dEnnis the Menace Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 My dad got us a goal for x-mas and I just set it up. We're gonna have 4-5 skaters out on the pond tonight, so awesome. :) Is that the one with Arnie and Ms. America? Denzel and the girl from Kick-ass Quote
Hoss Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 The Equalizer was cheap action but I don't remember a movie where somebody faced absolutely no challenges. It was just I KILL YOU, the end. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I've skated until 3 am every night this week. My back is the best kind of sore. Quote
josie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I discovered that one of my coworkers (an intern, so sadly she won't be around the office for much longer) is a hockey fan and wants to learn how to play. Another hockey loving art chick? What are the chances??? Makes me so happy. And although the cold is bitter and awful and the wind makes me hate life, the ice is getting thicker so pond hockey soon!!!! Quote

dEnnis the Menace Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 The Equalizer was cheap action but I don't remember a movie where somebody faced absolutely no challenges. It was just I KILL YOU, the end. And yet, I still loved it. To each their own. It was less cheap action than say Expendables, and less crazy unbelievable shoot outs/explosions/etc. Quote
darksabre Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 d4rk, if you ever had a chance, this is it :lol: Quote
Hoss Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 And yet, I still loved it. To each their own. It was less cheap action than say Expendables, and less crazy unbelievable shoot outs/explosions/etc. Generally all mainstream action films are just "cheap action" for me. There isn't much storytelling (ESPECIALLY in The Equalizer). It was essentially "I care about the hooker. Oh shoot she got beat up. Let me kill everybody involved. Oops they're connected with this giant money laundering drug/sex ring and this guy is hunting me. Oh well, I'll kill everybody else, too. Thanks for your help fat kid. Back to life as normal." I don't regret watching it, but I could've gone without it. I would rather there at least be some type of challenge involved for the protagonist. Quote
josie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 drool d4rk, if you ever had a chance, this is it Simmer down, hound dogs, she's taken. With another goalie, as it figures. Oh, another thing that's awesome. A very good friend of mine back from high school has taken up triathlon in the last couple years. Well, he's competing in an Ironman this summer and wants me to fly out to Whistler, Canada to cheer him on. I asked for more info in terms of logistics, and he told me I'd be staying in a house that he and his triathlete friends have rented, should I make the trip. (before you all get all creepy on me again, yes, d4rk's invited too). Uh, a house full of Ironman competitors? I'm just going to sit there and figure draw all day. "Josh, who's your weird little friend who keeps staring at us and scribbling in a book?" But seriously, I'll go on my own if that's what it takes to go see Vancouver. And what a cool thing to witness. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Akron falls rink opened today, had the whole thing to myself, first time out on skates this year. Lotta fun. Quote
Hoss Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Akron falls rink opened today, had the whole thing to myself, first time out on skates this year. Lotta fun. Weird. The official announcement was that it's opening tomorrow. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Weird. The official announcement was that it's opening tomorrow. hmmm, I called them this morning and they said it was good to go so I went! : P Quote
Hoss Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 hmmm, I called them this morning and they said it was good to go so I went! : P They probably just invited people tomorrow but are fine with people skating now. Quote
shrader Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Hey! I'm not creepy, I'm pathetic. And I'm just looking out for d4rk. He needs a celebration for that 20,000th post. Quote
wjag Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 hmmm, I called them this morning and they said it was good to go so I went! : P Always handy to carry those bolt cutters Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 This guy is awesome ... travels around the world and dances with locals. Shows that no matter where you live on this planet we are, in fact, all the same. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Speaking of alternative viewing in lieu of the rest of the tank.....Peaky Blinders. Must watch Netflix show. Awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w0vy8f_O0I Quote

Awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w0vy8f_O0I So, a broken bottle to the face,… Don't think I'll be pressing play on that one. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 So, a broken bottle to the face,… Absolutely. That's child's play for the Peaky Blinders! According to Carl Chinn, the name Peaky Blinders is popularly said to derive from the practice of stitching razor blades into the front of their flat caps, which could then be used as weapons http://en.wikipedia..../Peaky_Blinders Quote
josie Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 And I'm just looking out for d4rk. He needs a celebration for that 20,000th post. What, you think I ain't enough for him? An extra girl around just means he has more reason to hide in his room and play World of Tanks. Trust me, that's all he's doing. Unless he is into world war 2 themed explosion porn. (does that exist? It probably does). Things that are awesome- how cold it is. I mean in the real sense of awesome, not "hey man that's great". It's not even THAT cold, honestly. I was working with some water buckets at the barn this morning and within 5 minutes, my heavy duty waterproof gloves were a solid block of ice. (Lucky I always bring a couple extra pairs of gloves). Our hoses were freezing before we could even get them inside. My phone, which was under about 4 layers of clothing and in my Carhartt overalls, was too cold to function. We all had little beginnings of frostbite on our noses, despite covering our faces. That wind gets through everything. So stay warm, everyone. Keep extra warm stuff in your car too- not sure if anyone saw that I-94 pileup video from Michigan, but just always be prepared. I knew a couple people who got caught up in that. What a mess. Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 A friend picked up free tickets, so I went to the Kings game in Sabres gear last night to boo the Leafs. I photobombed a lot of Leafs fans' group photos. Good times. Quote
