I heard something about a recent collision. Something about a bus going over a cliff on a curve known as Devil's Curve. Awful.


I wonder if that is why they have the little click to find out more thing on their streaming services when you watch a movie. Handy though because sometimes you are watching and it is bugging you where you know an actor is from.


That is horrible. It killed 48 people and it seems that isn't the first time it has happened either.


That is horrible. The government should really work on fixing that situation. Speaking of government, did you know that the government owns 86% of the land in Nevada?


I wonder what they are doing out there. Maybe it is nothing and it is just land held in trust like national parks or something.


That is my assumption as well. I'm sure a lot of it is protected lands. I am very angry that in 2006 legislation was passed that protects government employees for being prosecuted for violating Geneva conventions.


That is a horrible law. So basically because they are in the government they can do whatever they want? Seems like a great way to work our way to a dictatorship.


Apparently. They should be held just as accountable as anyone else. I don't even understand how that was allowed to pass.


Probably the same way the US senate and house vote on their own salaries.


Yes that's also a bad idea. It's interesting that Wikileaks found the government's plan to destroy Wikileaks and published them.


Me too (to both!). I feel like watching at home is just as good as going. Plus it's really expensive to go. And the cold!


It is and you cant watch the replay of a touchdown of foul, too expensive for only 11 minutes of live gameplay.


I know! Plus the bathroom lines are ridiculous! Watching at home is the way to go. Do you go all out on sundays?


No not really, I stay at home most Sundays what about you?


For opening weekend, I will do wings and cornbread. Usually a brisket too. I really like to grill and cook so I can go over board...


Great tradition I also like to cook and gather with friends, whats your favorite position?


I like the tight end position. I am 6'6" and can related to their size.


I see, my favorite position is Quarterback I just think the QB is the leader and after all every play goes though him.


Well then you'll love this trivia. Did you know that KEllan Moore is the only left-handed QB?


I did not know that! I thought there were at least a couple more lefties in the NFL.


Im great,, what about you? are you a fan of football?


Me too. My favorite is Jared Lorenzen, the hefty lefty!


He is a good player, I like Baker Mayfield he is a great quarterback and videogame master.


I am well, thanks! I am a fan of football. Are you?


I am, Im a fan of the Redskins and sure envy that fan that received the signed picture of Dan Snyder.


It's been a tough few years for you... Not sure a signed Snyder pic would sooth my anger!


Yeah I guess you're right, it would be nice to have the signed picture though, it seems like the fan was happy  about it.


Yeah. That's a tough division to be a fan of. Those 4 teams seems to be competitive every year. It's tough to win it...


It is pretty hard to win, so what team is your favorite one?


I am a Bears fan. Born and raised so I really do not have a choice... DO you go to many games?


Not really I just like to watch them from home, I am really exited about the Super bowl this sunday though.


How's it going? Do you like horses? They evolved from a multi-toed creature 45-55 million years ago


Yep, the only places without Netflix today is China, Syria, North Korea, and Crimea


Too sad for them! I bet Blockbuster is kicking themselves for not buying Netflix for only 50 million...now worth is 2 billion, lost a huge chance!


Yea, Blockbuster really screwed up by not buying netflix and charging a $40 late fee to Netflix founder Reed Hastings


I had those types of late fee's sometimes. I am happy we have Netflix now. I love the huge Box office hits on there besides tons of TV series.


Yea, they have a lot of good content, no surprise they take up 33% of bandwidth from 9pm to 12am


That's not surprising! Netflix and Youtube combined make up half of internet traffic. I don't even have cable anymore because there's so much to watch on Netflix.


I don't watch much cable either. I do like to watch movies though, Tom Hanks is my favorite actor, he's made over 8.5 billion at the box office


Wow, that is awesome! I love Tom Hanks, he has been in so many great movies. I also like Disney films, they are huge and it's odd they have had box office flops before.


Yea, Treasure Planet did bad, I think it lost Disney like 100 million


Wow, I bet they never dreamed that would happen. just like Trojan Wars, it took 15 mill to make and only earned a little over $300....crazy!


Hi! I love horses, had them on our farm growing up. Wow, that's amazing!


I've never heard of Trojan Wars but if it's ever in a theater near me I'll add on to the $309


Haha, I haven't heard of it either. But I would go see Silence of the Lambs again if they showed it on valentines day! Back in 1991 that came out and made 270 million haha! A Valetine's Day movie :)


Lol, some date. Well I've got to go, nice talking with you.


Yea, it's interesting how humans were able to domesticate such an unique animal so long ago in 4000 BC


That is amazing! I love how Dalmatians who are known to be with firefighters because they kepp the horsed calm and would protect them, awesome!


I find it crazy Clint Eastwood ended up developing an allergy to horses in mid-life


Really? I have never heard of people being allergic to horses, must be rare. I would love to be ride horses instead of driving, like the kids who rode their horses to ...no vehicle day....but they got suspended.


Horses aren't vehicles so I have no idea why those students would get suspended


Right? Makes no sense. So do you like to watch Netflix? I love the amount of shows they have. they have 137,000,000 subscribers worldwide, huge!


Yea I watch Netflix a lot, it's crazy how large they've became after starting out mailing dvds in 1998


Very true, such a big company especially after expanding to streaming media in 2007


Hummingbirds steal spiders nests? Little jerks.


There are a couple breeds that are universal donors.


Considering there are 12 different blood types for dogs, thats a relief haha


And what, Google doesn't like cats?  That doesn't make me like them


I find it funny that their code of conduct specifically declares them a dog company. I've never seen that before


Nope, never heard that.  Its fine to like dogs, but lets not discriminate here.


I wonder which is more popular, dogs or celebrities?


How about Judge judy makes $123,000 per episode.  And shes been on for forever


It's crazy to think only lebron makes more than her


Crazy.  And so what is the secret room in Pixar?  Do they have Walt Disney frozen in there or something?


I had never heard of that before, but its gotta be something ridiculous


Ya seriously. supposedly its to build their own nests haha


Some birds fly from alaska to northern mexico without sleeping when migrating.  The poor things, god how long does that take?


No clue, but my question is how they have that much stamina?


They must have to stop now and then to rest, so why not sleep?


Yeah exactly! It must help that their bones weigh less than their feathers


Helps with flying for sure.  So fragile though, its kind of amazing little birds can fly through strong winds.


It probably helps that their bodies are basically entirely designed for flight. Like their digestive systems and respitatory systems are all adapted for flying. its really interesting


It is.  Its also interesting that Instanbul has a vending machine for stray dogs in exchange for recycling.  We should do things like that


We should! I guess its good that we at least allow dogs to donate blood


I love how youtube has so many things to explore


An samsung. I love the expandable memory of androids plus not having to worry about breaks or apple slowing down my phone is nice.


Omg I know they were just recently sued for deliberately slowing downs the phones with the battery to get people to upgrade. Are you a fan of Taylor Swifts music at all?


I like her early stuff when she was still country. What about you? Anything of hers you like?


I love her second album that she released in 2008. What kind of music do you like to listen to on youtube


A lot of Christian music with some country and showtunes thrown in. Do you listen to music there or just stream videos?


I like to use it to listen to music while im working out in the gym since it autoplays the next song automatically. Do you know the country artist wheeler walker jr?


Can't say I've heard of that one. What songs does he sing? Sometimes I know the song not the artist.


