    I get to spend the weekend getting my irrigation system up to snuff. It was installed about 30 years ago, and clearly no one has done a thing to it since. There are four spray heads that don't work, and one of them is because it is so close to the driveway (literally touching the cement) that...

    Star Trek TNG, Best of Both Worlds

    Ouch. Was the theatre full? The one I was in was stuffed to bursting. Lots of people in Star Trek costumes, too. It didn't add much to my viewing experience. No shit. That's exactly what I'm talking about. And I especially like how she basically said she doesn't like Star Trek, and that...

    Star Trek TNG, Best of Both Worlds

    It was fun to watch, not spectacular, but fun. They also included a whole "making of" thing before hand with a lot of interviews. That was shite. The most interviewed character was the chickie who played Lt. Commander Shelby. I disliked her before, when watching the episode. I seriously...

    Beer can chicken update: effing delicious. Served with a salad of young greens with craisins, home made croutons, and goat cheese. Mild apple vinaigrette to top if you're in the mood.

    If you want to keep it really simple, you could just get a good impulse sprinkler, and put it at about centre on a raised platform. Put it 3 feet up, and you'd get the whole garden with that. Easy to put on a timer, cheap to do, and will get everything watered.

    Replacing bacon with carrots is like replacing sex with chickenpox. That said, I'm doing a beer-can chicken tomorrow night on my grill. Ah, summer. (everyone knows the deliciousness that is beer-can chicken, right? Here's the last one I made

    Rough day. I came home and found a huge leek in the bathroom. (Sorry. I couldn't resist.)

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    Good question. No updates right now, but I'd be surprised if the game happens. The city is asking people to please, please stay in their homes. Can't imagine they'd be happy to have 15,000 go to a hockey game. http://www.tdgarden.com/calendar/769.html

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    City of Boston just announced that ALL public transit is suspended until further notice. The city desperately hopes that everyone stays home and inside. The city recognizes that this might go on for several days. This is unreal. Video feed of a press conference. Sorry, it's from Fox...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    They're about to do a controlled explosion in a property (house of interest?) to make it safe for police to enter and search.

    I would love to see a Chicago-Toronto final. I know it's unlikely, but it would be excellent.

    I could not possibly have gleaned that from your previous posts. Thank you for clarifying.

    That's why you deal with the 2nd lowest estimate.

    Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel about Tarrant.

    If you get a written estimate, in most states and provinces you can use that as a "the job will not exceed this cost" guarantee, unless something very extreme happens. Get three estimates, call the 2nd lowest one, tell them if they can beat the lowest by x amount, the job is theirs.

    There are African Americans, why not Jewish Mexicans? Mexijews? Jewicans? The name Jesus works for both cultures.
