Well, I can’t answer for the creatures, but the cherry blossoms in Tom McCall Park and the dragon boat race are all real.

On one hand, this seems a little forced, and I thought I would roll my eyes at some point. But I didn’t! This is delightful! Props to them.

While I was reading this whole thread, I wondered when somebody would get it. He revealed himself too early with the Pantera bit. Bravo, sir.

I think this is all on NBC. They have very few sporting events, and will go through ridiculous amounts of work to make sure us viewers associate the games with them and them alone. So, lacking longterm stars because of the sporadic nature of the games, they forge these stupid fucking narratives. Unlike regularly…

Exactly! I’ve read waaaaay more of it than I should have (plus video games, comics, etc), and everybody should just know: Star Wars is schlocky. Sometimes it hits higher than that, but at it’s base it’s high-level 1970's cheesy scifi. Don’t hamper your enjoyment of it because you build it up to this lofty standard in…

For all of the people complaining, I really wonder how deep you dove in to the EU before it died. If you look at the entirety of Star Wars media... most of it was junk. So even if these movies are only OK, it’s going to be miles ahead of the prequels, or 90% of the EU books. Chill out, and realize that we are in a…

Worse shape than he found it? They’ve been to the finals 3 times in a row and finally won one. They suck now, but let’s be realistic here.

It’s always fun to see somebody really feeling it and have one of these games. He’s still in the game at the moment, just coming in to the 4th. Career high 48 points... on the 2nd of a back to back!

Yeah, that’s #2 for me. Both are phenomenal albums, but Ziggy is probably more cohesive.

Best Bowie album? I think so.

Alright, by Superfly. Ignore the video (which is really crappy for an official upload...)

Why thank you.

What about the Baltimore Blue Lives Matter? Or the Phoenix Fake News?

Nobody is going to read this anyway, but here I go: I was in Japan for the entirety of the last NFL season (and some), which meant I was in a time zone that was radically different from the NFL, so I only got to watch the night games (Monday, Sunday, and Thursday) - which almost always suck. This means I didn’t watch…

That, and the between the legs pass really made for a fun game. Great night if basketball, with back to back comebacks!

Seconding your headcanon statement. So many people are pissy because it didn’t live up to what they thought would happen, but if it did it would have been predictable trash, line the prequels. For example, Rey having famous parents is some prequel bullshit and wasn’t alluded to AT ALL. Even if they had done that,…

Ding ding ding!! We have a winner. That’s where I’m at. I can’t stand listening to the guy, but GodDAMN is he good. It really has little to do with race, I think. He’s just so phony.

Oh god yes. The worst is being taxied around the tarmac. Blegh

I have a suggestion for worst place to be hungover, and it’s worse than the office: in a plane being taxied around the tarmac for what feels like eternity. It’s just pure misery. All the nausea of being in the car, with none of the ability to pull over and puke. I swear I would have rather died.

That would be unfortunate - I really like Chenoweth and thought she did a great job. She’s not like the book, but great in her own way.
