Random Thoughts

My little town is in the midst of another COVID crisis and the outbreak again started at the very same Senior Living Facility I told you guys was the center of our initial outbreak back in March. They managed to stay COVID free from May until October 26th at which point they discovered a single case but now just two weeks later, NINETY FOUR residents and staff members had tested positive and most of them have apparently been spreading the virus all over town because as it turns out the majority were asymptomatic. This is the largest outbreak in my county since the entire pandemic began.

Did you spend the week in a van down by the river? Did you catch any fish?

Yep. Spent the whole week chillin'. No fish unfortunately. Didn't fish much due to the weather. Got a bit windy down there.

Windy! but it's warming up here heading into summer. Suppose to hit 39°C here tomorrow (102°F).

I'm sure that's what the crocs wants you to believe too....

Today it was 46°F and the wind was blowing pretty relentlessly pushing around 40mph.

Your prison colony sounds lovely this time of year.

Ain't no stopping this virus. We're looking at a second lockdown now. Not sure how the economy is going to fair at a second one. Went to Sam's Club this week and they were out toilet paper. Shit is happening all over again. I thought people understood last time that there was reason to hoard stuff? This is insane!

Nice! I already miss the warm weather.

I started seeing shortages on meat over the last month at my grocery store but now everything is flying off the shelves again, it's bare and you can't find basic necessities. Luckily though, I never stopped stocking up on meat or toilet paper, so I've got all my necessities in stock.

Oh damn.

A suspect has been arrested in the assault on actor Rick Moranis in New York City, according to a report in the New York Post.

A 35-year-old man is being held in Central Booking Saturday night, according to the report. No name has been given, but he was desribed as a Manhattan resident with a history of 13 arrests, including five for felonies.

He just attacked him for no reason or did he recognize him?

UltimateMarvel wrote:He just attacked him for no reason or did he recognize him?

Seems like just another regular NYC resident with multiple felonies that the justice system prefers to keep on the streets.

Although....when was the last time we heard from Joey?

Holla holla playa playas. I'm here. Just been a crazy week running around doing errands etc. The panic has begun in NY again. I was at BJ's, a wholesale club, and the line to check out spanned the whole store. I managed to actually get some paper towels. LOL

Apparently, the guy who attacked Rick Moranis is homeless with mental problems. What else is new, huh?

The panic is back in full effect here too because the governor of Washington just announced that come Wednesday he's shutting everything back down statewide, except for the elementary schools which are the only ones they reopened.

Good to know you weren't the Moranis puncher. I thought maybe you had an ancient grudge that dated back to when he shrunk down his children.

Damn, Sinbad had a stroke and is recovering.

I rewatched Necessary Roughness just a few months back and was reminded of just how prominent he was in the 90's and because my dad was a fan I saw a lot of his movies and tv work.

This spring Sinbad dropped by for a very quick cameo appearance on AEW's Dynamite but that was the first time I'd seen him since the 90's.

I hope he is able to recover from this.

Is anyone else seeing ads on the forum a lot recently?

No, never. Where are you seeing them?

I get them when viewing on my iPhone. I click the "View latest post", and an add opens up. Have to click the X in the corner for the page to load.

Yup, on my iPhone and iPad, pop up ads that didn’t used to be there

Huh, that's weird. I don't login on my phone though so I've never noticed it.

I haven't changed any settings for allowing ads so I don't think it's something I have control over.

Speaking of admin settings, it's been like five years since I've changed anything about this forum. Do you guys want a new color scheme and look or should I just keep it as is?

When I log in on my phone, I use the option to view the desktop version. I do not see any fullscreen ads using that view.

joey con carne wrote:When I log in on my phone, I use the option to view the desktop version. I do not see any fullscreen ads using that view.

My only mobile control option is whether you guys want the desktop or mobile version of the app on your phones. Based on what Joey's saying though the ads must be a mobile only feature.

I forgot we had a chat box at the bottom of the screen. I don't think I've logged in once in at least three years. I moved it to the top briefly just to see if it might encourage us to use it more since there tends to be a few of us on here at the same time.

I only use the desktop version of the site, I really don’t like the mobile

Noticed a couple of new scenes in this trailer. But not worth releasing a new trailer just for those shots. He should have changed the aspect ratio instead.

The chatbox still sucks. It logs you out if you are not active. That’s fine. But it deletes all the history. When i log back in, everything I typed is gone. Whack.

They should have made them CG just like Sonic. Real humans with cartoons doesn't mix well visually.

Your face doesn’t mix well visually!

I kinda like it. Brings back a bit of an 80’s or 90’s feel.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Chloe Moretz in a theatrical release.

I just discovered that Polly Draper of 80's tv hit Thirtysomething and the 90's Christina Ricci movie "Gold Diggers" is the mother of actors Nat and Alex Wolff. And to make things even more interestingly strange, their father was Arsenio Hall's band leader on the Arsenio Hall Show. That was just such a collection of random, I had to share...

