Jules

I have to get some rest too, long long day. I will be back tomorrow evening after I do some stuff around the house, and I have company coming over tomorrow, so I will be on late. 

Jules, 

That SNL skit about David S. Pumpkins just reinforces the idea that true fright is the element of surprise after a person has been distracted or lulled into a false sense of security. I could see where if a person watches that clip enough it grows on them. 

It also reaffirms the point that Halloween is too commercialized now by the mainstream & it doesn't have an underground vibe anymore at all. 

At least we have the Hammer classics for Halloween....In a sea of all the crappy horror flick remakes, at least we have the old masters of horror, and the cheesy fun of the 80's slasher movies. I've watched a couple of the old Dracula films today, it's fresh on my mind. 

I have no faith in the Steelers whatsoever. The Pats never struggle with them and Antonio Brown releasing that video was just enough for motivation for the Pats to want to dismantle them. 

As the years go on, I seriously am beginning to wonder if Tomlin is really a good coach or not...

Terry Bradshaw called him a cheerleader  

Very busy day for me with other stuff. My back is killing me but I'm working on some important stuff outside hobbies at the moment, but I'll be back Sunday. Probably going to rest all tomorrow since I'm worn out. 

The mini Brett Favre came in the mail. I'll have photos later when I have time to do stuff. 

Clippers lose by 2, they are in full playoff form early. I feel bad for Doc Rivers since the Clippers tied the game with 13 seconds and then Utah got a shot to go in at the buzzer. Doc looked heartbroken.

Clippers are just so damn doomed.

I have heard rumors too that Blake Griffin is interested in teams like the Celtics now.

Should be the New Orleans Jazz though.

This is horrible.

Ugh this is depressing. Chicago shot lights out in game 1, Isaiah Thomas is a basket case and looks like he has not slept (understandable) and well......it's game 2 or else our Boston dream is likely going to end sooner then we had hoped.

Game 2 is now HUGE.

Nice moment at the end when I saw D Wade talking to Isaiah kindly and asking how he was doing.

If you did not see the Warriors, they struggled with Portland until the 4th quarter and Portland even had a lead once. Anyone who says the Warriors can't be beaten is stupid, they can be beaten......the D is still very iffy.

I love this....omg.....

I like the leader of your road crew there Jules. 9 lives management no doubt...

9 lives manaement

I feel sorry for the Browns. They can never get it right  

Cleveland's got this one. CLEVELAND!!! THIS IS FOR YOU!

Watch them have an NBA and MLB title, meanwhile the Browns go 0-16. 

Amazing coincidence - Cleveland will be playing their first game in the World Series on the NBA's opening night when the Cavs drop their championship banner. 

If I was a Cleveland sports fan, I'd say screw the Browns and never watch another NFL game. No need, when you have the best player of the past decade in basketball playing the top of his career, and managed to deliver his promise of a championship...and you also have the Indians who are great. 

Great time to be a Cleveland sports fan while forgetting about throwball.

This is....shocking.

I know right.

Belichick will work his magic and Allen will be a star. He and Gronk together will make Brady look even better. I wouldn't be surprised.

He is gone but never forgotten.

His new journey in Stone-Hand-Land enters a new chapter.

Toronto may beat us, we are due for a loss after winning 4 in a row. I think that game is 50/50 as Toronto is very talented and they kicked the crap out of Houston the other night.

Due for a loss after just 4? Celtics are at 16 and I keep thinking it's coming.  But it's tough to say........

I think it's the Kyrie factor, he's the closer. Pacers still need "that guy" but your scoring looks to be pretty good.

Dipo I think is a decent closer and becoming that type of guy. Pacers usually just go with the hot hand. Yeah 4 in a row isn't nothing compared to 16 but 16 isn't the norm. Usually when teams win 4 or 5 in a row they play a stinker and lose. Long streaks are rare. I would be surprised if the C's have a streak longer than 7 the rest of the year once this one is over.

I think you secretly want to become the Bad Boy Pistons.  Not the Knicks.

Honestly, Kelly O outside of his unnatural fascination with Kevin Love isn't really always too bad. He did give a nice thank you note today to Boston too and said thanks for giving a guy from Canada a shot and letting him be a part of their city. I don't feel bad blood with Boston from him right now since he did become a semi cult following star in Boston.

Yes he is from Canada.

He might do well with Miami, Riley seems to be talking him up pretty well so it sounds like you will be seeing him a lot out there. Riley likes his toughness and ability to hold his liquor. (made that part up)

He may fit well with Hassan Whiteside who some claim is dirty too. Heat really are looking like a solid rough defensive group again.......

