Dickie V can't still be around right? Ran into him a time or four at the local Dunkin a mile or so north of ESPN just off Middle/King Street. But that was probably more than 30 years ago. At that time he seemed like a dick, giving us plebes stink eye for being at our own Dunkin late night. Real asshole baby. Either way, go Huskies.

Dune part 2: the spoilers must flow (Spoilers for the movies)
mcbigski replied to Kalbear's topic in Entertainment
I'd like to see DV take on the next film in a few years. He's shown enough respect for the source material imo. Overall I loved part 2. Do wonder if youre not quite familiar with the book, how much didnt make much sense. And the sound level was too high across the board at the theater I saw it at. Not sure there needs to be a rush about Children of Dune yet though. Give it a few years. -
Haven't really thought about booking any place to stay, but might take the day off and drive up to the Adirondacks or northern VT. Just have a tailgate in the middle of no and where.

I'm all in and going to see part 2 when it comes out. But from that trailer, there was a little much of an Jamiroquai moment when Paul starts moon dancing or whatever.

I know. Robert Downey Jr couldn't wait to stop having 8 figures thrown at him every few years.

Not sure if I got the rec from here or from one of my friends, but out of the 50 or so plus kindle unlimited you might like this offered, I started Blind Sight last night. Quite engrossing. Only about 40% through, so minor spoiler if does it even need a tag, on the birthday thing at least, I've pretty much agreed with Siri since I was about 14, and it got worse in the online era.

Looking forward to it. Also saw the summary of what David Lynch had planned. Not hewing to cannon, but had potential. Definitely enjoyed the wrestler pic.

There's got to be a name for this. Had no Kahlua left but still wanted a big lebowski sort of drink. So I substituted Chambord for Kahlua. Creamy raspberry epic.

OK that may not be a small stuff thread idea. Was their in May, and didn't even really know about any of that history there before April last. Gorgeous site though. And very richly endowed with history. -

PFE and MRNA are uncommonly ethical companies that look to make their end users better off. Would never push a product without long term definitive proof that their end user stab partners are getting a positive health tradeoff. I apologize for saying something that could, however wrongly, be interpreted to imply that they would ever suborn regulators to sell a harmful product that everyone, literally everyone, should have to take. Inconceivable.

Yeah just ripped out a fairly dolorous version of not as good as I once was at karaoke. Not quite like late Johnny Cash would have done but did my best to honor. -
I'm sure all just retirement and turnover not cardio clotting or turbo cancers decreasing nurse supply or increasing demand.

There was still too much snow on the ground to play the temporary greens today even though I picked up my new irons yesterday. Hopefully get out there Saturday before the rain. Should be highs of 50 the next three days before snow again next week.
