  3. dum dums aren't bad. They are good parade candy, cheap and they taste alright, make it easy to pass out to kids. As far as Halloween candy, my personal fav is either smarties or skittles. As far as what begging urchins get for interrupting my night, raisins in small boxes.
  4. On this subject. Any game postponed will not be scored, and any pick made on that game will not be counted. We'll just pick em as they are played....
  5. I got a new job. Might want to just watch some anime and save the Dr. Pepper for tomorrow. Nothing wrong with calling it an early night.
  6. Ghost you can always work on a commercial barge on the St. Lawrence seaway.
  7. Scores are updated and picks are up. Bears should start Foles, but won't because Bears.... The Colts D outscored the Jets by a factor of 2:1. Never discount the Bengals from any "Playing from that #1 pick"....
  8. WEEK 4 THURS 8:20 pm Broncos v Jets SUNDAY 1:00 pm Saints v Lions Chargers v Buccaneers Jaguars v Bengals Vikings v Texans Seahawks v Dolphins Steelers v Titans Browns v Cowboys Cardinals v Panthers Colts v Bears Ravens v Washington SUNDAY 4:05 Giants v Rams SUNDAY 4:25 Patriots v Chiefs Bills v Raiders SUNDAY 8:20 Eagles v 49ers MONDAY 8:20 Falcons v Packers
  9. Amateurs.....
  10. PC is better these days. So much is available in terms of content and flexibility, there really is no reason for a console. Steam and GOG give you hours and hours of content, and streaming services are cheap. Cord the cords (save internet) and you'll come out ahead in terms of monthly expenses. Stream/record and make side hustle cash. People will watch people play old/new games and you won't run afoul of YT's idiotic ToS.
  11. I'll watch it. The original series wasn't as bad as people say, well, aside from the filler. Also, Jakken.
  12. I enjoyed the Batman movies. I think they were a good fit and a good use of Toonami time. This music thing is DeMarco being vain and honestly it reminds me of cringe MTV "Vote or Die" type nonsense. Of course, I'm on the record as saying that Toonami should stay away from politics because it will naturally alienate 40-50% of the audience, an audience that is none to big to begin with.
  13. I think DeMarco got told "We're doing Batman movies to promo the convention.". This event seems more like a vanity project that screams "I'm still relevant". A series of shorter AMV style promotions between shows would probably have worked better.
  14. Too bad the story took a serious dump on itself. Still, a good chance it will help Toonami's line-up and ratings.
  15. I demand this movie star Kellan Lutz as Capt.Yami....
  16. Week 3 picks are up. Scores are updated.
  17. Happy Birthday Mthor
  18.

  19. I worry when it is he government that is ultimately in charge of picking winners and losers, particularly when it comes to life and death/healthcare. I would argue that instead we have a system with multiple choices to allow individuals to have maximum freedom of choice to meet their needs. You can do a couple of things to drive costs down; make the Health Care sector tax exempt, allow pharmaceuticals to bring their medications to market in a quicker manner while not compromising safety, organize providers into networks (with fiduciary requirements) that patients can buy a membership in, allowing employers to offer 1:1 matching HSA (tax exempt for employer and employee up to 25k/yr). All of those measures taken together will lower costs considerably while giving the individual patient the flexibility to find the provider they are most comfortable with, as opposed to being assigned one. Tuition reform is needed because colleges get fed at the Fed piggy trough. Here is your worthless degree for 40k/yr in loans that you will never be able to pay back but hey, it's the Feds doling it out so the screwl doesn't care, they already got paid it is just the poor student who gets stuck with the bill they can't escape (no bankruptcy). I mean, if I can go to Google's "lern2c0de" for six months and get a job making 60k/yr why do I need to go take 40 hours of gender studies and weather and climate? The schools currently offer some degrees which are viable, and others which aren't. Maybe schools should have to guarantee the economic viability of their degree programs, if a graduate can't get a job in their field of study within a year the school has to assume the loan debt. I wonder how fast that would change things. Come to think of it, I'm going to be going to a picnic this weekend with my Congressman's field staff, maybe I'll mention that. Seems like a good idea to me, save taxpayers some cash.
