You want to talk about bad special effects, Walking with Dinosaurs does not hold up well.

The animatronic gorilla in Congo comes to mind too

I prefer the one at Showbiz Pizza Place. Great stage presence.

It works out OK if I just pretend it's dancing The Robot to an abstract poetry reading.

I watched the last 10 minutes of Archer with my kid last night. Pretty awesome. She's into space, so it was a good episode.

hardwood floors are expensive to get installed and have a lot of hidden costswhen you are doing 500 sqft and you find a floor at $3/sqft you might think - sweet, I can do this thing for something like $1500+~$1000install=$2500. But it's more like $6000 if you are gluing and have a lot of transitions.

You can also DIY if you're not in a big rush.

Too much of a hassle with little kids and I f-ed up the last time I tried. Planks separated over time (floating floor).Anyway, the biggest shock to me is that the 2in1 glue you need for moisture control for a project this size is $1000.

When you see a person next to you in traffic constantly looking down at their phone and texting, lay on the horn for no reason.The fear of an impending collision scares the bejesus out of them. It seems to get them to stop too. And usually they don't even know who honked.

Has anyone else noticed the relative lack of Joe-bans lately?

As dorky as it may sound, a few of us were talking about that at coshole2013. I think this thread is a big part of it (keeping all of the hard-timers on one cell block). I mean, I bet there's been more bannings amongst the regulars here than the entire rest of the board combined. Another factor is that some of the ban-friendly guys don't push the envelope as hard.

Is Joe even around that much anymore?

Yeah, Joe barely posts now, and the mods that do post don't seem to feel pressured to keep a tight lid on things like Shick! did. The current level of moderation seems to be working out pretty well.

Oh yeah? Why don't you go #### yourself.

A big group of students just videoed themselves doing the Harlem Shake outside my window. Am I too old to understand the appeal of this, too uncool to understand it, or maybe both?

Just think, two weeks ago I was standing on Cos's porch drinking cold beer and enjoying the day. :(

Yeah, I keep thinking about this too. It was pretty awesome in so many ways.

Hell, I'll never look at cucumbers the same way

I feel like Pickles saying this, but it was mildly amusing the first time I saw it, but now it badly needs to be taken out back and shot.

You'd better quickly shoot the first one because if you don't, there'll be about 30 others you have to kill too.

So I just solved a fight b/w the boys with a train draft.

We got them this big train set for xmas, which they absolutely love. When they wake up in the morning, it's straight to the playroom screaming "choo choo!" There are 8 trains in total. They walk in there this morning and I go to the kitchen to put on some coffee. Inevitably I hear a cry, to which I walk into the playroom to see if it's a "I'm hurt" cry or a "stole my toy" cry. Apparently Andrew stole 1 of Michael's trains. I sit them down (as I do every time) and tell them they can't take each other's toys. Then I get the bright idea "Have a train draft"

So I put all 8 trains on the floor and tell Andrew he can pick first. They both stand there for a minute and are crying b/c neither of them have any trains. Finally, Andrew grabs a yellow train. Then I tell Michael he can pick. He takes a green train. Of course immediately, they want each other's trains. TRADE! I successfully facilitate a trade and then Andrew picked again. I actually contemplated a snake draft, but thought that would be impossible for them to comprehend....so Andrew picked again followed by Michael. They were each content with 2 trains, so the other 4 went into the FA pool

Dynasty or redraft?

redraft every day unfortunately

Nice league. Guppies.
