the poster or the football player

The poster. He didn't conceptually understand what a pre-order was, so the channel had to dedicate an hour explaining why his loving Harambe baseball jersey wasn't going to be ready to ship for a few months. Unfortunately, he was perpetually black out drunk, so the exact same conversation was a daily occurrence.

Then he'd move onto harassing the girl goons.

Trump is supposed to go to his Mar a Lago resort this weekend and there is a protest/march scheduled. Since its in my back yard, I think I will go, but I want a clever sign, maybe football related. Any suggestions? Was thinking of an Alex Smith tiny hands reference, but that seems lazy.

Probably pretty easy to shoehorn a Brady reference in there somewhere.

I wonder how much Tom Brady regrets putting his golfing buddy's hat in his locker.

Or allow Trump to use him as a political prop or call him on Election Day or skip the White House visit in 2015.

Every, like, proper Zelda game is insanely good except for Majora's Mask IMO

Ehud how can you have you not played a Zelda game for like 20 years and still be excited enough for this one to pre-order a whole freaking system?

Skyward Sword was really good except for the fact you had to flail your loving arms around. One day it will get the Wind Waker treatment where people will realize it was Good, Actually

Nah, because it was built on a stupid motion combat system that will prevent it from being meaningfully ported to future consoles and also the combat system sucks because it basically boils down to "Swing sword in particular direction" to beat every single enemy and puzzle in the game, and on top of that the input method is not 100% reliable (unlike pressing a button) so sometimes it won't even do what you need it to do.

Fi is the most annoying zelda companion in history, the sky is an empty joke, the game makes you replay the same areas over again with slightly different variations, it also does this with two bosses, one of those might be one of the worst bosses in zelda history (The imprisoned). Most of the dungeons are forgettable. Collecting upgrade items forces you into a menu every time you start the game back up. The art was a good idea but in practice on the Wii's hardware honestly just makes it look blurry most of the time instead of the impressionistic look they wanted.

SS has some great stuff in it but it's too flawed to ever be great as a whole.

The motion controls definitely force it a tier beneath the others, but I loved the characters and items and dungeons, which is like 70% of a Zelda game. I liked its art and flying around, too.

I hope one day down the line they release a version you can play with a normal controller.

In 7th grade, I had to make a poetry book, which consisted of making different types of poetry based on a similar theme (I picked nature) and I absolutely hated it. Still got an A on it though :angel:

After reading Elie Wiesel in ninth grade, we had to write a sonnet about the Holocaust which is about the weirdest assignment I ever had.

Oh fun. Bar Rescue did one in my town a few years ago (Angry Ham's) and long story short, the owner ripped out everything they changed and went back to how it was like a month afterwards.

I'm guessing that happens more often than not. I went to one in Chicago once (Underground Wonder Bar) and it was a complete poo poo show.