He has a famous song called 'Drop Em Out' You should give his interview with comedian joey diaz on Youtube a listen.


I love how different media outlets are pairing with youtube. Gives the consumer more options


Definitely we can now really watch whatever content we think of on demand instantly


Definitely I have learned so much from watching joe rogans videos on youtube. Have you ever seen his interview with elon musk?


Crazy to think how far we have come in just the 13 years youtube has been a thing.


No I haven't. I tend to stick to music or ASMR videos.


I love ASMR its so soothing. Which are some of your favorite channels


I really like Gibi. She has such a relaxing voice.


Have you ever watched any of the live streamers on youtube like ice poseidon or adam22? they're both pretty funny


No I don't know much about the live streams. I do love all the educational videos though.


What kind of phone do you have a samsung or an iphone?


I love my android. I can't get behind apple.


What kind of android do you have? The battery life is way better than the iphone.


Hello,  did you know that the iphone has more computing power than a us nuclear icbm deterrent?


lol it was a funny movie,  wasnt that great though.  I really like the character that was an asian woman who ran fast while smoking lol


i never saw the movie, but i bet it was really funny. how could it be the funniest though if bill murray wasnt in it? LOL


lol right!  Have you ever seen 3rd rock from the sun?


no. i know that it was not the greatest comedy show around, but i guess it had its following


It was actually really funny,  still cant believe it beat seinfeld, friends and frasier in 1997 though.


the fix was in, or it was a political favor. maybe the show never won and they got a pity award? I wonder.


Comedy central has cancelled over 100 shows since 1989. what shows have not gotten canceled?


lol Im not sure i dont watch that channel much.  That is pretty crazy though,  that is a lot of turn over.


South Park has not fallen under the ax. I expect they have a few more years left. what would those guys do anyway. they work three months a year on the show. thats pretty good


Yes, and the iphone is also much better for chatting and web surfing. do you have an iphone?


Oh right,  south park!  I dont even watch that on real tv though, I just stream it lol


yeah, that is the way to go. the TV is just so old now. everything is on the internet. Anyway, great chat!


Great chatting with you ,  have a good one.


I dont actually,  I have an andriod lol Thats interesting to know.


i have heard that android is the superior phone. i wouldnt know but i would believe it. apple is about style, google about functionality


i do like comedy. i think that Bill Murray is great. how about you?


I think he would have been good as Green Lantern. Better than Jack Baclk.


Really?  I dont think so,  he doesnt seem right for the part lol I know he thinks kung fu hustle is the supreme achievement of the modern age terms of comedy lol do you remember that movie?


I could see Jack doing the part, he just is too kinetic for me. I disagree with Bill on that KFH. i think he was being facetious.


Hello.  What do you think of Trump and Kim Jong Un having a signing ceremony?


I agree with that.  Summits are usually with a lot of media exposure. That makes one think they are all for show.


Summits are now simply a common expression of global governance and they do discuss important topics on summits like the g20, but I feel they don't provoke much action is mostly show as well


Well considering an online game won a world summit award from the united nations you do have to wonder about them.


You would think they have more important topics to discuss.


You would think that. Then again an australian satire group got into the secure zone of a summit so who knows how seriously they are taken on the world stage.


Didn't they only get caught after one came out of the car dressed as bin laden?


I think so but still, to get that far?  I know the first president of zimbabwe was called president banana but one would think world leaders and world summits would have better security.


I mean during one g20 summit, russia gave delegates and heads of state thumb drives and chargers with trojan viruses that could illicitly find digital data. I bet given the lax security they got what they were looking for


They most likely did at that.  Did you know that Spain is the only country that has been at all g20 summits?


Spain must be really dedicated and actually care. The world leaders are also very passive aggressive at these summits. For instance, during brisbane g20, the canadian prime minster said to putin that I guess I will shake your hand, but I have only one thing to say to you. You need to get out of ukraine


I'm conflicted, but I feel that the summit is simply a show and nothing substantial will come of it.


That proves they are all for show too.  the leader shook his hand for the cameras but said something differently.


You could be right about that.  Kim Jong Un had his own uncle executed so he's probably not a trustworthy or nice person.


I think it is just a show on both sides. Trump is displaying his power in foreign policy by showing his authority to pardon heinous felons not only domestically, but on the international stage. For Kim, he is showing how he can bring the US to the table, despite the US being far greater in nearly every aspect.


I've thought about that myself.  I do want North Korea to honor their pledge to work toward complete denuclearization.  i'm hoping Trump will make that happen.


North korea has a long history of making promises and and never following up on its agreements and to an extend so do trump. The future seems unclear.


It seems that some experts say an armed conflict with north korea would be unlikely due to geography and such so with the powers that be knowing that this summit could just be a fake event.


Considering how much North korea sees its nuclear capabilities are tied with stability, their willingness to surrender or stop them is very unlikely.


China is also involved in this and their policies have not changed at all.  China would have to react strongly against north korea for this to be believable.


If China stops backing North Korea, it is highly likely it would crumble in on itself in a manner of decades.


hey my friend do you like watching the NFL?


yup I agree, its very outdated, seems like the kind of team that woudl but tracking chips on people even outside of the games


Yeah it does seem that way, anyway do you like the  fantasy genre


yes I don't mind it, I never play fantasy football though what about you?


I did like to play fantasy football but not anymore, you know there is a fantasy congress league, that must be really interesting or really boring


haha ya I'm leaning towards boring, just like the fantasy spelling league lol


Thats sounds really boring as well lol, I guess people will make a fantasy league out of anything really


haha it sounds like it, pretty scary though that the only difference between seeing fantasy as reality is one fold in the brain


Its a good thing we have that fold in the brain, there is a janitor that wrote a 15145 page manuscript but never published it, it was found when he died.


wow, that sounds intricate, it also had like 300 paintings, I wonder if it was really good or not?


I dont know, it was a long manuscript so there must be some good parts at least, who know maybe a movie is based on that manuscript or part of it.


Of course I do, what about you? do you have a favorite team?


ya they should do that! have you read anything from Terry Pratchett? I guess he was knighted for his work


oh I like the Patriots, I lvoed the Superbowl this year, which of the 32 teams is your fav?


Thats cool  I like the Patriots as well, pretty happy with the Superbowl win, the NFL was formed in 1920 and the Pats have won about 6 Superbowls right?


yes I think that is correct, its wild that there is only about 11 mins of live gameplay in an average NFL game though, seems low


I now right, it does seem a lot longer than that another interesting fact is that the players have ships in their shoulders, I wonder what stats come out of them


ya they get like, locatino, speed and rotation I think, im just glad that we don't have to wear them as citizens, all that info would b scary!


It would be scary, do you  know about the rule the Saints have against their own cheerleaders?


I have heard of it and I don't like it! Seems dumb they have to leave if a player enters teh restaurant theyre in, etc,


Yeah and really sexist if you ask me, its really unfair and I think the cheerleaders should sue the team for that


Not at all. I feel bad! I'm sure the YMCA was hoping for more success in volleyball, softball, and basketball when the invented it!


Jose Conseco claims to hold the record for the longest softball homerun.


Was this when he was taking steroids or before haha? I couldn't have sat through the 31 inning game when it happened in 1991!


haha probably during his steroid use. That's way too long of a game for me too!


I would be in my REM cycle on inning 10 haha. Did you know the first sporting event on ESPN was a slow pitch softball game?


