ... meh? Northern Exposure. I used to love that show. But now, not so much.

Shows that still hold up for me after repeated viewings that I've watched recently (thanks Hulu)
Saved By the Bell
Fresh Prince
Scrubs
Wonder Years
Shows that just don't do it for me anymore
Doogie Howser MD
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.
Good topic!
-
@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.
-
@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!"
