Nope. I imagine there’s a crap ton of US bees that Canada doesnt get as well. Its all in the distribution and how much companies want to pay for it.
It’s the bees knees? 😉

Hey, look – a new unshow!
Lorde’s version of “Everybody Wants to rule the World” has to be in the running for worst cover song ever ever
Proof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaVA6sgOpws&feature=kp
… and yet, Post Modern Jukebox’ version of Lorde’s “Royals” has to be one of the best covers ever!
Now THATS irony.
Wait is that irony?

I started listening to “The British History Podcast” recently. It’s pretty good.
A podcast on British History or a British podcast about history??
This is an EX-PODCAST!!
More seriously: it is about British history.
Hmmmmmmm…. you had me at “more”
A history of British podcasting doesn’t sound very interesting. Except the bits about Vanamonde, of course.
Ditto will soon know the difference between Roundhead and Cavalier.
Are those fellatio terms?
Now THAT would be Terms of Endearment!

Does anyone else think that Mylie’s face in Pixie’s link looks like she’s imitating Bill Cosby?
I dont know why I replied to ditto with this but oddly it fits…
I have to wonder if Ms. Cyrus is ignoring her publicist or if she’s actually paying someone who is advising her to participate in these antics.
“Miley, bu-bala! Listen, you want people to stop thinking of you as a teen star? Ya gotta give your vagina more stage time!

http://pitchfork.com/news/54568-the-flaming-lips-releasing-companion-album-to-pink-floyds-the-dark-side-of-the-moon/
That’s how I feel about The Flaming Lips in general. I could never get into the band.
There’s just a point…. “hey not only are we gonna re-record a classic, but we’re making a record that, in order to fully appreciate it, has to be played side by side with Dark Side of the Moon”. Boo.
If I liked the band more, I’d mind the stunt less.
Do we say kudos for messing with the artform – – or boo for using one of the best albums ever recorded as part of a publicity stunt?
That’s a great question. And you really do pose another good one – if we liked the band doing this would we be more apt to put on rosier glasses?
I don’t think so.
Covering a song from Dark Side is maybe, sort of, kind of a fun thing to hear your favorite band do at a concert.
Them doing the entire album is simply a cry for record sales.
It says, “we are out of original stuff that will make us money and aren’t even going to try.”
This is worse. This says, “Because coming up with an original concept album that people will revere for generations to come is so hard to do, we are just going to take an existing album like that and IMPROVE on it by playing along with it! Because clearly, our playing along with it is what it has lacked all of these years.”

Bad news.
The A/C in the Honda seems to need maintenance. Feels cool at idle but gets warm when running.
Good news.
The most likely cause would be a clogged condensate line that could fixed cheap and easy.
Bad news.
Or the A/C compressor went out which could cost $1200 to replace.
Good news.
Repair man confirms the A/C works perfectly.
Bad news.
There is no coolant in the radiator, causing the engine to overheat. The overheating engine was overloading the A/C.
Good news.
A pressure check confirmed no leaks in the radiator.
Bad news.
There is a crack in the engine block leaking coolant. The engine needs to be replaced.
Good news.

Make up your mind.

That song is supposedly based on a real experience the Toadies’ female bassist had at some party. Eek.
I heard that too but its been debunked. Its actually a made up story that the singer based on neighborhood gossip (and its a sequel to the song ‘I Burn’). There’s a WONDERFUL 15 minute documentary that was filmed in 1993 while recording the album… if you have the time.

Your crap joke for the evening:
A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it.Later they get together.
The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion.”…
“I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister, “and preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.
”They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. “Looking back,” he says, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.”

Ditto, do you have music playing 24/7?
I can’t even recall when the last time we heard from you, here in DP Land.
Work is keeping me insanely busy lately. But I generally always have music playing.
I thought you had that audio love note I sent you constantly playing…
Somehow, between the hours of 0000-0300, Miley Cyrus made an appearance in my already strangely surreal dream.
I don’t really recall much and I think I am still scarred for life…
That was just me twerking around the bedroom. Sorry.

So, last night I watched ep 2 from Orphan Black. I really like the show so far. And Felix is a hoot.
Me LOVES Felix. He’s brilliant.
(Can you tell the sun has come out here? Everything good is BRILLIANT!)
Everybody talks about her acting–it is awesome–but he is fantastic too.
J0e, are you peddling Guinness?
THAT would be BRILLIANT!
What surprises me is how subtly Canadian the show is. I haven’t heard people do the whole “yeah” thing in years. It’s sort of an alternate “eh?”.

