wacky1980

the wife started watching this a couple days ago, and i kinda got into it with the last 3 or 4 eps to go. maybe i needed the first half dozen episodes to really "get it" but i was expecting something ... scary? possibly horror-genre-related? the few jump scares that i caught was about all there was to it that helped it qualify as "horror" and that ending ... thought for a minute i was watching some less suspenseful version of downton abbey. didn't know that was even possible. eh. if you're looking for some good horror/suspense to go bone up on the old lady, this ain't it.

i have a feeling the house will be a total loss anyways, and i doubt they rebuild on the same site. move "up the hill" a mile and in 50 years, they'll own the beachfront again.

a friend of mine has a home in mexico beach. she was sure her house was going to be destroyed in michael. luckily enough, her house was one of the few that was spared complete destruction in her neighborhood. they did sustain a significant amount of damage to their roof and probably some flooding (they haven't been able to get down there yet to check on it because of the extensive damage to infrastructure), but the house wasn't blown away entirely. here's a couple pics of their house from satellite view. the first is pre-michael, and the second is on 10/11. their house is the only one on the south side of the street that survived. two of the houses formerly on the south side of the road ended up getting blown off their foundations and pushed across the street into another building. that's a pretty stiff breeze.

it's probably the one where the old man mocked the ambitious young man for working too hard and not enjoying the simple life. then the old man died while scrubbing a shitter in the casino bathroom where the young man was vacationing with his buddies.

can't you just tell 'em someone did that account copy thing that's going around? it was the evil dd who posted all that stuff. well shit, that's not gonna work either. even with an account hack, you'd still be the evil dd.

no insurance agent will write you a dram shop policy you'll be able to afford, with all the potential for bodily injury you're selling in this thread. and without dram shop, you're not getting a liquor license from the state. no liquor, no babes and no paying customers. you need someone who can keep your shit in line. my fee is reasonable and my services are essential. here's my card, guido.

she doesn't even have to be any good. the fact that she'd even look at, let alone suck, that crusty old thing at all is plenty of motivation for this fucking guy.

FIREBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally picked up a new (to us), larger capacity ice machine to use at the bar. no more spending $50/wk on ice at the gas station to get through busier streaks. <--- is happy. hooked up the new ice machine. it leaks from three places, out onto the floor and makes a big annoying puddle that has to be mopped up twice a day. <--- is no longer happy.

Felix Sater Day: The Trumpending Story

tenacious D is releasing another album. hopefully it's better than that phoenix they slaughtered the last time. "making love" just dropped off the new album "post-apocalypto" and here it is. does require language warning? you knew that already.

lol AI runs on command line DOS. fitting.

same style for 15 years. like, exactly the same. why mess with a mediocre thing?

you don't have an executive bathroom? wtf you even doing in that place with no executive bathroom?

they beat a cubs team that hasn't had any respectable offense for a month+, and it took them 13 innings to do it with 2 runs. milwaukee is gonna squash the rockies.

Into the 9th, Cubs and Rockies tied 1-1. Pretty sure the Cubs don't deserve to be in a position to win this game, but here we are. 2019, see you soon.

my last name is gonna come out your mouth all wrong. but that's because it's northern european. w sounds like v, a sounds like ah, etc etc.

there are 8 different single malts coming in a couple months as well as part of this tie-in. i will buy approximately zero of them.

i felt good about things til september. i'm content with any postseason play, even if it ends with nlds elimination. i don't know that they deserve it this year. lester will probably pitch a great game tomorrow and the cubs will advance to face milwaukee three more times, maybe four, this week. then they'll be done.

typical.

cubs fans got to win the world series in that movie, so we remember it pretty well lol.

it's been a thing in chicago for as long as i remember. ever seen "rookie of the year"? that's how the kid got on the team.

that's better.

doesn't every park's crowd toss back an opposing team's homerun? i thought that was just proper etiquette.
