I'm just waiting for the tour where Smyth opens for Smith.

Yeah, I dispiritedly assume that this was de rigeur until quite recently. Cosby is the one we've heard about because he's lived long enough for more people to start caring. And him being Black doesn't hurt.

It's hard to tell if she was just bad or if she was good at portraying someone we weren't much supposed to like.

I really liked Jo in the past. This year she didn't have much to do.

If you can't understand the distinction between truth and bullshit, you're not a moderate.

Moana isn't the best of the recent Disney Studios films, but it's the one that gets me crying most consistently.

Please be Wildcards, please be Wildcards—

There's a similar plot on L.A. Law. I wonder if it's less the zeitgeist of the time and more that David Rappaport moved to Hollywood.

I was a big Riptide fan back in the day for some reason.

I have flashes of recognition for all the comedies, but Cheers is the only one I really remember. Which is strange, because I never cottoned to Woody and stopped watching with any regularity once he showed up. It's not Harrelson's fault that he wasn't Colasanto, but he wasn't.

The silver lining of the current debacle is that people are polishing their Fredo impressions.

I won! Because the woman who keeps winning decided to let somebody else win, but still.

That's probably all good new for people actually trying to play it now. Although I admiit part of what I loved about the original was its ridiculous scope. But I only ever tried to play a couple times — mostly I just read the rulebooks obsessively.

Back to Risk Legacy after a few weeks off. I think some of the others in our group are getting tired of it because one woman keeps winning no matter how we gang up to try to stop her. But I'm still enjoying it, and we have a couple more boxes to open up, which changed things quite a bit last time.

OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system, how does the new TORG edition feel? I've been glancing at it from time to time, but I'm so far out of the demographic now, so I can't say I've been playing close attention. I admit, I'm surprised it's gotten this far given all the other attempts to revive the game over…

Upvoted for upvoting for TORG.

TOOOOOOOORRRRRRRGGGG!

That seems unfair. Maybe somebody just wants to play Zelda but doesn't want to pay $500 to do it.

I've been astounded at how long the Wachowskis have been able to convince studios to give them hundreds of millions of dollars to make projects especially for me and, like, 28 other people.

So you ARE a Speed Racer fan, huh?
