Um, sure...

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Really.... Cursed Child won the election???? What's next Harry Potter and the Ham Sandwich maybe Harry Potter and the Hard Day at Work???

I mean if the story's going to go on at least tell a story that follows the characters along...maybe Harry Potter and the Divorce or something.

[Nyssa]

Heh.

Heh! Totally agree and thought the same thing when I saw it won.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I think it goes to show people just vote for whatever they've heard of, and not necessarily what they've read.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

I had the same reaction. Cursed Child was awful.

[Nyssa]

It really is.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

So, a friend finally got me to try Gotham and I got hooked on it...binged watched it....and now don't have anything to watch. Ho figure.

I set out to find something else to binge watch, tried Nikita...nope not great. tried DC Legends...wow, dumb. Now watching Daredevil. Not bad (well some of it's a little ludicrous but it's not terrible), but I wonder if anyone making the series gets the irony of having a show about a blind guy with 25% or so of the dialogue in subtitles.

[Nyssa]

I like Daredevil and binge watched Luke Cage. Can't do Jessica Jones though, it creeped me out.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

I've tried Daredevil but haven't really gotten hooked. I'm actually on a fresh new superhero burnout. Deleted Arrow from my queue unfinished and can't bring myself to continue watching the other ones.

[Nyssa]

I haven't watched Arrow in a while, nor Agents of Shield, and I never really got into The Flash. I wanted to watch Guardians but haven't really found the time.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

The last Arrow ended on a huge "WTF just happened!?" thing.

Daredevil is awesome. Sorry you suck. ;)

Do have to get around to Luke Cage eventually.

[Jay]

Loved all three Netflix/Marvel shows, thought Daredevil season 2 was best. Second half of Luke Cage got a bit silly, but was still fun. Jessica Jones was difficult but rewarding, if occasionally a bit heavy-handed.
About halfway through Flash s1, am liking but definitely seeing the drawbacks of traditional American TV schedule. Having to do 22 eps/year does make consistency much harder, and commercial breaks are also a hindrance.
Netflix has seriously put the brakes on my reading. Am now addicted to ESPN's "30 For 30" docs.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I agree. I kinda wish American TV would embrace shorter seasons. Less filler.7

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Can't agree...I date back to the '50s, 32 shows a season. The "TV season" ran from Sept. to May or June and summers were reruns. I hate the 10 shows and now we're gone for 6 months thing.

Can't agree with you more Mike.

Perfect!

And this is why I've bought ten copies of American Gods, and five of Storm Front

LOL!

It's a very humane solution.

[Charlton]

Completely understood :)

[Charlton]

Guests are about to come over and I may not have access to the laptop for a few days.

Just wishing everyone good cheer! :)

[Nyssa]

Have a Safe & Happy Holiday!!

James, that is perfect (and as Chris said very humane)!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

I do have multiple copies of some Malazan and I DARE hubby to even LOOK at my HB Dark Tower.

Speaking of that, I need to buy him a paperback of SoS so he can stop looking at my books. Though he has it on audio.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...I know what sos meant when I was in the army, but I doubt that's what you mean here....

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Song of Susannah.

Not a food.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Arguably neither was what I was referring to....

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Hah..true.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

right over my head, lol

The army "chefs" used to serve a gastronomic delight the men called "sos"...(view spoiler)[ "shit on a shingle" (hide spoiler)]. It was creamed chipped beef on toast. When I was in it was "retired", finally. They went to hamburger gravy over eggs.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

We had a breakfast variety that was sausage gravy over biscuits.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Yeah, I generally stuck with the ground beef over eggs. I got to like it pretty well. It beat a lot of what was offered.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

We did throw the sausage gravy over eggs when I went through basic. We only had about 2 minutes to finish our meal so the gravy was good to make it slide down quickly.

LOL, When I was in basic I remember our DI saying, "eat now, shew later". They really didn't go for spending time eating, to this day I eat too fast.

[Nancy D Miz-Firefly aka Sparky]

Hamburger gravy over EGGS? (My face just puckered up, and may stay there for a while) Say it aint so! In elementary school. we were always served HB gravy over sticky rice. It was my (second) favorite school lunch.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

I do like hamburger gravy over rice. And toast.

My great-Aunt used to make gravy on fully cooked patties and serve it with hamburger buns heavily buttered and toasted.

OMG. Tasty.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Isn't awful how when "stuff" tastes good it's bad for you.

Mike (the Paladin) wrote: "Isn't awful how when "stuff" tastes good it's bad for you."

Yes. Sooo awful. If I look at something tasty I gain 5 lbs. But if I eat "healthy" it takes 5 wks to lose 2 lbs. fml

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Yeah, I get that.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

And my current favorite is a cheeseburger with bacon and a fried egg on top.

*sigh*

so tasty

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Here's a perhaps odd question. Does anyone else feel weird eating eggs and chicken, mixed somehow?

I get a Zaxby's salad sometimes that has grilled chicken. Among other things, there are boiled eggs sliced and put on top. When I eat it, I avoid getting a bite with both the chicken and the egg. Am I weird?
