2122-hadn’t heard of any from the last 2 groups, liked the videos of the last matchup, not the music.
-
- The Sixth Sense
- Unbreakable
- The Village
- Signs
- Lady in the Water
- The Happening
Although the twist in The Village is kind of lame, the atmosphere of the movie is pretty cool.
-
I’ve seen all the movies from The Sixth Sense through The Happening. Like most of them with The Sixth Sense the fave, and The Happening the worst. Really want to watch Split and Glass soon.

I may have to try A Farewell to Arms on your and @avatar!'s recommendation. As I said in my post, war stories aren't really my thing (1900s war stories, at least), but I think classics like that are worth checking out anyway.
Dumas is definitely more my style. I read The Three Musketeers last year - but it looks like that was before I started my reading log with writeups. I loved it, though, so The Count of Monte Cristo might make my shortlist.
But next up for me is James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man if my library has it. A friend just recommended it to me and I told him I'd read it if I could find it.
[T-Pac]
The Sun Also Rises is the one that I would give a read next of Hemingway. A Farewell to Arms is a good book, but The Sun Also Rises is a fun read, and captures a lot of how he and a lot of the Lost Generation looked at the world. It’s also a perfect segway to get into Kerouac.
Oh and The Count of Monte Cristo is awesome.

Let's do Grilled Cheese, folks!
People seem to agree that it's a solid idea, so we'll call that the first meal. I'll keep a list on the main thread of suggestions so we don't lose 'em.
For this one I think 3 weeks is plenty of time, so let's aim to all get a grilled cheese meal by the end of the month and share in here. Make sure to take photos, and let us know the process for making what you've made!

If you're not on the list but want to be, lemme know!
I’m in. Still haven’t done a grilled cheese on my Blackstones.

It's ok to like them. But like, there's no way they are like four times better than everything else coming out.
I think if you've played more than four games, you wouldn't think that's a particularly hot take
Agree with a ridiculous exaggeration? Seems like an exercise in futility.

Its always like that with GTA, and has been at least since 3 or vice city.
They somehow managed to market their product to a ""normie"" segment way beyond the typical videogame crowd, which makes it come across like much much more than it is if you just navigate by the hype.
And they just announced that the next GTA game is on its way, so now that hype train is gonna roll on again, and it's gonna be just as exhausting all over again
Or it’s just that people genuinely like them.

It also features one of the best video game characters in the history of games.

10, it’s perfect. The only game I bought and played on 2 different platforms.

2122 never heard either of the second group. The third group was a toss up.

my post on instagram tonight before seeing this thread.

As you already pointed out it seems that everyone on the professional side is eager to declare it an accident, but anyone who can cite visible evidence from the video to indicate a clear accident probably should.
Nah, a load of former NHL’ers came out and said the feet kicking out was not an accident.

No argument there. But you've got guys skating 20mph with blades on their feet and war clubs in their hands. It seems to me there really ought to be someone on each side qualified and ready to stitch up a potentially mortal wound right there on the ice in such an event. JMO.
Something similar happened to a goalie in the NHL quite a few years ago. The trainer ran out to him and mentioned his experience doing similar things in Vietnam as to the reason he was able to save him. Not sure many trainers have similar real world experience.

Brutal.
That looked like quite a kick.
You'd think they'd be well prepared on the sidelines to stop a player's blood loss....
A cut that deep that severs the carotid and jugular means you have very little time to stop it before death. Unfortunately there may have been enough damage between the initial cut and the time he got to the bench that it didn’t matter what happened.

Wait what? I thought it was just an accident or freak accident…you’re saying it was intentional? That’s like manslaughter
edit: jeez apparently he was skating up ice, as a ice hockey fan for many years you always assume this happened while he was down on the ice somehow. How do you even hit someone in the neck with a skate while they are standing…was he like upended or threw his feet while being checked…
To further add, he almost had a collision with another skater and started to fall, and then saw Adam and kicked his legs out and up to interfere with him while he skated by.

In my opinion he clearly reached out with his legs to hit him, and extended them into his neck. I don’t think for a second that he meant to hurt him like this, but the guy is a goon that led the league in penalty minutes. Nothing even close to something resembling a hockey move.
-
As a fellow Minnesotan that saw Adam play in high school and college its terribly sad. The guy that caused it should have charges pressed against him. As someone that has skated my whole life, it was an intentional kick, one of the most reckless things I’ve ever seen in sports.

Isn't the Jucy Lucy burger like the Minneapolis version of the Philly Cheesesteak where it's so popular that two different bars swear they invented it?
Actually you’re absolutely right, yep the Jucy Lucy is ours and Matt’s Bar and the 5/8 Club claim they invented it. (Matt’s is better).

I’d say the closest thing we have in Minnesota would be hotdish (tatertot hotdish is a good example) or walleye for food.
For beer, we have the second oldest brewery in the US, Schell’s still pumping out quality lagers, and our craft brewery scene is probably top 3 in the US. I would only trade for the scenes in San Diego and Portland, Maine if given the choice.

Someone posted this in a Facebook group. From Frasier, cool and random to see Earthbound!

You got it
I'm a bit ashamed it took me so long to read this book (I'm not exactly a teen anymore) but it was a quick and wonderful read. Really made me feel I was part of The Greasers and I got an interesting insight into life in 1967 at Tulsa, Oklahoma!
Fun little read, it was part of our 7th grade curriculum back in 1992.

I’ve seen Deftones and Papa Roach (right before they blew up). Both were really fun shows. That’s the only Killswitch song I know, it’s decent. All of it is too loud for my taste at this age
