Beerguyrob’s brief Beerguy movie review:
I loved it. It takes the general story told in “The Right Stuff” and expands upon the Neil Armstrong kids my age grew up idolizing because he walked on the moon. (Also, Alan Shepard – because he took his 9-iron.)
I never read the book it was based on, but Baby Goose is excellent portraying a man who wanted to do his job & do it well. Claire Foy is steely as his wife. The highlights of the movie are the space training sessions, as they show the incredible amount of work that went into planning & prepping for the Apollo missions.
One quibble – I always thought it was pronounced “Gem-men-eye”, but in the movie everyone says “Gem-min-ee”, and it was irritating to hear.
The movie is hardly anti-American or anti-patriotic. Flag fellators might be upset there isn’t one every five feet, but the whole movie is set in the context of the Cold War “Space Race”, and as a battle to beat the Russians. Maybe they’re upset because, even though the landing occured under a Republican, the movie keeps using Kennedy speeches & quotes. It couldn’t be more-pro-American.
If it’s still in theatres, go see it in IMAX. The last 20 minutes are in it, and even at the regular screen I saw, you could grasp the majesty of the lunar surface when the transition occurred.

@Spanky,
I brought up your suggestion about using the spoiler instead of breaking up the NSFW links in the back room.
Apparently, the image still loads, so IT departments would be able to see it in people’s cache and that could land them in trouble. For that reason, it was decided it wasn’t a good idea.
Yes, I know we show hot girls in skimpy outfits and lines are blurry, but we drew it from the very beginning at a certain point on purpose and we want to stick with that line.
I hope that explanation makes sense.
It was also pointed out that sometimes the spoiler feature doesn’t work correctly, so that’s something else to consider.

I bought halloween candy on Saturday. The Hershey miniatures assortment, 185 pieces. Tried each of the candies and they rate as follows:
5. Hershey milk chocolate: Solid old friend but it’s no Ghirardelli.
4. Kit Kat: Too crunchy and noisy for the quiet car.
3. Rolo: Milk chocolate and caramel? Fuck yes!
2. Reese’s pb cup: If the Rolo was the same size as the Reese’s they might have swapped positions.
1.Heath bar: Toffee and chocolate; so damn good.
Heath Bars rock. But it’s like you need to get a dental cleaning when you’re done.
Tonight I thought I’d have a bit more of the candy and noticed it was damn dificult to find my favorite, the Heath bar. This got me to wondering just what the ratio of the five sweets was. So I poured them on the table and counted, adding back in the few I had eaten.
Reese’s – 62
Kit Kat – 58
Rolo – 34
Hershey – 21
Heath – 11. ELEVEN!

It sounds like Daniel Bryan just got himself written off Crown Jewel. It’s been interesting to see who draws the line. Jern’s may have been all public image decisions, but Bryan literally decided it was worth possibly dying to wrestle again, but isn’t willing to do Saudi Arabia.

It says a lot that that was the line. It says way more that those are the only two refusing to go.

