  1. I'd forgotten how annoying Mary Carillo is on commentary.  You'd think Djokovic farted sunshine and Rafael Nadal had never picked up a racket before.  

    Plus she had no idea how to react to Djokovic playing heel to the crowd. And that they DARED to boo him.

    Now we're mining '80s nostalgia in movies again. Snack Shack (which came out earlier this year) did better on the nostalgia front in a similar style IMO.

    To be fair, I think nostalgia is the only card Kev has left in his deck.

  3. Car update!   

    The Dolfan-mobile is on hold at the dealership right now.  The main hangup at this point was their financing was somewhere in the 8.2% range.   I got a promotional offer from Bank of America that got me down to 6.2%(!) on a used car.  (And they were offering 5.9% on a new car!)  

    Have to cross some I's and dot some T's, but I should be on the road very soon.   Thanks for all y'all's advice.

    Lol, you take comic books way too seriously. Though you stopped short of wishing death or some sort of tragedy on Zeb Wells for writing a comic you don’t like.  You’ve done that in the past, so I guess this represents a baby step forward. Congrats.

    Chill the ever living fuck out. 

    Let's not take this any further.

  5. All this energy calling me back where it comes from... It's such a crude attitude, it's back where it belongs....

    Well, we're finally here for the biggest party of the summer!  Mr. Chick Magnet Punk got his clearance, so now he and Drew McIntyre can tear each other apart on Saturday. 

    🎵

    All the little kids growing up on the skids... Go Cleveland rocks! Cleveland rocks!

    Over on the ladies side, Nia Jax has been a menacing specter over Bayley, and Dom has declared his loyalty to Mami.  So, you know things are going great for both of our current champs! 

    🎹

    All the little chicks with the crimson lips, go "Cleveland rocks! Cleveland rocks!" Livin' in sin with a safety pin, she's going...

    Should get our last match set for Brownie Stadium tonight and who knows what other shenanigans will be in store on Friday!  Guess we'll have to wait and see! 

    Oh Cle-e-eveland rocks, yeah, Cl-e-eveland rocks!  So find a place, Grab a space, and yell and scream for more!

    Yes, the original (FAR superior) version for you.

    Dolfan trusting wikipedia over AEW programming about upcoming AEW matches for some reason is really funny to me.

    This also assumes Dolfan watches AEW every week and doesn't just catch up later because he's usually busy on Wednesdays. 

    And Wiki got updated last night, so we're updated. 

    In general if one is ever are asked, what is something the internet actually gets right... it's probably Wikipedia. Here's a repository of human knowledge that can be updated by any person at all, in real time. Everything, absolutely everything, we've seen over the last twenty five years indicates that there's no way this thing should work.  But generally, there's no better source of high-level information about anything you can possibly think of, than Wikipedia. 

    To paraphrase Die Hard....  You ask the internet for miracles... I give you Wikipedia.

  7. Alright, this is quickly becoming the de facto biggest card of the year for AEW, and we're officially one month out...  So let's get the thread started.

    it appears that the benches cleared today in Denver after the Rockies pitcher (Cal Quantrill, son of Paul) yelled at Red Sox catcher/convicted public masturbator Reese McGuire "You jacked off in a fucking parking lot, you dumb fuck"

    I mean, I'd get pissed off too if I got called out for cruising for gay sex.  (That's 100% what he was doing for the record.)

    Isn’t this rumored to be a musical?  The trailers don’t indicate that at all.

    "Musicals don't sell."   That's been the Hollywood law since the 60's.  He's singing a couple of bars here and there.  And it's been confirmed by multiple sources that it's a jukebox musical, with about 15 covers.  No originals. 

  10. So, quick confession here.  I'm 48 and I've never owned a car. I am licensed and can drive, but I've actually never bought or owned one in my name.

    I'm probably grabbing one this weekend (maybe this one?), but a couple of questions for y'all, since I'm assuming I'm the weird one for never having done this before.

    1) Own vs. Lease - The car above is nice and decently low mileage, and above all the monthly will be under $400 which is where I'd like it to be.  However, they've got a lease incentive with a new car that would come in even cheaper.  Since I'm planning to use this to drive around up in the Catskills and back to the city, does it make sense to go for a new leased car or a relatively lightly-used ownership?   I know the benefit of leasing is I can change it up for a new one in a couple of years, but aside from my parents leasing their cars, I'm not sure which one is better to do.

    2) I know about gap insurance and think it's relatively worthless on a used car, but am I wrong in thinking so? 

    3) Is an extended warranty worth it? 

    4) I've got a pre-approval from my bank on a car loan and a pretty good APR, can I use this to leverage the dealership to give me a better rate?  I've been told the price may change based on whether or not I use their financing.  But I figured if they're offering 8.5% and I've got a 6.5% letter in my hand, it may be worth it? 

    5) Anything else I should look out for?  Bait and switch, new random fees, etc? 

    6) Last, is there any real difference between AWD and 4WD?

    Thanks in advance y'all.

  11. Apparently this has something to do with The Daily Beast outing someone during the Rio Games:

    ...that said, there are like 10 different hook up apps for the athletes and I'll bet they didn't block them all.