Crap joke, the difference between men and women:
Let’s say a guy named Fred is attracted to a woman named Martha. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else.
And then, one evening when they’re driving home, a thought occurs to Martha, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: “Do you realize that, as of tonight, we’ve been seeing each other for exactly six months?”
And then, there is silence in the car.
To Martha, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he’s been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I’m trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn’t want, or isn’t sure of.
And Fred is thinking: Gosh. Six months.
And Martha is thinking: But, hey, I’m not so sure I want this kind of relationship either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I’d have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily towards, I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?
And Fred is thinking: …so that means it was…let’s see…February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer’s, which means…lemme check the odometer…Whoa! I am way overdue for an oil change here.
And Martha is thinking: He’s upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I’m reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment; maybe he has sensed – even before I sensed it – that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that’s it. That’s why he’s so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He’s afraid of being rejected.
And Fred is thinking: And I’m gonna have them look at the transmission again. I don’t care what those morons say, it’s still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It’s 87 degrees out, and this thing is shifting like a garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves $600.
And Martha is thinking: He’s angry. And I don’t blame him. I’d be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can’t help the way I feel. I’m just not sure.
And Fred is thinking: They’ll probably say it’s only a 90-day warranty…scumballs.
And Martha is thinking: Maybe I’m just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I’m sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, a person who seems to truly care about me. A person who is in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy.
And Fred is thinking: Warranty? They want a warranty? I’ll give them a warranty. I’ll take their warranty and stick it right up their…
“Fred,” Martha says aloud.
“What?” says Fred, startled.
“Please don’t torture yourself like this,” she says, her eyes beginning to brim with tears. “Maybe I should never have…oh dear, I feel so…”(She breaks down, sobbing.)
“What?” says Fred.
“I’m such a fool,” Martha sobs. “I mean, I know there’s no knight. I really know that. It’s silly. There’s no knight, and there’s no horse.”
“There’s no horse?” says Fred.
“You think I’m a fool, don’t you?” Martha says.
“No!” says Fred, glad to finally know the correct answer.
“It’s just that…it’s that I…I need some time,” Martha says.
(There is a 15-second pause while Fred, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work.)
“Yes,” he says. (Martha, deeply moved, touches his hand.)
“Oh, Fred, do you really feel that way?” she says.
“What way?” says Fred.
“That way about time,” says Martha.
“Oh,” says Fred. “Yes.” (Martha turns to face him and gazes deeply into his eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a horse. At last she speaks.)
“Thank you, Fred,” she says.
“Thank you,” says Fred.
Then he takes her home, and she lies on her bed, a conflicted, tortured soul, and weeps until dawn, whereas when Fred gets back to his place, he opens a bag of Doritos, turns on the TV, and immediately becomes deeply involved in a rerun of a college basketball game between two South Dakota junior colleges that he has never heard of. A tiny voice in the far recesses of his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he would ever understand what, and so he figures it’s better if he doesn’t think about it.
The next day Martha will call her closest friend, or perhaps two of them, and they will talk about this situation for six straight hours. In painstaking detail, they will analyze everything she said and everything he said, going over it time and time again, exploring every word, expression, and gesture for nuances of meaning, considering every possible ramification.
They will continue to discuss this subject, off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions, but never getting bored with it either.
Meanwhile, Fred, while playing racquetball one day with a mutual friend of his and Martha’s, will pause just before serving, frown, and say: “Norm, did Martha ever own a horse?”
And that’s the difference between men and women.

Your crap joke for this lazy Saturday morning:
Ted and his wife were working in their garden one day when Ted looks over at his wife and says: “Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big! I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue.”
With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife’s bottom.
“Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!!”
The wife chooses to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, Ted is feeling a little frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.
“What’s wrong?” he asks.
She answers: “Do you really think I’m going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie?”
….and as a bonus:
A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a £20 note fell out onto the pavement.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, “Ma’am, there are £20 notes falling out of that bag.”
“Oh, really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer.
“Well, now, not so fast,” said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?”
“Oh, no, no”, said the old lady. “You see, my back yard is right next
to a Golf course. A lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the best of it?’
So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, ‘O.K., buddy!
Give me £20, or off it comes!’
“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop, laughing. “OK. Good luck!
Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?”
“Not everybody pays.”