Part 1 of my continuing series on How to Piss Hippo Off:
Rams opponents and records:
1- Raiders 1-6
2- Cardinals 2-6
3- Chargers 5-2
4- Vikings 4-3-1
5- Seahawks 4-3
6- Broncos 3-5
7- 49ers 1-7
8- Packers 3-3-1
Total record of opponents: 23-35-2
First place schedule indeed…
Which part covers pill bottles with the hardest lids to remove?
“First place schedule indeed”
Maybe the schedulers can base it of of future team records.
Eight of the 35 are loses to the Rams. The poor teams were dominated, as you’ expect.
Continued Balls’ disassociation from the sport.
There are four teams that are far and above the rest of the pack and the Rams are part of those whether you have a grudge or not. Those four team are mostly why the records you so proudly present are what they are.
Why didn’t you say “They are worst 8-0 team in the NFL, BY FAR!”
Amended: How to Piss Off Hippo and Moose
I’m not pissed, just found your point to be dumb, so being OCD I pointed it out.
That crack about the first place schedule was because Hippo brought it up in an earlier post.
Just because I don’t give a shit if the Steelers win or lose and otherwise don’t care about ther league doesn’t mean I can’t give Internet friends shit for going overboard backing a young team that, yeah, looks good, but hasn’t accomplished anything yet.
Plus, he thinks the Bears are good… The man needs an intervention.
We’ll see in about nine weeks, fall and rise happen every year. I find it fun to watch the way they go about their football and I’m glad they turned it around… so far. With the turnover, every team is new or young.
I admit I have watched some of their games and I do like the coach and they are certainly talented. Perhaps I should have used inexperienced instead of young. I’ll happily contribute $100 to Hippo’s charity of choice if they make the Super Bowl.
I just love stirring shit up and getting Hippo all worked up.
I think his betting habits do a great job too.
Anything can happen in the playoffs, but I expect them to situate themselves for success.
I will give you shit about your “I’m done” type statements every time you demonstrate that you still watch. It’s a little empty because you don’t seem to have the bettor’s/ FFers anger. That’s when it is interesting.
I still love the game. Heck, I’m watching high school football because a friend’s son plays and i’m liking how aggressive the coaches are now. They hardly ever punt and go for it on 4th down from their side of the field.
I hate the NCAA and all it stands for and I hate Roger Goodell and how he has changed the NFL game for the worse.
I still watch occasionally the national broadcasts because it’s fun to joke with the people on this site and you need a frame of reference for that. But I honestly don’t root for the Steelers anymore and the passion is gone.
I still won’t spend another dime on NFL merchandise. Unless it’s counterfeit and I know the profits won’t go back to them assholes.
I have a couple of jerseys that never get worn from years ago, but was never into the merch, stuff.
Prolly lucky they don’t sell memes or GIFs.
After you kidding? You’d make a fortune!
Shit, I attribute at least 50% of our website hits to your gifs and jpgs.
7% are Brick Meathook fans.
Is that rounded up from 6.9%?
Nice.
It’s rounded up from 1%
I’d go broke buyin’ weird shit….. this may happen anyway.
Ty Montgomery didn’t get traded as much as he got shitcanned by the Packers.
I suppose it could be worse…he could be on his way to Buffalo or Cleveland.