I did not know that. Do you know much about telephones?


A little bit about Iphones. I know they have a crazy amount of computing power!


They have tons of computing power. More than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent system which is scary.


So scary! I need to do the UNICEF challenge where they donate clean water to kids for every minute you're not on your cellphone!


That's very awesome they do that. Good for them.


Hello, good thank you. Do you like baseball?


I'm going to go look into that. It was a pleasure chatting, have a great day!


I like to watch it live, how about you? I always wondered why the managers wore uniforms too!


I do too. Funny they can technically play if they are needed.


I'd like to see a 75 year old manager take the field sometime haha. I wish I was the guy who found that valuable card collection in his grandpa's attic!


That would have been nice. I saw he found three million dollars worth!


That would be a nice little find. I wonder if there are baseball cards in Japan since it is so popular there!


I have heard that too. Did you know kickball in Canada is called soccer-baseball?


That would be hard to say ten times fast lol. I like how softball has made its way into our past time, but professionals only make 5000 to 6000 dollars!


I think so too. That's not a lot of money at all!


Did you know MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75M? Bet they regret that one.


Interesting. In South Africa you can equip your car with a flamethrower to prevent carjackers. Wonder if oil slicks are ok?


LOL  Did you hear how Jann Mardenborough became a pro race car driver?


They beat 90,000 people in the Gran Turismo video game!


That's awesome. I've always thought video games could get me somewhere! Did you know Cadillacs are names after the French explorer who founded Detroit? Pretty cool.


I didn't know that.  How cool!  Do you play monopoly?


I was just playing with my daughter last week. I heard Nick Cage convinced Johnny Depp to pursue acting while playing Monopoly.


Nice!  The longest game of monopoly lasted 70 days!  Whoa!


I think I've played a few games that were close to that. Haha.


lol  Me too!  Every sweepstakes must legally have a free method of entry and that's why you can get free McDonalds monopoly pieces by mail!


No doubt since Facebook was valued at $104 billion in Feb. 2012.


Monopoly is actually outlawed in North Korea and Cuba for being so clearly capitalist.


I can believe it. It's been fun chatting with you!


THat's so crazy to imagine. So much money. Zuckerburg used blue as the main color on the site because he suffers from colorblindness.


I never knew that!  I can't believe it's been around 15 years already since he founded the company in 2004.


Wow. I still remember opening my account. Seems like yesterday. Iceland is rewriting their constitution through Facebook so the public can make changes and suggestions.


That's pretty neat.  Facebook's "like" button is illegal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.  I wonder why?


Hmmmm, no idea. That seems really weird. Burger King once had a promotion where you could get a free Whopper by unfriending 10 people.


Nice.  I would have racked up quite a few free whoppers.  ...with cheese please!  lol


Haha. So do you like Whoppers more than Big Macs? McDonalds added the drive thru in 1975 to accommodate soldiers who were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues.


I do like whoppers better.  lol  I had no idea it was that late.  I'm surprised I don't remember them not having them.  The trunk of  cars became to be known that because in the old days people used to carry wooden trunks on the back of their cars.


hi how are you? do you like horror films?


Yes, great film. i really enjoyed it. spooky, supernatural stuff. directors cut is good.


No one involved in filming it thought it would be considered a horror film. I wonder how in the world they thought that?


That is an odd conclusion. i guess they thought it was a love story. satanic love story.


I'm not sure what they thought they were filming. Did you also know that the writer of Rocky Horror voices the dad on Phineas and Ferb?


i did not know that. it is a small world. i guess that the writer is also a talented actor.


I guess so. Did you ever hear what the original title for Scream was?


That is a pretty good title. a little campy, a little high concept.


It's hard for me to picture it with that title now because I associate it with the spoof movie that came a few years later.


I think that the title of the movie is important. for example, shawshank redemption. how would anyone know that kind of movie it is?


It is hard to get the plot from that title. It was nice chatting with you. Have a good night.


I dont usually watch horror. What is your favorite?


So many it's hard to choose. The Thing, The Shining, Texas Chainsaw. So many. Do you like Stephen King?


You like the blood and gore type. I prefer the spooky type. King is a great writer. His stories work well on the screen.


I like both. I don't like them too gory or gory for the sake of being gory. I don't like torture porn. Did you know that King says the first horror movie he saw was Bambi?


He was a sensitive child, but i understand. i would have been afraid during bambi too. He turned his fear into a career.


Those old Disney movies are rough. Did you also know that Christopher Nolan meant for Inception to be a horror movie?


That would not work. it is already ominous enough. it does not need blood and stuff.


I bet it's a neat venue.  Ironically, in 1972 Pink Floyd recorded a live concert at an ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompii..with no audience!


What were they thinking? i guess they wanted the acoustics of the place? seems expensive.


I'm guessing that's what they were going for. lol  In 2002 Creed played a concert that was so bad that they were sued by four concert goers.  Wow. lol


Isnt creed a christian rock band? i wonder what they did that was bad. must not have rehearsed or something.


Yes they were.  They aren't together any longer.  It must have been something that left a really bad taste in the mouths of the concert goers. lol  Did you ever get into playing video games?


I played when i was a kid. i dont play much now. what about yourself?


Same here.  I lost interest when I hit my late teens.  It's illegal for kids 16 and under in South Korea to play video games past midnight.


I know that the kids get addicted. i have heard that there are cafes there where you go and play games.


It's crazy how the kids are now with games.  Really makes me sad to tell you the truth.  Seems like they are wasting their lives away.  Game designer Jane McGonigal calculated that as a planet we play 3 billion hours of video games a week.


Well, we cant go back to the way things were. people love games and video. anyway, great chat!


I used to go to concerts when i was younger. i dont have the time or money now.


Same here.  When you went did you like to go to small nightclubs, concert halls, arenas, or outdoor parks?


I went to smaller venues. more intimate. a better chance to watch the performers.


Me too!  I used to go this place called the Newport in Columbus, Ohio when I was in college.  Loved it!  Due to the success of their debut album, Linkin Park played 324 concerts in 2001 alone!  That's a lot of shows!


How did they manage to stay standing? i would have collapsed. that is great! they must have made a ton.


I bet they did.  The Ramones were in it for the long haul.  They played 2,263 concerts while touring almost non stop for over 20 years!


Those guys must be in great shape, or they are cyborgs. they are the ironmen of rock. good for them!


lol Yes!  In Croatia there is an ancient Roman amphitheatre that is still used for concerts.  That would be neat to see a show there.


I wonder how comfortable the seats are. i bet the sound is pretty good though.


So, you much of a fan of basketball or golf? I find it neat that Babe Ruth was once America's most famous golfer!  Guess that was before he found his niche in baseball.


Oh, yeah, especially in Dubai!  The golf course there requires 4 million gallons a day!  I bet a lot of it evaporates in the heat!


4 million gallons wow, more that 10 times the water normal ones require,


I've read about this guy who's a diver for golf courses, he finds lots of balls (sometimes even entire sets of clubs!) when he goes down into the water!


He must have a lot of balls then, does he get to keep them?


Actually he cleans them and resells them to various golf shops.  Sounds like a neat way to make money.


It does sound like a great business idea, some balls must be worth a lot specially the ones used in pro tournaments


Especially if someone famous has used them, like say Tiger Woods or someone big like that.  Jumping tracks a bit.. do you watch much TV?