I have a great love for that Bad Boy Pistons team. They straight up broke their opponents physically and mentally, it was fun to watch until the rule change to make them go away.

I read that the Cavs tried to trade Kevin Love in a 3 team trade to Denver. 

The chemistry is going to be ruined next year with him in Cleveland IMO.

Well the Celtics "maybe" tried to move Crowder before they did Bradley to free up cap space. Crowder is on a pretty good deal though and a tough defender with size, kinda glad he stayed. It only would have happened with a sign and trade with Utah but I am guessing Gordon Hayward said "Hell to the no" with giving Utah anything the way it sounds. Since the deal only happened if Hayward agreed to sign off to it.

But IT said "everything will be okay" with Crowder/Hayward since Crowder now is behind Hayward in the depth chart.

Since IT is now apparently the spokesperson of the team with "everything will be FINE, we going to the finals man."  Yes IT said this, he said "everything will be fine and we are probably heading to the finals".  And last year he spoke to the crowd in Boston before the final regular season game and said "We got a big big playoff run coming."

But it's different since with Kevin Love, they pretty much spit on him daily in Cleveland and TP his house nightly. So it's a lot worse........Kevin Love gets the Otto Warmbier treatment by Cavs fans. With the Cavs fans being the DPRK.

It will be real interesting to see what the Lakers do in the Draft and Free Agency. Magic is about to pull a rabbit out his hat IMO. Something big about take place. I already like the progress that Ingram, Clarkson, and Randle are making too. Ingram had a bad game tonight but has played well most of the season. Lonzo is going to be great IMO, give him another year or 2. He already does a lot of things well.

Need to get some damn weight/muscle on Ingram. I say this every week. Last year I saw him literally "bounce off" Lebron James, for real. He bounced off Lebron like a rubber ball.

And to be fair, it was a good game tonight too.....

I'M SO OUTRAGED AND MAD WAHHHHHHHH

I hope the Heat win, just so I don't have to post that gif of DJ looking shocked. 

Heat don't know how to hold onto a good lead. I can't watch them at times since it's painful.  

I want the Heat to play Lebron though just for some sort of storyline. Get this team from Canada out. 

I might sleep early tonight again anyway, hope the Heat win and the Golden Curry's lose but I doubt that happens again.

Heat won in OT I see. I missed the game because I had to go out to work for a while. 2-2 now.

Don't worry when we take a RB the forum will love it (sarcasm)

I think it is about the CBA. NFL wants to retain what was agreed to in the CBA and PA wants to change it

Celtics. OMG........

Now we have to see if the Pacers can deliver lol.

I take that back about Britney's team. They DO know what they're doing, but they just play everything safe. Gone are the days of her really pushing the boundaries with stuff like the Womanizer video (what the original Make Me video had similarities to). They just go the safe route and for an easy pay check. Vegas gigs for someone of her caliber is an easy paycheck. 

Most Britney fans were mad as hell back in 2015 when PoM was extended to February of 2017. 

"I miss Kirstin Dunst too, I love her." 

You're right Jules. She is a fine actress. I loved her performance in 'Crazy/Beautiful' & 'Spiderman 2' with Doc Oc showed considerable range & emotional depth on her part. 

I pretty much steer clear of the horror genre though. Not my cup of tea. 

"John Fogerty is having a show in Vegas now." 

Speaking of Fogerty Jules, I saw a really bad CCR cover ad using a sad impersonator to sell Wrangler Jeans yesterday. God, it was so awful. Simply dreadful. 

Told ya. Worst cover of a classic ever done. Make it stop please. 

At the top of the page where it says create click on it.

Did hit Create and Click on it but it has topic, gallery image, blog.

Weird since you are not the first to say you had an issue with the status thing. I get status as an option with create. You can report that maybe in the threads we have about the site in the OT section or help section. I know they said it's not all fixed and worked out yet too with the kinks here. 

Wishing you a great Christmas and a wonderful time with your family.

Thanks guys, was checking in before I went to bed. Merry Christmas to you guys as well and have a wonderful weekend!!!! 

The Colts might be in a rough year but we still got each other and bright times are ahead again for next year, count on it.

Lakers just ended the Rockets 14 game winning streak at Houston. Kuzma had 38 Points. Lonzo 16 Points, 9 Rebounds, 4 Assists. Merry Christmas Jules!

And there you have it!!!!! Finally the Lakers got "the win" they needed and I been waiting for. Just in time too. Lonzo gets an extra present in his stocking now.  

Merry Christmas Lakers Nation and Kobe .

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

 

I know we are down with all the CBs so I did think the D would suck.

But, man after hearing about Romo, I would like to just keep Luck out almost until week 1.

I don't see him playing next game. At least it does show he can take a hit and be ok because after what happened he had to be a bit weary of getting hit again.

Luck looks healthy enough and he can still play. I would just let the line work itself out in the 4th game with a backup.

I know the D is going to suck until we can get back a few guys like Cro and even Patrick Robinson who I know Bogie hates from the Saints but he is at least a veteran with experience who tries hard.

I watched tons of Kansas where he was. It was not Jackson's fault they lost in the tournament either and got upset. 

And he has the cool hair going on:

Lonzo is definitely a throwback at PG, that is what Lakers fans need to realize. I honestly don't think he will ever be a great Scorer but I never did. That isn't his job. His job is to pile up Assists and be the Leader of that team. Rebound well to start fastbreaks, etc.. Yes he needs to score some to keep the opponent honest but 15 a game would be adequate IMO. He isn't a scoring PG like Curry, Westbrook, and Harden are. He is more like CP3, Kidd, Stockton type. Regarding Walton, I really liked him at first and I had him up there with Brad Stevens potential but not sure now. His rotations are puzzling!

I agree with everything you said. As for Brad Stevens, he can make his mistakes too. He had Al Horford against Drummond the other night instead of going with Baynes at center. Not a great move since Al doesn't have enough muscle at times, kinda like a tall thin Kevin Love type. He can score but sometimes be pushed around by the monster dudes.

I give Brad Stevens a pass though since they play the Pistons 3 more times and he likes to feel out different line ups a lot in various games for the future. And they might end up seeing them yet again for the playoffs. 

Stevens has some puzzling rotations at times too and especially for second units but he often does it to feel out what will work long term as well.

Luke is trying to find what works as well but I don't think they should "bench" Lonzo like they were a few times for the 4th quarter, it won't help his confidence. I won't give up on Luke yet though........he is OK so far and has even defended Lonzo Ball at times.

Sometimes I don't think Luke uses Lopez well though so far.

Oh no........Lakers play the Warriors tonight.  *hides* I read Durant/Curry are cleared to play but I don't know if their minutes are cut.

If Lakers lose tonight I hope nobody freaks out on this one. Since it's not a win you should expect by any means. Lakers though IMO should have beaten the Clippers the other night.

Lakers leading right now. But a whole half to go........

It's just sad to lose them like that. I have tried like hell, it's been rough. 

9 dead kittens out of 3 litters. Just feels like a massacre. I have a pet cemetery of dead kittens so bad it would rival Steven King's book of the same name. 

I was going to say you have Steven King stuff going on around you. And especially now with mom cats eating baby cats.

I am speechless.

BTW I was lucky enough to find a real clip of the Warriors coaches telling the Warriors how to play during a timeout.

Warriors are really impressing me. They are beating up on a team whose best player is 39 years old.

Pick on the Cavs all you want but they are playing a team in the next round who is young, athletic and HEALTHY. 

RIP Jack Bruce. Lost one of the best bassists yesterday.

Cream!

Major bummer man. I'm depressed now. Gotta jam out to some Cream tunes this weekend now. Quality bassists never get enough respect IMO. Right Cs4?

Thanks for answering my question 100GFB. I appreciate it. I like it when celebrities & entertainers are polite & down to earth. That's awesome!

Thanks for the comments all. I love Cat Stevens and heard this today on the radio and said to myself....wonder if anyone here likes him? Guess so!

So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out

There’s so much left to know, and I’m on the road to find out.

Here is the remainder of that War & Peace" joke: "I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia." Especially funny to me because in high school for foreign language class we had to read Leo Tolstoy's work in both German & Spanish. Not fun at all IMO.

SW1 - during my school days everything was foreign!

Good stuff southwest, I love Woody Allen. .

I love that part.

I gotta thank Bogie though for getting me a hold of this album almost a week ago. I can't stop listening to it! It's groovy man.

Damn, I figured I was the resident Zappa nut. You gotta get Absolutely Free and enjoy the monstrosity that is known as "Brown Shoes Don't Make it" Honestly though any FZ up till about 81' is tremendous.

I think you are the only two here who love him as far as I know lol. But, I might be joining in soon. Got a lot to learn, I will check all that out that you mentioned.
