Wowza. I knew when Walt told the guys not to come, they wouldn't listen. And now begins the long wait until the next episode to see how last night's ending scene plays out.

well that turned out to be a no :phu: GO LIONS

Welcome here Gilvan! :nice: I'll be visiting Chicago in a few weeks for a concert... love the city!

Yeah... and Roadie 44 was going to blog a few months ago but she chickened out.

:lol: On Friday as I was walking into the grocery store, some guy walking out was wearing a Los Pollos Hermanos shirt. I had a big smile on my face but I doubt he noticed. I should have said as we passed, "have an A1 day!" Unfortunately I didn't think about it quick enough; but I'll keep it in the front of my head for next time. :D

Seeing a farmersonly.com commercial on tv. I'm a (somewhat) city person so I just don't get it. lolololol

After listening to only the preview, this already sounds 2718281828459045 times better than anything* from the MX era. My faith is (at least temporarily) restored. * Except for Moving to Mars though, which was brilliant.

I'm in! :awesome: I don't care where I send the card... here, there, anywhere!

I believe his sentence was life in prison plus 1000 years. ("Life" sentence can mean different things based on the jurisdiction, often it means 20 years as opposed to actual future lifetime.) I know people will think it sounds callous, but I don't think it's a shame. It would be one thing if his sentence was such that he could eventually be released, and had the possibility of some sort of rehabilitation (since he claimed he was "just sick".) But, since his sentence was such that there is no possibility that he would ever be released into society again, in essence any attempt at rehabilitation wouldn't be fruitful. Potentially millions of tax dollars would have been spent to keep him alive for the rest of his natural life in prison; millions of dollars that could be spent on rehabilitating other criminals that would eventually be released back into society.

That he committed suicide?

The specific age difference would vary from person to person based on my rule of thumb, but here it is (with the endpoints referring to the gender of the person with whom you are in a relationship with): your oldest kid's* age < your significant other's age < your parent's age * if applicable and if legal

Looks nice, good choice. lol no, methinks those are some pretty good toofers by any standard (not just on "British teeth" standards). One little snaggletooth isn't bad at all.

Well, nobody "important" I suppose. There were still plenty of people that died already (for example, last week Todd and his peeps killed the competition at their underground meth lab).

'Never, ever give up:' Diana Nyad completes historic Cuba-to-Florida swim Key West, Florida (CNN) -- "Find a way." That's the mantra Diana Nyad said she had this year. And that's exactly what she did. On Monday, Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage, willing her way to a Key West beach just before 2 p.m. ET, nearly 53 hours after jumping into the ocean in Havana for her fifth try in 35 years. Shortly after conquering the Straits of Florida, the 64-year-old endurance swimmer sat down with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. "It's all authentic. It's a great story. You have a dream 35 years ago -- doesn't come to fruition, but you move on with life. But it's somewhere back there. Then you turn 60, and your mom just dies, and you're looking for something. And the dream comes waking out of your imagination," Nyad said. The swim wasn't easy. "With all the experience I have, especially in this ocean, I never knew I would suffer the way I did," she said. "For 49 hours the wind just blew like heck, and it was rough." At one point, she was vomiting because she had so much salt water in her system and was shivering. She sang lullabies to help her relax. "It was really rough that first day, Saturday, after the start and I just said: 'Forget about the surface up. Get your hands in somehow, and with your left hand, say, push Cuba back, and push Florida towards you,'" Nyad said. Through it all, she held her mantra close: "You don't like it. It's not doing well. Find a way." Dozens of onlookers -- some in kayaks and boats, many others wading in the water or standing on shore -- gathered to cheer Nyad on as she finished the more than 100-mile swim. She pumped her fist as she walked onto the beach toward an awaiting medic before being guided to an ambulance. "I got three messages," an exhausted and happy Nyad told reporters. Her face was sunburned and swollen. "One is we should never, ever give up. Two is you never are too old to chase your dreams. Three is it looks like a solitary sport, but it's a team," she said. The swim was a long-awaited triumph for Nyad, who was making her fifth attempt since 1978 and her fourth since turning 60. The first four tries were marked by gut-wrenching setbacks; if the rough, strength-sapping seas didn't force her to quit, an hours-long asthma attack or paralyzing and excruciating jellyfish stings did. But for this swim, besides donning a suit meant to protect her against her jellyfish nemesis, she wore a special mask to prevent jellyfish stings to her tongue, a key factor in her failed attempt last year. Nyad, who was 29 when she first tried the swim, said last week that she wanted to show that "you can dream at any age." "This time, I am 64. So, the years of my life are shorter to the end," she said at a news conference in Havana on Friday. "So this time I am, all the way across ... going to think about all those life lessons that came up during the swim." Fatigue almost seemed poised to derail her again early Monday. About 7:30 a.m. ET, she was slurring her speech because of a swollen tongue and lips, her support team reported on its website. As the team called her around dawn for her first feeding since midnight, she took longer than normal to reach the support boat, the report said. Divers swam ahead of her, collecting jellyfish and moving them out of Nyad's path. When instructed Monday morning to follow the path that's been cleared for her, she flashed her sense of humor, replying, "I've never been able to follow it in my life," according to the website. Nyad's home stretch followed an overnight in which she became so cold, the team didn't stop her for feeding until first light "in the hopes that swimming would keep her warm," the website said. Every stroke she swam put her deeper into record territory. On Sunday night, she broke Penny Palfrey's record for the farthest anyone has managed on the trek without a shark cage. In 1997, Australian Susie Maroney completed the swim from within a shark cage. She was 22 at the time. Nyad set out from Havana at 8:59 a.m. Saturday with a crew of 35, including divers to watch for sharks. In her first attempt to cross the Straits of Florida in 1978, rough seas left her battered, delirious and less than halfway toward her goal. She tried again twice in 2011, but her efforts ended after an 11-hour asthma attack and jellyfish stings. Last year, she abandoned an attempt about halfway through after severe jellyfish stings and a lightning storm put her in danger. Nyad was a swimming sensation before these attempts. In the 1970s, she won multiple swimming marathons and was one of the first women to swim around the island of Manhattan. She was 8 years old when she first dreamed about swimming across the Straits of Florida. At the time, Nyad was in Cuba on a trip from her home in Florida in the 1950s, before Fidel Castro led a Communist takeover in Cuba and the country's relations with the United States soured. The Los Angeles woman had said this was going to be her final attempt. "I decided, this one no matter what happened, I don't want that experience again -- like right now, tonight -- talking to you about the journey is worth everything. It is. But I didn't want to be here packing up again," Nyad told CNN's Gupta. She demurred when he described her as a hero but said she hopes she can serve as some sort of inspiration. "I think that a lot of people in our country have gotten depressed, pinned in, pinned down with living lives they don't want," Nyad said. She continued: "I do write all the time about -- you tell me what your dreams are. What are you chasing? It's not impossible. Name it." link