I do like to watch TV its one of my favorite forms of entertainment


Did you know That 70's Show was remade in the UK?  It was cancelled after 10 eps though...


The show must have been terrible, only 10 episodes! thats terrible how was it called?


I like basketball yeah, not a big fan of golf but both are great sports.


They called it Days Like These.  Neatly enough, The Office is also based on a UK show of the same name.   It's had better luck though.


The Office is a great show, I like it a lot


Basketball isn't too bad... do you know they have a basetball court in the Supreme Court building?  The call it "the highest court in the land".  Wonder who they get to play there?


I didnt, must be great to watch a game there and probably Lawyers vs Judges or Criminals vs Judges


Criminals vs Judges would be rather interesting!  LOL.  Speaking of high things, they say in 39 out of 50 states the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach.  Man, I picked the wrong profession!  :)


So did the inventor of the game lol, he was a basketball coach but a terrible one, how is that even possible! he made the rules for the game


Well, knowing how to play and being able to play isn't always the same thing.  I can tell you all the moves of chess, but there's not a lot of people I could beat!


Chess is a really challenging game, golf is also a challeging game


Always though golf would be cooler if they used hand grenades... but that's just me.  :)  Did you know Sam Jackson is a big golfer?  He requires his film contracts to allow him to go golfing twice a week during production!


He must be a really big fan then, golf couses require a lot of water, excessive ammounts of water


I like the S but that is the only one i really know, it runs linux. How about you?


I like the X model I think its great the S model is tested indoors I think that's a bit odd.


Right, you think they would test them outdoors since they are used outdoors lol.


Elon Musck also founded Paypal and SpaceX right?


Yea that guy is mega rich and innovative. He also produced movies too!


He has? that is so cool I heard he was planning to colonize Mars, can you imagine that.


I wonder if we will be alive when that actually happens. I hope so, the guy can do great things with his money!


I sure hope we are, he will be remembered by many generations to come if he manages to do that.


I agree with that, he just needs to take a break sometimes, I heard he works way too much! It was so nice chatting with you!


I would take a break if I had his fortune or even a fraction of it lol it was great chatting I agree, bye.


Right I would buy an island and never work again lol! Have a great day!


I do too, I wish it was a cadillac sometimes, do you know what they were named after?


No not really, how did the brand get its name?


It was named after the founder of detroit. Some french guy named antoine de la mothe cadillac. Cadillac sounds better lol


It does sound better I agree, I wish I had the resources to buy a Tesla that seems like a really cool car


Right, tesla is a great car company and expanding fast


It is, they're vehicles are the future, Elon Musk is a great CEO he sacrificed his paycut back in 2014.


right, I heard though recently he sent an email to employees about a bunch of layoffs coming, i hope not


That would be terrible so which model do you like better the S, X or 3 model?


No I have never listen to any radio dramas,  are they good?


They're kinda corny, but that's what makes them fun! Apparently there's a collection of them online somewhere where you can check them out if you want.


I have come across a site that does that its like Relic Radio or something.


I have no idea haha. I only listen to lofi hip hop radio. But I don't mind guitar music too. Especially the kind that can set the speakers on fire.


Indeed. Do you listen to Muse? The lead singer apparently has a record of smashing guitars. Now that is loud!


I know a few of their songs,  but I dont know the guitarist,  but thats amazing and expensive lol


He's crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if he would tune into the radio signals coming from Jupiter and incorporate it into the set.


lol I dont even know how that would work.


Just got to tune an AM radio right and you'll get the signals. You should try and see if you can do it!


I hate it haha. I think we should be like that state in Germany and make it illegal. And I mean all of it!


But how would he be able to tune into a radio station by playing a guitar?


Two words, my man: Fuzz Factory. The wildest pedal known to man. Makes a guitar do the wildest things you can imagine.


Even get a radio station though?  That is interesting.


I'd believe it! But I'm gonna go try it out on my own guitar and see. So see ya later! Nice chatting with you.


lol I think in Germany only the like button is illegal.  Did you know that myspace declined an offer to buy it in 2005?


I think I heard about that somewhere. Well, guess that explains why they're not relevant anymore. They were more color-blind than Mark Zuckerberg - they couldn't see all the green they could have made!


hahaha that is hilarious!  What do you think of BK's promo,  get a free whopper for 10 people you unfriend?


That's genius! Very bold, don't you think? What do you think of Iceland letting people on there offer input on their constitution?


I would definitely do it for a free whopper lol I think that is smart of Iceland,  while at the same time saving paper lol


Very innovative I'd say. Just like how WWII soldiers used to make razorblade radios.


That is really creative,  I wouldnt know how to do that lol


Me neither haha. Do you like to listen to the radio though? Have you heard any of those old dramas they used to play, like War of The Worlds?


Well the way it did pan out facebook has became prettty popular these days. It was worth over 104 billion in 2012 Probably triple that by now.


That is crazy how much they are worth, I remember posting on facebook when their stock hit $19, and said, 'who's buying?


Yeah. You should have bought a few stocks huh.


Yeah I should have bought a lot of bucks worth lol.  It was over $200 earlier this summer.


I have just never been one to put my life out there on facebook for everyone to see. I dont know maye Im weird like that.


Yeah I am the same, and I wonder what young children who get their pics posted by their parents will say when they never had a say in it?


I would say the kids will grow up that way and never think anything of it. That will just be the way of life for everything to be in the publics eye if you will.


Yeah that is true, they don't know what it's like to live a private life most likely.


Nope my 13 year old daughter constantly has her nose in her phone. When i was 13 I didnt even know what a cell phone or a computer was hardly.


Right, I didn't get my first cell phone until I was over 20, I remember using the old rotary phones.


Hello there, well thank you, I hope you are too.  Do you use facebook?


Yeah I was 19 when I got my first phone and me and my brother had to share one. Lol. We also had to pay the bill. Kids these days dont know nothing about that. Lol. Well Im gonna have to be going dfgot a lot of stuff to get done today.


Right, sounds good it was nice talking with you today.


Yeah. Probably not as much as the normal person does. but I do use it from time to time. How about you.


Yeah I used to a lot more, but I still use it to stay in touch with friends.


`Its just crazy how facebook has grown to be such a big part of peoples lives. I remember back in the day when Myspace was the thing. Did you ever have a Myspace.


I think I might have set up an account and never gone back to use it ever again, they had a chance to not become obsolete but missed it.


Yeah I would say buying facebook for 75 million would have been a good deal for them. they missed that boat.


Agreed, would have been the steal of a lifetime but you never know how things will pan out.


Yeah They may have ran it right into the ground.


That is also true, sometimes that does happen when one company takes over another.


Oh, I do know who he is. Was he a high school teacher before or something?


I'm not sure.  I never heard of him until Mad Men came along.  Did you ever listen to radio dramas?


No, I tend to not listen to the radio very much to be honest. What about you?


I never have listened to them but I see that there's a website where you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas for free.  I'm going to have to look it up.


I don't think I would listen to it to be honest. Are you a Jim Carrey fan?


I love Jim Carrey.  What has he been up to?


I don't think very much lately to be honest with you.


Do you know why Michael Caine became an actor?


I think it was because he was chasing girls, lol.


Haha you're right!  He was chasing all the prettiest girls from his high school because they were in drama class so he decided to try it.