Congrats to the Avs 50 win season and to Varley’s 40 wins. Dunno how this team is doing it with an entire top line gone and a shotty defense.
Judging the movie on its own merits, completely dismissing my thoughts on the author and the book I read 20 years ago, I’ve determined that Enders Game is crap.
Don’t hold back now, tell us how you really think.
I had a tad bit of wine while watching the movie & I didnt like the ending
I did enjoy the book, sans the ending. Not enough to continue with the series, but enough that I might have recommended it to a teenage reader.
The movie just failed to make me give a shit about the characters or to get me into the vague action scenes. The game scenes were kinda cool, but could have been riveting. Ditto (not ditto) for the battle scenes.
There’s my longer review. :metal:
We finally rented it a few weeks ago. It felt like a cliff notes version of the story, at best. Such a waste.
So heading home after seeing ‘Divergent’ at the flicks.
Not too shabby.
Strange thing about the upcoming film trailers, each film trailer had a different actor from Game of Thrones .
Speaking of Game of Thrones…

Got excited when the forecasts predicted 10 inches?

Done! er or something. Guess I won’t be wearing the kilt to any upcoming DP functions. I’ll definitely give this album a spin.
Not sure how the album reply made it here, but there you go.
Or so GRR Martin would have us believe….I think he’s just trying to tell us it will be a cold day in hell by the time he’s finished writing it.
Maybe he means nuclear winter, after he just kills off every character in one fell swoop.

I had no idea the Annabelle doll was “real.”
I saw a movie that featured the dybbuk box. Like you, I thought it was just a story
I dunno about any of that… but I clearly remember the U.S. being in the grips of a George Dybbuk Bush box a while ago
That’s the most terrifying curse imaginable.
While we won’t be able to see it until tomorrow, tonight Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is on. Without getting into spoilers, I wonder how the events in Captain America will affect the show.
I was wondering the same thing.
Man I understand the tv/movie crossover but I hate that they do it. Usually I cant see the film until it comes to the dollar theater, so Im constantly avoiding for a couple months.
Didn’t that happen last week?, the guy captured on the ship at the beginning of the film is seen leaving for the ship in the TV series.
What did I just say about having no idea for a couple months?
Well since you haven’t seen the film you won’t have a clue what I was talking about.
Well, they weren’t kidding when they said that the new Captain America movie changes everything about Agents of SHIELD.
This was definitely a well planned overall story line on Marvel’s part. And, really, with the whole nature of the new movie, the series would have to be impacted.
Overall, it was pretty masterfully done.
Oh, and Cap was excellent, btw. I have to chuckle at the predictions that this one was going to be a financial dissapointment compared to Avengers and Iron Man 3.
So do I need to skip this week’s episode until I have seen the movie?
Not really, just go with the flow.
Of course the film bad gas organisation will be spoilt for you.
Who predicted that? Dumb.
What a cool idea. Some of these are fantastic:

Not really sure.

Well before the beer festival, I shall be seeing this film at the flicks:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day_(film)
Sometimes, you just need a film with a happish sort of ending.
Hear Hear!
(was this that film?)
Yup.
It can’t all be existential angst. Or super-powered beings wrecking cities.
Morning Pan!
Time to hit the shower.
The fan in our washroom is dying a slow and painful death (and noisy). Hubby and I will have to replace it this weekend.
So, it had been voted that we’d all partake in an NHL playoff hockey challenge, in addition to the Olympics challenge. . .
Of course, we still have some Olympic debt payments pending. I don’t want anyone to feel pressured or burdened. Of course my vote is to play again – – but I’m also ok if others want to let it go.
I’m game. If Ess wants the Avs she can have em! Ladies first!
Second payoff still in works…
What a gentleman. I don’t need the Avs – assign me anyone!
No hurries. Your delay keeps me off the hook. 😀
Zing! Thru the 5 hole
Add me to the hockey pool.
OH REEALY?

Talking with a work colleague today who just come back from months on the sick.
Turn out he had colon cancer, it was only discovered early enough to be operable because the tumour was pressing on his appendix.
Also turns out he almost had his appendix out as a child, but the infection died down and it wasn’t removed.
Makes me almost believe in fate, almost…
Careful… that fate thing is a slippery slope to nowhere.

