April: Off Topic Thread

Here you guys go, the off topic thread for April. Couple of things to talk about:

– Baseball Season starting (got my Yankees Saturday season tickets this week)

– Movies: Anyone see the Hills Have Eyes? Any good recommendations?

– Video Games: I’ve got an N64, xBob, PS2, Gamecube and an Atari – you?

– Anything and everything else…

    The Hills Have Eyes is a pretty good movie, albeit fairly explicit; definitely not something to take the kids to. But it’s good.

    Video games? I have a seXbox, PS2, GBA, SNES, NES, MSX2 (haha good luck findin’ one of those), and some other stuff.

    I just watched Lord Of War and Alexander last night. I don’t normally watch two movies back to back like that but I just installed a new projector!! A 102″ screen makes things look extra BIG 😀

    I like resident evil 4. Not too bad in my opinion

    Baseball – For the first time in 15 years, the Milwaukee Brewers had a non-losing season in ’05. The Brew Crew was in the thick of a wild card race last season but came up a little short. This year, the Crew is on target to be a contender in the NL Central but I predict a close second with a record of 91-71. With the addition of new owner Mark Attanasio and the great addition of Robin Yount, as bench coach, I believe the Brewers will no longer be the red-headed step child of the NL Central. Doug Melvin has put together a first class pitching line up that will be tough to hit against. Last year our pitching was superb but the offence could not manufacture runs. This year that will all change with Prince Fielder as a full time starter. Watch out!! The Brew Crew is back!!

    I am kind of a movie nut, so I thought I might put my 2 cents in on some recent movies that I have seen.

    1. History of Violence, A pretty decent film, the 3 main actions scenes are unexpected.

    2. Chronicles of narnia, If you liked Lord of the Rings you’ll love this movie.

    3. Kingdom of Heaven, an epic that is not to drawn out.

    4. Waiting, a must see for anybody who has ever worked in a restaurant.

    5. Doom, stay home and play the game.

    6. Harry Potter, better than all the rest.

    You will need a couple of days to finish Resident Evil 4. But the experience is worth it! Get ready for God of War II in the new year(on PS2). I also have the sountrack if you want a copy but IMO Conan The Barbarian Soundtrack is still the best.

    I am so excited for the start of the Baseball season. I have tickets to 7 Padres games. I live about 100 miles north of San Diego so I can only manage about 1 game per month. The Padres made some good moves in the off season (Piazza and Castilla) and they will be much improved. I think they will go deep into the post season.

    Another busy day on the homefront! Installed two ceiling fans on the veranda. Plus began preparations to build a 24′ long by 8′ lattice wall to separate the shed area from the rest of the yard. The wife wants it ready by Easter 🙁

    The real work starts when I return from your place. The entire backyard (80 x 30) is going to become a courtyard. First in line is the outdoor cook center. By the end of the year, there will be no grass to cut with the exception of the front yard 🙂

    Since this is off topic and I feel the need to whine – I helped several people split 6 cords of wood today and now I feel like I’m going to die.

    muscles that I have never used before…..

    Oh brother can I relate to that!!! It’s because I’m using the same parts of my body where the muscles “USED” to be. Over the years they’ve liquified and and settled down to my midsection. Then there’s the knees! I can stoop down for 1 minute but it takes 2 minutes (with assistance) to stand up with knees bent and 5 minutes before I can walk without the fear of falling… 😀

    Yes, but I am getting beaten down by the lack of resolution to ANY of the twists and mysteries. We need some items resolved, IMO.

    I also read that the writers don’t have an end in mind yet. This is scary. All these seemingly out of place and unrelated things may really be and thus it may take something completely unbelievable to wrap it together. Let’s hope for the best!

    Okay, I am looking for some hot cheese. Any suggestions? I don’t mean pourable cheese, I’m talking a big hunk of cheese – that’s good and spicy. The grocery store pepper-jack just doesn’t cut it for me. Does anyone ever have cravings for cheese like me? Sometimes in the middle of the night I’ll just sit down and eat like a pound a cheese. It’s the strangest thing. Sometimes I dab a bit ‘o sudden death, but I’d really prefer it was built right in.

    I love how the Tigers start out with a few wins and everybody around me is like “Oh this is gonna be great! Oh baby, best start since ’85! I’m a big Tigers fan, I want Chris Shelton to be my lover!” Well, apparently some aliens came and brainwashed Northern Michigan because they all forgot who they were talking about. The Tigs still suck, and they will continue to do so until Hell freezes over. Which should be a least 10-15 years from now. Thank you.

    She was actually OK with it. Although she did make some sort of comment about selling it all on ebay (and I mean ALL). She just doesn’t get it. But that’s Ok too, i’ll still keep her 🙂

    Huv, it took me awhile to get it too. I supported Ryan in his obsession but thought he was a nutcase, the bottles were cool some had funny names, etc. but then one day we got a package in the mail…. it was cape fear pepper companies red savina habanero premium hot sauce…. omg I fell in love and eat it on almost everything. Ryan was pretty surprised I liked it that much, it was hot and the flavor was soooooooooooo good… ok anyway my point is this, she will come around may just take some time.

    OUCH that is pretty hefty! I have a question. Why does the 4am always cost so much more than the 5 and 6 am? I mean there are equal numbers of them out there correct? There are other reserves like this as well being more common but more expensive. I guess the markey demands it!

    Hostel is a definite recommend, and I have told people about it, I do agree with Nick about the eye part being a little gross if you’re squeemish, I am not huge into comedy movies, I don’t much like stupid humor it’s just not funny to me, I will NOT watch that movie Aaron and thanks for the heads up 😀

    Also, if you have never seen Sling Blade, I think you should watch it, it’s an older movie but really really good, if you don’t like movies that make you think then you might want to pass on it.

    I have a question. I am sure Blair personally signs all his reserves. But my 6 AM signature looks absolutely nothing like any of the other reserves or signatures that I have. It even looks different than any of the other 6 AMs I have seen. I know he does thousands of sigs but all my others seem to be pretty close. I know folks will say I am paranoid but I was just looking for someone to give me a better explanation than my conspiracy theory!
