  1. For sure, if there is one thing I can't stand about the game its the embellishing of fouls. They should institute a rule for that like they do in the NHL. And the begging after just about every tackle. There is more begging in a non-american football ( I didn't want to say Soccer) game than there is on the streets of Mexico City.
  2. If you do you better send a check with it, otherwise it is guaranteed to be ignored. On the other hand, if the check is really big they will be glad to change the format to anything you like.
  3. There was a lot more sex in the early Game of Thrones. For some reason, most shows do this. At the moment, I can't think of any that had more as the series went on. And I would have though there should be a couple in an effort "to save the series."
  4. Someone should have gotten you a second fish bowl and siphon tube. It would have worked out great as career path incentive.
  5. I am impressed at what his invention does. 14 seconds a pour to 5 seconds, you would think any place that has high volume beer pours would be all over this.
  6. Wow, three in a row and all very interesting. Thumbs up ( written because I can't find the image!!!)
  7. I've watched 3% and Safe. Just OK for me. Someone here, maybe you, said they enjoyed it. I think Silicon Valley is great. I was surprized they could push it to 4? seasons, but they keep finding topics. I have to believe everything in this show has happened in real life, most likely spread across multiple people.
  8. One of my daughter's gave me this hardcover book for Christmas years ago. What makes it special is she went through the book highlighting all the things that she felt about me. Greatest present I have ever or will ever receive. Makes me cry just thinking about it.
  9. Did you flip a coin and let him call heads or tails?
  10. Here are two links that should be enjoyed by anyone who likes the Beatles. The first below is an instructor going over some guitar techniques. Not sure it is for everyone but if you ever played or tried to play a guitar, you should find it enjoyable. The second link is a composer who goes over some of the unique writing techniques they employed. I was never a big fan of I am the Walrus, but after watching this I find it a most interesting song. They are both rather long but worth it. If you only watch one I might guess you should watch the second one. Enjoy.
  11. Not to cop out but it seems like it is the Beatles album I am listening to at the moment. Not this moment, but whenever I listen to one. I always really like it. I just watched the "The Beatles the Touring Years" which I had saved to DVR. Great show. I will always be impressed at the way they created songs on such a short time span. They were always under the gun to produce the next album. There are some interesting video's I have seen and if I can find them on you tube when I have time, I will link them. Part of the Beatle magic was taking common chords and playing them in a unique way. It is part of the reason their music was always so refreshing.
  12. Kirwan is a great guitarist that most have never heard of. The Fleetwood Mac guitarists of the time where all just great together. I bought "Then Played On" at Twin Fair as a cut out. It is one of my top ten all time favorite albums. If you enjoy blues, check out that album. Youtube has the entire album, actually more than one posting. Green and Kirwan both had their bad experience with LSD? at the same party in Munich. There is a video of Fleetwood and McVie talking about it somewhere on youtube. It was the turning point down for both of them mentally. Thanks for the link. I had seen most of the video's in this mix but there are some parts of this one I had never seen before.
  13. Oregano is the spice that turns below average or average to great. If the sauce you are using doesn't have it, sprinkle some on the pizza before you cook it. It is a huge difference maker.
  14. I could watch the female guitar player in this all day.
  15. I thought the first episode was a bit slow but it got better. Another spin of a common tale. A couple of small twists on the way to the end of season 1.
  16. I don't think the Mets ever got that high off the ground.
  17. Is it just me or is there a lot of violent cross checking in this series that is not being called? Both ways. I have seen Sabre games this year where a Sabre defenseman was called for Cross checking when he barely wrinkled the guy's jersey.
  18. About 49 years too late. At the time, there was much speculation on who the driver actually was.
  19. Did you happen to see Ray when he was at UB a couple of years ago? Great show, my music friends and I are waiting in anticipation for his next US tour. The oddest thing about that show was, he announced they were going to play David Watts. I thought to myself, of all the Davies compositions, why that one. It was one of the best. Being live makes a whole lot a difference for some songs.
  20. I up vote all Kinks references. There is a documentary out there which is the history of the Fuzz. Have you seen it? I checked out Youtube which has several but the one I am familiar with wasn't there. I have a copy of it somewhere but not sure where.
  21. After all their previous struggles to get to the final, I think it makes the Caps the perfect team to lose the finals to an expansion team. If Holtby leaves as many loose rebounds as he did against TB, he is going to get bombed. Vegas really goes to the net well. I hope they make the Sabres watch and point that out to them.
  22. I forgot the link. It is 54 dollars for a single team subscription. I watch other teams also, so I prefer the any team option. I should say it is subject to black outs if the game is broadcast in your area. So if the Mets are playing the Dodgers, I would have to watch it on cable because I am in a Met broadcast area, Syracuse. Or use a VPN.
  23. I don't know how many of you care to watch baseball, but MLB TV just posted a deal for the Memorial Day Weekend. $69.99 for the remainder of the season. Let's you stream to multiple devices. I watch on my computer or my Firesticks. I normally wait for their Fathers Day deal which is either $54 or $57 for the remainder of the year. For me it is not worth it to wait. You just have to remember to cancel before next March 1 or they will auto-subscribe you at the normal rate. I'm a Dodger fan but since I have been playing Beat the Streak I watch a lot of other teams. Note this is for this weekend only. https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe
  24. There are some who will go wrong no matter how perfect a job their parents did.
  25. Who's the tougher opponent for the Knights to play in the finals, the Lightning or the Caps? I think it is the Caps but I don't think they are going to make it to the finals.