Morning Pan.
The birds outside are quite noisy this morning. Hubby days it’s because the squirrels are trying to catch them to eat but I have my doubts
What the hell kind of carnivorous squirrels do you have in Canada?
Since our rabbits are cute and cuddly, we have to make up the bloodthirstyness with squirrels. 😉
You shouldn’t believe all you see in that Monty Python film.

Well, finished the audio edits I wanted to get done for today. Now it’s time to clean the washroom. Then accounting. I’d say I’m glad it’s the weekend but I will be putting in some work time this weekend too.
So, I found out I will be meeting mom’s boy toy in May. He and my uncle are coming out to pack up the last of my grandmother’s things. The upside is, mom won’t be coming out, just her boyfriend.
It will be interesting to meet him. However, as I’m sure most of you have figured out, diplomacy is not exactly my strong suit. I am under orders from hubby to behave and not say anything snarky. HA!
If he doesn’t meet your approval, then set the squirrels on him.
Off to lunch with my Boo. They’re buying a house so she wants to ask me a whole bunch of questions.

The Shatner version of Common People is an all-time favorite of mine.
CW: Sita Sings the Blues. Definitely different. It’s a bit hard to get into at first, but there are some really interesting animation styles as it progresses.

The Avs have had an amazing season. Who would have predicted they’d be one of the top overall teams?
I will cheer ’em on, although I will probably adopt St. Louis from the West, and Columbus in the East.
St. Louis… that name no longer has any meaning to me
Not Martin…
I’ve chosen those 2 because they’ve never won shit.
Just finished watching Knights of Badassdom. It was a fun movie
Well not a night that went as planned in hockeyville, but Avs can still get 2nd overall in the West with a win tomorrow.

Your crap joke for the day:
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40..

Wow, Ed and Jen, you are now the parents of a teenager. May God have mercy on your souls.

I’m out of date due to work. Have we decided anything about the hockey pool?
I’m in, and a few others have expressed interest. We can probably do something low-key.
I guess I better play the good Canadian and snag Montreal for my Stanley Cup team.
And, since we always seem to have more teams than participants, as a second, I’ll also grab St. Louis

Thanks for sharing — that was pretty beautiful. Classy move to pull Giggy out to celebrate with him. (Since and Giguere won a Stanley Cup together in Anaheim)
Agreed. Teemu didnt exactly have a memorable time when he played here, but always respected and liked that guy. Was super happy when he and Giggy won the cup
This is The Voice!
Smooth. Like butta.
BTW – Watched the “Popeye” movie the other night. I can see why the general public panned it.
It was very slow paced and odd. In other words, faithful to the original cartoon. Which was also not universally loved.
Masterfully done, great sets and costumes and “felt” very often like one was watching the cartoon.
Absolutely wonderful performance as Olive Oil. She had two songs that were great and I still find myself chuckling over “laaaarge”.
Somehow they managed to be Deadpan and slapstick all at the same time.
I find I like it a lot better a day or two after having watched it.
Maybe we should Palooza this summer.

So, my work has been ditto’s-job-like lately, and I haven’t had time to corral Deadpan hockey playoff interest together. Sorry!
Since the playoffs start tomorrow, we should make team declarations fibal and choose some manageable consequences for defeat.
Listen to a song?
Watch a specific movie?
Make/find and eat a food dish appropriate to the victor’s region?
Take a pic of/some item?
As I said, I’ll take Montreal and St. Louis.
If people start posting their teams/punishments, I can track them like I did the olympics.
I think I’ll have to sit this out. I don’t want to commit to something that I won’t have the time for. 🙁
Unacceptable!
Seriously, ditto, we’ll be gentle with the flakeshame, if you really want to play, but will be late with your payment. Heck, some people still haven’t paid up from the Olympics. . . .

Looking forward to the Ducks vs. Avs for Western Conf title!
Aye!
I’ll take Boston and/or Dallas. I’m good with the consequences Jack posts above. I’m rooting for the Avs, obviously!
ditto on the consequences. I’ll take the Avs, then and Pittsburgh in the east if theres enough teams
We have to do ditto if our team loses? I don’t think T-Cat will love that, but a bet’s a bet . . .

