Not looking to change anyone's mind in this thread. There's a 77+ page thread going over here that's geared more towards that. But I saw the 1st poll question of this thread over on SDS's other boards dark place (PPP) and thought it would be interesting to have the question asked over on the more left leaning of the 2 boards. I'm curious what effect people think the debates had on how people will act in 14 days. IMHO, the 1st debate was a clear win for the challenger, the 2nd debate was a narrow win for the incumbent (though the tone of the debate probably lowered favorability of both with women), and the 3rd (when looking at what each candidate was looking to get out of the debate - namely the challenger wanted to look 'Presidential' and someone who could be Commander in Chief and the incumbent wanted to make the challenger out to be a war monger) went to the challenger as he didn't come out looking like a war monger. OH will be interesting. I expect the incumbent thought the bailout would be a winner there and the reason he brought it up. The challenger being able to say essentially 'you're lying about my position again' may make that one not the slam dunk the incumbent expected it to be. My guess is that Romney is in the lead now, but there is still nearly an eternity (14 days) to the election. And, if he is in the lead, the debates are what put him there. There was 1 big win and then 2 close ones.

I was out for lunch today and the song "Layla" was playing. So of course I really wanted to see if there was a body hanging in their freezer. This got me thinking about certain songs that are forever connected to movies thanks to a specific scene. What are some other ones that come to mind for all of you? Feel free to throw in a youtube clip or two. Here are the first two that come to mind for me: 1. Goodfellas (obviously) 2. "Stuck in the Middle with You" - Reservoir Dogs Sorry, I'm too lazy to youtube them.

So I got this thing in the mail today from a local Hyundai dealership. They say they're offering 130% Kelley Blue Book fair market value for 2011 Hyundai Sonatas when you trade that in for a 2013. You also receive a $6,000 bonus voucher. So just out of curiosity I looked up the Kelley Blue Book info on my car and even at a relatively poor condition, it's worth $12,644. So add in the 130% and the voucher and you're right up there at the value of a new one. So what's the catch, what am I missing here? My two thoughts are that they only let you use the voucher towards a different purchase. That and the tax winds up bumping up the cost a bit.

So I have a dilemma and am wondering if anybody has any input. This is serious, life or death stuff.... I'm thinking about switching from Sling to Hulu Live TV. It looks like it'll actually save me $5 per month. I would, however, lose NHL Network. YouTube live is not yet an option in my area, and Dish and Fubo can just right off. Anybody else use Hulu Live? Sling is hot, nasty garbage from a functionality standpoint. Would drop it in a hot second but for said NHL Network issue. If Hulu actually works more than 80% of the time, however, I'm gone. Anyone?

La-La-La-La-La Fontaine is a great call, but I feel like there are some good calls for players lurking if the team is good again. - Weber really put the mustard on that one! (if Weber scored more goals) - Larsson just commited Larceny! (if Larsson played goal) - Benny put on the jets and blew by Chara! (yeah, I know, but there needs more non-tank content here)

So Pi day is Monday, and even though PA has told everyone, "let them eat cake", I think I'm going to bake this weekend. What is everyone else making? I'm debating making my "usual" Maple Sweet Potato Pie, Key Lime, or something new.