I like the NBA.  Did you know the league adopted the National Basketball Association name in 1949 after merging with the competing National Basketball League?


Hilarious. Well it was nice chatting with you.


I did't know that. That is pretty cool. What about Drama, do you watch it?


Me too. Did you know Hugh Laurie is the highest paid TV actor for a drama?


I didn't know that.  How much does he make?


He was the main character in Mad Men.  I loved that show.  I guess he taught drama at his old high school.


He leads the offense, so he is in charge of determining the plays for scoring points


Ok, I get that. The most I know about FB is the reputations of the Pats and the Eagles and their rabid fans. Apparently, the Eagles had an actual court in their stadium for like six years because their fans would get out of control.


It's true!!! I've been to an Eagles game, it was CRAAZY


I've actually never been to a football game before, like, at all. Apparently it's somewhat big in Canada, too, not just the U.S., so I'm a North American anomaly lol


Hhah! I would like to see the university of iowa's pink locker room!


Yeeeeah. I wonder if they did that for the visiting team to make them feel emasculated? I mean, theoretically color is not gendered but, let's be real. There was definitely a tactic behind that.


of course. Although as a girl, pink is my favorite color.


But I'm a girl and blue is mine, so really it doesn't matter. But I wonder if the pink was like hot pink or light pink. Because if it was hot pink then wouldn't that have stimulated/amped up the team?


It's cool that espn won an emmy for putting a yellow line, i don't know much about football but that's cool


I guess that category must have been special effects? Sets the bar pretty low lol.


No, but I'm clearly in the minority. 14 of the 25 largest stadiums in the world are for college football!


Why can't we harken back to the days when bowlers made way more money than football players? That's a sport I'm semi-good at!


Same! I didn't know that the highest scored game ever was a college game over 100 years ago !!!


The game last night was pretty disparate. I don't know too much about football, but apparently the Pats are amazing even without RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis


I honestly didn't watch the game. People are so committed though. I can't imagine continuing to play with a building burning down behind me.


I didn't watch it either, but I looked up the results. Wait...a building burning down behind you? Huh? Has that happened?!


No! In 1965, a high school team kept playing even when their building was  burning down behind them! so crazy


I'll bet that was in the midwest or pacific northwest. They're crazy about FB there. But apparently Maryland Uni has a pretty stellar team, too.


Yeah, my brother actually played quarterback. I didn't realize that a deaf quarterback created the hand signals.


I don't really...know too much about football, to be honest. Like I know the term quarterback, but what exactly is the quarterback's role on the team?


i never saw that video. i think the song was used in a super bowl commercial. he got his 15 minutes of fame.


Yea, I wish Justin Bieber's fame would end, he has the most disliked video on youtube


i wonder if people dislike the video or him. i dont know his songs, but i dislike him anyway.


Probably both. Do you happen to like the Harry Potter films Warner Bros. released?


i saw the first one. i liked it, but i havent read the books. i know that it is popular and rightly so. well told stories.


Yea, they even made two spin off movies called Fantastic Beasts


oh yeah, i heard of those films. are they good? are they based on books?


I heard Fantastic Beasts were good and I they are related to the books but not based on any of the books


yeah, thats good. i think the author is probably tired of those characters, Anyway, great chat!


You too, I think I'll read the unauthorized Harry Potter sequels china released


Doing good, do you watch youtube? It was created back in 2005


that sounds great! the chinese really know how to do it right. have a good night!


i do watch youtube. it is a great way to hear old songs.


Yea and youtube also has a bunch of tv show clips and even some documentaries


the documentaries and news shows are great. youtube originally allowed only 10 minute videos. now i think its ten hours.


I never knew that, I did know youtube is the second largest search engine


youtube was bought by google so i bet they share search engine technology. makes sense that people use it a lot.


I guess so, it's kinda crazy how Netflix and Youtube make up half of peak internet traffic in North America


people love video entertainment. i guess the number of subscribers on netflix is in the 10s of millions.


I know, Psy's Gangnam style was so popular youtube had to upgrade their view count to 64 bits integers


That would be cool to visit. Did you know Iceland has no public rail system and most people travel by air there?


No, I didn't know that.  I've never been to Iceland.  Have you?


I have never been to Iceland. Did you like it there?


I don't think I'd like it there, too cold and I would not sit cramped up on a flight just to travel between their cities.  lol


Me either. Did you know Cadillac was named after a French explorer?


Is he the explorer that founded Detroit?


Yep, he also founded Detroit which is pretty interesting.


Did you know the trunk of a car was named that because older cars actually had wooden trunks in them?


I used to.  Nowadays travel has gotten too cramped and unpleasant for me.  Do you like to travel?


I love traveling. Did you know the Dutch are creating a bus that can travel 160mph?


Whew, that thing goes fast.  Not sure if I'd be riding it.


Me either lol. To travel across Japan, it would cost roughly $300 in tolls.


Actually, I've been to Japan a few times on business, back when I traveled frequently and that's true, all their roads are tolls.


That's pretty cool. Have you ever been to Mackinac Island?


In Michigan. They banned motorized vehicles for over a hundred years.


I've been there once, it was a few years back and it's quite odd not to hear and see cars moving about.  It's awfully quaint.


How's it going, do you like Drama? It has been around since at least 335 BC


He was great in Mad Men. Michael Caine took drama in high school, but he just wanted to meet girls


Look, John Hamm's student was Ellie Kemper from the office. I am sure he just wanted to meet her!


Yea she pretty and funny. Did you know Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore due to his belief system?


Yes. He is weird. I don't even know what to think about him! Do you know that soap opera originated because they were sponsored by soap manufacturers in the past. Makes sense!


No but it does makes sense, I wonder if theres a website that streams soap operas like there is for classic episodes of radio dramas


I love some talk radio and podcasts. I am thinking I would enjoy that too. Have you heard of the show Ikea Heights?


It is a melodrama shot at an ikea store without the store knowing.


Cool. Speaking of drama, Hugh Laurie is the highest paid drama actor on tv


The guy that plays in house? Is that right?


I do like drama. But I really love comedy!


Yep. Well I got to go. Nice chatting with you


Me too, I must admit I'm a fan of black comedy


That is cool! I would have never guessed but Evan Almighty is the most expensive comedy ever made. That movie was not even that good and they spent $200 mill.


Did you know that Demetri Martin was accepted into Harvard law but left for comedy?


That is crazy! But I love that he followed his passion. I can't believe that the green lantern film was going to be a comedy with Jack Black starring in it. Not so sure about that.


Sounds like a bad choice. Have you heard about bromantic comedies like Harold and Kumar and the Hangover?


They are pretty funny movies, Pineapple Express too, that is if you like stoner movies


I have never seen it! What do you think about John Hamm? He taught drama at his old high school.


Yeah, I think we rely on the internet entirely too much. Constant novelty from clicks can cause real addiction. I wonder if I have that.


Ha, I probably do. I know I'm not the 7% that read the full terms when buying a product though.


Taylor Swift once removed her music from Spotify because she said "music should not be free."


I mean it's kind of true, because artist wouldn't make music for free. I do love her though and have listened to every album since she first started.


Have you listened to the 8 seconds of white noise she released? It was an accident but it topped the Canadian iTunes charts.


No, I had no idea that actually happened. I did see Kanye West interrupt her accepting an award though.


