As some of you may remember I used to visit and post fairly regularly here at Blue's but have pretty much turned into a lurker for the last few years. That being said, I don't know if I missed something that everyone already knows or if nobody knows the following...
what the hell happened to nin? |

Yes, it's a gaming site but this is the OoTB section which has always been for off-topic discussions - as long as it stays civil of course.
Unless it means we can only talk about the Knicks today...
So who would have thought Phil Jackson would be so bad at being a GM? I figured that there was a chance that he wouldn't be great at the job, but wow, I didn't think anyone could compete with Matt Millen as far as GM incompetence goes but he's giving it a good run. |

I live in SE Washington State and I swear every year whatever Blue is experiencing in weather, especially winter, we have the exact opposite. This is probably something everyone already knows but me, but the Northwest and Northeast corners of the US seem to always be 180 degrees off. I would think that they're far enough apart that they wouldn't have any correlation either way.
This year we're experiencing record snowfall. Personally I've gone through around sixty pounds of ice melt. The last couple years were brutal in the NE and during that time I hardly broke out the snow shovel.
As far as the bacon thing goes, I have a step-brother who's really into smoking and bbq-ing meat and he recently started making his own bacon out of lesser cuts of pork - and it's the best bacon I've ever had. Might have to start being extra nice to him.  |

| Before it all became computerized, I spent 3-4 years as a drafter (mostly electrical schematics) which involved a lot of lettering. Since then all my printing is in capitalized letters and the only cursive I can probably do is my signature. Hell, I can barely print lower case letters anymore because I haven't hardly done it since the early 90's. |

Just, for the love of god, if you get snow there... get some winter tires. I spent 20 minutes one semi-snowy day stuck behind a Miata going 10 mph sideways the whole way.
Yeah, I hate that too... no, I've got my good old '94 Grand Cherokee for when it gets slick. Although I used to drive the Spitfire in the snow, ice, and whatever. It was all I had and I don't remember it being a big deal. Some people just need to stay home when it snows. |

Now's the perfect time to buy that E-Type that you never knew you always wanted.
(Just make sure to swap out the Lucas electrics for something more reliable and those godawful SUs for Weber DCOEs)
I don't know why people always go on about Lucas electrics. I owned a 1976 TR6 once for a few years. It was fun as hell and the I never had any problem with the electrics. Man, that was a fun little car. I often miss it. Then again, I miss my first car, a 1970 Volvo 142, even more. Loved that friggin car. If some asshole lumberjack - that's right Helf, that's why lumberjacks are douchebags! - hadn't plowed into it in his stupid fucking pickup that thing would still be on the road.
Well since we're talking cars...
My car from age 16 to 21 was a 1971 Triumph Spitfire. Repainted it silver with black trim. Mag wheels and BF Goodrich Radial TA's - with raised white letters of course - we're talking late '70's here! Of all the cars I've ever had, and there have been a few, it's the only one I literally have re-occurring dreams of driving again. Not with me being young again, just having an old Triumph, and they were happy dreams.
That's why early this summer I went I bought myself a new, Soul Red Mazda Miata Club and haven't regretted it for a minute. It's just so much fun.

First and foremost, it's good to hear that your wife is OK.
As far as the damage to the car goes though, you might be better off if it is totaled. Over the last five years I've had vehicles hit three times (one hit two different times while parked in two different driveways) so I know what a time sink it can be to get one fixed. First you have to get estimates and hopefully the garage it's in now is acceptable to your insurance. Mine were all drive-able so I had to set up appointments then take time off of work and sit there for upwards to an hour while the estimate was done. Of course most of the time they want more than one. And then once you get an acceptable bid there's scheduling, rides to and from the garage, or organizing a rental. Add to that the continuous back and forth with the insurance company who usually call during working hours. Overall it's just a huge pain in the ass. About 15 years ago I had a car totaled (it wasn't worth much) and it was more like, "here's your check".
Again, this isn't that important compared to everyone's health and a car is just a "thing", but it is fairly vital as far as "things" go.
Good luck. |

Favorite thing I've read today was from Simon Pegg -
If you're sad today, just remember the world is over 4 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Ant! |

Actually, what you're usually seeing and hearing isn't the transformer blowing up, it's the huge circuit breaker blowing. I'm not saying this is always the case, but usually the problem is fixed when the lineman comes out with that long pole they use to flip the breaker back on.
Years ago I just happened to be looking out the window in my back door and glanced up at a squirrel messing around on the top of a transformer when its tail touched the opposite pole than the one it was standing on and BOOM, blinding explosion, power out, squirrel gone!!! Scared the hell out of me! I looked some more and then opened the door to get a better look when - flip, flip, flip, the squirrel finally lands in my back yard. I swear it must of been in the air for over ten seconds. And yes, it had smoke coming off it.
Sorry about your Giants Blue, it was a hell of an entertaining game to watch. OBJ was as out of control as any pro player I've ever seen. |

Yeah, I didn't know Brian Cox wasn't American until I saw him on Top Gear (RIP). The one that really blew me away was listening to Gillian Anderson speaking with her British accent, again on Top Gear (RIP).

Don't get me wrong Blue, I think Knicks fans have every right to be disgusted with the franchise - not even counting last nights draft. Who knows, Porzingis may end up being really good but at best it'll take a couple years, and correct me if I'm wrong but the Knicks hired Phil and signed Carmello to win now. Personally, I doubt any big time free-agents would want to play with Carmello anyway but that's just my opinion.
I also don't think the kid was actually crying, he was making a pouting face for the selfy he was taking. |

| Where I live it's better to call the city than the cops. They will issue warnings to the offender and after two or three warnings they will issue a fine. And yeah, I guess this should only be after a face to face. Although, I don't know, how someone doesn't realize that their dog barking all night just MIGHT be bothering their neighbors... you're probably dealing with a self centered asshole who won't respond well anyway. |

It's one thing to earn fame for doing something great that benefits mankind (educating, inspiring, sacrificing, inventing, etc.), it's another thing to seek fame for the sake of being famous.
So does anything having to do with the arts (movies, music, etc.) count to you? |

Okay.
Obviously, you don't like celebrities. Are you saying that not one of them ever deserved to be mourned or remembered? Is it just actors or is it any famous person?
