Out of the Blue [Sep 05, 2024, 10:40 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Life comes at you fast, and to help prove the point, tackle football season is
now once again upon us. Tonight is a terrific opener for the NFL as the Ravens
take on the champion Chiefs. There's another game tomorrow night in Brazil, of
all places. Brazilians love football, but Pele didn't wear a helmet, and that
passion is directed at an entirely different sport, so that should be
interesting. Anyway, this means there's still time to get in on the ground floor
of the
Pigskin Pick'em 2024 Blue's News Group (password "bn"). It's free to join,
free to play, and there's nothing at stake but pride, but you can't put a price
on that. Feel free to share the link and password, and good luck to all
participants.

I'm trying to get my sister to join the pickems group. The girl knows football. She trounces me, although that isn't saying much. I figured that I'm not going to convince BoP so I will try her. But there's always next year, BoP! I can be very persuasive.

I mean you can try but you might as well try and get me to switch to a Mac or, worse, go back to Windows.
BUNNY SLIPPERS UPDATE!
The bunny slippers have been delivered to Prez. We can now all eagerly await pics modeling said slippers.

As Concord flops, Sony exec says company doesn't have enough original IP.
The issue is that Sony backed a product that heavily pushed a political agenda, which led to swift and massive pushback. If Sony had pushed the developer to focus on non-political elements with a strong, lengthy single-player story, Concord might have become a genuinely unique offering. I mean, I wouldâve probably played something like that, especially since Blizzard scrapped the story mode for Overwatch 2âa feature many were really excited about.
All I can say to their decision is "FRNxT GHRT sony GURM" and then point to random things.

Had to look up that house out of curiosity. So it's on a postage stamp sized lot - 2504 sqft - and you'll have to pay god knows how many 10s of 1000s to get the rest of demo'd and dumped - then build a new place. Average home price there seems to be about a mil. Still 500k for a tiny ass plot for a place - even in the burbs of LA - is fucking ridiculous.

A potential buyer would likely be interested in the lot's value for future development.

Close is too Close
I'm willing to bet that more than one park ranger has joked about letting tourists get too close. And the only reason they'd never do that is not because a touron might get injured, but because the bear would be put down for doing bear things.

This is the second most epic thing on Blues ever.
The first most epic was coincidentally also this week, and was Nullity's American Gladiators joke.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha!
I paid to have them gift wrapped and with a gift note. Did they arrive so wrapped and noted?
On a personal note, I want to say that this has been fun for me and I really enjoyed it, even if it was just a gag gift. Undoubtedly some of the most joy I have felt in the last almost three years. Seriously, thank you Prez for going along with it.

Hey Hexen 2 was the shit! I like watching retrospectives on YouTube. And the pajamas say "Bounty Hunter". I think they are from Mandalorian. My mom or my sister probably picked them up for me at some point.
And BoP, it is fun for me too. I needed something like that to help me smile a bit myself. My sister wants me to wear them all of the time. The note a the wrapping were there. You da man.

Apparently it's political to have characters others don't want to fuck.
