Big Blue Huddle

He said the horn signs was something his mother did. It was to ward off a evil spell shot off by somebody else, then you "devil horn" them right back to reverse the bad thing they sent at you.
 What was the name of his Upsate New York band? I can go as far back as "Otis and the All Night Workers". Spent my first 35 years in Syracuse.

 I just started with this type of programming and when you say it seems tailored to you, I absolutely agree. I've only had YOUTUBETV for what? 3 weeks now and the shows that come up during searching are always the same shows I watch. Rockford Files, X Files, Buffy the Vampire slayer, all those cute girls on there.
 Still cant figure out the remote the way I would like and don't know how to get over to all those channels that aren't listed in your personal inventory, but there's a area where its loaded. SLG told me just search A or B and you get lists and lists of material to watch.
 xxxx I gotta shut up I just wander on and on. Must be the meds. Sorry bout that. 

well I guess its because they have to sleep or do something daily along with the soil form ther3e homeland. When you think about it, after the original story and he left to go to England, he was always away from his home.
 When you say your sort of a fan of Drac movies I hope your including all those "Hammer Films" with Christopher Lee and , brain fart, the guy who played his enemy, um the one vampire killer, VAN HELSING, that's it.... Peter Cushing was his name. there is a bunch of those. On a side note those two guys did, in my opinion the best "Hound of the Baskervilles". I for some reason latched onto that story line and have always loved it. What a great story that is.
 Another side note, I remember when I found out that Dracula was a novel written around the turn of the century. as a child I always thought all the Vampire type tales were old folk tales form Rumania and that area. SO when I found out it was "just a book" I was so disappointed. Up until I found out the story's origin I thought it was like the Yeti, the loch ness story or even UFOs . remember this was as a child. 60 years later it seems like that sort of thing, the bigfoot, Jersey Devil, Mothman, some of the UFO tales continue on.
 Happy Thanks giving to everyone. If you can, spend it with family because you just don't know when things are going to be different!

I guess the plan was to have Crol ride off into the SUnset with Daryl. Then their new show is supposedly set in FRANCE> and you know how THEY are!
 THen Carol backed out. I thik Daryl might be able to carry out a "Then Came Bronson" type of show for you older tv people.
as far as my opinion on the finale? Pfft! At least they plugged the hell out of the new spinoff characters.

 Well what's everyone opinions, impressions etc?

I have Atand t bundle. I always screw up anything I touch electronically but really, bout the roku stick, under 30 bucks at best deal or whatever you call it, Put it on and voila! I know Walmart has a stick on sale for 19 bucks right now so tomorrow I shall go get a second stick.
 Thanks for the info, its a pain sometimes being able to live without all the electronics you guys use all the time.BUT, boiy I cant tell you how much I like not having a stinking telephone on me when I leave the house.
thanks again 

 I just started after the hurricane since Direct Tv offered no reasonable repair time. I think they s aid 3 weeks. I made the appointment and then I told the girl "It will be great to see one of your trucks around. I just wish to confirm, Ive been a customer for over 20 years and have always had my payments in on time. I have been paying extra each month for the warranty plan you offer. Now that my house has been hit by a cane and took hits from 2 tornados you tell me the best you can do is 3 weeks?"'
Her response was some sort of mumbo jumbo. I then said, yup send the repairman and by the way, Ive had no service for 9 days so I don't ever want to see or hear from you again. II am done with your company. Somebody calls the next day to tell me they can get someone out in TWO weeks! I said no thanks I am done with AT and T. KInda enjoyed telling them to stick it!
 So I went out and bought a roku stick and stuck it in my tv and instantly had those free channels. I did sign up for "You tube TV" because I buddy said he had that, Now my question is Id like to get the second TV going in the bedroom. Do I just buy another stick?
thanks for the advice! 

 I was registered to the same party all my life until President Psycho was elected. I immediately joined another party. Had to, had no choice. Cannot be associated with traitors, criminals and psychotic paranoid schizoid liars and thieves.
 It should be noted that I named no party and did not reveal who I was talking about.
  By the way, anybody know of a sneaky type link to use to get to see the game tomorrow?
I signed up for a free trial for something last week that Im supposed to cancel so I could watch the red zone so I dont want to do that again.

next time I talk to him, which will prolyl be tomorrow, Ill tell him to stop in and say hello and all that kind of stuff.
 You know what the main difference is between the Pacific and Band of Brothers is? IN Band of Brothers  you follow the same group of guys from boot camp through the end of the War. You can't do that with the Marines because if you were on Guadalcanal the chances of you still being active when the bomb dropped is pretty much ZERO. I think Okinawa, or maybe it was Iwo Juma, for sure one of the two, a full 35 % were taken off because of "battle fatigue" or whatever you wish to call it. Actually kind of hard to keep your sanity when its impossible to ever sleep. Theres only so long you can get zero to very little sleep before you start hallucinating. Thats just medical fact. Add the very real high % of KIA and MIA and there is just no way anyone survived the whole war.
 As a matter of fact, the only person in the PACIFIC that might have been present for the whole War was the fellow that played Freddie Mercury. All the rest were sent home with injuries, KIA or entered after Guadalcanal. 

