RIP Wooger. :( Talked with him a couple times over the years, but my favorite memory was at an F5 (or rather, on the way to the arena). Bunch of us (in various WCHA unis) saw him and just started chanting "WOO-GER! WOO-GER!" He was a bit startled at first, then looked over and realized a WHOLE bunch...

Speedway? Is that a new thing?
They took over Super America stores. Not much different, but they haven’t evolved from the 1990s.

Marathon owns both SA and Speedway, and just rebranded all SA stores to the Speedway name.

I can't wait for JW4.

Given the ending of 3, it'll probably happen. And it'll probably be just one big fight scene, and the de-evolution will be complete.

I echo the thoughts on Speedway. The one by my place used to be a Circle K, and even though the same company, the overall experiences there leave a LOT to be desired (although they are slightly cheaper on car washes). Kwik Trip is the way to go for gas stations. Holiday is 2nd (luckily for me, I hav...

When my oldest boy was younger I think he watched the Fox and the Hound 50 times. “Look at me, I’m a hound dog” aaaoooooooo!

I had forgotten how "new" that was. Corey Feldman and Kurt Russell with voices in the movie?!

That does look good.

Buddy gave me access to Disney+. So far this week:
Lady And The Tramp (only the best Disney animated movie ever)
Robin Hood
Fox And The Hound

Rolling through the classics for now.

I had my work Christmas party at a bowling alley on Saturday. I bowled a 135. I was proud of that. When I bowled, I usually rolled a 150~. However, I cannot roll a curveball*. I roll straight-ball. I think my best game was 205 or something. *Although what is really fun is take a 6 lb ball, use your...

I thought this year's BCBS was really raisin-y. It was good, but probably needs to mesh a little. This year's Cave series from Schell's is pretty much like past years'.

It's almost time for "A Murray Christmas" (Netflix thing, pure awesomeness) and "A Christmas Story" marathon. About a week to go. Traditions, yo.

I haven't seen the trailer for either, excited for both. From what I've heard, it's proper respect for the movies forthcoming. They are not simply cashcows. There is thought behind them.

Apple doesn't play well with others. I thought that was a fairly established fact. See also: Sony in the 90s and early 2000s.
They actually play a lot nicer with Microsoft than they used to.

Interesting (sincere).

There are so many good live albums....forgot to mention "Live Sh*" by Metallica (although that is technically a triple live set). I love looking up live concert vids on YouTube, also. You can find some gems:

I actually have been drinking down my "cellar" due to the upcoming Forager thing (12 bombers) and recent Surly purchase of 3 bombers.

The Irishman was very good, but like others here, I watched it over several days (about 45 minutes per sitting).

DeNiro, Pesci and Pacino were all great, but the actor who played Tony Pro was fantastic.

Yeah, he played the a-hole quite nicely.

That could have been a PI call, but Cousins zipped that hard and too far toward the sidelines. He had time in the pocket to pick out a secondary receiver...or run the football himself. PI notwithstanding, the coverage was tight and maybe that wasn't the pass that needed to be made. Anyhoo....just a...

I heard the Mon Cheri is good. If you decide to clean out your cellar, lemme know.

As for the 2015BA, a couple friends are taking 2 bottles. I figure, I came into good fortune, might as spread the wealth, and basically proxied for them.

Scored a nice deal tonight, someone cleaning out their "cellar" and selling 2015 BA Darkness at 40/per. That was a tremendous year, so bought the 3 bottles he has. Cannot wait to try it yet again.

No more for me. Besides the horrible announcers (which I can MOSTLY tune out) and the injuries, and the bad juju....done.

That play could cost them the game.

Hint: there is a factor other than Cousins that leads to his MNF record....

What does it take to bench Rhodes? It's addition by subtraction at this point.

That's an incomplete pass. Plain as day.

Announcers are talking about long plays.....Vikings are doing what they need to do to win. If that means nickel and diming and winning ugly? So be it. The Vikings are taking what the Seahawks are giving them.

If Barr does that against a certain number 12 the NFL would have had him arrested.

Dumb question what is BCBS? Added to what Vegoe said, it used to be a unicorn of sorts to find in a store, it's a little more common now, but still sells out very quickly (especially the variants).

That's kinda my point. 10-2, losing to GOOD teams...don't hang your head. That is a massive step forward.