This game looks fun. Makes me want to play it just for the bugs. I love how arrows destroy everything.


Also the remake of XIII.


Side note: I have recently discovered Viva Bianca. My gosh, what a beauty. No, I have never seen Spartacus and I do know she gets nude in that. Haven’t bothered looking up any pictures.

What did you recently discover Viva Bianca in? She's another blonde beauty from Rust's prison colony.

FYI, Viva doesn't just get nekkid in Spartacus, her debut scene features her in glorious full frontal and it's pretty unforgettable even though she keeps getting naked throughout the series, I never tired of her. Viva and Lucy Lawless had some great scenes together, among many other lovely ladies as well but looking up pictures from the show wouldn't do them justice, you need to watch.

I saw her in a Christmas movie called A Prince for Christmas. Curious, I watched a few clips from Spartacus and the movie Minutes to Midnight and The Reckoning. After seeing her clips in Spartacus, it made her role in A Prince for Christmas so different. She plays such a sensitive and really nice girl in that. A complete 180° from Ilithyia in Spartacus.

That lucky little Numerius fucker. Seeing Ilithyia disrobe and step into that bath was worth 10 Varro's.

Ilithyia was a psychotic little slut and I loved her.

To this day though, it's the only role I've ever seen Viva in. I've never understood how a woman with a body like that and talent in spades, never had a bigger career.

No doubt, Varo was not missed by me.

And who can forget the scene with Ilithyia and Spartacus in their golden masks when Lucretia played her wicked little game with them? 

Spartacus had many babes that unfortunately I haven't seen since. Viva is a stunner! Her IMDB says her last movie was in 2018, must have taken a break.

The ladies of Spartacus were strong supporters of full frontal nude scenes, group bathing and roman orgies.

Other than Lucy Lawless, the only two I see pop up on a regular basis are Katrina Law and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

Yes, a few of the ladies of Spartacus did the CW circuit for awhile.

Brooke Williams who played Varro's wife Aurelia was one of my favorites and her role in 12 Monkeys was unforgettable at not at all for nekkid reasons, she's talented. Brooke was also on Shannara Chronicles and Agents of SHIELD. But I wish I saw a lot more of her more often.

You'd think the beautiful women of Spartacus would have continued to work a lot afterwards but only a couple of them are really still around.

Katrina Law has done a few Christmas movies for Hallmark Channel. I see commercials all the time. I subscribed to two months of Sling for two months and got a free AirTV Mini. Pretty sweet deal.

What is with you and watching all these babes of Spartacus in christmas movies?

Two days ago against my better judgement I watched The New Mutants and discovered it was nothing but a cliched pile of crap and far worse than I'd ever imagined. Of course the very next day this Honest Trailer dropped and it summarizes all the reasons New Mutants is a massive waste of time. Please watch this trailer instead of making the same mistake as me because no matter how bad you've imagined this movie must have been to warrant three years worth of delays, you're still not even close. The New Mutants is not only the worst movie I've seen all year, it might just be one of the worst movies I've ever seen, period.

You know who I wish I would see more of, Jenna Lind who played Kore. She was gorgeous and she hasn't done other projects since Spartacus. She must have quit acting.

I'm guilty of this too. If I happen to catch these Hallmark Christmas movies with known actors, I just keep watching. Glad I don't have cable otherwise I would have a real issue.

Too late, watched it last week. Very accurate summary from Honest Trailers. It was shit and I also don't understand all the delay to produce this pile of shit. lol

Just read about Dave Chapelle acting like a bitch about his Chapelle Show contract. Kind of makes me lose respect for him. I won’t be watching any more of his work. I’m sure he wouldn’t give a flying turd about my opinion. But I hope he cries some more.

Happy Thanksgiving! How's everyone's Thanksgiving going? Any big gatherings? I've seen on the news about how some airports were packed and I couldn't believe it. lol

Jenna was gorgeous, I also knew her from Underbelly prior to Spartacus and she was a talented peach.

A few years back I read that she'd retired from acting and become a fitness trainer. How disappointing for the world but a wonderful treat for her clients....

Once I've seen a women go full frontal, I'm just not interested in her Christmas sweater look. That's just another reason I'm not married.

Then again, I do not watch any Christmas movies except for Gremlins, Bad Santa, Home Alone 1&2 or maybe The Grinch with Jim Carrey. But I do not watch these titles every year, I pick or two and that's about it for my entire Christmas viewing experience.

Yeah Dave bitched about not getting paid in his opening SNL monologue so I knew it'd be gone within a few days.

Just getting together for dinner with my parents and my niece, we're keeping it small this year.

Black Friday is here! There is nothing I really need. What about you guys? Try not to fight people at Walmart. lol

Lucky bastards! I can imagine having her as a trainer, I would do everything she told me to do and then some trying to impress her.

Yeah, same here.
