well, we suspect that pc rpgs is only gonna get better, and there will always be another star wars movie to look forward to. we do a great deal o' volunteer work with a local soup kitchen/school for homeless/shelter for mental ill mothers. am also suspecting that dogs, or something like 'em, will always exist. due to unexpected circumstances we got two border collies and two mutts, and we also help out two o' our disabled neighbors with their dogs, so is tough for us to be bored for very long. annoyed? yes, very much so. bored? no. our concerns is not so much with boredom, but rather the fine print. eternal life w/o eternal youth would be problematic. immortality but without immunity to life ending diseases and injuries could lead to a kinda perpetual and unending torture. HA! Good Fun!

yeah, the eeoc kinda made a mistake by even suggesting that the gadsden flag could, in and of itself, be a kinda racist message. shoulda' stuck with finding and avoided troubling dicta. HA! Good Fun!

become immune to lightning or death? sounds like a no lose choice. please send us details o' the protocol. much thanks. HA! Good Fun!

our fav might actual be bedford. is not revolutionary, and has become too much emblematic of nra, but we also likes the gonzales banner. HA! Good Fun!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue I sorry he's wearing the Gadsen flag. Easily one of the coolest symbols in US history. oddly enough, the gadsden flag is a knock-off o' an earlier minuteman flag... am drawing a blank on the name. 'course we only know the history of the gadsden flag 'cause o' the eeoc kerfuffle. HA! Good Fun! Are you referring to this one? The First Navy Jack? I actually have it up on my wall. no. as we said, it were a minuteman flag. however, is possible we got it backwards as to which came first. am knowing that benjamin franklin is the guy who popularized the notion o' the snake as emblematic o' the American spirit/identity with the "snake divided" image and the "join or die" standard that followed. s'posed spawned numerous snake flags thereafter. gadsden flag does have kewlness in its favor. *shrug* our knowledge o' flags is decidedly post texas v. johnson. HA! Good Fun! ps apologize for removing images, but am doing our part to keep clutter reduced.

Hmm, guess I'm wrong. Although I do not know what authority Jill Geer has on this matter and it's kind of iffy to take a quote from a mail, but ok. I wonder if there is a record of how many independent (non-US) tests have been done to the US athletes over their Olympic history. *sigh* http://www.antidopings.lv/uploads/2016/ioc_adr_final_rio_2016_games_of_the_xxxi_olympiad_ioc_anti-doping_rules.pdf read section 5.2 HA! Good Fun! ps the usada, as 'posed to wada, makes test results public. wanna know how many times an individual American athlete were tested is far easier to discover than those from most other nations.

Ok, ok, I was pocking for some fun. But I fully believe that all the major athletes are doping, be they state sponsored or just have good doctors to hide their results. Including our guys too... As for the US I do find it odd that they would forbid any independent testing. kinda misleading. the testing that occurs at international competitions is handled by wada approved (and local) labs. is not as if americans at rio is getting some kinda special consideration. "When Team USA arrives in Rio, members can also be subjected to additional testing at any time by the International Olympic Committee or the International Association of Athletics Federations." so no, us athletes is not subject only to their own anti-doping policy and they routinely is tested by independent sources. HA! Good Fun!

bad news for carson wentz and philly http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000684674/article/eagles-qb-carson-wentz-suffers-hairline-rib-fracture HA! Good Fun!

what a shocking misinterpretation. nigeria and ethiopia gots relative large populations, so one would expect them to actual represent better than they has done. and as for poor... HA! "Less than $15K annually is what about 50% of T&F (Track and Field) athletes who rank in the top 10 in the U.S. This is from all sources: sponsorships, grants, prize money, etc.). Anyone below top 10 ranking in the USA likely has little to no income or funding from their sporting activity." am actual always surprised by how well the US represents at the olympics given just how little the US supports its athletes. it is the sacrifice o' parents, spouses and children that makes it possible for most olympians to forgo a real job and train for olympics. sure, phelps and a handful o' others got lucrative (VERY lucrative) advert and sponsorship contracts, but that just ain't the case for 90% o' our athletes. US motto should be: tinstaafl. US ain't a socialist nation that grooms and supports its athletes. families and communities is responsible for recognizing and supporting our athletes. local church bake sales has done more to send American athletes to the Olympics than has our government. weep for those poor nigerians and ethiopians if you wish, but the typical american olympian won't be able to squeeze out many tears. HA! Good Fun!

