I will also now mention that, with the adrenaline of the whole urgent mess gone, my neck & back are now making it very clear that I'm too old to be basically changing the same tire 3x in one afternoon.

My shoulder has deferred comment thus far but I expect to hear from it in the morning.

Bought a Keurig(B-60 I think) the other day and its great. Got a few of the fillable adapters in case I run out of K-Cups. Hoping that I don't encounter the problems that others have had.

jeff061 · 03-05-2013, 07:35 PM

I've heard several stories of peoples keurig breaking down after three years, calling keurig and getting a new model shipped to them free of cost. Granted its likely because they make most their money on the coffee, its still good customer service.

Apparently Rob Delaney was on Kimmel on 2/19 and bombed so badly that either he or Kimmel's people had it removed completely from the internet.

If anyone more web-savvy than me googling/youtubing "Rob Delaney Kimmel" to no avail, know's of a way to unearth this video, by all means drop a link!

Not sure when bashing teachers became fun but I guess it's easier than calling out the faults in yourself and our country's culture.

As I was saying, it seems to be taken down. That link just provides a loop of a 30 second ad, no show.

Don't think it was a specific kind, just "generic kimchi". The jar just said "sliced kimchi", no specific kind of flavor or whatnot. I bought it from a Korean market near where I live ( Hmart.com: Online Shopping for Asian Grocery, Korean Kimchi, Rice Cookers, Appliances & more at everyday low prices. ).

Edit: Checked the jar. It says "mat kimchi".

It could have been a generic kimchi, then. Was it cabbage or a vegetable yellow in color? Just asking. There are some types of kimchi that I love and others not so much.

Also, thanks for the link. I'll save that one in case my wife and I move to the States, and my wife is craving some home!

The main ingredient was Napa Cabbage. I also saw radish kimchi there. Might give that a try if I'm feeling adventurous.

Admittedly it's been on one of the movie channels a ton this month, but Heat is perhaps my favorite movie. I can't decide if I like it or Goodfellas more, but I pretty much watch either at any point that they are on.

Seeing that Gene Siskel died 14 years ago is a good way to make a 27 year old feel old.

cuervo72 · 03-12-2013, 12:13 PM

Reading that you're 27 is enough to make the rest of us feel old.

I was almost 27 when Gene Siskel died. Thanks, Shorty.

kcchief19 · 03-12-2013, 06:51 PM

Knowing Shorty is 27 makes me feel old.

No where else to complain about my Out of the Park bad beat I just suffered so it goes here. Game 5 of the 1972 World Series, the Show-Me Series between the Royals and Cardinals. Game 5 with the Cards up 3-1 in the series. Royals take a 3-2 lead to the bottom of the ninth and look to send the Series back to KC.

Inning starts with a pop-up to short then a single and a triple ties the game. After an intentional walk and a strikeout, reliever Ken Wright pitches from the stretch ... and balks in the winning run.

Can you imagine a World Series ending on a balk in real life?

Suburban Rhythm · 03-13-2013, 11:33 AM

25 years ago, in a backyard kickball or whiffleball game, nobody thought anything of declaring a ghost-runner to take your place on 2nd, and going back to bat.

Why can't I show up to work, declare a ghost-worker, and head back home for a little while?

We didn't ever run in wiffleball...automatics based on how the ball was hit. But you still had the ghost runner.

Technically, wouldn't this be more akin to going home, declaring a ghost television watcher, then heading back to work?

I grabbed a bag by accident at the store. I should just throw the bag away, but yet I just suffer through.

Unsalted Ketchup is the worst I think, but unsalted Chips taste pretty bad. I'd suggest salting them and throwing them in the oven for a minute. Might save the day.

I watch a lot of sports on television. This week with Ncaa tourneys probably around 70-80 hours.
