suggestion to all the Lego's people - save them!!!

My son always asked for Lego's for his birthday, Christmas - whatever. He had thousands and thousands of them (wasn't unusual to get >5 sets for each of the above events). Best guess at least $1000 invested by all the gift givers combined. Then he just threw them away (I guess it was easier than cleaning up and re-organizing for the umpteenth time).

Still makes me sad - especially now that his son is asking for them.

Oh, snap! You've gotta be kidding me! Nobody plays SFB! Oh, snap!

Yo, Macrina plays, too. I introduced her to the game the first time she came up to visit me in Boston.

Oh, snap! I can't believe you play SFB!

Yes, against all that is good and reasonable, I play SFB and it's equally monstrous companion, Federation & Empire. F&E will eat your life.

suggestion to all the Lego's people - save them!!!

My son always asked for Lego's for his birthday, Christmas - whatever. He had thousands and thousands of them (wasn't unusual to get >5 sets for each of the above events). Best guess at least $1000 invested by all the gift givers combined. Then he just threw them away (I guess it was easier than cleaning up and re-organizing for the umpteenth time).

Still makes me sad - especially now that his son is asking for them.

The university choir sang a concert consisting of famous opera overtures, choruses, and arias Sunday night. It had a fantastic reception.

My brother likes F&E, too, but I haven't played it. Frankly, between SFB and Super Mario Sunshine, I'm surprised I'm not a shut-in.

One of the docs I work for did her undergrad at UM. She went to OSU medical school ( :scratch:). Her husband is the biggest OSU fan - to the point of being obnoxious about it (common among OSU fans). She can tell when he's been in her office because he turns her UM diploma around to face the wall.

As for me - I grew up in the Woody vs Bo era - couldn't stand Woody. Plus my mom was born and raised in Dearborn - all of her family was from Michigan - and she worked for the UM when I was growing up. So I naturally gravitated towards them. Lots of UM fans in the greater Toledo area - because of the proximity (we're in the disputed land)

It appeals to so many ages. My grandsons ( 3 & 6) love it for the swordfights. My son & husband love the comedy. My daughter and d-i-l love the romance. Me - I just like it because Mandy Patinkin is in it.

Look it up on wikipedia - easier than trying to explain.

Smoked.

then I could probably handle that - when wikipedia said many eat it raw I kind of thought ewwww

I love bacon.

When I was little my grandmother made her pie crusts with lard and she made the best pies on the planet

So, I'm thinking I'd probably like the salo.

The book is sooo much better than the movie. I wish Reiner would have gotten more of the book in.

The books are always better than the movie (can only think of one instance where the movie stayed really close to the book and both the book and movie are pretty much unheralded - A Separate Peace did an excellent job of following the book closely, probably best I've ever seen along that line).

I can think of one movie that was significantly better than the book it was based on. That was Blade Runner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner), based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F) by Phillip K. Dick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_K._Dick). The movie didn't follow the book closely, but instead improved on it. PKD was a brilliant writer, but did way too many drugs, and sometimes his writing was, um, confusing to say the least. The Blade Runner version of that particular story was far more coherent.

My personal favorite PKD story is The Man in the High Castle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_in_the_High_Castle).

She was a little husky about 4 months old. When we were moving from northern Quebec to Nova-Scotia she took ill in Montreal airport. I had to miss my flight to find a vet. Took over an hour to find one open - it was Sunday and Canada Day. By then she was too far gone and I had to put her down. :(

On the bright side my older and very pregnant Husky had 8 pups exactly one week later. :)

Got to game 7 of the finals just 2 years ago. :cry:

But, yes, I was a fan back in the golden days, saw them win all five cups. :) Been with them for 26 years.
Ah, right...against Carolina...that too, was a heartbreaker! :(

Yeah. :sigh:

Apologies to all the non-Canadians, but when two Canucks get talking about hockey we can take over a thread! ^_^

Okay, gotta get the kids ready for trick or treating so the rest of you can have the thread back now. lol.

:scratch:
Didn't understand any of that :D

(Apart from the trick or treat bit - had enough of that tonight!!)

How is everyone?
:hug:

Hey now, I take offense to that. I grew up watching, playing, and loving hockey. Y'all ain't the only ones with ice, ya know.

I'm from Boston, and I have been following the Bruins for as long as I can remember. I have only one sports jersey that is my own (not dh's that I steal) and that is my O'Reilly jersey. I still love hockey, but I don't follow it as much as I used to.

Just read this over the weekend.

Ooh! Thank you! I must have that for my collection. That's one of my all time favorite movies!

Next time we do this, we should add a favorite book line. Seems like we are all pretty heavy readers. :hug:

:hug: No offense meant by it ;) And it's actually kinda true...2 things Canadians love talking about, hockey and the weather! ^_^

Red Wings are an original six team, and I always pull for 5 of the 6 originals when its a game that doesn't affect my own team(s) - (Edmonton - Boston - Ottawa). The sixth is the Canadiens, I never pull for them. Hate 'em! They broke Bruins' fans hearts for 40 years! Aaaargh!

Back in the 80s when the cold war was still on the Soviet team played the Canadiens and I rooted for the Russians! :mad:

oooh - you're tough.

I would cheer for an original 6 team any day (even the Blackhawks ;) ).

I'm old school though - I miss the old division and conference names (Norris, Campbell, Prince of Wales etc). Sounds so much better than east and west:mad:
