Wet Hot American Summer?

I'm going to check that out with the wife. I need my own show.

Deadwood any good? Boardwalk Empire?

jfc- seriously?

 

[El Floppo]

I've never owned a car. sounds tedious.

This is the most obnoxious New Yorker thing you could have said here. Congrats.

oh... I can think of much more obnoxious New Yorker things I could say.

 

[El Floppo]

Is Son of Anarchy the one about the vampires?

I believe you are thinking of Interview With a Vampire.

This one?

edit to add the 9 hour version wtf.

I lied. I just sat here trying to think of some and I really can't.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Starting up Sons of Anarchy. Seems pretty stupid so far, but possibly entertaining.

You poor dumb *******

This from a guy that recommended Trailer Park Boys to me. You owe me two hours of my life back.

The show is a lot more than 2 hours. You didn't like it?

I bet there's something about pizza dough or bagels and New York water that would fit the bill.

I thought that was SF with the whole sourdough angle...

NYC tap water snobbery is

 

[bentley]

Boardwalk Empire is damn good.

Agree. Great opening theme, too.

 

[El Floppo]

NYC tap water snobbery is

but it is sooooooooooo delicious.

 

[bentley]

Pretty good schtick in my SF hotel a couple weeks ago. There was a sign in the room that said that the city water was so good that they don't make bottled water available in the room.

I guess nobody ever told them that people drink bottled water in hotels because of the disgusting glasses not the water quality.

I understand. Our gigantic, tasty oysters and regional foods like po'boys and crawfish etoufee are tasty, too, and we get really uppity about them. I can see how your tap water would be similar.

 

[General Malaise]

Deadwood? More like overratedwood.

I got through 1.6 seasons and stopped for some reason. Feel like I saw enough. Liked it...didn't love it.

Better than Madmen, though.

I'm glad somebody finally gets it.

I think this Ronda Rousey is up to something.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Depending on where you live (an insurance) there should be a pediatric optometrist (ologist?) in most cities.

I think there's probably at least a couple in NYC.

looks like our 4yo might have vision problems.

anybody have to deal with this?

How bad? What are the issues?

My 3 yo has had glasses for over a year now and we have to patch 4 hours per day. Shuke's daughter also had some issues

dunno yet. she saw her doctor a few days ago, but couldn't figure out the eye test (according to my wife).

made me realize that I've seen her squinting at things and acting as if she doesn't understand what I'm pointing at while trying to read her a book. also made me think that it's been harder to get her to recognize letters and numbers than it was for her older brother.

wife gave her an at-home eye test and she had trouble reading the 2nd line from 10 feet (our son read all the lines without problem).

we're trying to get her in to a specialist- but our insurance sucks.

Depending on where you live (an insurance) there should be a pediatric optometrist (ologist?) in most cities. Obviously with these things the earlier the better. My boy is far sighted and it's just one of those things where he gets glasses and it could fix itself over time, or he just wears glasses and gets lasik when old enough.

If it's similar, you'll find that they love wearing the glasses b/c it helps them see so much better. Good luck

We're in NYC, so tons of doctors. But only one that takes our insurance... first available appointment is in October- no joke.

I've also noticed with books and ipad that she holds them a lot closer than seems necessary (to me).

But no stigma to us about this- we want to make sure she gets the help she needs.

and I keep thinking of the video of the toddler getting glasses- fighting them off at first and then just beaming with joy when it realizes that it can see clearly for the first time.

Honestly, the most difficult part was picking them out at the glasses store...but he was 1ish then, so he didn't want anything on his face. I would imagine easier with a 3 yo

I hear ya about the appt. We only have 2 in the city, takes forever to get one

So, no draft?

Swearengen + Wu =

Most effective use of profanity in television history imo. (Other than maybe BB's 1 f-word/season).

Could we take the minivan to a scrip club? You bet your whiteassssssssss we could! I know this thing is perfect for mormon families or families where the dad is too dumb to pull out, but really, this thing would be badasssssssss as a bro-mobile. Tailgating, whoring around, whatever. Chicks love guys with big cars.

If you have the sunroof, its also great for shooting jackrabbits in the desert while cranking the Sirius xm on your super sweet stereo

Thinking about an Infiniti, but don't want to end up a dad of twins.

I can't comment on the first 2 so I'll take your word for it

Hannibal is also pretty terrible...I may give True Blood the nod because a few early seasons were decent though

Also I Watched a Hannibal episode with wife the other night...it really is as awful as I remembered. Why is there always someone playing a xylophone or something in the background

Got a job offer to go be the vp of sales for a 60 million dollar company tonight. The problem? Pay is about 15% less then immediate "yes" territory and I would start off working from home (which scares my wife since the last time I worked solo was when I had my own business which ended badly). Should be very excited and celebrating but I'm not.

That was mean. Sorry. What I should have said was I'm too drunk to get it.