“‘Darkman’ is probably the scariest movie you’ll ever see. I warned everybody about this years ago.”*
-DJT
*not even remotely true
“From Russia with Love, very good film, some say the best, but I didn’t ask for love they just sent it.”
So I came home today and found one (of our last two) chicken dead in the backyard. She was tore up but that’s no surprise considering my dogs.
We have a coop that is fenced in by a picket fence with wire mesh between the slats. I figured she had jumped/flown out but she was alone and she’s the coward so it didn’t make much sense. I also see that the one remaining got beat up on the back because she’s missing feathers back there. This confused me because, while I don’t trust my dogs with the birds out, they don’t work the fence and the birds always scurry away when the dogs are around. So this is weird but then I also find a dead pigeon in the chicken coop but can’t see how it died.
So now I’m thinking it’s one of these fucking feral cats. I mean, the chicken could have flown out and gotten killed by my dogs but, while possible, just doesn’t seem likely (she only flew out once and that was like 8 months ago and the bulky chickens were still alive; and my dogs stay inside almost all day lately. Also, they bring trophies inside.) and doesn’t explain the pigeon. But I don’t know — these are the first chickens we’ve owned and, while they seem to just live to attempt death, I don’t really know how these fucking cats are.
This might sound crazy, but could it have been some kind of raptor (hawk, eagle, etc.)?
I thought about a bird too but; (1) I am IN the city. Sure, there aren’t skyscrapers here but this is legitimately urban (no Fozz, this is not a challenge); (2) I got a big pecan tree over the yard plus another tree inside the fence with the birds. They are in the corner so along the walls are some citrus trees so, to fly in, you’d have to be in like one of the Independence Day little saucers. (3) With the 6′ walls on two sides and a 30-36 inch picket fence on the other 2, the whole area is only about 8′ x 16-20′. With the coop and tree obstructions, the hawk would have to be absolutely perfect in their attacks and exits — and that’s assuming the chickens are hanging out in part of the about 4 square feet of vulnerability, considering the topography around them.
Shit. That sounds like a challenge I’m sure some raptors would be willing to engage in.
My uncle has chickens and birds of prey and raccoons are the biggest causes of their deaths. He solved the larger bird issue by running some kind of chain-link fencing over the top of their enclosure. Keeps the chickens in too. Raccoons still occasionally find a way through though.
this makes sense I am not really sure a cat -even a feral – would fuck with a chicken. Never really seen mine (and I have parented some predatory motherfuckers) shy away from anything winged bigger than a songbird.
Cats are mostly lazy.
I’ve had some that killed squirrel in tandem, which impressed the shit out of me. And almost every cat I’ve had takes bird killin’ as a nigh-religious calling. At least until they age out of it, around 10 or so.
Like every house on my street has a feral cat (plus all the other ones that travel through the alley), they literally all sit in their respective front yards every evening. I could see once of those dicks just walking down the wall, jumping in, the dead bird flying out and either getting wounded or killed in the backyard outside the fence.
Hmmmm. I googled it and I guess we have some racoons. We got coyotes around here sometimes (there is a golf course not far away) and all the animals seems to be coming to our area because we have irrigation so all the big trees and lawns are green and wet.
Yeah, I was thinking I was gonna have to cover it. I guess I can — I just think it’s an eyesore and any amount of work; which is more than I have time for currently .
Also, I think it’s rather interesting that domestic animals are often bred to be as stupid as possible, so they won’t be able to figure out how to escape.
Chickens are unbelievable. We got like five and the first two went in pretty quick order. I was pretty bothered until my wife had a patient who had grown up on a chicken farm and his job was to go out every morning and toss out the dead ones — and everyday there were dead ones. They don’t fear the right things (they aren’t afraid of the lawnmower) and are brittle as shit. Like, I really don’t see them as pets at all. I mean, I like them fine and care about the well-being of a creature living under my care but, come on, they’re basically ornamental.
the term “bird brain” has its genesis somewhere
Reading this makes me feel like I’m in a time machine.

More depressing shit about my trip from hell:
Mrs. Wakezilla’s father was more of a sperm donor than actual father (he didn’t come with the family as refugees when Mrs Wakezilla was 8), and has been dead for 15 years. Anyway, he was a serial cheater. What we didn’t know until this trip, however, was that when he was a high-school teacher, he was having sex with 14 year old girls in exchange for good grades. Fucking piece of shit.
Mrs. Wakezilla is pretty messed up about this. Is there such a thing for counseling offspring who has a parent who was a sexual predator?
Well just remember bad parenting is nothing new,

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the greatest novel ever written, along with Catch-22.

Wow. It’s a good thing the U.S. has civilized since the 1840s.
Yes, there is such a thing. I don’t know how things work in Canadia and your free health care, but you should absolutely make an appointment with a mental health professional, if you can.
I’m almost 99% certain that is indeed a thing, if in a city of any size. I’d find some sort of advocacy or support group with decent roots in the community, and ask for recommendations.
Start with Al-Anon (they’re for family survivors of addicts) and work your way out from there.
I worried Demaryius’ contract would render him untradable, except to the goddamned P*ts. Thrilled to get a 4th and (as I understand it) around $4.5M of cap relief that can be rolled into 2019.
I heard he wanted to retire as a Donk, so I imagine he’s probably not thrilled about going to… Houston? Is that right?
I wasn’t even sure they got the Oilers back, but good for them I guess. Maybe he frees Hopkins up a bit more for me in fantasy.
Think DT was professional about it either way, though whispers were he wanted NE, very glad Our Equine Lord and Saviour said no. I’d take the 500’s 4th over a 3rd from those pricks.

Isn’t Canadian halloween on September 31st? Aren’t all holidays just moved up by a month on account of the light or something?
I am a man over age 11. I must agree with Calgary’s TAEK here.
