  1. I get that it was Okada's first PPV match, so there was no way that he was going to lose. But, holy hell, this Pac/Okada thing needs to be a full blown title program. *IF* that Bastard can stay healthy and if he's going to be able to stick around long term.
  2. My twelve year old actually made a pretty funny crack the other day. Just for backstory: The local Starbucks has a massive staff shortage right now, because a bunch of people got fired for abusing their employee discounts and giving it to their friends and family. I took my kids out for tea over the weekend to reward them for helping out with yardwork. We get out drinks and she says "I'm going to work here when I'm old enough, they get to wear those cool shirts and hats." I ask her if she'll give me a discount when she's working there and she says "No, I'm not going to get fired like all the people at Starbucks!"
  3. The wife graduates and gets her Bachelor's degree in less than a month, and she's already got a job lined up for next year. Which means that I can finally (!) drop the PT weekend gig that's been drainging the life out of me since the beginning of the year. She gets paid by her current job through July and will also get the first chunk of her incentive bonus from the new place that month, so I originally decided to hold out until then. But, this past weekend was especially rough, so now I'm hoping I can last that long. I told my cousin that I'm debating using the CM Punk line when I put in my notice and get the inevitable "Why?" "I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm tired..........."
  4. Wheeler Yuta is officially off the CMLL show Friday night, he’s been replaced with Matt Sydal. I would have personally preferred to see Shibata.
  5. We have a pet rabbit, and one of my running jokes is that he's not the pet we need, but he's the one we deserve. The wife was being woken up several times by my snoring last weekend and decided to just go lay on the couch. Well he heard he coming out and decided that it must be food time. So he started kicking his damn cage at 4:30 AM. Only contributing to her irritation and lack of sleep.
  6. That's got to be it then. I distinctly remember watching it on AMC during on overnight shift and when the sentry gun scene came on, the girl I was working with heard all the squealing and asked me WTF I was watching.
  7. For real? I've probably seen that movie 200 times, and that's always been a staple scene for me. I thought the only DC additions were hearing Ripley talk about her daughter and the scene where Newt's father gets facehuggeed.
  8. All the talk, both good and bad, about the Aliens 4K transfer has had me thinking about the movie for the last few days. So, with the rest of the family having gone off to bed, I saw that it was streaming on Max and turned it on. I got most of the way through (up to the pont where Vasquez and Gorman sacrifice themselves in the vent) and realized that I'd missed probably my favorite scene. When they set up the sentry guns and start blowing them away. I thought maybe I'd just been looking at my phone or my mind had wandered and I'd missed it, so I rewound and there's no even a mention of them. The scene when they're looking at the blueprints goes from Ripley seeing the pressure door and suggesting they just weld plate steel over it and repair the barricades. I even found the same scene on YouTube in case I was just misremembering, and nope, there it is. "There's a pressure door, can't we put one of the sentry units there?" In all seriousness, is there really any good reason for this scene getting scrapped? All I can think of is something related to gun violence (which is something I take seriously, as a father and the husband of a school teacher). But look at the movie we're talking about, and it's not like every other bit of shooting and killing was taken out. And it's on HBO for fuck's sake. I even did a google search to see if there was anything posted and I came up empty.
  9. The family has been playing a ton of Disney SpeedStorm lately. It's a fun take on Mario Kart along with various missions and challenges to keep you on your toes and add some replayabilty. We wound up going down a bit of a wormhole with it last night, just as we were thinking of turning it off and doing something else. Here are the sequence of events. I wind up getting a Jasmine shard (used to unlock and upgrade racers) which causes me to grind out a few more tracks to get Jasmine upgraded. With Jasmine upgraded I can now complete a race that requires her at an upgraded level Completion of that race unlocks me Ursulla. Unlocking Ursulla gets us enough collection points to move up to the next level, and be rewarded with unlocking Balloo. All that just from randomly getting an upgrade shartd and deciding to take another ten minutes to get one character upgraded.
  10. So sorry for your loss Curt, I've been there a few times myself and it never gets any easier.
  11. How about Baker Mayfield?
  12. After having a full day to process it, my only real reaction is that whatever Ryan Poles sees in Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or whomever he decides is the Bears QB of the future better live up to those expectations, and then some. Because this is the first big move that Poles has made that has really PO'd a large portion of the fanbase.
  13. This only leaves Chicago with four or five draft picks. Looks like Ryan Poles will be playing chicken with some other GM's to see if they make the right offer for the #1 pick.
  14. I love it that Jay and Gunns are back to being dick heels. I honestly never liked the whole Bang Bang Scissor Gang thing in the first place. The Gunns and Acclaimed had been pretty much joined at the hip for two years now in various forms. When they started putting the boots to Darby and Billy and the Acclaimed hit the ring, I was expecting a massive beatdown by all six to send Darby off. I'm much happier with what happened instead.
  15. Whether they stay with Darnold or try get get someone in the draft, whomever Minnesota keeps at QB just got a big load off their shoulders being able to hand off to him.