money. am complete in agreement with amentep, particularly as we wanna see different kinda star wars rather than numerous repackaged space operas. unfortunately, with the kinda budgets in play, am suspecting execs is reluctant to take risks. execs is looking at huge investments so they natural ask 'selves 'bout what resonated with The Masses when force awakens were released. thinking is one can't afford to have a bomb which would hurt a multi-billion dollar brand. *shrug* execs should adjust thinking. new star wars is not a three-movie offering with decades removed from previous star wars films. gonna be getting star wars every year for foreseeable future and strikes us as foolish to churn out the same sausage every single time. is ironic, but fans will hate you if as a creator o' entertainments you meet their expectations. give folks exact what they ask for results in complaints o' derivative, predictable and boring. new star wars scheme won't last long if it don't have variety and surprise. gonna need be different or fans will become bored. 'course, is not Gromnir's money. if were our money, and we were only thinking o' the next film, we would do same as execs. HA! Good Fun!

rumor is that the studio agrees with you, which is why the powers that be ordered extensive reshoots. HA! Good Fun!

cbs was confused... gonna be fun replaying the miscall. https://twitter.com/netw3rk/status/763922087916339205/photo/1 HA! Good Fun! ps complete unpredictable. https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/simone-manuel-penny-oleksiak-tie-for-gold-in-historic-100-free-final/ congrats to simone manuel.

*sigh* the tragedy is that the west didn't take Patton's warnings more serious. HA! Good Fun!

as an alternative, we suggest ac/dc's "highway to hell"... on bagpipes. HA! Good Fun!

been a while since we did swtor pvp. we got one elite warlord character and a couple in the 90 valor range, but has been literal years since we pvp'd, and never on harbinger. for our marauder to reach valor 5 and satisfy the DvL requirement took two warzones. am thinking the valor awards is a bit inflated compared to our recollection. am certain the curve flattens a bit, but we still were expecting a need to complete a couple more warzones. two. hardly a burden. 'cause o' the influence and gear farming available from ad nauseam tactical (but solo) runs o' esseles or black talon, we has made the process o' leveling a new character as dull as is possible. our cheapskate instincts is strong and the most frugal route to influence 50 with a starting companion is too much for us to ignore. heck, with the new xp bonus armour, we bypass much combat in esseles and still gain 2-3 levels per run 'til we get into the mid level 30s. we cannot resist the speedy leveling/gearing/influence option o' tactical fp solo runs, but after completing esseles or bt +20 times, we is understandably fatigued by swtor. can't blame on bioware, but am fatigued regardless. HA! Good Fun!

y'know, we actual experienced a wave o' nausea when we thought 'bout hot summer football. reminded us o' two-a-days. is kinda amusing how mere memory can produce physical sensations. *chuckle* the one good thing 'bout the cba is it put an end to the old skool coaches toughening up their players during summers. current practice limits means we got no more jim mora nonsense. saints summer practices under mora resembled scenes from the old MASH tv show. many pro football summer practice sites would include a kinda tent triage. depending on how traditional were a coach, you could have a dozen or so guys on military cots hooked up to iv fluid bags... daily. stoopid. HA! Good Fun! ps we do not miss summer football. not one bit.

am recollecting that the pilot were filmed in and around pittsburgh, pa. dunno if that helps or hurts you. HA! Good Fun! ps western pennsylvania is very much a part o' appalachia. that means that during the summers you got frequent thunderstorms. am suspecting that weather is a major contributing factor as to why so many shows is filmed in california. got diverse ca geography, but for the most part, the rains stop in spring and don't come back til mid-fall. am guessing that eastern kentucky weather during summer is not gonna make it easy to maintain a film schedule.

