Identity theft is no joke, Jim.

We start the day with @Strawberry Fields picking at lunchtime, @Chuck Downie on deck, @GKJ on the lido deck, and ajgoal on the lido afterdeck.

I finished the limited series "A Man in Full" last night. I read the book when it came out in the 90s, and it's not like I remember much of it or anything, but holy shit, they took some liberties. The strange part is that everything outside of the "Man" in question was done extremely well. You could question David E. Kelly for making this show as an excuse to film another trial, but at least it was done well. The main character was a hammy joke with no substance - the building up of him, aside from easy cliches, was completely ignored. That made this a near total waste of time. A Man Completely Empty.

I was looking up wrist watches, and I came across this once from Versace which looks nice and different since it is green and gold, but it is also absurdly priced at $1300, so this is the only world that I could ever attain this kind of level of self-indulgence

They call it a Versace Hellenyium Chrono watch

We already have the patriarch, let's grab the rest of the clan.

Team watch: WHOOP. A good friend joined the company when they were a startup and has been with them ever since. Him and 5 other guys. He designs the wrist straps. That's so sick. I hope he remembers me when he cashes out his stocks

That’s my Team Serial Killer you got there. “Badwill” seems a bit harsh. I’m sure he’d love to visit your team sometime though.

Blast. I should have known better. My bad. I'll get to it later.

Cap, for TV family, can we take a film family? I only ask because you reference film series in the description. Or was that because there might be some families that cross over into both TV & film?

Yosh, it's the latter. It should be a family from TV, but if it also appeared in film, it's fine. But focus on TV.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm breathless with anticipation to see if this gets stupidly automerged.

We start the day with @CanadianFlyer88 on the clock, a complete idiot named @Lord Defect on deck with three picks - none of which can include any f***ing Briere or poster on this website - to make, @Rebels57 on the lido deck, and Bernie on the lido afterdeck.

I'm almost finished with the Netflix series "Bodkin," starring MacGruber himself. It's aggressively fine, but a review called it "the most entertaining new series of the year." I noticed right away when shows and films started unashamedly using the "reviews" of no-marks on social media as if they had any credentials on which to base the authority of their opinions. This is (probably) another one of those, but even actual "reviews" have gone completely to shit. Some of the crap they champion, and most of the justifications for their reviews, make my head spin like "Exorcist."

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

The local icon category wounds me, as the villainous @GKJ knows full well.

Instead of a local Seattle icon, we'll go for a local hometown icon. Everyone I know from Kingston has some connection to his band. The band never did make it big in the US, but had one SNL appearance at the behest of Dan Aykroyd.

The passing of this icon pretty much led to a day of national mourning in Canada. He's a far better representation for Kingston than the blowhard normally associated with the city.

The Seattle Sockeyes are thrilled to select Gord Downie.

@Lord Defect, eat your chicken slow. It's full of all them little bones.

 

[BiggE]

Making the next pick for the Methgators will be the one and only, Million Dollar Man!

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Yosh. What? Oh. I thought I heard something.

We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock, @BernieParent on deck, my brother on the lido deck, and Bigglesworth on the lido afterdeck. And then there's @Lord Defect.

I can't handle a Rangers-Edmonton final series, so do what you have to. You know what I'm saying, know'msayin'?

I hear ya, I’m praying for a Panthers/Stars final.

 

[Rebels57]

I've always been a fan of Vintage WWII Chronographs, particularly the Japanese Military.

For the FOG, we choose the Vintage WWII Japanese Naval SEIKO as our Wrist Watch

@Captain Dave Poulin I'm still waiting for you to scold @Magua for downplaying Fletchers potential damage to the Hurricanes

Also,@BernieParent you are up...and It looks like you might not need those piss-filled super-soakers afterall.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm about to go crush Civilization with some Romans, so look out.

We start the day with @BernieParent on the clock, @Hollywood Cannon on deck, Bigglesworth on the lido deck, and myself on the lido afterdeck. Plus, @Lord Defect ... somewhere.

Having given up on continuing to read the book for the umpteenth time several months ago (too much religion), I finally watched the first part of "Dune" last night. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty f***ing good. The combat scenes are a twirly f***ing mess, but that hardly matters. I'll watch the second part tonight, so no spoilers.

 

[BernieParent]

Mea culpa, mea culpa mea CULLLL-PAAA! I even liked @Rebels57's draft pick to show I saw I was up and then ... work went off the rails and here we are.

Pick coming in about 10 minutes.

 

[BernieParent]

"We thought long and hard about the many various types of TV families portrayed over the decades, from the hilarious to the darkly dysfunctional, and we had a difficult time bringing our decision down to one. But choose we must. We select the Robinson family from Lost in Space.

"How can you go wrong with a former Navy SEAL father, a PhD Engineer mother, an adoptive medical doctor daughter, a brilliant young son who develops an enduring friendship with a robot, and a rebellious, sarcastic but ultimately loyal middle-child daughter? Plus, the aforementioned Robot as their 'pet'.

"Apart from the sci-fi drama and action, Lost in Space is largely about a family being pressure-tested in confronting and addressing deep hurts, resentments, and flaws and becoming all the stronger for it. Plus, we are particularly drawn to the adoption angle of the family structure.



"The Robinsons always stick together.

"We would do a compare/contrast to the original Space Family Robinson, but we are already woefully behind in making this selection, so we will humbly pass the drafting conch to @Hollywood Cannon, who has likely been patiently refreshing for the better part of a fully day."

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

@BiggE

You can go.

Moving out of our office that we’ve been in for thirty years and it’s my niece’s birthday party today so I’m swamped.

 

[BiggE]

HAHAHAHA!!!!

When it comes to the finer things in life, you need look no farther than the Million Dollar Man!

So, the official watch of the Jacksonville Methgators will be one worth more than tbe combined worth of every crappy trailer park in this cesspool, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak!

@Captain Dave Poulin , do you have the time?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Believe it or not, I am going to pick another total dreamboat.





Team Local Icon - Emma Proulx

@Beef Invictus

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Yosh, here we are again.

We start the day with @Beef Invictus on the clock, @Young Sandwich on deck with a pair (gross), then back through Biff and myself to @BiggE and then my bruv with two picks to make.

I watched the second part of "Dune" last night, as I said I would. I always keep my promises. It was really good, obviously, but ... I don't know. There was a little something that kept me at arm's length. I have no idea what it is. Probably just all of the religion, which I am not interested in when it comes to my stories. Still, it was a pretty impressive achievement in filmmaking.
