    Stanley Cup Thread

    Well since Montreal seems to be laying down for (or being eaten alive by) Carolina, I guess we are simply left with mindless questions like “when did Wayne Gretzky start looking like Tom Poston?”.

    I am now a granddad

    As of last night. I met my new darling granddaughter today in DC. Please acknowledge my newly elevated cultural status and treat me with appropriate respect going forward. Also, would you like a Werther’s toffee? I have a pocketful.

    RIP Chuck Norris

    Never thought we’d see the day. This must be what it felt like to the Greeks when they realized Zeus wasn’t real. RIP.

    RIP Catherine O’Hara

    A comedic genius. Left behind many a tickled funny bone.

    Thinking about watching … Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul

    I realize that I really may be the only person here that’s not seen Breaking Bad. I’ve put it off for a lot of reasons, probably none of which are reasonable. While I was admittedly already on board with Justified, I’m not so sure about this one. I’m expecting some deep answers to this one...

    Thinking about watching … Justified

    I’ve got a few TV binges in mind of shows I’ve not seen, but have seen references that they are good to great. So this group’s assignment is to give me the goods on why I should or shouldn’t invest time. So, starting with Justified. I like just about everything Olyphant has ever been in. But...

    Dollar

    The team at OPDD is deeply saddened to share that veteran Kelly Galvin recently had to say goodbye to her Delta Dog, Dollar, who has been by her side since 2014. From Kelly: "Dollar touched so many people in his lifetime, and I never met a person who didn’t like or love him. He would come with...

    Best screen names here and “the old place”

    Could even turn this into a poll. What screen names past and present have resonated with you? Either because it was funny, or perfect for that poster, or whatever. Gotta say, my favorite really aligns with my adolescent childish sense of humor. ShowerFart is still top of my list.

    Board travel advice … westward ho!

    Taking two weeks PTO in August. Work has been super stressful, plus we’re dealing with an aging parent. We are heading out west on the road. Not necessarily dropping off the grid, but certainly making ourselves hard to reach. We’ve done southwest a few times, building some stops and sights...

    RIP Sports Illustrated?

    I’m torn. This “magazine” had become little more than a TMZ knock off, but man when I was a kid I couldn’t wait until my weekly SI showed up in the mailbox every Saturday. I loved that magazine, and anytime there was a cover shot of a local KC hero like George Brett, Lenny Dawson, Tom Watson …...

    Game day flyovers in Missouri are just better than yours

    Having Whiteman AFB so close to KC and CoMo makes for some awesome Veterans Day flyovers. Home of the B2.

    Ok pooods … it’s that time

    @pooods Straight up. Win or lose. No points. Fiddy bucks to the charity of winners choice? Operation Delta Dog for me.

    Any chance KU basketball sees the fury of Thor’s hammer today?

    NCAA report finally coming out today. My guess is … “Nahhhhhh”. https://www.si.com/college/2023/10/10/kansas-basketball-infractions-ruling-delivered-wednesday

    NFL 2023 predictions

    This might be a year that a dark horse wins the race. At some point the Chiefs are going to hit misfortune. Either CJ’s holdout or Kelce’s knee could really complicate things. Lots of fans around here think Mahomes is literally infallible but this year could prove to be really difficult. Not...
