Sending 2013 out with a bang... or at least a toot.

I normally don't like to post things like this in a "Sports" forum, but I saw this and thought it was soooo cool. So I just had to share!!!!

There is not much to do in Minnesota (by California standards) so you adapt.

It's time for me to buy some legos for the first time since middle school.

 

[GoGoGadget]

OMG, want.

 

[LilMissDiva]

Oh wow... I can't believe this thread still exists. It's going on a decade old now.

 

[Elise10]

Since I live so close, might as well check it out for myself. This one was rather mild.

--and that means we are all a decade older wiser.

 

[LilMissDiva]

Oh man, thanks I needed the reminder. Seeing as the older I get the more I 4get.

Please pray for my three older children and their father, their grandmother/mother died on Monday.

 

[VF21]

My heartfelt condolences and prayers for all those touched by your loss.

I am befuddled by the syntax of this statement. I want to ask a question that my gut tells me may be less than appropriate. Regardless, I'm sorry for their (your?) loss.

The mother of her ex-husband (the father of three of her children) died.

I walked by the mall Lego Store and saw that Simpson Lego set on display. I looked at the display card and it had a translucent 200 Euros showing though the folded paper it was printed on. I knew this thing was going to be expensive

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I had heard around $260 US.

Official pic of Capaldi's new costume released. In other news, I now want a pair of Doc Martens.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Perhaps some of you Doctor Who people can help me out: if English call cookies "biscuits," then what do they call biscuits?

 

[Mad D]

It hasn't rained in 50 plus days and the day it does I get to fix a flat tire in it. The spare was also flat.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ended my self-imposed media blackout, not too long ago: is it safe to watch TV again?

Depends on what you were avoiding.

Biscuits per se don't really exist in England. The closest thing to a US biscuit is probably the scone, which consists of a flour, butter and milk mixture and is served with butter, clotted cream or jam. (US scones are considerably different, sweeter and fluffier I think.) KFC's in England don't even have biscuits on the menu.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That doesn't really sound similar at all. No biscuits at the chicken spot? What heresy is this?

So, if an Englishman were on vacation in the US, what would his reaction be to going into a Bojangles, or a Hardee's (sorry, Carl's Jr., for you left-coast types), and seeing the breakfast menu? What would he think he was looking at?

The bowl of soup.

No idea. I'll ask Londonking.

I kinda still make comics

HOLY poopoo! That Walking Dead episode was crazy. I feel all shaky and amped up like the last minutes of a close Kings game, except it was for just about the entire episode.

Okay...now that the second half of the season has started, I find I have even more questions. It's hard to explain this series to anyone who's never watched it.

I would tell them it's not like a typical one dimensional Zombie film. I hate Zombie movies but this show hooked me in.

I mean a character like Michonne in a movie like that would just be nothing more than a killing machine with no lines. When characters die there is more of an impact (partly due to sitting down and seeing these characters week after week) and I even find myself feeling anxiousness about characters that I find annoying when they are in finding themselves in trouble.

I would also recommend telling them to not get discouraged by season 2 (the show was going through multiple staff/writer changes) because season 3 and especially this season more than make up for it.

Well, it took a herculean effort by the opposing team's star player, but our season is officially over. It was nice to hear coaches wail about not being able to score against our team.

It'll be nice to have my evenings back. Kinda.
