Yeah you are another Cubs fan that Posts here a lot. I really like that /M/Colts guy, he seems real cool and he loves the Cubs too.

 

I agree. \m/colts\m/ is one of the most classy and compassionate people on the board. I like him very much. I guess I can say that about many people here. I appreciate the friendships I have made here. You too.

Somehow this thread went from the Cubs defending their MLB crown, to ancient computers, to slow internet processing speeds, to asking a woman's age online. Darn, you folks are funny! :lol:

 

I love when threads slide in new directions & somehow boomer rang back to the original topic. You guys always make me roar with laughter, especially when SW1 has no business even reading this topic. Way outside my level of expertise now.

 

BrentMc11 & Jay Kirk are like brothers man. It's cool that NFLfan can comically haze her male counterparts too. I respect that. 

 

Hey CBE, rather then buying a new laptop, it might be cheaper to download software that routinely cleans up trash that slows down speed. I use MacKeeper myself. Just trying to save a fellow brother major Benjamins  man. 

 

Okay, I'll zip it now & just listen...

Yeah, M Colts M is an awesome dude no question. A word to the wise: I promise to e-mail folks back on the forum eventually. You have my word. I have to be in the right frame of mind though. Honest, I'm not ignoring anybody even though it may seem at first glance like I'm being a colossal jerk. Thanks Jay BTW for your thoughts on the movie "Hacksaw Ridge" last night too. I know people probably get weary of my longwinded reviews, but thanks anyway for tolerating my obsession with details. I do take stock & value immensely what my friends say & recommend.

I always love your movie reviews, you should be on TV doing that stuff. Not kidding.

Good advice PT thank you. I actually learn a lot about Indiana from your status updates as well whenever you refer to a local basketball team or a popular Hoosier State's DJ's death for instance. I like your this day in history posts too. 

 

You're right PT. I'll drop by here more often. Besides, Jay created the thread so I know it's gonna be spectacular.

Much appreciated CBE. Fist bump of respect bro. :hat:

 

I just wanna say this one thing & we can return to the CUBS again since I have too much admiration for Jay Kirk to unfairly dominate this thread. Here it is: In my film reviews, the score or the song I select for my readers is just as crucial as my written critique is because the music gives the audience it's emotional intensity or over arching theme or mood that hits me on a visceral level. I couldn't use accompanying songs on TV though. Darn copyright restrictions. Just kidding! 

 

Honestly, music gives movie's emotional intensity & lasting gravity & truthfully, record producing has always fascinated me ever since I can remember. If money was no object, I'd be a professionally trained studio producer laying down film scores or albums for artists across several genres.

 

Just go to You Tube & look up Full Sale University. If my resources were endless, that's what I'd be doing. Getting a Master's degree there in recording production. 

 

Sorry for the deviation Jay, back to baseball buddy & this...

Man, it's so strange not to see Gavin not posting in this CUBS thread anymore. No disrespect intended & I apologize if I accidentally ruined the mood & depressed anybody. Carry on...My bad...

Its not a problem we are waiting on opening day , Its a MLB thread Cubs got the billing after the WS win.They earned it . Gavin is missed in the Forum in general and you didn't curb our mood  , most went to the Pacers thread alls good :thmup:

I wanna see actor Bill Murray this happy again....So cool, when adults embrace their inner child full throttle. I love it! The best feeling in the world. Okay, next to a child being born or winning the Lottery perhaps, but that's about it. Bill Murray is the man!

Favorite quote of Bill's from the movie "Stripes"...

 

"C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin."

I love Stripes. I used to watch that a bunch when cable came out, what a classic. Yes Murray is a diehard Cubs fan.

Absolutely right CBE that flick still holds up & I still laugh my caboose off over it whenever I see it today. 

 

I love that WI line because the Badger State seldom ever gets mentioned in the movies & I live there so that line has an added comedic punch to it. Speaking of my Badgers, I was bummed when the Men's Basketball Team lost in NCAA tournament by a point, but Duke who took a title away from us last this yr too so that made feel better. LOL! Why do some broadcasters say toy-na-ment BTW? Where'd the hard R go or disappear too? Just curious...

 

I like the followup Stripes WI line too...."Well I got the crap kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!" Priceless man; Priceless.

LIKE! Yeah I thought after the Badgers took down Villanova they had a great shot at the Final 4. The way they lost to Florida was just awful. Nigel Hayes has been a tremendous player for them. You guys did much better than IU, IU didn't even make the tournament. Anymore Butler is top dogs in Indiana and have been this whole decade.

Thanks for the Badger props CBE. Appreciate it. Our Program in college basketball is actually respectable. 

 

I love when Dick Vitale covered games on TV from the Kohl Center. He's always very complementary of our coaches, players, & fan base as are all my Indiana comrades too. "That a baby bee!" Okay, I'm done now.
