  1. Every team seems to do it now, bringing back a former player.
  2. I can't say I can blame the average American if it was never actually taught to them. I don't know if it was that way for everyone else, but I barely touched anything post-civil war in my high school history classes (and never took any history classes beyond that point). It always drove me crazy how little time they spent on the more recent history. It is the most relevant to where we are as a world today. I wonder how many many Americans know nothing more of the middle east than what Ben Affleck showed them in Argo.
  3. Or put the kid in the seat temporarily and then take off the jacket once the car has warmed up.
  4. Like the person who starts the car and then immediately backs out without even bothering to turn around and look? I love those people.
  5. I went to the WWII museum in New Orleans this summer. All I could think while going through the Pacific Ocean portion of the museum is how so little of that half of the war is taught. School pretty much just mentioned Pearl Harbor and then jump to the bombs, nothing in between. There was some truly brutal stuff on display at that museum.
  6. My wife has pulled a ton of recipes off of pinterest. So I'm cool with it.
  7. In my mind, the consolation point is actually the one awarded to the shootout winner. Those games are just ties with an additional bonus point awarded. But that is a rant for another thread/board.
  8. They have outscored their opponent only once so far in 17 games. That is impressively bad.
  9. I love this idea.
  10. I go by avatar. How can you not? We have such a simple setup here (and thank god for it) that they really stick out.
  11. I feel like the eye patch might tip her off a bit though. The thought would at least have to cross her mind if she comes across anyone with an eye patch. Surely someone at the prison would have at least mentioned that.
  12. When you say that it won't go over well with some, do you mean viewers or other characters on the show? If it is other characters, does anyone other than Herschel even know about that Carl incident? Either way, I'd call that one a much more sensible case of self-defense than what Carol did. There's a whole lot of gray area with that one. No one knows for sure whether or not that kid was going to try something. With Carol, no matter what her reasoning, we still know what the outcome was going to be. Whether she killed them or not, the flu was still going to spread.
  13. They might be running with the racial angle for the wrong reasons, but to me, that's the most interesting thing about Incognito's rants. I can't picture how Incognito can get away with the racial stuff in that locker room since he's the minority there. He'll never follow up on the threats, so they are nothing more than idiotic ramblings. The racial thing though, I don't know how that doesn't paint Incognito in a horrible light in that locker room.
  14. No they don't. They still count against the cap but. Not the roster limit.
  15. This one probably bugs me more than it would most, but it really is a head scratcher. On my floor here at work, there are two sets of bathrooms. One is at one end of the building and the other on the opposite end. My office is pretty much right in between so I have a 50/50 choice. As you face the doors, one end has the men's room on the left and the women's room on the right. The other end (which I don't use very often) has the men's room on the right. When I first started working here, the first time I went to that second option, I almost walked into the women's room. I don't know if there is any set standard for which room is on which side, but it there should be a standard within a building.
  16. I think the character overload wouldn't be so bad if it was the same characters past and present, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like only Xavier, Magneto, and Wolverine are around at both time points. First Class was very good, but now that they have decided to continue on after the original trilogy, that brings X3 back into the picture. But hey, in a JJ Abrams' Star Trek type way, this one looks to be completely destroying that time line, so I'm cool with that.
  17. Looking over all of the post-lockout drafts, I wouldn't mind the 2nd overall pick one bit. Granted, the fall from Crosby to Bobby Ryan is a big one just like the fall from McDavid may wind up being the same, but there is some prime talent available at #2.
  18. It'll never happen, but I would like to see how long Morgan's defenses would last against a herd like that.
  19. I was wondering how long it would take to mention the Canadian stations. I can't count the number of times I randomly flipped back and forth through the two stations we had hoping for a glimpse.
  20. Something has to come of it. They said the vet clinic they were headed to was 50 miles away. They sure as hell aren't walking back.
  21. If they shut it down, hopefully it is replaced with a sewage processing plant.
  22. I fear for character overload in this one. It almost feels like there should have been one more movie between First Class and this, but I guess Hollywood likes to jump into the deep end quickly now (ie. Batman vs. Superman). I really hope they get this one right though. Anything that removes X3 from memory is good by me.
  23. Do they even know it is a flu at this point? They pretty much have to cover all their bases and get anything they can. But anyway, I could see people in a panic situation like this (as if there would be some realistic panic moment anything like this one) not having any clue what they actually need. But hey, that massive zombie herd was pretty damn cool. There's one thing that could definitely bring down the prison if it ever moved that way.
  24. Who was the first person to ever link to that site? These are the kind of stories that need to be told.