My first thought after watching the episode was, "wow... I don't remember the last time that nobody died in an episode." The calm before the shitstorm.

For the second week in a row, the Lions destroyed the competitor in preseason play. ROAR.

Am I the only person that doesn't understand the point of pre-ordering a download? It's not like they're going to run out of downloads... I wonder if we'll catch a snippet of the song via a new trailer for the movie (being shown before some other new movie's opening this weekend).

:awesome: Superman, Batman movie to be filmed in metro Detroit and throughout Michigan DETROIT (WXYZ) - The Michigan Film Office has announced that the new Superman-Batman movie will be filmed in metro Detroit and throughout the state of Michigan. The state approved $35 million in film incentives for the Warner Bros. picture. Filming is expected to start in the first quarter of 2014. The production is expected to employ more than 400 Michigan workers. The project is expected to bring in millions of dollars to the local economy. “This project will further strengthen the reputation of Michigan and metro Detroit as a premier film destination,” said Margaret O’Riley, director of the Michigan Film Office. “We look forward to the spotlight shining on our incredibly talented workforce and the businesses that support our film industry here in Michigan.” “Detroit is a great example of a quintessential American city, and I know it will make the perfect backdrop for our movie,” stated filmmaker Zack Snyder. “Detroit and the entire state of Michigan have been fantastic collaborators, and we are looking forward to working together on this film.” The new film will bring together two of the greatest Super Heroes of all time, Superman and Batman. linky

Haircut: Looks nice the way it is, so maybe the same style with a little trim. Or if you really want a different style, I always think clean-cut stuff looks nice on most guys; a good one would be Tom Hardy's do in This Means War. Leather jacket: Are there shops equivalent to Salvation Army / Goodwill over there? If so, I would suggest that. You'll get a nice classic broken-in jacket, relatively inexpensive, and you wouldn't be killing a new cow.

Oh but wait, didn't you know that any song with strings in it was influenced by VLV, even if it was before VLV existed? I mean, that's how influential Coldplay can be; the influence can go back in time and stuff. :|

:lol: omg, is that from Malcolm in the Middle? Unfortunately I never watched that show. And btw, I did end up ordering the business cards... and the "yo bitch" Jesse wall thing, and the A1A car air freshener, and the Los Pollos Hermanos lunch bags. :cheesy:

I don't understand the logic... cut a guy who was perfect in the preseason?

When the confession tape was playing my mouth dropped and I think it was open the entire time. At first I couldn't believe he would even try to implicate Hank, but then I realized yeah that's totally something that Walt would do. However, I'm troubled by how blase Skyler was about it. Before Walt started taping she simply asked, "are you sure you want to do this?" She didn't even try to stop him; I would think her love for her sister would override Walt's desire not to get caught but... whoa, she's starting to take on some of Walt's characteristics now in that sense. In regard to Jesse's realization, at first it didn't make sense to me because he knew that Brock was poisoned by the lily of the valley plant, not by the ricin. So I didn't understand how he could make the connection that Walt took the ricin-laced cigarette. But I guess he just put 2+2 together and realized the security guard originally swiped it off him. Do you think Jesse implied that Walt poised Brock with the ricin to Saul, to get Saul to confirm that Walt was responsible in some way for Brock (and also responsible for the cigarette being swiped off him)? Todd is just... oh man, he's a schemer. He's clearly got some M.O. for blabbing to his relatives about the train heist, plus leaving a voicemail for Walt. There is this cutesy innocence that he tries to play on, but he's really totally the opposite. I'm trying to figure out his ultimate plan. Oh yeah and I want some of those "Better Call Saul" business cards. :lol:

this is the atlas cover it looks like a mashup between the Columbia Pictures logo and the Paramount Pictures logo