I’ll adopt SJ for the tourney – – unless someone else wants them.
If Columbus goes unclaimed, then I’ll own them in the East. For 4 games, at least.
So guys, it’s nice you say you’re ok with Jack’s consequences but, I need you to choose a song/movie/food for your opponent to listen/watch/eat should they lose to you.
For Example:
If Montreal wins my opponent will have to do one of the following:
Eat: Poutine
Movie: Bon Cop, Bad Cop (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479647/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
Song: The Genesis Explosion by Dead Brain Cells
Picture: a photoshopped version of Bonhomme
Unlike deep fried mars bars, poutine is something I would like to try.
Believe it or not, I’ve never actually tried poutine
I could go for a nice Rappie Pie
She’s right, you know.
San Jose:
Food: An Italian pasta dish. (I ate lots of Italian food with my aunt and uncle during my first trip to SJ).
Song: “Red Seas, Black Sea” by Shearwater.
Movie: Choke.

CHI over STL in 6
NY over PHI in 7
BOS over DET in 4
MTL over TB in 6
CBJ over PIT in 7 (gotta pick 1 upset)
Ooh! Its hot CHL second round action between the Cutthroats and Sundogs!
Colorado:
Food (I wont do Rocky Mountain Oysters) but I will do a Colorado brew of your choosing
Movie: things to DO in Denver When You’re Dead
Song: ‘Colorado’ by Slapstick
Picture: You posing in the form of the letter ‘C’
“And while we’re at it”
COL over MIN in
ANA over DAL in 6
LA over SJ in 6
CHI over STL in 7
PHI over NY in 7
BOS over DET in 5
MTL over TB in 5
PIT over CBJ in 6
Dallas:
Food – a Ribeye (unless your a vegetarian, then have one leaf of iceburg lettuce)
Movie – Boys Don’t Cry
Song – All My Exes Live in Texas – George Strait
Picture – You in either a Stetson or cowboy boots
Boston:
Food – New England Clam Chowder (unless you’re a vegetarian, then eat one can of creamed corn)
Movie – Gone Baby Gone or any Lehane adaptation
Song – Debaser – Pixies
Picture – You drinking a Sam Adams, any Sam Adams
i. fucking. love. debaser.
Fine. I’ll pick Tampa.
I’ll think about consequences later.

Your crap joke for the day:
A 7 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom.
‘You know what?’ says the 7 year old, ‘I think it’s about time we started swearing.’
The 4 year old nods his head in approval.
So the 7 year old says, ‘When we go downstairs for breakfast I’m gonna swear first, then you swear after me, ok?’
‘Ok’ the 4 year old, agrees with enthusiasm.
The mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 7 year old what he wants for breakfast.
‘Oh, shit mum, I don’t know, I suppose I’ll have some Coco Pops’
WHACK!! He flew out of his chair, tumbled across the kitchen floor, got up, and ran upstairs crying his eyes out.
She looked at the 4 year old and asked with a stern voice, ‘ And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?’
‘I don’t know,’ he blubbers, ‘but it won’t be fucking Coco Pops.’

Comic Expo is next week. I’m running out of time to get everything done in time!
Like Carrot Top? Rip Taylor? Bob Saget?
1/2 hour until I have a conference call. Lucky, lucky me.
For the first time in donkey’s years I’m shall not be working the whole of the Easter Weekend.
I shall therefore be in full crowd avoidance mode.
One donkey year is equal to 5 monkey, yes? Or wait no.. vise versa? If it’s technically a mule does that make it a leap ass?
Good on ya, Van! The Easter Bunny can bring you a big colored egg full of Zzzz’s.

Joy. I have an all day conf call to look forward to.
No sympathy from me. Just got back from a trip that was Travel Tuesday evening, Meetings ALL DAY Wednesday and Thursday, meetings half of Friday, then back on a plane Friday afternoon. And Friday was supposed to be a holiday. My mind is like a great big bowl of porridge right now.
I spent all last week in meetings with similar travel arrangements. I can deal with that. I hate having to spend the whole day on the phone. And I wasn’t asking for sympathy.
Wrong terminology on my part. Plenty of sympathy. Plenty of understanding and compassion. I suppose my real message should have been “meetings suck” with a fist held high in the air as a sign of mutual solidarity.

