How 'bout those CHIEFS!

The fireworks are booming around town. The first "Superbowl" was crushing as a kid, so the winning Superbowl IV was rewarding. I have held onto the Sports Illustrated from that Victory, and have it here on my computer desk.

KC went through a long drought with the Royals, and now an even longer drought with the Chiefs is over.

Thank you Coach Reid and all the players.

I live a couple of miles North of the Stadiums and can see the Stealth come in for the flyovers from my backyard. There have been random fireworks going off in the neighborhood since the game ended. I was about 13 the last time the Chiefs were in a Superbowl. Yeah I am old. Oddly this week also saw the passing of the Royals former owner David Glass, who owned the team when they won the World Series.

Wow, KC did that pretty handily didn't they? I guess people in KC are going to be eating Kansas City style ribs tonight aren't they?

Huh, always wondered how much those flyovers cost....

I have decided to stop participating in the ESPN UPickem/Pigskin Pickem competition. I have had my fill of the brouhaha and will not be spending any more time on the NFL. So from here on that is why you will see goose eggs and my name plummeting to the bottom.

The issue of geography is out especially with donny making up countries in Africa. (i guess that would be included with Education)

I seem to remember Barry stating he had visited 57 states...

I did the credit freeze for Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. Experian was by far the most convoluted process. In fact I couldn't get Experians's online freeze to take. They asked me to upload scans of my driver's license and a utility bill. But once I tried to upload them it rejected them because they were not tiff format (they never specified what format was expected). I did it again in tiff and it rejected it because it was in color, not b&w (again no specification beforehand). I redid the scans a third time and it continued to insist they were in color. At this point I called their automated phone line and completed the freeze that way. But with my wife's info I couldn't get Experian to accept an online request, or the automated phone request. So we are having to mail in the documentation via snail mail.

Detest Steely Dan. That is all.

Played BC, BC2, BF3, and BF4, but that's where they left me - every DICE release since then has been a no-go for me. It is way past time they got back to BC3, or even 2143.

Re: The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 8-22-2017 – PlayStation.Blog.

Duck Game FTW!

Now I say this as someone who still plays this...yesterday I played and it was early access, today it is "released" but it looks/plays exactly the same.

Maybe the sale will bring in some new blood.

Downloaded the update this morning on my PS4. Got in the game saw a few of the new additions, then teleported back to my base, stepped out the front door and through the ground into limbo. I think I'll shelve this again until they patch the new update.

I'd say Trump is the best dad ever because he let's his daughter be President.

Now that's funny.

So glowing round chest power core? Why would you advertise where the power core is? I thought this was the next Iron Man. So confusing, or is it amusing - ripoff?

Re: 'Stargate' revival will launch a new MGM streaming service.

Must just be me, but going back to the time they dug up the gate in Egypt and basing a show on that seems dull. They didn't know what they had for decades. So we will be treated to show after show of the gate sitting there lifeless?

Re: Amazon Prime Day breaks record; sales grew by more than 60 percent

I have to agree with Cutter on this one. I have looked at what was offered on the last two Prime Day sales and saw nothing worth all the free hype the media gives this. Not sure anyone risks life and limb for Prime Day like they do Black Friday. But you won't be rewarded for all the lost time you spend browsing through the pages of crapola.

I use the harmonica riff from Once Upon a Time in the West as my cell ring tone. I have yet to hear that on any other phone.

I remember going to the theater to see Blade Runner shortly after it opened in 1982. We were so starved for serious science fiction movies then. All we had prior to this was 2001 and Alien (I might put Empire Strikes Back in there). 35 years ago? Man I am feeling old.

Holy shitballs that's an insane shot. 10 seconds to reach the target? Guy must have been sitting down or something. I love how they mention the US would have just dropped a bomb and killed all the civies in the area as well, lol, so true.

Before reading this my thought (jokingly) was he must have taken the curvature of the Earth into account. Then I read at that distance they do!
