If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

Who's doing it? I know Chz is. I think ink mentioned it?
 

I'm starting to come around on the idea. I have a car that is perfect for it and I like the idea of being able to just fire the app up when I'm bored and take a couple fares. 

Has it been worthwhile or a waste of time?

Well...

Preseason schedule is out.

2017-18 season schedules are coming out 3 o'clock this Thursday.

Did you here that Ott is now an Assistant Coach for the Blues?

Since we have a hit thread about complaints, I thought maybe we could have a thread for Fridays where we reflect on good things, positive moments, rave about a restaurant, new additions to your family, etc.

I guess my initial rave would be:

Fridays, for many of us, are the end of the work week - which is great! For others, Friday is also payday!

A new thread to discuss all things about the beautiful game.

I'll start with:

Some things never change. Beckham will not be bending it in the next LA Galaxy match. He has been suspended for "provocative behavior", which earned him a yellow card. That warning put him over the magic number and was suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

EDIT: Below is a link to the story.

.

Scandella and Risto are a given.

Guhle looks ready for an NHL role.

Nelson (UFA) and Antipin (RFA) are showing improvement and easily could be in the mix next season.

McCabe is a steady cheap D who was playing good hockey before he got hurt.

Bogo, aka Mr. Glass, is still under contract for 2 more years and Baloo, aka Mr Turnover, is also under contract for next season.  

Is that our 8 for next season? I still think it's missing a true game breaker, but that doesn't look terrible. Читать дальше...

I really envy you northerners. Here it is almost mid-December and it's 82° outside at 7:45PM. It has dropped below 70 for a total of two hours in the last 11 days. I don't care where you live, the AC shouldn't be running this close to Christmas at 3AM. In the last seven weeks we've had .3" of rain. 

I got into new wave/alt music in college during the 80’s. I also just finished reading former KROQ DJ and current XM First Wave DJ Richard Blade’s Autobiography and he was at the fore front of discovering and promoting bands like Berlin, Talk Talk, Depeche Mode and INXS.

I’m thinking the best 250-300 songs of that era (1977-1987). Bands can have more then one song on the list. Nominations? Should I do this in poll form?

EDIT: Please limit your suggestions to 4-5 songs at most per post. Читать дальше...

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

So I've cancelled Directv. I'm done with it. I'm hesitant to go back to time Warner as all their hardware sucks. So I'm looking for alternative methods to get what I like to watch.

Let me preface this with, I barely ever watch network TV. My programming is essentially sports, AMC shows, HBO and Showtime series. So what's my best options?

Kevin Porter named Rochester Captain.
