  2. The TV Thread

    If there's any Amazon Prime users in the crowd, Homecoming with Julia Roberts is fantastic.  Premiered last month from Mr.Robot creator Sam Esmail & it def has similar vibe to that show. But it's cleaner with a less clunky storyline... each episode is a short & concise 30 mins whirlwind. 

    The cast is fantastic, led by Roberts.  I'm even more a fan of Bobby Cannavale, Shea Whigham and Lip from Shameless.  

    This awesome review called the show a mystery box drama which I think describes it well.

    Then there’s the good kind of “what the hell is going on here?” TV, which presents a version of a specific reality, hints that there’s more to that reality than meets the eye, and then slowly reveals additional details that speak to the full truth of its characters’ experiences. In the middle of watching a show like that, you say, “I’m not sure what the hell is going on here … and I love it.”

    To many options for entertainment in Winnipeg...    the Moose tickets are dirt cheap and most people I would assume would like to see the young guns in the AHL.      The only way I think that they may have an edge on the Moose would be that some folks don't like taking their family downtown and would rather go somewhere a bit more safe.   Kind of a stretch though IMO.

    Feels like it would be oversaturation to me.

    Agreed.  Only so much sports & entertainment dollars to go around in a town < 800,000 Frugaltobans.  Already one new pro team coming in 2019, too.

    I tried burgers at Jonsey's in East St Paul and Shawarma Khan and both were excellent for Le Burger week.   I would recommend both. 

    I had One Great City's Enemy of the Steak burger yesterday.  Near perfect.  But that place just does everything right...so go there anytime.

    Tonight doing this beauty, the Randy Savage from Underdogs.   Will report back!

    But should out to Underdogs from that list for this:

     

    LOVE Underdogs.

    Big fan of Monday's deal; beer, burger & fries for $10.  Not a standard burger, it's a weekly special, fully loaded. 

    ...maybe that site isn't cursed after all.

    Has it actually been 1 year since the last one?!?!  Don't get me wrong, NOT complaining.  I swear it's been < 12 months since the last Burger  week.

    Or is this like that Sinbad genie movie from the '90s?

    I was just kidding.  I haven't mentioned Nichols in a long time. Got tired of fighting against the whole site day after day.  Some of the comments about the Riders are a bit over the top too don't you think?

    That's rich!

    Seriously Ripper?  You're better than that.  I'd expect that level of crap from Migs.  

    Same pig, different lipstick TBH.

    This was big 

    Most memorable sports broadcasting moments in my life:

    1) Chipman, 2011. "Today, on behalf of my family, I'm thrilled beyond words...."

    2) Bob Cole's call on a Sakic goal at the 2002 Olympics, Gold Medal game.  Jooooeeee Sakic! 5-2 Canada! Surely that'll be enough now.

    3) Wittman's call 9.84 seconds!
