Along with the turtles and the Simpsons game, I also remember playing an X-Men button masher a lot.
I was always hooked on Spy Hunter without actually playing it. You can’t beat that theme song. I was always staring at that machine at the ice rink during my older brother’s games.
I was also a pinball fan. No specific ones really stick out to me, but I would play anything I could find.

- Misuse of then/than. “Then” is sequential. I’m going to go to the store, then home. “Than” is comparative. I’d rather go to Wegman’s than Top’s.
- WNY mispronunciation of words like elementary by pronouncing them with an emphasized -TARY instead of emphasizing “MEN” and ending with “tree”. My daughter picked up this habit and wife and I wince every time we hear her do it.
- Misuse of “ironic” in place of “coincidental”. Ironic means “opposite of what was expected” not “happenstance”.
So it’s not like rain on your wedding day?And I just did a quick skim through here. No one has mentioned “literally” yet?

I feel like it’s harder to find different shows on tv lately. All I ever see while scrolling through the guide is the office or Seinfeld… not that there’s anything wrong with that. The office, to me, can get old quickly. Seinfeld? Never. I feel like I’m still noticing new details each time I watch.

Can’t wait. There are so many little Easter eggs in that trailer.

I think we all remember how awesome this was.
I’m pretty sure you can get banned for posting nipples. -

I was surprised to see this news. He looked fantastic for 76 years old.
Besides Rocky, I remember him best in Predator and a very B movie - Action Jackson.
He had to be up around that age since Rocky is almost 50 years old at this point. Still, I never would have guessed 76 years for him. I guess it helps that I'm always picturing 1980s Carl Weathers instead of 2000s-2020s Carl Weathers.
And I didn't see it mentioned in here, but his recurring role in Arrested Development was awesome.

Top Flite's tagline should have been "The Most Abandoned Ball In Golf!"
Every time you find a ball, chances are it is a Top Flite. Made of granite with a slate outer core and ceramic outer layer.
Anytime I find one, I throw it deeper into the woods/weeds.-

If you're driving 250+ you should be a single digit handicap. I drive 200 mid summer when there's roll, usually 180-190. On a 6,000 yard course I still hope to break 90 when I stand on the first tee, though admittedly I'm disappointed more often than not on the 18th tee when it's obvious 90 isn't in play. Watch a few youtube videos, if that doesn't work take a lesson.
I’ve seen so many people over the years who focus solely on their driver and then can’t hit an iron or wedge to save their lives. I don’t think driving distance predicts your score at all. Hell, there are plenty out there who can bomb it… hard to the left or right.-

I’m willing to listen on this rule. If I’m 5 yards closer to the edge of the woods, I might have an easier time punching out of there.

I just bought a ps5 with the MW3 bundle this week. I haven’t played one of those games in over 10 years. It’s not like riding a bike.

That doesn’t sound like a meniscus tear. I had one and had surgery. My left knee was unstable and hurt. Had to use a cane.
It sounds like a torn meniscus. Had a tear on my left d had surgery in oct 2019. My knee was unstable and would give out. Had to use a cane. Thr dr finished the year and took about 30% out.
It sounds like you had a more severe tear than most others.
On 9/3/2023 at 1:47 PM, Goin Breakdown said:I had meniscus surgery twice. The reason for the second time is because the surgeon never scrapped the torn parts. He cleared out some water cysts is had and left the tear. Crazy right!? Anyway I went over ten years just dealing with the in and off pain. I could go most of the year totally fine with no restrictions and then it would flare up and my knee would always feel like it was going to give out and I always feared noodling over. After my sucked up surgery I have been totally fine. It took a couple weeks to feel comfortable and eventually I just didn't notice it anymore. It's a personal choice to get it fixed now or later. You wont regret getting it worked in though (when you do)
I'm convinced that mine was an old injury too. The MCL sprain made it act up and neither would heal properly on their own. The PT doc was very surprised when it was diagnosed because nothing during therapy screamed meniscus.

were you able to play through it at all? I know it is probably a bad idea, but I have been bracing the knee and continuing to do some sports, like bball and golf. For bball, I am taking it easier— sort of trying not to cut hard, etc. Haven’t had more issues yet, but obviously the knee isn’t right. (Going to see a doc next week).I had a sprain and torn meniscus that I played (hockey) through for maybe a month when I was 29. It wasn't getting any better so I caved and had it checked out and diagnosed. It's really going to depend on the severity. I wound up doing PT for a while, which wasn't helping, and eventually got scoped. I'm sure age played a major role, but recovery was pretty fast after that.
I wish I could remember some of those PT exercises. The damn thing has been bugging me since the fall when I tweaked it doing some yard work. 12 years later the damn thing can still act up at random moments even before the recent tweak.

The pop culture references are the only thing that is dated about the show. That is unavoidable.
And I'm not sure if pop culture is even the right word. Sure, there's things like Bette Midler or referencing JFK, but then there's also Susan's father having an affair with John Cheever.

Yeah, I miss punching up channel 4 and getting NBC and 206 to get ESPN, etc. I miss MLB and NHL networks, along with MASN. But it had to be done...the cost of DTV at $122/month vs. YTTV at $73/month was just too big a gap...and after several calls, DTV was unwilling to close that gap.
But hey, I bet they offered you all the premium movie channels for free for 3 months. That more than makes up for endless months at the significantly higher price.

In hindsight, I really love the design of the demo screens for so many games. They’re moving along pretty well, then out of nowhere die a truly stupid death. Kids watch that and think “hey, I need to play this because I would never do that”.
