I was a a bit off. Wrong jacket, tag from 3rd model, tag shows incorrect color and size but the jacket is actually the correct color and size. The jacket was sold by Amazon but the other 2 items in my order were fulfilled by Amazon. I guess someone returns a different but similar item on purpose and Amazon just sends it through without looking? This is super exciting stuff so had to update.

Didn't watch one second of football today. Sure as hell didn't spend my free time watching Twilight crap

I did watch an episode of Gilmore Girls

That's supposed to be pretty good.  Is it?  

Wife and I started watching This Is Us the other day.  It's not too bad.  Reminds me of a better version of Parenthood, which she enjoyed.  

 
I finally got around to watching The Force Awakens.  I made it about halfway through and fell asleep.  Not sure I'll ever finish it.  The bad guy was more Rick Moranis from Space Balls than he was Darth Vader.  The robot was too cutesy and the brewing romance (not sure if it got there or not) between the chick with the British accent and the black fake stormtrooper was forced.  Pretty fortuitous for the Falcon to get tractor beamed up to Han Solo.  The monsters chasing all of them inside the Falcon is where I went curtains.

But I will admit that I chuckled once or twice at what I watched yesterday. I'm sure there are worse things on TV,

 
Well, apparently teh Facebooks updated a setting so I now get an e-mail whenever any friend of mine updates their status.  Neat. :loco:

 
My phone's data plan has unlimited data, but only the first 5GB is high speed. After that it's only 2G. This is the first time I've gone over 5GB. I have 3 days left in my billing cycle. This could be a long 3 days.

simple you just get a Sling box, Roku, a wifi hotspot, four 9-volt batteries, a UHF/VHF switch and connect it to a 2 stroke engine, plugged in to a 220 outlet that's powered by a solar panel attached to the drone your wife is buying you for Christmas and make sure it's flown between 200 - 225 feet for maximum signal.

i don't get why old people can't figure out technology, it's so simple  #millenials :hot:

 
Ok, the roller derby chick with the mole seems HAF, but if they play this Toyota commercial again, I'm gonna almost quit watching.  

Also, not sure how I feel about Metallica pimping their new album on MNF.

That ad makes no sense. The only people we see driving the car are bad at their jobs (the chef), bad drivers (the one who can't keep the car from crossing the center line), or bad at sports (I presume the roller derby team lost or why would they be singing "You don't own me".)

Meanwhile, the cyclists and the basketball team are nowhere near the inside of a Toyota and apparently living it up.

My wife has 2nd degree burns on 2 fingers. She dropped her curling iron this morning onto the bathroom rug and panicked :lol:

If TV has taught me anything, it's that you and Grove should buy Toyotas for your injured or ill wives.

Also, my wife is incapable of reaching into the oven without grazing the top element.

 
Panicking runs in her family. SIL used to come work out with wife. One night I hear thud, followed by screams.

I run into the room, SIL has hands on the treadmill with her knees just bouncing off the edge of the belt. I'm dying from laughter. She finally let go and her knees are all skinned up.

I ask why didn't you just let go.

"I panicked"

Spending the next four days in New Orleans for a conference. This trip should be slightly more fun than Midland two weeks ago.

My wife doesn't need a Toyota, she needs a freaking bubble. I'm betting she contracted both the strep and flu at the doctor's office last Wednesday when she went to get her ankle x-rayed/checked out.

It's so stupid, yet we are acutely aware that it is a Toyota commercial and we have seen it 35,000 times.  I do happen to own a Toyota, yet roller derby team never stops by.

Why'd ya say Burma?

 
My wife doesn't panick - she freezes. Like playing red light green light as a kid. If she drops something she's frozen in place for like 3 seconds.  Dog runs out the door without her leash on?  She stands in the doorway silently watching the dog run down the street. 

 
On Black Friday, I bought myself an electric guitar and an amp. On Cyber Monday, I booked a suite* in Vegas for the Final Four. Not sure whether I totally lack the Christmas spirit, or I'm doing things just right. 

*Definition of "suite" is somewhat flexible Downtown. 

 
The Salt Lick brisket tacos are by far the best thing about the Austin airport.

Trying to decide between second taco or second pint of beer. Probs go with both.

New venture or have you always played?

I have played, terribly, since childhood. I bought a Fender Telecoustic when I turned 40, but never bought an amp. Guitar Center had some screaming deals, so I picked up an Epiphone Standard I and a 10-watt Acoustic amp for  $120.

I still stink. But I can knock off "Clash City Rockers" at the drop of a hat.  :headbang:

 
Not sure where to put this, so I guess this thread works:  Last week we went to a concert performance at my daughter's school (7th grade).  One of her friends was in chorus and she wanted to support her.  It was a special veteran's day performance, where they sang a bunch of -- i don't know, "fight songs"? -- from each military branch.  It was nice.  For each song representing a branch of the military, the parents that were vets in the respective branch stood up for the length of the song.   It was fine, until. . . .

The director asked the audience to stand up while the chorus sang the pledge of allegiance. 

Guess which LONE jackhole dad sat that one out like Kramer refusing to wear his AIDS ribbon?  I think my daughter used up a lifetime's worth of eyerolls on me.  Through gritted teeth: "daaaaaaad."  I didn't have much for a response other than, "I'm sorry, honey, I don't do pledges."

Her:  "what does that even mean? Gah!"

You didn't have to do the pledge :unsure:

I mean I'm not religious but if at dinner someone wants to say grace I still bow my head :shrug:

LOL.  What can I say?  I don't do pledges.

I don't do prayer either, but if I go to my mother's church to show my support, I bow my head and pretend so I don't stick out and embarrass her.  I don't remain seated when everybody else stands.  Maybe that makes me a lemming, but I'm not there for me...I'm there for a family member.
