Anyone Watching House of Cards?
UConn James replied to Lt. Dan's Revenge's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I'll raise my hand. I binge-watched the whole second season Friday night, yesterday and this morning. At the end of Episode 14 (the first of the second season), my jaw just hit the floor. And I couldn't stop watching. Netflix announced before the s2 release that there will be a third season. -

The French finally made me laugh - The Diner
UConn James replied to BringBackFergy's topic in Off the Wall Archives
My GSP had been taught to wait until I say OK and then to take milk-bones/scraps/pineapple/what-have-you gently Great dogs, great breed. A bit high-strung in youth, but they mellow out with age. Fun personalities, and the GSP head-tilting is second to none. I've had some real characters! [sniff] and my current little buddy is no exception. Oh... and... Labs are nice dogs, too. -

IINM, that's a German shorthaired pointer. -
Winter Olympics game day thread.
UConn James replied to Jim in Anchorage's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Speed-skating (long- and short-track) and biathlon. -
Think of it as giving Valentines' to the characters. Then again, I dunno.... this update seems a bit shallow, except for the Tunnel of Love for Krustyland. It seems as if the Squidport tile trick has been figured out by TPTB. Nice while it lasted!

Seven donuts for finishing the Super Bowl quest! Woo Hoo!

So... my 6-year-old niece just tapped on the boardwalk section after I expressly told her not to. I scrolled over to the left and she was like, "I wanna see the cemetary!" and moved back over. I said again not to click on that. And then BAM! Yep, she's a female. *Sigh* 3 1/2 days until regeneration now.

Amazing Race All-Stars (starts Sun Feb 23rd)
UConn James replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Sorry, but Luke and Margie (it's a mum & deaf son team, BTW) are one of my favorites along with the Cowboys, and the Country Singer blondes . One of the awesome things about this show is that they have gone to great lengths to include people with disabilities, rather than shun them in favor of 'All Beautiful People, All the Time' as MANY other shows do. And as it turns out, the disabled competitions here are often more beautiful and human and kick-ass than the 'normal' people. (I'm just thankful the goth couple isn't back.) -
I clicked on it by accident a few days ago. I have ~ 4 hours to go until it's ready again. And I'm still collecting tiles. Thanks!
-
Accidentally tapped on both hands for the Squidport tile during collection. Frippin' Frappin' Flappin'.... >:-/ Well, it'll be another three days. Happy to have gotten my Freak Show shantyville out to the docks already, tho. Nice little 'cheat' here. It would've taken another three months to do that. Thanks, guys!
-
Hmm. If my peeps here could click on the Squidport tile for me when it's ready, that would be cool. I think it'll be another two days before the current one is ready and I hope this trick works. I've been trying to build an offshoot jetty to house the Freak Show. I'm at 3 days per tile now and it's so slow-going...!

gildedarmor12 Like Mrags said, if you need any help, ask here.

No tricks, other than luck. As I wrote, it took me ~70 spins to finally get the ClausCo building. (I had actually landed on it twice and got shafted by the peg toggle thingie. Flippin' flappin'....) And yeah, it'd be nice to get it, b/c in future Christmas events, it'll help you out e.g. how the previous year's graveyards/mausoleums etc. gave out extra ghosts this past Halloween. That donut discount from Gil didn't last all that long, either. I picked up some iTunes cards at BJ's just after Christmas, and it was gone. Oh well. I'll sit on them, then.

Finally got the ClausCo building today, after literally ~ 70 spins. (I have 97K cards.) Then again, I had landed on it TWICE before, with the spinner toggle nudging the edge of a divider pole, but still IN the ClausCo section... and it gave me the prize on the other £^€%ing side --- money. GRRRRR!!! So, no more need to drop gift bags in my Springfield. Give 'em to those who need 'em, and good luck!

This is a league that's bent over backward to give offenses the upper hand to increase scoring. Have to improve the O. TE needs to be upgraded. Chandler UFA(?) may not be back. I have a weird feeling that Stevie isn't going to be here next year. And if Graham is still here after this sorry-@$$ season.... Need to draft or develop another workhorse back to take over for FJ. (Don't get me wrong, FredEx is the man. But he's also going into year 8 at a position where the average career is ~ 1.75 seasons.) Continue drafting WRs. Whoever spotted/sold the FO on Woods and Goodwin should be listened to again. But I wouldn't mind going bigger / bulkier tweener TEs ala the Pats* model. Draft OL. Needs reinforcement. LG especially. RT and better depth secondarily.

Yup. Got Mr. Plow this a.m.

Hmm. I'm at the 'Hide from Springfielders' quest right now and sent Homer and Lisa on it. So, I guess I just won't tap on their thumbs at the Simpson abode until... whenever... and keep sending everyone on 'Search for the Simpsons' at least until I get the Barney Plow King and Clausco building. Still just getting cash or a few cards. That's getting pretty aggravating.

Just you watch... ajzepp is gonna list a $10,000 pair of headphones / speakers. Hmmm. Ridiculous yet reasonable? We got a '73 Mustang convertible in nice shape for ~$7K in October, so I'm not going press my luck. I'm gonna lean way toward the "reasonable" side and go with a GPS. Hopefully one that has a seductive-English-lady-accent voice.

LAMP--I have hesitated to post this, but...
UConn James replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I'm thinking that this is how Beerball would handle such a position of power, though: -
Still trying to take care of my homies (that would be, you guys!) with the gift bags. But damn if you don't get many to give out! I've had, at most, ~45 in one day. Sure isn't like the gremlins.... Another thing about the coin spins, tho. Once you get all the personal prize items, for every 1,000 gift cards you collect thereafter, you get a spin. Here's hoping that'll do it.
