Happy Thanksgiving all. Again my role in this great tradition is vegetables roasted in the oven. This year I go to them with apples marjoram turmeric and ginger.
Medicinal food right?
Happy Thanksgiving all. Had a few folks over for dinner - mostly vegetables and fruit but wife did a turkey breast for a few of the guests.
thank you dude 😀 hope you been well!
and hopefully im smarter / better at the game than i was years ago and can contribute a lil more concrete understanding to some threads.
beat: i have NOT however learned how to incorporate brevity in my responses - so just like before, its almost always gonna be some paragraphs 😉
i dont know enough bout hollywood rules but being involved in entertainment adjacent i imagine it could have been a situation where crediting him would entail some contractual **** and if he had representation they'd be getting a cut etc etc so did a cameo appearance without it because relationship/friends with folks - lil bit of a billboard intro before he appears as a leading role etc etc
maybe he was around the set and someone asked if he wanted to fill in quick for a speaking role vs getting some unknown as a favor even etc etc.
but 100% surprised its not in the trivia though- THAT I expected someone would've pointed out by now. i dont have an imdb account but if you dont wanna take the credit under your name, i can make a "2plus2LNLHC_ThePen" account and post it. lil digital footprint acknowleding everybody's existence elsewhere on the 'net before it all disappears into a sea of pay for play and advertisements
Lol, awesome, make it so, imo!
Ggogogo!G
@bb_love, wasn't your old name almost exactly the same? How does it differ?
if i must out my old sn i will but im gonna resist a lil bit first.
there MIGHT be a variation on this one i made and lost before I finally got my big boy pants on and started using a pw library cuz .. .well i have crippling adhd and lets just say "losing **** or forgetting all about" is somethin i will go toe to toe on anyone as far as expertise. happy to also simply start a membership club and avoid any heirarchy/measuring but the former is a go to phrasing to convey point with emphasis.
nothing weird at all about showing up, telling everyone you're an old reg, but then deciding you're not going to say hi and let us know who you are but instead be a total ffing creep about it with the "i know who are but who am i?" game
are we sure this isn't a chatgpt experiment where they told it to pretend like it's a 9 year old edgelord?
It’s more a post history I’m not keen to revisit. Tho probably the worst of those are in the archives from way way back which I don’t think are still accessible?
Only reason I think that is cuz there was some dudes great “AK is the preflop nuts” 3 hands in Vegas post that was hilarious I always tried to find again strictly for the “ Little did he know he was drawing dead like a zombie” in a AK vs AA hand history retelling
This is circa 2004/2005 tho maybe
I for one don’t care who you are and don’t remember anyone with a similar screen name. And actually don’t remember anyone in here who has posted similar types of barely legible, inconsequential dribble. And I’ve wasted thousands of hours on here since almost the very beginning. So I think you’re either lying or totally irrelevant in the history of the chat thread
So…I hope you can be better company moving forward and add some value or else **** off
part of my strategy bro. ste that bar so low that all i gotta do is stumble over it and it'll look like im soaring. <3
but this is spot on. i didnt contribute much to the chat thread historically, unfortunately.
but fret not, sir wrath. for i have plans to change the para-digg-em.
Not a pow day, but was still able to find some of the goods at Copper today. Absolutely beautiful day
An unfortunate blunder to be detailed more extensively in your forthcoming tell all autobiography I imagine?
I tremble with excitement for its arrival <3 :*
Saw a car parked around the corner this morning. Had Christmas lights scotch-taped all around the passenger side.
I wouldn't say they covered the passenger side, but there were quite a few. Raised some questions:
1) I wonder how they change the DC from the car to AC for the lights (?)
2) I wonder what that does to the car's electrical/charging system
3) I wonder what the scotch tape is going to do to the finish/glass where it's taped on to those areas
4) I wonder if that's street legal
If they drive this at night with those lights on, it would certainly be at least a distraction. Both to themselves and others on the road.
We have one of these in our neighborhood. Looks like the passenger door still opens, though
Just went around the block, got a better look at it (was just before dawn when I went by earlier).
It's teeny-tiny LED lights, so maybe not such a big draw on the electricity. Also windows not covered, just the painted parts of the passenger side.
Did not think to see if they went around the door on that side. I don't think so, though; seemed like the strands were running horizontally.
Back from Thanksgiving travels with stops in GGland and prairieland (or close enough). Can def see why Edmonton's hockey team used to be called the Eskimos. F'ing brrr!
Vancouver is about like I remember it, except that it extends all the way down to Surrey now.
Yeah if you were up here in Hoser Land last week, it definitely sucked.
There’s a reason Canadian Thanksgiving is in October.
Was just hanging in the Edmonton Airport. Layover was long enough to consider going off to explore the town, if it weren't so stupid cold. As it is, a Belgian Beer Bar in the airport was a just fine way to pass the time. Delirium Tremens on tap and poutine made with Belgian-style frites? Yes, please!
It's the tome of year when it's getting dark early enough that I'm watching more football. Some ideas:
Chiefs somehow keep winning, but don't look like a great team.
Dom's Bills, OTOH, look quite good.
Broncos showing some life, looks like Nix might be a good pick.
Packers decent, Vikings good, but Lions, WOW!
Unfortunately for mark, Jerry will probably see the injuries (mostly Dak) as an excuse to keep Fat Mike around some more.
The natives are getting restless in the Falcons discussions I’m in.
Dropping three in a row when we basically had the division wrapped up will do that.
There’s calls to bench Cousins and start Penix.
I think Cousins gives us the best chance to win anything this year, but he’s looked bad lately.
Won’t win anything with this bad defense, and historically anemic pass rush, though.
Niners season is over. Was bad enough already, but with McCaffrey PCL injury, that'll likely do it.
Weird part is that the defense has been pretty bad, and they haven't had a lot of injuries. Offense has been mediocre, even with all its injuries, so if defense was dominant like in years past, they'd still be in contention.
I've never been to Edmonton. My stepson moved to Calgary this year for affordability / etc. purposes, but my guess is that the winter will kick his ass. We're planning a road trip to Calgary next year.
Yeah, the Lower Mainland is just one big continuous sprawl. I believe Surrey is scheduled to overtake Vancouver in population in a few years. Weather was actually awesome here on the weekend, nice sunny days at a very reasonable temperature where I could still get out on my bicycle to run errands / have some garage project time.
FYI: The Edmonton hockey team has always been the Oilers. It is their CFL (Canadian Football League) team that was known as the Eskimos forever until a couple of years ago, now Elks. Warren Moon won 4 Grey Cups as an Eskimo before moving on to the NFL back in the day.

McCaffrey my first-round (and #1 overall in our league).
Sigh. At least I had Mike Evans, Johnathan Taylor, and Nico Collins behind him.
Double sigh. Bad year for me. It happens.
