OT: The Thread About Nothing Part 193: Baby Names and Aruba Nights

[New Jersey]

I'm at the Barclays Center for a concert and I'm not impressed by the arena. Acoustics aren't that great since there's an echo, concourses seem dark and arena is small. Don't know how hockey's going to work here

It's wonderful for basketball. I actually enjoy going there for Nets games.

Gonna be a cluster**** for hockey, though.

As long as the septic tanks aren't overflowing, Islanders fans will be thrilled.

It does look like it would be perfect for basketball

Pearl Jam here in Phoenix in November. I am so pumped.

Oh, man, UOENO. The sightlines from the highest corners of the building are absolutely incredible. I sat in the sixth-to-last row, upstairs behind the baseline, right in one of the octagonal corners. Amazing seats.

What's wrong with FOB?

They actually put on a good show. And don't judge me! lol
FOB was one of the first bands I really liked.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

speaking of sports, i despise rafael nadal.

had to get that off my chest.

Thank you.

 

[Basement Cat]

Loved FOB before this last album.

So if you want to get away with stuff, I can safely say Cowbell isnt in a position to care.

Well, least he was when I last saw him.

Currently on 25straight hours...good times!

Movies are now aimed at 15 to 23 year olds. Explosions, CGI and special effects etc..... Plot? Not necessary.

Unless the market changes and more mature people start making up a larger percentage of the audience, the Hollywood studios are still going to cater to young people. Something like 50% of the US movie audience is under the age of about 30 IIRC. That's young! It's a business afterall.

The success of that film "The Butler" immediately invalidates this theory, I think. Nobody under 30 saw that, but it was still tops at the box office for like three weeks straight. You can still find quality if you look for it, but good movies are just a bit harder to find now with all the big budget action crap being pumped out.

The first ever Minotaur V rocket launch is tonight.

I think that's an awesome name for a rocket. The NASA folks have always had great imaginations for their naming schemes, even if they are usually borrowed from Greek or Roman mythology. Apollo this, Saturn V that, Atlas the other thing. Very cool.

I saw a friend last night who went and said the same thing. Said Panic at the Disco was good too.

This girl I'm seeing. We kinda made a bet. She has no allegiance towards any hockey team but her family is a bunch of Rags fans so the bet we agreed to is that that we go to the Devils/Rangers first pre-season game and whoever wins she has to be a fan of.

I hope this doesn't bite me in the ass.

 

[regulahbread]

Filming my first video for my YouTube channel tomorrow. Can't wait.

less FOB...... more MOB

(get back to me when you figure out the acronym)

even better then those names..... the first space shuttle was named enterprise. now that's awesome.

speaking of the space shuttle, to me it will always be the VW beetle of space exploration.

I dont see why peopel want their other to be into hockey. Just more time you are stuck with that person.

Given the egregious (and horrible IMO) historical inaccuracies that have been reported, I'm not sure that can be called "quality". The real life guy's life certainly seems fascinating enough without having to "invent" horrible stories around it to fit a certain ideology. I wont be seeing it.

I was little, but I can remember being huddled around the TV with my family for the landing of STS-1.

So I volunteered in the county parks system today clearing/cleaning birdhouses, and I had to make an eviction.

He looked pretty surprised.

I think sharing interests with your gf is a good thing.

I dont know if there's a new species of mosquito that's pushed it's way north, but I've seen some HUGE mosquitos in New Jersey this summer, and I just killed a mosquito that's approximately 2.75" to 3" long, like I've only seen in Florida before.

I found one in my house in NJ that was huge too. Scared the **** out of me.

 

[Wingman77]

I did get bit more than usual

Between coaching baseball and hanging out in backyards/outdoors, I got some solid bites throughout the summer....normally never use bug spray but it was almost a necessity this summer for me
