I still don't get it. I have no interest in seeing the Falcons play the Raiders in the field behind Joe's barn, or seeing a major league baseball game played on the dirt road by Pete's house, with Mrs. Wilson's yard an automatic out and the batter has to get the ball back...

No kidding. This isn't discussing The Onion any more, it's just bypassing the rules.

I'll be honest; I don't get the appeal of outdoor NHL hockey. It's like playing an NFL game on the dirt road outside Bobby's house.

If I ever find myself reentering this country, you can bet your ass I'll be wearing synthetics.

Congrats. At least I stayed out of the cellar for two years in a row...

Wow.

I decided to give the free trial a shot, as I figured the streaming movies would be more useful than the two-day shipping, although like Tom, I've never paid for shipping from Amazon anyway. But Greg is correct; the selection is pretty poor.

He fired Landry; the curse will not be lifted until he is gone.

I don't see how it matters as long as they have that defense.

I'm late to the party as usual, but Merry Christmas to all of you, and thanks to all for helping me keep my sanity (well, to a degree...) over the years.

Because that's the way we do it, and no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna tell us different!

Hats off to Aggie and Conn; you'd have needed a gun to get me to take Pittsburgh.

I agree. Nothing to worry about here. Well, as far as shopping goes.

Finally finished my revisit to Twin Peaks. This was the first time I'd seen the second season since it was broadcast, so there was definitely a bit of 'memory readjustment' for me. Admittedly, flaws are easier to see. You can tell Lynch was rushed into resolving the murder of Laura Palmer; he threw out the great red herring of Benjamin Horne as the killer but wasn't able to run with it for any length of time. In addition, the show would have been improved greatly by the elimination of two characters: James Hurley and Donna Hayward. The only reason Donna doesn't come across as the biggest moron on the planet is that James is there to make her look a bit higher on the scale than a rock. I'm always annoyed by romantic tension that depends entirely on one or more participant being purposefully stupid, and that's here in spades. Still, it's a pretty darned good show.

One for you, then: ;) It fits...

I managed to get through Dune somehow, in High School, but didn't much care for it. Haven't been tempted to read any others ever since. I read the first three, back when there were only three. I never had any desire to revisit them or read anything else by Herbert. I feel that I've done my time, and should not be punished further.

I should be in bed. I have to go to work in three and a half hours...

Depends on his taste. He complains about pop culture limiting things, but obviously he's not against limiting, he just prefers to name the limits himself. Plus, he's one of a long list of people who apparently don't understand what the word "classical" means.
