He's not getting past me

 

[Striiker]

HEY

YOU

DONT

 

[Magua]

Little do they know I beat both of them.

 

[Striiker]

Little do they know I beat both of them.

I’m ahead of you

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

But I want the box.

Yosh, about this. I didn't mean that you CAN'T put them in the box - it's just not the point of this selection. Of course you can do what you want with them, but in this case they aren't actually yours (they just feel less whole when they enter your arena), so you would have to sneak into their HQ and either kidnap them or beat the shit out of them right there under the nose of their club's security.

@JojoTheWhale sending good thoughts your way for the puppy. I am not going to pick for a while, but don't worry about yours. Just go ahead whenever you are ready and baby is feeling better.

 

[Magua]

I’m ahead of you

Are you? I already have him on a line with 2 Soviets. Out-spite that.

 

[Lord Defect]

And I'm at the emergency vet. Go ahead, @BigToe. This takes hours.

Are you ok?
But seriously I hope all is well.

 

[Striiker]

Are you? I already have him on a line with 2 Soviets. Out-spite that.

The spreadsheet says otherwise.

You’re secretly going easy on him. Traitor.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Thanks for the well wishes, all. Blood testing was normal, back tomorrow for an ultrasound. I’m the meantime, if you’ve never seen a pug stoned out of her gourd, let me tell you that no ankles within a 5 mile radius are safe.

@BigToe I am so disappointed in you. I’m not taking it, but someone else probably will.

Idk what I didn't take, Jojo.

I may be staring down the wrath of a Cannon for this one, but such is life. There have been better teams. There have been teams that won more, including in the same tournament. But the most fun International Hockey Team was the only one that simply went balls to the wall for their entire respective tournament:

Team North America (2016 World Cup U23 team)

I hate you

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's the one that never has anything wrong with her, despite being a genetic disaster. She's acting completely fine. Just having major stomach issues. Bloody diarrhea, the whole bit.

She is greatest and best

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I hate you

The 1920s are endlessly fascinating. From Art Deco to flappers to modernism to the beautifully viscous gang warfare of Chicago and elsewhere, you could mine the period forever and never run out of material. But the thing that really set this series apart for me and elevated it above the exciting storylines and great characters was the attention it paid to the aftereffects of the Great War, the silent damage it did to all of Western civilization. Europe lost an entire generation of young men (which launched some of the best poetry the world will ever know) - America was spared that level of attrition in its early foray outside its own borders, but those many who served came back scarred just the same. The unbreakable bond between Jimmy Conway and Lapin Richard Harrow was a testament to what they'd been through together. What were a few handfuls of scruffy Italian gangsters in comparison to the horrors of war? Add in the scrumptious Gretchen Mol, finally getting a role worthy of her, and countless tremendous performances from the amazing cast, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better series. Very easily in the top tier of that Golden Age of Television.

And a quick shout-out to Tim Van Patten - invariably, when you saw that he had directed an episode, you knew you were in for an amazing hour of TV. He also directed arguably the best "Sopranos" episode, "Long Term Parking," and many of the better GoT episodes.

@DancingPanther

Somehow I end up picking last this phase? That's a fix worthy of Arnold Rothstein.

 

[DancingPanther]

Guys that movie was one of the best I've ever seen

Pharmacological enthusiast digs film clearly written under the influence of some good shit. Checks out.

Is Team Classic Actor/Actress strictly their pre-1968 movies? I think it should be, as in you don’t get their movies after 1968, in case you wanted to be cute and select someone who was in bit part roles before but known for their works after.
