My boys loved scary movies when they were younger (think 12 and 7) so we rented this one night; I’d read the book so figured it would be a fun romp. That ending resulted in projectile weeping and trauma from both boys. Was NOT prepared for that.

Also - what the heck do I have to do to get out of the greys? I’ve been participating in conversations on this thing for years and years.

I’m there with God of War - I’ve reached the final Valkyrie and am just not feeling the urge to keep losing over and over and over again.

I think what the author doesn’t state correctly, but that IS a valid point, is the difference between a whetstone and a waterstone.
Whetstones have been used forever, but my impression is that the use of waterstones for sharpening is a relatively recent thing in the West, whereas they’ve been used in Japan for centuries…

About ten years ago a friend of mine gave my son and I a ride in his older pickup truck; at one point I noticed my son - who was about 9 at the time - looking at the door with a look of puzzlement on his face. “What’s that?” he asked - and pointed at the window crank handle.

Shuri’s fate was shown in the first trailer released back in December. 

Oh, I’m not ashamed that I like it!

I was in college when the original Conan the Barbarian came out; it was in heavy rotation on whatever video playing device was standard for many many years since - to the point that I can quote most of the movie start to finish.

Never saw the movie, but that album was kind of a primer for young me discovering the music of the time.

One of my favorite Robin Williams stories - one not covered in the documentary - is how he would call Steven Spielberg weekly while Spielberg was working on Schindler’s List and do 15 minutes of standup to keep him from being overwhelmed by the subject matter.

Some will sniff and say the Salt Lick is too touristy, but it’s still fun and the barbecue is great (though if you want The Real Deal, take a drive to nearby Lockhart, the bbq Mecca). If you’re looking for good sushi or fusion, Uchi and Uchiko are amazing. We’ve got a really thriving food trailer scene. A drive out…

Spent ten days in Ireland over Christmas in 2016 and the first night went to a pub in Cork and asked for a whiskey recommendation. Without hesitation they suggested Redbreast - and they were not wrong.

It’s not Christmas for me until I hear Lou Rawls sing “Merry Christmas, Baby”.

My fiancee likes to put a little dab of sriracha in the bottom of the egg white before adding the filling. Mmmm.

My fiancee sneezes in the form of a scream - seriously, it’s like she’s screeching at the top of her lungs - so instead of “bless you” I usually respond with a startled, “JESUS CHRIST!”

Which I guess is kind of a religious response after all...

You are, of course, correct and I STILL get cornea and retina confused.

Every cat I’ve ever seen begs to disagree.

I just purchased a pair of the Cloud II’s for use with my XBox One. I’ve found the sound quality to be great, though as I had been warned the surround is not really like a real surround system - but that’s tricky with a headset format. I’m happy with my purchase with one exception - I’ve got a pretty big head, and…

Really? In the pulp - the remnants of the juicing that are usually discarded or composted...

I think you’re confusing juicing, which absolutely does remove material in the form of the pulp, with making smoothies, in which the entire fruit or vegetable is pulverized and mixed.
