BOBBLEHEAD FEVER -- CATCH IT!
The first person to get a Brommer bobblehead and make a video with it bobbing its head to "Gin and Juice" wins, um, well nothing but my admiration. BUT STILL.
Anyway, here's your open thread for the evening. There's baseball on TBS (Cardinals-Brewers), football on ESPN (Cal-USC), hockey on... various channels, comedies on FX, and whatever else floats your television-viewing boat. The normal open threading rules apply.

Matt Barkley looks like such a giant tool
Choke/Clutch is the fetishization of the small sample size.
"Except for half a dozen in each town the citizens are proud of that achievement of ignorance which is so easy to come by. To be 'intellectual' or 'artistic' or, in their own word, to be 'highbrow,' is to be priggish and of dubious virtue." —Sinclair Lewis
Barkley is a first round or second round draft prospect, I'd take him too.

he's not going long after Luck
he looks like a tool, but he’s tool that plays QB well.

Yeah I have seen that too
but I didnt want to sound too definitive because qb’s drop a lot sometimes.

Jake Locker should have done this.
But he didn’t drop nearly as far as he should have.

Really?
I guess he’s the next Matt Leinart, then.

I would think the hope is that he'll be a healthier Palmer in a less shitty ownership situation.

Oh, I'm sure that will be the hope.
Maybe I haven’t watched enough USC football. I just have a hard time picturing Matt Barkley as a legitimate NFL QB. Feels like a Leinart or Clausen type prospect.
by The Mexican't on Oct 13, 2011 9:49 PM CDT up reply actions
Same was for me,
USC just doesnt seem relevant right now to pay attention to how good their quarterback is.
by clay-born to party on Oct 13, 2011 9:51 PM CDT up reply actions
I've watched a fair amount of USC and Barkley hasn't blown me away, either.
Maybe he’ll get better, but he seems a little Leinart/Clausen/Quinn-esque to me right now.

Important question: Is anyone else watching American Horror Story?
B/c I think it is super, and I’m not just referring to Dylan McDermott’s hot ass. (he’s naked A LOT) It’s batshit crazy and I’m not really sure how it’s going to fill a season but I’m not sure I can live w/o it.
Is it scary gross?
I see something listed as ‘horror’ & it makes me think of Nightmare on Elm Street. I am not a girl who liked that as a kid.

Here's a story, for the first time in my life, I'm impressed with Apple.
At a volleyball tourney on Saturday at Jefferson, my son drops my ipod from the middle of the bleachers to the gym floor. I scramble down underneath the bleachers to find my ipod still playing Mickey Mouse (my son loses his ipod priveledges). Later, I’m on my ipod, suddenly it goes into recovery mode, I spend the next 24 hours trying to get it out of recovery mode and stay out. My search of the Apple site reveals that if I think it’s not covered by the warranty, I have to pay over $200 to replace it. But if I send it in on warranty, they send it back if it’s not covered. I take the risk of spending more time with out my ipod to avoid spending money.
My wife ships the ipod for free through UPS to Apple on Tuesday afternoon. The replacement ipod arrived today via FedEx! That is an amazing turn around time! My son breaks it on Saturday, by Thursday I’ve got a completely free replacement.

Yeah, we were walking the strip (not a recommended idea) before the Lesnar-Carwin weigh-ins.
Planet Hollywood was about halfway between our hotel (Circus Circus) and the fight location (MGM). We walked for something like 3 hours. Of course, we were sight seeing, but it’s still a much longer walk than we’d anticipated.
by The Mexican't on Oct 13, 2011 10:47 PM CDT up reply actions
Walking the strip is an adventure
We were drunk and we swore we were walking past Caesar’s for 15 minutes. That place is ridiculously big.
The mall at Caesar's is trippy as fuck.
We probably spent an hour wandering the shops there. It’s just so easy to lose time in Vegas.
by The Mexican't on Oct 13, 2011 10:53 PM CDT up reply actions
We had a blast.
And our timing was almost perfect. We actually sat in and watched the final table at the WSOP Tournament of Champions. I was the lame ass asking players for autographs. Luckily they were for my dad so the players were more than willing to sign.
Vegas in July sounds like a crazy idea, but if I get to go back it’ll definitely be at the same time of year.

So what you all are saying is that I need to go to Wich Wich while in IC this weekend? There used to be a really good sandwich place by Mickeys and out by the old Best Buy when it was on the east side of town, I think it was called Sub Shop or something like that.

"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
hopefully the new writers get their shit together
because the last few episodes of that season were awful, after a 10/10 pilot and solid second episode
They need to let zombie attacks thin out the cast.
And if that damn obnoxious redneck never reappears, I will be very happy
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
yeah
him, and the black father and son. those two were great in the pilot,never heard from again.
also, character development. after a season, i should know peoples names and be rooting for them to survive zombie attacks. when the zombies hit the camp i didnt care when a bunch of people got bitten.
and adding to this
they had no one guarding the camp or any kind of fence or warning system. fools had it coming.
I skimmed through the graphic novel plots
Not anything like the show so there’s not much to compare.
I think they're going to cherrypick stuff from the comics.
I’ll be stunned if they don’t pull a few particular story arcs from there.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
The ones I'm thinking of are probably more long-term than just an episode.
