How's this for random - found lying in a candy bin in a dollar store the other day:

I just saw Transformers : Bumblebee.

The opening scene on Cybertron was epic!

This is how the Transformers are supposed to look like.

Worth a watch?

I loooooved the old cartoons and enjoyed the first Michael Bay movie, but have stayed away from the franchise since. Is this meant to be a new standalone thing or a continuation?

It's worth a watch.

It's just nice to see so many G1 characters be so easily recognizable.

Hopefully Hasbro will just make this a start of a full reboot and forget the Bay movies.

Bay completely ruined those movies. Liked the first one but it was all down hill after that. Completely lost interest. What a terrible director.

Have heard Bumblebee was good and much better so may go see it.

'Twas the day before Christmas, and all through the board
Us creatures were studying the previous weeks’ scores;
Eye Test notes were flung to the Petan thread with care,
In hopes that YWGinYYZ soon would be there;
Bustamante’s observations were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Agar’s gifs danced in our heads;
And Zham5 with his GDTs, and garret9 with his fancy stats,
Had just settled down for 4-day gameless nap.

When out on the main boards there arose such a clatter,
I left my heat map studies to see what was the matter.
Away to the Hockey Talk I flew like the Finnish Flash,
Tore open the main thread to see who was talking trash.
The goons on the Fight thread were all ready to go,
And gave the lustre of mid-day to the arguments below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a level-headed comment, and eight tiny Likes theer*,
From a little old poster, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than Ehlers his comments they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Mud Turtle! now, SLAYER! now, Afterburner and Jefferoni!
On, Eyeseeing! on Howard Chuck! On Aggie204 and GmOney!
To avoid all the scorching flame of this virtual hall,
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry heaves that before the holiday parties fly,
When you meet the sober spouse, and you’re still slightly high,
So back to the Jets’ board the posters they flew,
With the sleigh full of stats, and first place in the WC too.
And then, in a twinkling, I saw the virtual proof
Of the prancing and pawing of each local goof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning off the computer, when
The first post of St. Nicholas appeared like a wet booter.
His comments were fire, from his head to his foot,
And his views were untarnished with main board ashes and soot;
A bundle of Whileee posts he had flung on his back,
(And under the strain,)
Briefly looked like El Kapitan getting hit in the sack.

But he had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed, like a breakaway’d Helle.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I LOL’d when I saw him, in spite of myself;
The fairness of his analysis and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And smoothed all the threadlings; and snuffed out a few jerks.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, his reputation rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team threw no shade,
And away they all flew like a puck from Patty’s blade.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS to the Jets Board, we’ll see you in a few nights!

Abandoned and disgraced in a dollar store candy bin. What would the fan girls say now :laugh:

In the deep deep discount candy display alongside various made in China subpar candies with mystery ingredients and plastics.

I am watching some Springsteen on Broadway thing on Netflix. I'm 20 minutes in and it's torturous...does anyone know if it gets any better? It's worse than Cloutier-Baldwin so far.

Please help.

Update: may have just been a 20 minute intro to My Hometown?

Update 2: I'm tapping out. This is torture. What's wrong with these celebrities, charging to listen to them natter on like this?!?!

I was looking at old Selanne footage just now, then stumbled upon this. I never knew the Jets used or had the alternate logo in existence until I saw this clip at 7:38.
