I understand that the people here are really friendly. I imagine before tourism boomed worldwide and climate change started ramping up significantly, it was an even nicer place to be. It's just a shame we can't trim off maybe the last decade and a half or so.

I know it's not technically a country.

I'm looking forward to daylight savings. It will move the sun out of my f***ing face during prime AoE II playing time.

We start the day with me on the clock, @BiggE on deck, @Young Sandwich on the lido deck, and Bernardo on the lido afterdeck. @Asnito can make his pick the next time he comes on.

I didn't like last year's crop of draft eligibles at quarterback at all, but I really didn't think Will f***ing Levis would turn out to be the best of them. And that hasn't been decided yet or anything, obviously, but it's weird to see him play well after everything we heard about him in the draft process. And it's a crying f***ing shame that he lost to that shower of shit last night.

Give me a minute.

No Jacksonville, I said, ARE YOU READY!?!?

Then, for the dozens hanging around this thread, and the scores who might occasionally pop in once in a while to escape the hell that is Flyers hockey, and for Vince McMahon, who can enjoy his forced retirement and kiss my ass, LETS GET READY TO SUCK IT!!!!

Alright, so please welcome to Jacksonville, the official neighbor of the Methgators, TIMOTHY LEARY!!

@Young Sandwich , Timothy Leary isn’t dead, he’s just on the outside looking in.

Thanks, @Young Sandwich. You people and your drafting during work hours!

Fortunately, I had a capital-E epiphany (which is better as a spoken saying [which is redundant]) at lunch about the perfect Team Energy Drink. For those of you unfamiliar with the Asterix et Obelix cartoon series, created in 1959 by writer René Goscinny and illustrator Albert Uderzo, it is about a small village of vikings in Gaul (they weren't true vikings, who were Scandinavian, so really ...)

iu


... oh, right, these Gaulois were a solitary outpost within the Roman Empire, and the stories were primarily about them defeating the Romans with the assistance of a special potion magique, made by the druid Panoramix. This potion gave Asterix super strength, speed, agility, etc. Obelix didn't need it because as a young boy he fell into the cauldron with the magic potion.

iu


Thus, we will select the Magic Potion of Panoramix as our Team Energy Drink.

Ils sont fous ces @Maguas.

This makes me wish I was more creative with this category. A lot of ideas are now popping into my head. Well done.

The Honolulu Ghibli prep our time machine to go back to our Team Decade/Country......1990s Hong Kong

Not a country, I know! But there's precedent with other picks.

You could choke on the thick spirit and energy of '90s Hong Kong. Both endlessly sprawling and endlessly cramped; neon soaked with the right kind of chaos. The economy was booming, Hong Kong cinema and Cantopop were wrapping up their golden ages, and the impending handover gripped the city with a now-or-never restlessness. To spend a few years there in the early-mid '90s? What a time and place to be alive.

My dream is that one day there will be a show which forces tools to wear Ace Hardware shirts. Like all the guys who "lift."

We start the day with @Hollywood Cannon on the clock, @mja on deck, @Rebels57 on the lido deck, and GKJ on the lido afterdeck.

I watched a great one last night called "The Attorney." It was about a lawyer from humble beginnings who finds a niche to make good money in the early 80s in Busan before a case close to home politicizes him and he takes on the corrupt military dictatorship of the time. It stars Song Kang-ho, who is just the most reliable actor in the world right now. This one is from 2013, but it's not like anything has changed since then - he's just impossibly charismatic, and he makes good choices when he chooses his films, and he makes them all infinitely better. He rules.

We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock (lol), @GKJ on deck, @Lord Defect on the lido deck, and Toe on the lido afterdeck.

There was simply no defense in those two college football games last night, and I loved it. I mean, it was kind of ugly, but it made for some exciting draft fantasizing with quarterbacks and wide receivers. There was no reason to even turn away from it and look at the New Car Crash in Orange. By the way, have you heard Tenacious D try to say "Era"? The stupid grock-mouthed c*** says "urr." Goofy f***ing c***bag.