no My understanding is they can stop the car, order the driver out and search the driver and may apply the "plain sight" rule to the car but it stops there. Anything else needs either a search warrant, consent of the owner, or a hell of a probable cause. On that note let me ask you a question. One of the exceptions that grants probable cause is what the police call a "protection search" for weapons. In Tennessee we have a "duty to notify" rule that compels us to inform the police we are dealing with if we are carrying a concealed weapon, if they ask. So if I'm carrying (I do have a permit) and inform them I am does that give them the cause for the protection search? homes get a different level o' scrutiny. this is the reason why mobile homes has occupied a considerable amount o' space in judicial decisions. we could explain just how wrong you is, but would probable just be easier for you to check for your self. regardless, homes is different. so, "no." sorry. is as simple as that. HA! Good Fun!

no

am kinda conflicted 'bout robbie robertson and eric clapton. both is d-bags, but we can't help but enjoy their music. HA! Good Fun!

well, the bug whereby DvL rewards were not being added to collections has now been fixed. with our chap xvi run o' kotfe complete, we has now unlocked eternal (?) level o' DvL, which we believe is the necessary requirement for the new companion. gonna double-check on that point and then probable go back into swtor hibernation for a bit. HA! Good Fun!

we did watch BvS a couple weeks ago and we thought it were ok. it sure as heck weren't the craptacular p00pfest we were expecting based on feedback from these boards. with a certain amount o' trepidation, we viewed the extended cut and it ain't as if we were staring at our watch praying for the movie to end. any superhero movie is gonna have difficulty standing up to scrutiny when the plot is dissected. for chrissakes, batman is an utter ridiculous character when viewed w/o the benefit o' the entire dc universe mythology to give context. shortcomings we would never accept in other genres o' film get little more than a momentary eye-roll from Gromnir when we watching a superhero flick. nevertheless, in spite o' numerous shortcomings, the movie were watchable and enjoyable. on the downside, lex luthor's BvS machinations were beyond the pale for us and while lex's The Plan and eisenberg's manic portrayal o' the character did hurt the movie, we nevertheless enjoyed the film. eisenberg watched 12 monkeys too many times to prep for the film? did a good impersonation o' jeffrey goines or perhaps beetlejuice. we were pleasant surprised with ben affleck's performance, though a murderous and easily manipulated batman struck us as a curious choice for the writers and director to be making. batman's real superpower in the comics and previous films is that he is the ultimate chess master. he may not be the smartest guy in the dc universe, but he is typical two or three moves ahead o' any opponent. by comparison, BvS batman were a violent checker player. affleck managed to sell us on his darker and dumber batman. and yeah, wonder woman were complete unnecessary in BvS, but am understanding how her inclusion were meant to promote her own upcoming movie. gadot weren't terrible in her extreme limited screen time, even if we still got serious reservations 'bout her casting and her seeming lack o' dedication to the role. honest, how tough is it to add a few pounds o' quality muscle? and if it were too tough for her to do so, why cast a waif supermodel for the role? silliness. superman has always been one our least favorite superheroes, and henry cavill's wooden portrayal did little to make us change our mind 'bout the character. *shrug* emo superman's raison d'être were to make batman seems better by comparison? dunno. as much as we dislike superman as a character, we nevertheless enjoyed the film. again, we saw blu-ray extended cut o' BvS, which were +3 hours, and we weren't bored. how bad could the movie be to keep us engaged that long? HA! Good Fun!

am thinking that you actual has made a rather scathing denouncement o' gary johnson. no person who has ever achieved greatness has done so without being cast in the role o' villain. gandhi, mlk and even mother teresa has been denounced as villains. in our mind, failure to find approval o' any villainous group suggests lack o' conviction and a failure to have accomplished anything worthy o' angered criticism. HA! Good Fun!