Well, I MUST say I have a formidable selection of War movies and stuff on the old dvds. For those 9 days I hung out with no electricity or phone, I DID in fact imbibe.
 I had the generator running the fridge, freezer, a couple fans a lamp and the TV. Now no phone and a satellite dish pointed towards Mars results in no tv. I even went up on the roof and loosened up the bolts and took my faithful compass and re-aimed it.All the meters for reception showed zero reception of anything. So...................... I says to myself, "Self, what would Santa DRAKE do? So out comes the "Collectors edition of Band of Brothers and The Pacific" which includes hours of related material. See Kimmie and the Drake had sent me that for Christmas years ago, made for great viewing!
 See the whole county is out running chains saws on their downed trees or trying to cover their roofs, Im inside with a fan watching The Pacific" all the way through. I only lost this 30 ft Maple I planted about 17 years ago, it didn't hold up against 150 mile an hour winds and at least 2 tornadoes hit my block.
 Speaking of this, I MUST say, I used my neighbors cell phone and called the Drake because there was no way to get ahold of me just to check in and say I am ok. He asked about "Betsy" the worlds oldest Labrador Retriever who I had put down the day before the cane as it turns out, Still very sad. He then asked me if I needed anything. I said "BATTERIES"!!!! Lota batteries. no one has them and everybody's flashlights and stuff are going soft. So Santa Drake sends me these super duper 50 packs of AAs,AAAs. c cells and 9 volts ones so now I have enough batteries to last me more then the rest of my life. That Drake guys a good feller!
 You know what I just thought of LENN? The last time I got hit by a cane my buddy Ron and I went over to the baseball park aid station and loaded my truck with like 6 cases of water. We went down to a area say 10 miles south of me that took the direct hit and delivered it to MONTANA GIANTS mom! I just remembered that.
 Ok Ill top boring you all with elongated, chatting away, stories which are actually true.
 Then I wrestled a gator in my pool and.........
 

um ok,  I kinda don't eat at hamburger fast food type places myself.
And you guys look down your noses at gator tail?
How about coneys and salt potatoes and all that Syracuse stuff I grew up with ?
Long Island Indeed!

 Great show?
DO we know what the plan is for it? I mean when will it be back and what time, day, etc?

ummm, ok what is a pretzel roll?

 Thank you. I have these intermittent flashes of clarity sometimes.
  Hey Lenn, I had my 6th and final "hose job" this [past Monday. Second time to go through the six treatments. Boy do I miss that! xxxx.
 So now I get a month off and then its back in for a  "hose job ' where they knock you out and stick some sort of little camera that also throws light along with a scalpel.  Take some of the old bladder skin off the wall and examine it for cancer cells. If it comes back "negative" then hooray and then I don't know what. If its positive I go to whatever is next. I think that's Kemo but I do not know for sure and I am not seeking info regarding this. Better to just take it one step at a time.
  For now though, no treatments for a month and a chance to heal up a little.
 Living through natural disasters sucks the big linguini too. Still haven't shook the trauma from the tornadoes that hit my house.
 I know I know, just felt like shooting my big mouth off.
 So how do I watch the Giants this weekend? Where's the free site on the net?
 That is all, hope all is well, just be glad you don't live in Buffalo.

 It saddens me somewhat that it is ending. On the other hand, they lost their mojo along the way and continued on playing it by the seat of their pants.
Those first 6 seasons were in my opinion the finest tv drama ever done. I see the "attitude" the whole effort setting a standard that several programs have adopted, the main one being forget about the cost of production.
 The show earned its spot in television history that's for sure. Regularly beating out Sunday Night Football in these days of recording equipment is certainly something that hasn't been done before or since.
 One other thing about this show, the freaking organizations that give out those "awards", boy they sure stiffed that group. I think it was that they saw the threat, correctly, that TWD was the show that really did signal the end to the Monopoly thinking of the major networks.
 I wish everyone involved with that production the best of luck in the future and hope they come back, probably without "walkers' in the future with all new material.
