Re: Like Button

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

(...I haven't given up hope about this, anyway...in fact, I'll betcha we get one these buttons by the time the Arizona Cardinals win a Super Bowl) LOL Well, you're more of an optimist than am I. IMO, either: A. Creating/Applying a Like Button is equivalent to the Labors of Hercules, or B. Lomm just...

Re: SPORTS

Yeah soccer is excruciating but football is getting just as bad. Games last three and a half hours now and the ball is only in play for 10 to 11 minutes in an average game. I find myself watching fewer and fewer games each year. I used to be the guy that watched from the 11am pre-game shows until t...

Re: SPORTS

https://i.imgur.com/hEpLgP7.jpg In other words, business is usual. Episode? The Super Bowl is not an episode. What to think, the Super Bowl is a television miniseries? Regular season games are not regarded as episodes either. Whoever wrote that doesn't know football. He/she doesn't know the languag...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

I noticed odd activity on the old TCM forum. I pop over there every couple of weeks. I pulled up the "All Activity" link, which should show nothing recent, but I was surprised to see that new users were added, for some reason - all with a "TCM Staff" tag on January 31 and Februar...

It was, EP. Don’t know if they changed them by now,,though. I’m hoping they leave them.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a cursor that is black. I can't see my cursor any more, or difficult. I swirl it around and around and it takes awhile to catch it. I am virtually blind in one eye but the other one is good. I thought I would mention it and now is a good time since I'm a...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

First time I saw this ad (which was just a couple weeks ago), I thought it was a surgically-enhanced Billy Bob Thornton. Yeah Tex, I suppose there is a bit of a resemblance between 72SOLD's Greg Hague up there and Billy Bob Thronton, but I'm not sure I'm gettin' what you meant by your "surgica...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Crickets at least are cute. (and have you ever noticed that Fred Astaire looked like one?) Don't know if you get those "72SOLD" real estate commercials back east and down your way Bronxie (I believe this is a nationwide company), but this comment of yours here is very similar to the one m...

Didn't he look a little like Howdy Doody (without the freckles)? Not being much of a Howdy Doody fan, I had never thought of that before, but there is something of a resemblance. Another thing I've noticed is how touchy and feely Gene is with the contestants; no doubt other game show hosts were the...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Some seasons of: What's My Line and: I've got a Secret are sporadically available for streaming. One thing that I noted on: What's My Line is that the difficulty of guessing the occupation was occasionally based on sex, i.e. a woman who was a bail-bondsman or a man who sold lingerie. I read once th...