Yeah, and it seems he had practiced before he did that. He did an SNL skit mocking himself for interrupting award shows. This was two years before the incident with Taylor Swift.


Sure, I do quite often. Did you ever see the music video for "Baby" by Justin Bieber? It's the most disliked video on YouTube.


Wow. I seen she owns a private jet and an airport hangar in Nashville.


Awesome! The jet cost around 40 million bucks!


Yeah, it is very catchy. So is Gangnam Style, which got so many views on YouTube that they had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits.


I know! I can't believe it broke YouTube.  Actually, Youtube is the second largest search engine.


Cool. Netflix and Youtube together make up half of peak internet traffic in North America.


That's crazy. Police have their own channel called blutube.


Interesting. I guess we rely on the internet a lot this day. But fear not, when you climb mt. everest, you will still have 3g cell service!


That is so interesting! I guess you would have great reception that high up.


And if the internet ever goes down, the current library of Alexandria has a copy of the internet for us.


How's it going, did you know an AM radio can pick up Jupiters radio storms?


Yea but it's not all good, like when facebook came out in 2004


I remember when it started and was limited to college campuses, it was fun then. Once they started collecting and selling data, it all went downhill.


Yea I stopped enjoying it when they started to let 13 year olds on back in 2006


It's too much misinformation these days, I wish people would take the time to research something before blindly re-sharing ti.


Yea, it's a shame myspace didn't buy facebook back in 2005


I think social media was always headed down this path. The amount of money offered for data collection was probably always going to be too much to resist.


Yea, Facebook is valued at 104 billion from all the data it collects


It could have been used for fun promotions like that Burger King one where you had to unfriend people for a free Whopper.


I wonder if data collection has any influence on make the like button illegal in Schleswig-Holstein


I was wondering if it was a case like that or if in some different cultures hand gestures have different meanings and it could be seen as offensive.


Good morning, I did not know that. I wonder what they sound like?


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Me too, I'd rather listen to that than the all Latin program Nuntii Latini broadcasted in Finland


It's cool that they have a program dedicated to an ancient language, but that does not sound like my sort of show.


No, I'd rather listed to the website that streams classic radio dramas for free


Could you imagine if the radio was still the main source for entertainment? It would be cheaper than cable!


Yea but I probably wouldn't enjoy it if I lived in Canada since by law the radio has to play at least 40% of music played by a canadian


That's a good way to help promote local artists. I get tired of hearing the same songs all the time.


It's pretty cool that a radio can be made from a razoblade and pencil, I might try to make one some time


It is amazing how versatile of a technology it is. I am sure it had helped people out of some tough spots.


Did you know that Bruce Lee was a great dancer?


That is incredible!  Ballet dancers can wear out 4 pairs of dancing shoes per week.  Looks like that could find a more durable material.


Dance is such a beautiful art even parrots are getting into the action.  Parrots are able to dance perfectly in time with music.


My daughter used to have an African Grey.  I have seen the bird do it.  My wife plays the piano which is a stringed instrument but because of the hammers can be a percussion instrument setting the beat for the parrot.


Do you think parrots can dance to the sound of a piano?  It crazy to think that steam piano's used to exist and I hear they are very loud.


They can move with the beat. There is a gorgeous pianist named Lola Anastanove or something like that that I saw on Youtube.  Freddie Mercury used the same piano to record Bohemian Rhapsody as Paul McCartney used for Hey Jude.


Interesting fact!  I saw a Youtube video about a mute man who was found wandering the streets in England and the only way he could communicate was via piano.


In 2006 a group of climbers reached the top of Britain's highest mountain and found a piano.


How in the world could a piano have been placed there?  Fun piano fact.  Mozart and Haydn two of the biggest composers of the classical era each owned a piano made from the same tree.


That is a fun fact.  I would guess a helicopter on the piano placement.  They needed a light grand piano on the Hindenburg, so they made one of aluminum and it weighed 356 pounds.


All these fun piano facts and to think Italy was the county that invented the piano.


No but I figure since he was so good in martial arts moves, dancing would come easy.  What is more surprising is Mr. Rogers learned to break dance on an episode.


We have a 7 ft 6 inch grand in our house.  It is a great instrument.  Don't forget to look up Lola, the greatest female pianist of the day.. Nice talking with you.


Lee won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship in 1958.


Well another actress who won dancing was Emilia Clarke.  She did the funky chicken dance and robot dance during her audition to Game of Thrones.


It doesn't seem that that would help her get the part.  Tupac danced ballet in high school.


Really!  I always thought he was softy in the inside.  Speaking of ballet, there are slippers that made drawings from the dancer's movements.


That would look like modern art to me.  Tupac obtained the role of Mouse King in a production of Nutcracker, so he was serious about it.


Another dance who took his job seriously was tap dancer Bill Bailey he was the first to do the moon walk ever recorded.  This whole time I thought Michael Jackson was the first.


I did not know that.  Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music, so I must have lost my sense of rhythm between 1 and 5 years old.


Well Richard Nixon had a great sense of rhythm, he wrote a piano concerto and performed it live on the Tonight Show.


Yeah i think one of the phrases he coined was Brave new world, so that fits, lol!


It does fit lol, its been a long time since he was alive he was born in the year 1564 and theres a lot we dont know about him


Yeah apparently him and Pocahontas were a live at the same time.


Pocahontas was a real person? I though she was a character in a movie, turns out its based on a true story,


Yeah i know, right. Well another one of his words is laughing stock, haha.


When my knees aren't given me trouble, lol! how about you?


I love to dance, do you know that parrots are able to dance perfectly with music,


I think they do as this ability is connected to ther mimic and speak abilities


I  have its actually one of my favorite shows, why do you ask?


Wow that's also interesting! Well as Shakespeare would say thats a good way to break the ice, lol! nice chatting with you.


Its been nice chatting indeed, and the last interesting fact, the moonwalk was actually firt performed by Bill Bailey in the year 1955


Because he was once the highest paid actor on tv for a drama, $700,000 per episode.


Wow, that seems like a lot of money, I liked the show and all but $700000 per episode seems like an excesive salary


I agree. Apparently Jim carry doesn't make drama anymore.


Why doesnt he? he is a great actor, although I  see him more as a comedy actor


Yeah it didn't make much since to me either. but he says it goes against his belief system.


I guess I can respect that, drama can really change your state of mind, I like comedy better, do you follow Shakespeare?


Not since high school, lol. I hear he coined a bunch of phrases that we use today though.


Yeah he has had a lot of influence in our culture, there are 33 Shakepeare gardens around the world, just imagine that much influence


Are you familiar with machine learning (ML)?


I guess the ocean floor is pretty calm, and not many creatures attack the cable. I wonder whether this is the same cable that was used when rotary phones were around.


It's cool that Unicef donates a day of clean water for every minute that you don't use your cell phone...but how do they know that you are not using your cell phone?


I don't know. Maybe they have an app that checks whether you're using it? I wonder how many people can keep their hands off their phones.


Good question.  That would take a ton of self discipline for most people.


Do you own a pet? Teddy Roosevelt had more than 20 of them.


Yeah, I have 2 dogs. Do you have any?  20 is a bit much lol


Teddy loved nature. I don't have any pets. Japan has more pets than children now. Something needs to change there.


The first cloned cat was named Copy Cat.  How clever


Wow there are more tigers kept as pets in the US than there are in Asia...why have a tiger as a pet!?


