Title: Hey Tempo, no game this week (10-20 to 10-22)!
Post by: ThePAMan on October 17, 2022, 01:58:50 PM
And the Bye Week is not favored against Illinois for the 1st time in a long time.

You can go to a movie or something Sat afternoon. Don't go see "Bros." though. I heard it wasn't good from friends who may be considered a target audience (not that there is anything wrong with that). Dean Richards from WGN did not give it a rave review either.

I haven't been to a movie in a long time.  Although, I have been known to go into a movie theater, buy a bucket of popcorn, and walk out.  There's nothing like buttery movie theater popcorn.

Did you buy the big boxes of overpriced candy as well? Did you just eat the popcorn in the lobby so you can get the free refill?  They had "free" refills on popped corn and soda at the theater I went to pre-The COVID. I do not know if that was a general thing.

Bought tiks and RV pass for the MSU game today.

You're selling a combination ticket and round trip Uber for the game ?

No candy. And haven’t stuck around for refills. Refills are generally free on large popcorn and large drink.

Not a bad idea. Wolf down a bucket, get refill, hit the road. Maybe next time.

Years ago I bought a movie theater-style popcorn machine and it is so much better than normal home popcorn.  I don't have the melted butter to coat everything but the popcorn coming fresh from the machine is so good.

I go way back to the old Scout board back to the Self years, but decided to rebrand and come on back.  I don't even remember my old handle.

I saw them at Lowe's for 200-400 dollars.  For a decent one.

Worth thinking about, but you have to clean the fuckers.  Just as easy for me to get the actual movie theater stuff when I want it or make it on the stove.

Welcome.  Nice to have someone else in here to give and take some abuse.  Oh, and follow Illini sports, and sports in general.

If you like arguing about politics, you'll probably have a boner in here.  I personally stay away from that shit.

Don't you have to pay for a movie to get in and buy the overpriced popped corn? That's some expensive popped corn, especially when you eschew the free refill.

Nope.  At the place I usually go to, I tell the ticket seller person that I just want to buy a bucket of corn.  He (or she) says, k, then I go buy said corn.  Sometimes they even sell the tickets at the concession stand itself.

With that being said, I could probably just walk into a movie after doing that.  A ticket taker making minimum wage probably isn't going to try to stop me.  But I wouldn't do that.

Arguing politics is like playing chess with a pigeon.  The pigeons will just knock over all the pieces, shit on the board and then strut around like it won.  I have my beliefs as does everyone else but at this point trying to inform or change minds is a fools errand.

Maybe, but I’d be surprised if he has a meaningful Bears career. I liked the signing at first, but he’s probably a JAG (just a guy). But just a guy would probably be an improvement on this roster. The Bears should go and get a Mohamed Sanu off the streets. They need a pro who is at least somewhat dependable if not explosive anymore.

I don't disagree with that sentiment but I tend to be very strategic about those kinds of debates.  If it's two people agreeing on a common set of facts and then debating how to address said facts, that can be a very good discussion.  However, if you can't agree with someone that fire is hot and water is wet, it's not worth wasting the mental energy of trying to convince them of anything.
