Yea, well I’m not one to usually do that, it’s not like I bashed the author and called him an idiot. I just didn’t want to ruin my opinion of the show by clouding it with the negative opinions of reviewers before I even see it.

Ugh, I only read the headline. Sorry, I’m really looking forward to this. I want to go in fresh and form my own opinion. Looking at other stories, it appears you did not like It either, and I loved it. Hopefully we just have different tastes.

I suspect it too, but if it is no biggie. It’s harmless and still entertaining. I’m sure someone local could do the research to verify the timeline.

That’s when you do meatloaf out on the grill. Anything that can be done in an oven can also be done on a grill. You just got to watch it and your temp more carefully, that’s all.

Agreed. People throw them in for color I think. The flavor is too overpowering. Yea, I’m not crazy about them so maybe it’s just me, but I want to taste the meat and seasoning, not a bell pepper flavored meatwad.

Exactly, meatloaf needs that wonderful outer crust. My meatloaf done in the oven hasn’t ever been dry. I don’t think I’m doing anything special. Starts with just the loaf, and then it gets doused in either a red or brown gravy for the last quarter of the cooking time. If yours is dry maybe you’re using too lean a…

The only advantage to microwaved bacon is not having to deal with the grease. It’s faster, tastes better, and easier to do it in a pan. If you want to make a lot at one time, then the oven is the way to go. I still tend to go pan though, because the oven tends to be uneven in my experience. And if you crowd too much…

That’s why you don’t throw it directly down the line. You throw to the foul side of first. I’m still putting this one on Lucroy.

Nope, otherwise you’d have people getting pegged left and right like dodgeball.

Grinder was at least mildly funny at first. Then the same old jokes got stale. Sometimes I wonder if they even think a show will last more then a season. It’s like they’d rather put out new/same old crap every season. Is it too expensive to have an established show because you have to pay everyone?

I watched one random episode of that thinking oh this could be good if done right. It was not. The magic was cheap and too easy to figure out. You should surprise me in the end, not let me figure it out during the first scene.

How can I pull this up in the Spotify app? I’m a novice at it. When I try searching, all I find is a playlist for 1986. I tried launching from Chrome on my phone but it only pulled up the first song in Spotify and not the playlist.

I’ve always thought of the mid to late 70's as the best age for music EVER. BUT when I ready your intro with the top 20 list, I nearly had a stroke. I thought I put all those love songs hidden in a deep place in my head, never to be reminded of again.

The City Museum is pretty cool and fun.

For sure. Was there last year, and downtown is just a ghost town. Activity is only by the convention center or the ballpark. Everywhere else is shuttered.

It’s a heck of a lot better than Applebees. Still a chain, so nothing over the top special, but I’ve enjoyed it the handful of times I’ve been to one.

Kind of feel the same way, but I think it’s because I was kid watching this stuff on cable in the late 80's. So he was a big-star by then.

While a sports team is technically a brand, fandom is different than someone walking around in a Ford hat because he likes to drive F-150's

The only soda “brand” that turned into a lifestyle is Mountain Dew, and that abomination of the early 00's hasn’t aged well. But yes there are some brands that people live, but freaking Pepsi isn’t one of them. 

I can see some people being this way with their choice of alcohol, car, or fashion. Nobody wants to live the Pepsi brand. Marketing people are terrible.
