OT: The Avalounge: Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now!

[Bubba Thudd]

Just tried Twin Peaks, the original series.
Got 3 episodes in, and decided it's not for me.

Trying Jessica Jones now.

My mother-in-law passed away Thursday.
No funeral.
She donated her body to science.
Wife and kids are devastated, though.
Going through her stuff isn't easy for them, but it has to be done.

 

[Ivan13]

My deepest condolences to you and your familiy Bubba, I know these can be really difficult times.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Thank you, Ivan.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Sorry to hear Bubba. Was it sudden and unexpected?

 

[Bubba Thudd]

She was a smoker forever.
Then she got COPD.
Had that for a while.
Recently she got a lung infection that she just couldn't shake.
So we've seen it coming for a while.

 

[UncleRisto]

Sorry for your loss, Bubba. Good on her for supporting scientific research, though.


I tried for 2 and a half hours at the very least to get the platinum relic race trophy at Sewer Speedway in CTR. Couldn't. Time well spent.

I broke down and watched the first 3 episodes last night. The series is definitely not the same... holy crap it got dark, in a good way too. I found myself muttering WTF? on more than a few occasions. Trying to avoid spoilers, but I'm very curious with where this story is going. I have a basic thought, of the premise... but this is David Lynch. I guarantee I will be completely wrong.

Also, it might be the most beautifully shot TV show I have ever seen. The camera work is utterly phenomenal.

So many WTF moments in these first few episodes, just like most things Lynch is a part of. He's definitely not shying away from the weird so far. I'm just waiting for something akin to the diner scene from Mulholland Drive to happen and really ramp up the horror aspect of the show.

Did you get through episode 4? I'll attempt to make this as spoiler-free as possible: Wally's appearance was one of the funniest things I've seen on TV in a long time.

Agreed about the camera work, too. Absolutely gorgeous for a TV show.

People looking for a good show to watch on Netflix? Highly highly recommend Shameless, probably my favourite TV show currently running. Yes even over shows like TWD and GOT.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Sorry to hear that Bubba. Having all that time to prepare doesn't seem to make it a whole lot easier...

Shameless is great. Been watching faithfully since season 1.

My dad ended up in the hospital last night. He was working on our trailer in the driveway, knelt down and felt his knee pop. Came in the house and said he had to go to the hospital. We started talking to him, and he laid back on the stairs and his eyes rolled over. My mom couldn't find a pulse so started CPR as I called an ambulance. They showed up, took him to the hospital, and after six hours and numerous tests found nothing wrong with his heart. They aren't sure what happened with his knee but he didn't tear any muscles or ligaments, but the pain was so bad, that his heart stopped and his body shut down to avoid dealing with it. Very scary, but he's out now and walking around.

 

[billybobjoe2112]

Smiley and Bubba, sorry for your losses.

DIA is a nice airport.

Hey I was just there last night! Very nice airport

 

[UncleRisto]

LMAO, I had a dream where it came out that Landy and Pickard had appeared in an adult movie during the off-season. (Part of the trailer was there, Landy drove a boat.) There were serious questions raised on HFBoards about team culture and summer training.

Scary, indeed!

Glad to hear that he's feeling alright.

Saw this band in a local nightclub last night.
They were at least 10 times better than this vid -- and that was playing for a nearly empty venue.
They kicked serious ass, especially for a two-piece band.
Very friendly, very cool.
I'm gonna promote them as much as I can.

The trams annoy me, but realistically Dia is a lot better than many airports

Is that the one that plays a little jingle at every stop?

I love DIA. It's a bit... strange, but most airports are so boring.

Got back from a wedding in Texas last night. Texas sucks lol.

Is it because of the secret reptilian military base underneath?

My condolences. Death is never an easy thing, especially with family.

Holy crap! That is a freaky story! I have heard of this existing, but never heard a real story about it.

I think that moment is going to happen in the next couple episodes. Lynch is building up to something big, and I think the first 4 episodes were released the way they were for that reason.

I did! I about died laughing! I understand it was probably just a cameo, but I want Wally back for a few episodes.

It's the same condition, that makes people pass out at the sight of blood, only on the extreme end. But on the plus side he is up and walking around, and we went on a 5km hike yesterday.
