Holy shit, I feel asleep at the wheel.
Our team hangout will be Lou's Cafe. It's where all the cool kids of Hill Valley 1955 congregate, even if the owner is a little surly.

I know nothing about commandos.
Team Commando: Bionic Commando (The NES video game character)
Want to learn more about it other than I played it in the late 80's or early 90's? Great, I want to know more too.
Bionic Commando, originally released as Hitler's Resurrection: Top Secret (ヒットラーの復活 TOP SECRETトップシークレット, Hittorā no Fukkatsu: Toppu Shīkuretto) in Japan, is a platform game released by Capcom for the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988.[2] It is based on the 1987 arcade game Bionic Commando.
As Ladd, a member of the FF Battalion, the player explores each stage and obtain the necessary equipment to progress.[3]: 4 Ladd is equipped with a mechanical arm featuring a grappling gun, allowing him to pull himself forward or swing from the ceiling. As such, the series is one of few instances of a platform game in which the player cannot jump. To cross gaps or climb ledges, Ladd must use his bionic arm.
In the game's instruction manual, the character is only known as "Player". In the game's ending, his name is revealed as "Ladd". The Game Boy version, a retelling of this game, calls the character "Rad". In the Game Boy Color remake, the main character is unnamed. His full name of Nathan "Rad" Spencer was revealed in 2009's Bionic Commando for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Yeah, look at my guy with 8 different names hanging around with his cool extendable arm. Yeaaaah. He's also stopping (hopefully not starting) Hitler's Resurrection?
Anyway...
@Magua - pick something in a category you're totally unqualified for.

Playing Metroid on the Game Boy and Metroid Prime on GameCube are core gaming memories. And you know she was a staple in Super Smash Bros.

So how's everyone doing in here? Uneventful night? good. glad to hear it.
Tortillas! Fajitas! Mojitos! My libido! Yeah!
We start the day with @Chuck Downie on the clock, @mja on deck, @GKJ on the lido deck, and ToeJam on the lido afterdeck.
Normally I would say that after a lifetime of support, you can't switch allegiance to a different team in any sport. It's fine to have "second favorites" and on down as far as you want to go, but you can't switch your main team. However, nothing that is happening around here is "normal." I wouldn't blame anyone for jumping ship. This organization is a shit-caked engineless clown car pulled by a donkey. I'm not going to switch, because I can't be bothered to switch. The whole sport has been poisoned for me and seems entirely too stupid to care about.
Oh, and Biff still hasn't picked.

He can't even make his own picks. Put the bong down and get your brain cooking instead.
@Captain Dave Poulin has to be last year, no?

Good point.

SERGEANT STUBBY
Sgt Stubby fought with the 102nd Inf Regiment in the 26th Div for 1.5 years on the Western front. He participated in several full-blown offensives. He warned his comrades of gas attacks, artillery, incoming raids, and he would go find the wounded. He was trained to salute. He was wounded.
He captured a German soldier.

No, if they were eligible again this year, that's OK.

Stupid website.
Anyway, we haven't draft a full-blooded Finn this phase. We should really do something about that to keep team owner Sami happy.
Futurehead #5: Arttu Kärki
We feel so good about Artoo, a defenseman who went on an absolute goalscoring tear in the OHL earlier in the season, that we've already issued him a jersey number for the big club: 2. Henceforth, he shall be known as R2D2.
Beep Boop Beep! @GKJ

That league is pointless and stupid, but this game-ending block by Anthony Edwards was pretty cool.
We start the day with @BigToe on the clock, @Beef Invictus on deck wih two picks to make, @BernieParent on the lido deck, and me on the lido afterdeck.
To put the Biff epic fail this round into full epic perspective: all he has to do is open Wikipedia, go to NHL Entry Draft 2023, and pick one of them who hasn't been picked yet. He found a dog commando for Cheech, too. I am very worried about the matter inside Biff's skull cavity.

One of the reasons I fell in love with Louisville as a little kid was that they ALWAYS had freak jumpers like that.

This is why we get along. Dominique Wilkins is my all-time favorite athlete for the same reasons.
Side note, but I wish I was a Houston fan. Look at this thing:
Houston 1980s Vintage Phi Slama Jama Shooting Shirt
From 1982-1984, the Houston Cougars men’s basketball team was known across the land as “Phi Slama Jama.” Texas’ Tallest Fraternity earned its nickname from sportswriter Thomas Bonk, and embraced the name so strongly, the team put the nickname on its warmups. Staying true to the team’s bold...