I guess it's a status symbol. I think people should leave wild animals in the wild.


I agree...especially the one's that want to eat you for breakfast lol


I've heard a little about it. It's a way to program computers so that they gradually improve their performance on a task over time.


Apparently the "are you human" tests play a roll in that


Oh, the Captcha? Yeah, I think it helps refine perception of visual information.


Its also very annoying lol.  I hate those things!


Yes, I agree. Many times it's not clear what you chose wrong. I would like to hear the kind of rap lyrics a machine can produce. Probably could spit mad fire yo.


A machine laying down some rhymes would be interesting to hear...couldn't be much worse than the real thing lol


I am surprised that the cable on the ocean floor for phone signals is only 2.7 in diameter. It must be made of strong materials.


must be, especially since it just lays on the ocean floor.  I wonder what it's made of?


Yikes, I don't like Trump, sorry. But anyways the runner up in presidents back then was made vice president, can you imagine Hillary being vice?


Yup, he's the best. I think he's doing a lot of good.


True, he is getting things done, did you know zimbabwe calls their president, president banana, lol


Sometimes, but only in the snow. And you?


same, I love my boots in the snow. did you know uggs were created by surfers


ha for sure, they are kind of out there. it was to keep their feet warm after leaving the water. Good chatting with you!


Both, but I like dogs a bit more, what about you?


I love dogs, not so much cats. Even google prefers dogs!


I'm indifferent, but they have been up to bad stuff lately.


for sure, all those big companies have been. Do you follow the president much>


Sometimes, I think he's the best one so far for entertainment purposes. Can't imagine it going back to the way it was before him. Real game changer.


For sure, he sucks but it is quite entertaining and said. Good thing he isn't top 3 for richest presidents


I wonder how they feel about the fact that their music may be perceived as being polarizing


I guess they have only heard positive responses on social media, I guess there will always be controversy with anything. Nettles stated it's supposed to be provocative and polarizing and really at the same time it's a bridge.


What that is inspirational and true. Is there any other albums you enjoy? Albums record everything from music to knowledge!


I love all music, and genre's. I have to listen to it everyday. I love the older classic rock albums from back in my day and current music. I would say Aerosmith is a favorite and I love Foo Fighters and Linkin Park, how about you?


I agree. In fact Linkin park's hybrid theory is the best selling album of this century, attesting its quality


Yes, that is an excellent Album, and Aerosmith has made more money from guitar hero than any Album lol


I think the best albums withstand the test of time. Even now, the dark side of the moon is among the best sellers.


Dark side of the Moon was one of my favorite Albums growing up, love Pink Floyd. Really great band.


Another great one was Nwa's straight outta compton. It was the first to reach platinum status without the support of airplay or tour. That is in itself an impressive feat


Wow, that is amazing. Very impressive! I watched Straight Outta Compton the film and it is now one of my favorite movies.


I love music! all genre's. I was reading about Sugarland Reuniting, I like them.


I agree. In any case it was wonderful chatting with you about music.


Are you a fan of Kristian bush and jennifer nettles?


Yes, they are very good and there songs tend to hit on whatever is happening in the world at that time. They like their music to be about truths of today.


Didn't their new songs address gun violence?


Yes, it did. I haven't heard their newest album since they came back after their hiatus but I hear it's good.


Their newest album is called bigger right?


Yes it is, can't wait to hear it. Their Albums are considered country but I think they fall into other genre's as well.


It is nice how they are trying to make a difference through their music and bring into mind topics that most try to avoid


Exactly, their song Tuesday's Broken is on their new album and it is about school shootings. They have great songs.


Wow, that is surprising. What network is Shark Tank played on?


I am not sure.  I did see that Fox News threatened to sue the Simpsons in order to stop them from parodying its famously anti-democrat party agenda


Wow, but thye also discussed the possibility of having a cable channel only airing the Simpsons. Guess they had a love hate relationship with it.


I suppose so.  In 2007 fox news tried to have a conversation version of "The Daily Show"


Interesting. Well, they know what they are doing for the most part as they are more watched than CNN and MSNBC


yes, the show was going to be called "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" it was cancelled though after 13 episodes


Oh, I didn't know know that. Fox News alaso owns IGN.


Yes, and it is available in 86 countries or overseas territories worldwide


I just learned that it was created in part by President Richard Nixon.


Thats interesting.  In 2015 the median viewer age for Fox News was 68 years


Oh yes, I love tv.  I saw that weekend update debuted on the first episode of SNL and is their longest running skit


Sometimes I prefer to listen to music on the radio instead of the news. In Canada, all radios must play 40 percent of the music as Canadian music.


I like to watch comedy as well. I really liked that 70s show. They tried to remake it in the UK verbatim but it was cancelled after ten episodes. Don't know why they didn't just watch the original!


Yeah thaats wierd.  I saw that Daniel Radcliffe voiced the cartoon parady of Twilight


Was that on the Simpsons? There is only one episode where he does not appear and is not mentioned.


yes,  He played Edward Cullen on the Simpsons episode of Treehouse of Horror xxi


And when South Park aired its family guy episode finale the producers got flowers from the Simpsons crew. Not sure why.


Maybe because they are both cartoons that are popular.  I saw that Homer Simpson has held 188 jobs


Wow that is a lot! I only remember the one plant job.


Did you know that most deals made on television show Shark Tank are never enacted


I love to read! I'm a huge fan of James Patterson. Have you heard of him?


I have not! Can you tell me more about him?


He is a popular author that I highly recommend. His best series is Women's Murder Club. Do you speed read?


I tried, but I was never as good as the well-known speed readers like Anne Jones; she can read 4,700 words per minute!


That is incredible! I have become a good reader in my adulthood. I never enjoyed reading when I was young. Now I find it an escape into deep exploration.


Very interesting, reading was one thing that really got me into science and astronomy, which I find really enjoyable to learn about. For example, I know a lot about the sun, which is actually a white star despite its yellow coloring.


That is fascinating! I always assumed it was yellow. The sun also produces enough energy in 1 second to fuel the entire plant for 500,000 years.


That's very cool, did you know that the sun is just 1 billionth of the the size of the biggest star discovered in our galaxy?


That's outstanding! Did you know that a lightning bolt is about 5x's hotter then the sun?


No, that's incredible! You seem like a very interesting person, thanks for all the information today.


I have, I love crepes. There's a great restaurant in St. Petersburg, Florida called the Wooden Rooster that makes fantastic crepes and desserts.


Yes exactly! And if you need lunch Bodega has great sandwiches to offer. Here's the # if you want to order 727-623-0942.


Thanks! And if you're looking for another place to eat, feel free to try out The Reading Room on Central Ave. The head chef, Lauren Macellaro, makes a great quail dish.


I will keep that in mind. Did you ever play baseball growing up?


Yeah, my family was always interested in Baseball, so I know a lot of neat facts. Did you know that baseball is actually quite popular in Japan?


I had no idea! Our family is really into the sport. There is nothing like being at the ballpark! Can you believe a man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball card in his grandfathers house?! What a lucky guy!


For sure! Besides baseball, do you like to read? I am a big fan of Ender's Game.


Do you follow the news? I like the Fox news channel.


That would be akward for the runner ups and probably would rule better than some of our politicians lol.


Yeah, people vote for crazy things sometimes like the people of Austin, Texas, they vote to have their garbage dumps renamed after Fred Durst.


