Those worms range from a few inches to 10’. NHL GMs range from Sakic to Fletcher. Unless you’d like to take an approach I’ve heard recently that they’re not so different.
These things are the worst invention on the face of the planet. They burrow into the sand so that their jaws are right at the surface. They'll take your bits off if you aren't careful and you swim by.

Team sorcerer- Sabrina the Teenage Witch- I'm assuming witches fall under this category given that the one from Wizard of Oz has been picked

@DancingPanther
Which version?

Automerge, yada yada.
 
No worms, no spice

We still exist, so that's good, and we are still picking, in theory, at least. Let's do it this way this time. @Rebels57, or whatever shrapnel is left of him, is on the clock, DancingPanther is on deck, Strawberry Fields is on the lido deck, and Striiker is on the lido afterdeck with a pair (phrasing). @Magua has gone the longest without making up his make-up pick. @GKJ has gone the second longest without making up his make-up pick. Cannon has the most recent abandoned pick to make up. Having said that, we are still patient as balls and chillaxing to f***, so no pressure. What I mean is that you shouldn't blame yourselves should you be the cause of my nose hemorrhaging again out of impatience and/or rage.

This is the best season of "I am SOLO" so far - the people on there are real characters, especially the girls, all of whom have really interesting personalities, and most of whom are quite scrumptious. I'm also watching the latest season of "The Great British Baking Show," but the hot one on there already got voted off (deservedly, unfortunately), and I find myself much less interested in it in general than I used to be. I don't know how much of that is down to sheer exhaustion with foodie shit, but I think it is more down to the hosts. A little Noel Fielding goes a LONG way, and there is far too much of it here. Matt Lucas lost a bunch of weight, and it really has effected him in a bad way - he is very strangely humorless, which added to his hairlessness makes for a wholly unwelcome viewing experience. I'll finish it off, but I won't like it.

What I will like for sure is season two of "Alice in Borderland," which I will inhale after the final eps are dropped on Jan. 10 and I have re-watched season one.

Noel Fielding has far too much skull. He needs less skull.
 
I'm half-awake at best, but you know what I just randomly thought about?

We start the day with @DancingPanther on the clock, @Rebels57 on deck, myself on the lido deck, @Hollywood Cannon on the lido afterdeck with a pair (phrasing), and all the other ne'er do wells just floating around with their make-up picks in their made-up rocket ships while we patiently chillax.

I was watching the WJCs off and on last night, and the camera zoomed in on the goaltender for Germany - this guy is a total fetus. I'm not saying that because he let about 30 pucks in behind him, but because he looked like he was literally born yesterday. It reminded me that we are talking about high-school kids when we talk about who we are depending on to pull us out of Chuck Fletcher's ruins. Think about that - think about when you were a teenager, sitting in a car with a jug of orange juice and a bottle of vodka with your friend while you waited for his older brother to come out of the motel room he rented for a party and tell you that the coast was clear. Then think about 20 minutes into the future from that point when the vodka and orange juice were half gone and you were making a fool of yourself in front of an impossibly hot girl from Catholic school. That person that you were in that state has a better chance of fixing and then running a professional NHL team than a grown man from Minnesota who was handed an ironclad future as a multi-millionaire by his shitty father.

Having said that, there's no reason for us to worry about hockey anytime soon, so get yourself into "I Am SOLO" mode and enjoy this crazy show.
 
This is the saddest day of my life, seeing you succumb to their propaganda.
One of my childhood friends lives in rural Australia. The last time he came to visit, I asked him and his Australian-born fiancee to speak truth against this notion that all wildlife is out to kill you in Australia. They both paused and he said, "Well ..." He mentioned a beach about an hour from their place that humans can enjoy one month a year when the tide keeps the sharks and Portuguese man-of-wars (men-of-war?) away, and there isn't a crocodile inhabitation. He added that one doesn't put on footwear without shaking it out or reach into a dark cupboard without checking for spiders, scorpions, etc.
 
Our ancient civilization is going to be the Venetians. Why? Because they traded. For everything. They were the masters of it. Their trading got so good that they eventually became a superpower- this tiny city built on (in?) the water. So many places wanted to trade with them that they ended up morphing Byzantine, Roman, Florentinian, Etruscan, Greek, Asian, and European cultures into this tiny little place.

The Venetians were shrewd enough to get along with everyone so well that they took their money and culture. Let's bring that negotiation style to the table. Imagine how badly the Venetians would fleece Chuck

@Rebels57
They would own Cuck

To Philly: a used gondola and a bucket of dirty canal water

To Venice: Hayes (half retained), Hart, our 23 1st, and every Flyers 2nd from 2026 thru 2050.
 
So Cap doesn't kill me, even if he's ever so polite about wanting to cut me, I will make up my make-up pick!

I haven't found a way to jam this creative work into any other category. In our director's decade draft, I wanted to find a way to fit it, but I couldn't justify it there. But I want it. I need it.

The Honolulu Ghibli better late than never choose as our Dealer's Choice III: L.A. Confidential

I think it's the best noir movie ever, and it's one of my favorites period. As snappy as the dialogue and pacing are, I think it's one of the best photographed/directed movies I've ever seen. It's a perfect hardboiled crime story, a perfect old Hollywood aesthetic, a perfect mixture of highbrow and lowbrow. Glitz and smut never made a better duo. I guess I get the book too? I've never read it, but James Ellroy is a hellvua writer.

I still have not seen this
 
I'm really irritated that they won that game. I only found out a little while ago, so I'm not over it yet.

@DancingPanther I think it's actually our two-year anniversary - unless I'm remembering very wrong, we have been doing this since 2020. I liked your pick of the Venetians, and I am hoping that @Rebels57 makes a nice pick, since he is on the clock. I am on deck, @Hollywood Cannon is on the lido deck with two picks to pick, and Chuckles is on the lido afterdeck.

I didn't get to watch much SOLO last night because of the stupid football and the even stupider hockey, and I'm not in the mood to delve into my feelings. I will tell you this. You know how I picked Brian De Palma in our directors draft? I watched one of his yesterday for the first time - "Mission to Mars" (2000) - and holy f***, was it terrible. I'll tell you who was mostly at fault for that - Gary f***ing Sinise. I can't stand Gary f***ing Sinise. He's always so f***ing earnest and sincere, and he can't act, so he's always just Gary f***ing Sinise doing things in front of a camera with people calling him something else. He's terrible. But he's not the only one. Tim f***ing Robbins was great in the beginning, but it has been a LONG time since he was tolerable. De Palma must have been high as balls to make this shit in the first place, but he also just mailed it in. It was shit.

I also keep seeing commercials for that "Old Man Yelling At Clouds" Tom Hanks movie. F***, that looks awful. Hanks is basically the latter day Jimmy Stewart, except for the fact that Stewart aged very gracefully and never disappeared up his own ass. But then Stewart never had the stink of Gary f***ing Sinise all over him.

Rest in Peace to the GOAT, the man whose image adorned the greatest lunchbox I ever had.
