frissonic Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 I thought we already had a breasts thread. :clapping: :wub: anyway ... big fan of the iPhone. this is not meant to incite a an-droid vs. apple fanboi flame war. it's what i own, it's what i use, and it's what i like. internet, text, sports scores, *REALLY* love the red laser app for all kinds of reasons--price hunting, bar code generation for any URL, etc. i love the fact that apple finally has a cloud-based music storage system, though i'm not in love with the current implementation (no actual streaming--just the ability to download. in a lot of ways, audiogalaxy has this beat by a landslide, but whatever. for that matter, so does amazon's cloud music storage and google music). anyway, that is all. also, breasts. thanks to status quo for pointing out that. :) Quote

Weave Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Lansky ceramic rod knife sharpeners. http://lansky.com/index.php/products/4-rod-turn-box/ So inexpensive, yet so effective. I have yet to use another knife "sharpener" that works as well as these rods do. (ps.. they don't "sharpen" they hone.) 5-10 strokes once a week or so and my chef's knife stays scary sharp. KitchenAid stand mixers. Not only are they powerful enough to handle heavy duty mixing tasks like kneading bread dough, but their attachments for meat grinding, etc. work extremely well. And they are built tough. And the best part is, in the event they do break they are serviceable. In this age of disposable goods it is good to know that you can get online and buy the parts you need to fix something. Weber Genesis series gas grills. I've had mine for 11 years. Still have all the original parts. And I don;'t baby mine. It get used year round and is almost never covered. Controls temperature well enough to roast a turkey. Gets hot enough to make glorious pizza. Can be adjusted down low enough to do a very credible job of ribs or pork shoulder. Genny Bock beer. Try it. You'll thank me. Quote

Steaks are done in under 20 minutes; my old gas grill took at least twice as long. big fan of the iPhone. this is not meant to incite a an-droid vs. apple fanboi flame war. it's what i own, it's what i use, and it's what i like. internet, text, sports scores, *REALLY* love the red laser app for all kinds of reasons--price hunting, bar code generation for any URL, etc. I've shied away from most things Apple, but after having Android phones for the last 18 months, I may switch to an iPhone. No real issues with the Android, it's just that there are many great apps being written for the iPhone that never get ported to Android. I really like my Cuisinart K-cup coffee maker - I get to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee whenever I want. That's pretty awesome..... Quote

Claude_Verret Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Man caves. I've had one in my backyard for three years now and it has provided a great place for myself, friends and neighbors to watch sports and blow off some steam every now and then. There has been some stuff that's happened there that I'm sure would get 95% of men in some deep trouble with their wives, but I'm lucky enough to have an awesome and incredibly understanding wife.

SDS Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Posted January 27, 2012 Foo Fighters Documentary. Very insightful on Grohl and the band's history. http://www.amazon.com/Foo-Fighters-Back-Forth/dp/B004XCUEU2/ref=pd_sim_mov_1/190-4611512-0916923 Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium. Probably the greatest show I've seen, but did not attend. They crushed this show. Watching it made me a huge fan. http://www.amazon.com/Foo-Fighters-Live-Wembley-Stadium/dp/B001HY3BNQ/ref=pd_cp_mov_2/190-4611512-0916923 Quote

No real issues with the Android, it's just that there are many great apps being written for the iPhone that never get ported to Android. I recently got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and my wife has the iphone 4S. They are both great phones, but I like mine better with the 4G. Quote

darksabre Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Another thing that I find awesome, both subjectively and objectively, is the artistic skill of my lovely girlfriend. So I'm going to shamelessly plug her work here. ;) http://joanna-eberts.blogspot.com/ From hockey players to cartoons to nature's creatures to really abstract twisted stuff, she's a style chameleon. Just to rope you guys in, here's a recent digital painting of Lanny McDonald. Quote

nfreeman Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 I realize you're just pointing out which season is available, but season 2 was miles better IMO. I've only seen about half of season 2. I don't disagree though. (I just saw the episode the other night where Louie hooks up with the single mom from his daughter's class -- holy mackerel.) More generally, I think that comedies tend to get better after the first year as everyone sharpens things up. Quote
