HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Another one come and gone...

Have a Safe and Happy New Year!!!

WASHINGTON SETS NEW 36 GM RECORD

YEAH BABY!!!  Washington did it.  Dallas racked up 56 points in 36 games eclipsing the 1925/26 Ottawa Senators record of 52 points.  But Washington is really turning up the heat having won their last 9 games now.  They beat Dallas out.  In 36 games Washington put up 58 points.  That's unreal. 

This is not a record many people will recognize or understand.  Why 36 games?  Back when the record was established by Ottawa, the season was only 36 games.  It probably wont be on the Forbes List and I doubt any newscasters will cover it.  But after setting so many "We Suck" records, its nice to see Washington have such a fantastic year.

FORMLABS GETS PLUG IN ANTMAN

I guess here too.  There is a FORMLABS 3D printer on the work bench of Dr. Pym in his basement work shop.  It has a square white base and is amber(?) orange clear top.  Left side of the frame.
 
I watch movies over and over. When I say I have seen a movie 50 or 100 times, I aint lieing.  Some days my wife and I talk in movie clips or say a line from a movie during conversation.  Inside jokes are always the best.

Hunger Games a Rip Off???

I sat back and watched The Hunger Games last night.  I don't jump on the band wagon for movies.  The more hype it gets, the less likely I am to see it.  I never saw The Lion King, ET or any Star Wars movies after the 2nd one.  Too much hype.  The last time I saw an overhyped movie I was sorely disappointed because everyone has built it up to unrealistic proportions.

I am left with the conclusion that the Hunger Games movie is a rip off.  Its an elaborate version of The Running Man starring ARNIE with a few deviations.  Hunger Games is an ok movie, but the concept is far from original. 

Whats with movies these days?  Is our society that lacking in imagination that the only new movies we can come up with are redone versions of past movies or different takes on the same movie?

Style and Fashion

Style and fashion.  Everyone wants to be in style and fashionable.  Except me. 
When I was in High School, I bought a leather coat with fringes.  everyone laughed.  I could care less.  In my 20's, I bought a Lambskin coat with a fox fur collar.  Warm coat, but I looked like a pimp.  I didn't care. I liked the coat.

Now I bought a floor length trench coat.  My wife humored me and said she liked it.  A friend of mine came over and laughed in my face.  With the support, my wife confessed she didn't like the coat on me.  Hmmmm....WELL...

Tough Titty said the kitty.  Never one to care what others think of me, Im off to do some shopping.  And Im wearing my coat.  My wife is going to have to get used to it.

I don't care for fashion or style.  I make my own and if people don't like it then too bad.  They didn't pay for it and they aren't wearing it.

The only thing that matters is...I LIKE IT!

STAR WHAT???

I saw the original Star Wars.  I saw the 2nd Star Wars.

How many have they made since?  Who bloody cares.

I don't own anything Star Wars.  I never thought Carrie Fisher was hot. 

George Lucas is a FRAUD.  He was inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame in 07 as the creator of the 3 3/4" action figure.   Something he KNOWS he didn't do and yet he still took credit for it.

Obviously Im in a minority group.  The latest movie has destroyed opening day records.  And people love it and that's great.  Everyone should get every penny of value when it comes to entertainment.

My definition of value doesn't include Star Wars and hope this post doesn't deter anyone from seeing it.  People are raving about the movie.  So enjoy yourself, take a friend.  Have some popcorn for me.

Im going to go watch some Star Trek reruns.

WASHINGTON/DALLAS TIE 90 YR OLD NHL RECORD

Its official.  Both the Washington Capitals and the Dallas North Star have tied a 90 year old NHL record.  the record set in 1925/26 was set by the Ottawao Senators for scoring 52 points in 36 games.

As of this writing, Washington has played 33 games and Dallas has played 34 games.  Dallas has Chicago and St Louis currently 2nd and 3rd behind Dallas, so those are also all 4 pt games.  So Dallas will have a tough time of it. 

Washington has 3 games to hit 36 played with games against Montreal and 2 against Buffalo who is 3 points from being dead last in the league.  Montreal is dropping out of the sky like a brick with Price injured.

Both Dallas and Washington can break the record with one more win...the only question left is...

Who will set the new record?  Odds favor Washington.
