darksabre Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Completely unrelated to this discussion about Cleveland, I came across the Drew Carey Show on tv tonight. Man, I haven't seen that show in years, but it's really held up. Looking at the IMDB, it would seem I effectively grew up with the show on air from 1995-2004. Wild. Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 1st family vaca in 3 years. When we lived in Detroit we went to Cleveland for a vacation. Neat city. Quote
Taro T Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 When we lived in Detroit we went to Cleveland for a vacation. Neat city. It was. Being w/ family, hit up several touristy things: Tribe game, zoo, science museum, freighter tour, r&r hof. The concession to my younger self was all meals in local pubs. Pretty much everything but the zoo was walking distance. (Like Steven Wright says: "everything's walking distance if you've got the time" & we had the time.) Other than the Tribe game didn't have any set itinerary at all, which was nice. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 I saw Victor Wooten last night. It was amazing. Aqueous threw down some nice grooves before he took the stage, glad I learned about them. Victor was fantastic. He played this: Afterwards we went to a nearby bar to see Funknut play. They funked hard, and Victor showed up to listen. I got to shake his hand and chat him up a little bit. Super nice guy. Normally, I get a little nervous meeting super famous musicians, but I couldn't help but crack a huge smile when I walked up to him. Victor Wooten! Quote

What's with that video, though? Did some rich guy hire him to play their kid's birthday party? Quote
WildCard Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 Then there's Chuck Berry; what a performer, he absolutely nails this :lol: :lol: Quote
darksabre Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Volkswagen diesel update: 49 mpg over 300 miles this week. This car is amazing. Quote
SwampD Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 I think this is the appropriate thread for this. While shutting down the compound for the night, I closed the garage door. Within the spiderweb that was formed in the handle was trapped a stink bug that I obviously crushed when grabbing it. Sweet baby Jebus on a saltine does this thing stink. I've washed my hands and gotten the stink off of them, but I had to have touched some article of clothing that I am wearing that I can't pin-point cuz I still smell it. Unless the stink is just imprinted on my brain. Look, bug. I'm sorry I killed you. But whatever I have done to you, you can take to the next plane of existence that you have payed me back in spades.

shrader Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Today is my second anniversary. Sure, I'm spending it by returning to work from vacation, but otherwise it's good. Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Today is my second anniversary. Sure, I'm spending it by returning to work from vacation, but otherwise it's good. That is awesome news, indeed. Before you know it you will be celebrating your 25th, like we did a few years back. Time does fly. Congrats!! Quote
qwksndmonster Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 Bringing my 9 year old to the Sabre Store to pick up a T-Shirt on our way out of town this morning and running into Zach Bogosian and Nick Deslauriers in the store. Awesome. I'll send some flowers to the hospital for you. Quote
josie Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 A hockey writer (Kate Cimini) contacted me on twitter as she's writing an article about the NWHL jersey entries that were not chosen. She said she really loved mine and wants to interview me about inspirations, process, etc. and include the designs in the entry. So that's pretty cool... Quote

I'm curious how she got access to the entries that weren't chosen. I think it's cool someone out there wants to give you some recognition. Perhaps the NWHL felt bad about not choosing your entries? I guarantee that, if anything, an article featuring images of your designs will illicit some "what the f*ck?!" responses from people who were actually interested in the process. Quote

josie Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 Haha, so maybe there are other good one like yours out there too? Should be interesting. I hope so! I'd love to see it! I'm sure she's got a few others she's found in order to write an article about it. Quote

darksabre Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 The internet keeps cutting out at work because the forecast is predicting rain, so we took my boss' two stroke bicycle out for some laps around the business park. That was a nice break from the computer. :thumbsup: Quote
