    A Discovery of Witches

    Unless I've missed it, this series has gone undiscussed here. My wife and I have watched all 25 episodes 4 times now and it's easily one of our all time favorite shows. It wouldn't appeal to most here but I'd think it would appeal greatly to fans of Hallmark movies that are also fans of urban...

    RIP: Willie Garson (1964-2021)

    Willie Garson, 57, has passed away. He'd been battling cancer but cause of death hasn't been released. He was a popular guest star on Sex and the City but I especially liked him on White Collar. His character, Mozzie, made the show AFAIC. Anyway, RIP Willie.

    RIP: Kenny Rogers (1938-2020)

    Kenny Rogers passed away last night from natural causes, he was 81. I was a huge fan of his music back in the 60's when he and a few others left The New Christy Minstrels to form Kenny Rogers & The First Edition and continued to listen to his stuff when he went country. R.I.P Kenny, thanks...

    Help: ID this Martial Artists movie

    I watched something a few years back that I'd like to see again. I was heavily narcoticized at the time and had also gone about 3 days without sleep. I remember so very little about it other than it kept my interest. It started out with a 19th century clan trying to eradicate every last...

    Technical Fouls

    We've been at or near the top of total technicals earned for a few years now, what is up? This year we have 61 technicals (I don't think that even includes the 2 we earned today) and our nearest competitor has 51. We no longer have the twins to blame this on and I doubt the number is...

    2nd Half of the Season?

    What do you realistically hope to see in the second half of the season? For me, I'm hoping to see Len, Warren and Chriss all play close to 30 minutes a game and I'd also like to see legit backup roles for Ulis, Jones, Williams and even Bender if his recovery progresses well enough. I know...

    The Great Tacos as a Religion Debate

    I certainly am. It's based on who eats the most tacos, right? Or do they consider secondary factors such as how many times you've cleared Metroid? Either way, I'm a lock.

    R.I.P. Leon Russell

    Leon Russell died quietly in his sleep this morning, he was 74. This man was involved in the careers of so many through the years. I first learned of him when I was an early teen listening to Gary Lewis and the Playboys but he produced, wrote, played and sang with and for some of the greatest...

    R.I.P Leonard Cohen

    Leonard Cohen passed away today at the age of 82. Not too long ago he sent a letter to his longtime friend and muse, Marianne (So Long Marianne, Bird on the Wire were both about her), shortly before she passed telling her he'd be joining her soon. He was right. I've been a fan of his ever...

    PJ Back Surgery

    I'm surprised there's no thread on this but apparently PJ will be out for at least 6 weeks following surgery on his lower back. He had a micro-discectomy earlier today.

    Home Delivery Meal Kits

    Has anyone tried any of the meal kits? We're trying Blue Apron and Hello Fresh starting this week but I'm curious to see if anyone else has gone this route. We've signed up for 3 meals a week for 2 people from each service and we've offset the delivery dates so we won't have a problem should...

    Jack Haley

    Wow. Another still young former basketball player just passed away. Jack Haley was 51. He's best known as Rodman's buddy but those of us that watched basketball back then surely remember him as a Rambis-like enforcer. Far too many former NBA players have passed recently, makes you wonder...

    RIP: Elizabeth Pena (1959-2014)

    I was surprised and saddened to learn that one of my favorite character actresses passed away today. I loved her in Lone Star and La Bamba. RIP Elizabeth Pena.

    No Palmer today

    Well, this sucks. Carson's shoulder will keep him from playing today. Stanton will start. Steve

    Free Agent Value

    Ignoring the Lebron circus, who do you think made the best and worst FA deals this offseason? I know it's not quite over yet but so far, I'd rank the best this way: 1. Lance Stephenson - Head case, incredible all around player. It's a short enough deal and a small enough contract that it...

    The Carbonaro Effect

    My wife and I get a kick out of Michael Carbonaro's new show. It's a hidden camera/magician show that's very entertaining. I'm not a huge fan of hidden camera shows especially since so many of the reactions are staged but this one seems to be legit and his tricks are pretty clever and often...

    Medicinal Marijuana questions

    I have a longtime friend with a problem; he's an incomplete quad that is going to have to start taking Percocet regularly for at least a few months. He's concerned about the impact on his bowels (justifiably) so I suggested the possibility of smoking pot instead. It didn't take us long to rule...

    Best NFL Pregame Show?

    I know we all have our favorite. Right now, mine is the pregame show on CBS Sports. It's called "That Other Pregame Show" and it's at the head of the class by a long shot IMO. In fact, it's right up there with my favorite NFL show of all time that used to run on Fox Sports. I think it was...

    Find a positive

    Find one positive comment to make about a Phoenix player that you typically post negatives about. Not a back-handed compliment but a real positive. I'll start with Kendall Marshall. I like the way he keeps his head in the game when he's on the bench. I've passed along second hand comments...

    Dumb TV Commercials

    I just watched the "I ate the bones" commercial for KFC that's been getting a lot of playtime and it reminded me of all the really stupid advertisement ideas we've seen through the years. Why in the world would you want to make 8 year old kids afraid of eating chicken (mommy, why is that man...

    Rockets @ Suns Game thread 3-09-13

    This has actually been a fairly entertaining game so far. We have a 2 point lead late in the 3rd despite missing our big men. Steve

    Reg Presley RIP

    Unless I missed it, no one has mentioned that Reg Presley, the lead singer/songwriter for the classic 60's garage/protopunk band, The Troggs passed away on February 4th, 2013. The Troggs are best known for Wild Thing (written by Chip Taylor whose real name is Jim Voight, brother of Jon) but...

    Can't use Smilies

    Every now and then I lose the ability to use the regular (non-premium) Emoticons listed under (More). I can click on the option but the window never appears. When it happens, it usually lasts for a few weeks and then I'll inexplicably be able to use them again. I suspect it's something to do...

    Bulls @ Suns Game Thread 01-12-13

    I'm trying to keep up with this Suns game, the Wildcats playing @ OSU and the OT game between the Broncos and the Ravens. My remote control is getting a workout, fortunately I'm recording all three for easy viewing later. Right now, Suns are up 1 at the end of the quarter. Scola has started...

    Suns @ Nets 01-11-13

    Suns are now 1 - 10 during this 29 game stretch. Any bets on whether it's 1 - 11 after this game? Steve
