  1. OK, can we speculate as to what's gonna happen? All of this in conjecture, as I'm only on book three (and unlikely to continue reading), and haven't read any of the fan pages. But here goes... (Conjecture spoiler alert): Obviously Jon Snow is not dead. Or rather he is, but conveniently the red witch, who has a habit of resurrecting the dead, is nearby. Notice what his death accomplishes though. Think about his vow to the Night's Watch: "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death." So if he dies and comes back, oath taken care of. Why the fixation on Jon Snow (who has had a really boring story line, IMO)? He's the crux of the story. He ain't Ned Stark's bastard son. He's Ned's nephew by the dead sister and the Targareyan she had a fling with. (Don't really remember this but I think it's in there.) Targareyans have a habit of marrying siblings. Daenerys Targaryen is widowed. Wedding bells. Oh, and she has three dragons she's slowly losing control of. Brandon's a worg (controls animals with his mind). Last we saw of him he was told he'd never walk but would fly. Done. Or one third done. Maybe the Imp rides another. He has that special saddle. The Imp is aligned with Daenerys. I say the four of them come together, probably with others, to rule the seven kingdoms, or maybe we unite both sides of the ocean as well. Arrya is roaming around aimlessly, as is now Sansa. Sansa's wolf died in the place of Arrya's (King Robert needed a wolf to kill and took Sansa's when Arrya's bit Joeffry). I think that portends that Sansa is somehow going to die to save Arrya. Don't know how that figures in yet. But he haven't had a good Stark killing in a few seasons now. Just some of where I see all this going. Kevin Slater
  2. Hey! That's my apartment. (Looks boring in that video. And the sound was fucked up.) Kevin Slater
  3. Same hike. Kevin Slater
  4. We're friends. Anything specific you mean to ask? Kevin Slater
  5. I just wanted to point out that this thread, started by Jackhammer in August 2010, has now reached 100 pages. I can think of worse tributes. Kevin Slater
  6. A friend once described his car as post-asparagus yellow. Kevin Slater
  7. Actually would have been funnier if I had used my profession. Kevin Slater
  8. The difference between a lawyer and a rooster? A rooster clucks defiance... Kevin Slater
  9. What's the difference between a circus and the Rockettes? One is a cunning array of stunts... Kevin Slater
  10. Sure, but in that case I would prefer the movie to be titled something other than Stonewall (and Titanic for that matter). That tittle implies to me that the movie is going to attempt to more or less tell the story of the Stonewall riots, not simply a melodrama set against the riots as a backdrop. Kevin Slater
  11. Neil Armstrong's named backwards is "Gnorts, Mr. Alien". Kevin Slater

  13. The Barnes is simply delightful. Amazing collection that any other museum would kill for, great space now that it's moved downtown, and very doable in a short period of time. Kevin Slater

  15. Don't know if it counts, but there used to be lots of porn in movie theaters. Kevin Slater
  16. Do you plan to stream video onto said tv? If so, be sure to check which apps come with which model. Samsung has most if not all available platforms, which I don't believe is the case with any other make. Kevin Slater
  17. Theoretically, yes. But searching the web on your tv is like cooking breakfast with a bic lighter. I suspect it would be better to connect your computer screen to the tv, browse on the pc and view on the tv. Kevin Slater
  18. AMC does not participate with Hulu. There's a substantial delay between the season finale and availability on Netflix. Kevin Slater
  19. I'm not a cord cutter as I never had the cord in the first place. I have a wonderful Samsung smart tv and a digital antenna. Though I literally never watch broadcast tv, it seemed smart to have one for the whopping $20 it costs. Someone once explained to me that you actually get a better picture via a digital antenna than by cable, because there's so much data being pushed through that one little cable versus the more moderate data being pushed via the larger path of the airwaves. When I flip though channels to test that theory, it seems plausible. Your smart tv has the apps that you use to watch streamed content (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Acorn, HBO GO (most wonderfully), etc.), and Samsung seems to have the best selection of these apps. You could also go the Apple tv or Roku route, which is simply a box that acts as the brains and talks to a regular dumb tv. Kevin Slater
  20. Bottoms summoning a top... Kevin Slater
  21. A cat burglar is just a regular burglar who knocks all your shit off the shelves while showing you his butthole. Kevin Slater