My boss got me in trouble. Hubby sometimes jams with her husband (we were friends before we became workmates). Hubby was at their please yesterday, playing. I guess she told hubby, “tell your wife to stop working on weekends.”
Hubby then came home and gave me heck (nicely) for working on the weekend.
I then contacted my boss and asked her if she wanted this econversion by Thursday or not. She said, “not if it means you’re working on the long weekend”
I love my job
Hubby and I are having a disagreement. We are watching (British) football and he commented on how one of the player is good looking. I told him we obviously have different tastes in men as I didn’t find that player very good looking. Now, every time the commentators talk about that player I comment on how he’s such a poser, pretending he’s so good looking. Hubby’s at the point he now just sighs. :silly:
Said, by the commentator: he likes a variety of positions
From me: he like a variety of positions
Hubby: yes dear *sigh*
😉
I bet he likes the Fullback position.
Silly Jack. They don’t have fullbacks in British football.
Halfback?
Wait a minute!

I stand corrected. I guess I should have asked hubby first before I commented 😉

I later learned that they’d been bought out. I don’t know if this is the reason, but it’s a shame.
Still, I’m intrigued by their GoT gimmick beers.

Was always very lukewarm on this album and the singer’s monobrow. I bought it on the cheap from a bargain bin a few years after its prime. The CD, not the monobrow.
Ha! I did too. To be fair there’s some really great songs (i.e. White, Discussion; Shit Towne) mixed in with the cookie cutter crap. Definitely worth the bargain bin pick up.

Still got it to watch but first the latest Mad Men needs to be watched.

Mad Men has started?
Oh yes.
I’ll have to see if the TiVo got that for me.
I can recall the last 2 seasons starting with a BIG “meh” . Seems like it was 2 or 3 episodes in before I was convinced I would stick out the whole season.
I’d agree with that, J0e, although last season started with “ZoO Bisou Bisou,” and pretty much maintained that high level throughout.

Hours later he comes back and hands her a paper bag. “In it is a “HAM SANDWICH”. She says,” I told you to write it down! You forgot the mustard.”

A guest crap joke of the day that simply proves what an asshat I really am.
We had to have our dog put down yesterday. Sad, but it was the best thing for her. Because we were going to bury her ourselves they put her in a biodegradable bag to take her home. As we were settling the bill up front and waiting for them to finish “packaging” the dog, the receptionist kept looking at us like she was wondering why we weren’t leaving. So, I nonchalantly say to her “they’re making us a doggie bag to take home with us”.

So one of the medicines I am on now (due to that little heart kerfuffle I had) cost me like $64 a month.
I ask the pharmasist if insurance hadn’t covered it and she said they had, the uninsured cost was over $300 !
I was gobsmacked. $300 a month! Before I caught myself, I heard myself asking what people without insurance do? She said, “I guess they don’t get to live as long.”
good grief
actually,
they go to their local ER, get admitted for 3-6 days, get back on meds, tell their doctor/nurse that they will be compliant, get discharged to home and then the cycle begins again in about 20-45 days.
Some do say they have no money for medications, so they are likely provided with local, low cost resources. The cycle still continues
My mother-in-law has been without insurance for most of the 15 years I’ve known her and she has never-ever gone to her local ER and done this.
Does she just go with out meds?
She does. She just applied for Affordable Care and qualified for something. We’ll see how that goes.
Pixie, I had heard that as well.
I understand that one of the reason a hospital stay is so expensive, is that those with insurance are having to cover the expense of those who show up with out it.
Hopefully more will be able to afford insurance now.
Hopefully.
In other news …

So, I haven’t managed to catch up on Orphan Black before the S2 premier. I just watched episode 3 from season 1 last night. I knew where it was going, but I still got shocked by that end. 🙂
I’m making attempt #5 or 6 to watch the movie, GI Joe: Retalliation
I just cant seem to make it through this hunk of stinky cheese
(I use the term, “hunk” purposely)
I liked the tank, that was cool.
Tank? Is there a H.I.S.S. tank?
That WW1 looking contraption the Rock drives.
I’ve not yet had the privilege of partaking in this hunk of a film, so I guess I’ll take your word for it.
If they really wanted to remake the GI Joe of my childhood, they’d have Snake-Eyes’ torso and head separated from his bottom half (due to a snapped rubber band), Cobra Commander missing his thumb, and everyone wishing for the motorized tank, but being told it’s too expensive.
I do have a bit of nonsensical audio for a new post, to end the pain of our page-scrolling. I’d intended to run it last night, but didn’t get a chance. Maybe tonight!