Haha but did they win that vote?  That seems like an extreme action just to insult someone.


Im not sure but it seems like a lot of people supported that action, and I agree seems like an extreme action.


I read something interesting,  FDR was the last pres to speak a foreign language!


I didnt hear about that, could you tell me more?


Oh I see, well returning to the topic did you know that astronauts are actually able to vote even from space!


I did,  that is very considerate of their situation.  Every vote counts!


Hello,  not really.  Do you?  I heard the average age viewer was 68 years old.


Yeah, who know maybe one day an election will actually be defined by one vote.


I do, I like to be kept informed of latests events and Fox News was thinking about having a channel exclusively for The Simpsons and nothing else.


um that would be amazing!  Simpsons has to be one of the most viewed tv shows on Fox,  you would think.  Did you know there is only 1 episode that Bart is not seen or mentioned?


I agree, who hasnt heard of the Simpsons before, I just love that family and I didnt know that, seems like Bart is the one that gives the show essence.


Right!  Bart is almost the main character,  kinda messed up.


It is, well maybe the Simpsons are the reason why Fox is watched more than CNN and MSNBC combined.


probably.  Do you vote?  Did you know in the 80's a chimpanze got 400,000 votes in an election lol


Wow! thats a fun fact worth remembering, I bet it got more votes than some politicians, but I do vote, I think its important to do so.


Yeah its pretty funny,  who wood vote for a monkey lol and what if it won lol


He makes a lot of money. Hard to believe bowlers used to make more than NFL players!


Yes I know right! It seems completely backwards, but that was commonplace in the 60s haha. do you like Alex Smith by the way


I don't know much about him, why, do you?


Yes he was actually really smart. He almost got a master's degree but he was drafted before he could get that, probably better that he went in the NFL though LOL he's definitely going to make more money doing that


That's pretty neat! One of the college QBs thought about quitting football to play video games competitively.


Yep I think I know who you're talking about. Are you talking about Baker Mayfield? He was really good at Halo 3 actually


Yup. He says he can beat anyone at the university at that game!


I used to play that game back in the day, I would have tried to beat him LOL, did you hear about how the circular huddle was invented by the way?


Yep he was deaf. He would use everyone's bodies in a circle to cover up the other team from seeing what he was signing. I think it's very genius, and it's cool that it works for players who are hearing as well


Yes I watch football from time to time. I think it's ok. I do think that it's a little bit boring though, what about you?


I agree. The highest scoring game ever was 222 to Zero! I feel like that would get boring with the one team scoring over and over again.


I know right! It's crazy that the score could get that high. I can't believe Cumberland lost that badly, all of their fans must have felt horrible that day LOL


Seriously! It was way back in 1916, but I bet people talked about it for a long time afterwards.


What do you think about ESPN winning a Emmy for the yellow line invention? You know, the one that shows first downs on TV. I think that's actually really good invention, but I don't know about winning an Emmy for it


I didn't realize they gave Emmy's for such things but I agree it's a great invention! There are so many different kinds of football, it depends where you're located.


Yep I agree with you on that. Have a favorite quarterback by the way?


I was impressed by Nick Foles last year! Apparently there is only one left handed quarterback


Yes you're right! Kellen Moore is the only one who is Left-Handed. I do like Tom Brady a lot. He's definitely a right-handed man LOL


Even with $700k per episode, he would struggle to pay of his student loans. LOL


So true! They should create a drama about that


Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas any more. His beilef system prevents him from playing in movies that don't project positivity. I think this is strange, because dramas can be positive.


Drama is an important part of life. I think Jim should change his mind.


Maybe if he listens to a fee of the thousands of episodes of classic radio drama for free. He can find something he likes


I wonder if anyone listens to those episode. People that age probably don't use computers as much.


Hundreds, if not thousands of years! They lived before there were area codes! Well, I enjoyed chatting with you!


Great thanks. I am a huge sneaker head. what about you?


212 is new yorks area code because its the fastest way to dial on a rotary


I don't really know much about shoes. It's funny that 5,000 year old shoes perform better than modern shoes.


It is! which is crazy some of the cost now-a-days. You think they would have better quality


Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week. I wonder how they would do in the 5,000 year-old shoes.


I wonder if you could put a price on shoes that can last 5000 years


Certainly someone could manufacture a line of knockoffs. Stephon marbury promoted a line of shoes that retailed at $15. Maybe he could help.


Yeah but i feel like they would need to use some complex construction. Which raises the price to hundred or even thousands


Maybe Hugh Laurie could afford a pair then. He earns $700k per episode of House.


Thats a lot of money! Wonder if it would be more than if he were a real doctor


Imagine a World Cup in a city that is not yet built!


That is not too surprising.  I think that many people do not understand what and athlete one has to be to win at driving race cars like Stewart did.  It is a real challenge to do it well.


German soccer player mesut ozil donated his eur300,000 world cup victory bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 children in brazil.


Those kinds of actions are wonderful.  I am frustrated that Warren Buffet gives nothing to charity but has a foundation set to distribute money when he is dead.  T Boone Pickens is a billionaire who is giving it away while he is alive.


How about a soccer game with 3 team playing at once.  That would be interesting to watch.


That would be crazy!  Seems confusing too!


I agree.  I once played in a highschool football game where each team played for 10 minutes, but against two different teams for 5 minutes each with a total of 12 teams involved.  It was to show off the teams in a city before the season began.


Oh wow,  thats cool.  Also sounds confusing though lol


It was peculiar.  When the clock ran out on one team, you might have to go in and defend 4th and one on your one yard line.


Interesting.  I just learned There are no net economic gains for the countries that have played host to the olympics or the world cup


Yeah I just read that,  that would be kinda cool.  The whole city to yourself!  The hungary national football team only had one defeat between 1950 and 1956, and that was the world cup final.


That does not surprise me.  The host country has to build a lot of facilities.  I thing I will be going now.  Nice talking with you.


I think that Hungary had little more to do than practice.  They were under the thumb of the Soviet Union in those days.  Our US women do better than our men in this sport.


Good to know! The american team has never placed below third place in the world cup since women's world cup started in 1991


Hope Solo was a real hero as goal keeper for about 3 world cup competitions.  Soccer fans go crazy in some countries.


Did you know Soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined.


That is amazing.  I know that the value of some UK soccer teams is higher than the value of the NY Yankees.


I have a friend who is British and he was crushed when France beat them in 2018 for the world cup championship held in Russia.


Well yeah Im sure Britain and france are very competitive on many levels not just sports lol Jon stewart was a skilled soccer player in college and represented the us at the pan american maccabi games in brazil in 1983.


Hi. I watched the Trump - KIm summit on youtube, it was interesting.


Zuck's a character. He wants to be potus. But i can't see him like a fdr, etc


Well as popular as his creation Facebook is, it sure hasn't beat YouTube. YouTube is the second largest search engine on the net!


Yeah, but half the searches are for "did myspace really reject an offer to buy facebook for 75m?"


I guess that's true, Facebook is searched for a lot. But Netflix and YouTube combined make up half the peak of internet traffic in North America alone!


wow.  they must like the lack of a dislike button in germany


That's true I bet they didn't have the same problems we had with YouTube! Gangnam style had so many views YouTube had to upgrade their equipment just for it!


I wonder if they had to downgrade after Justin's Baby


Nope! But I'll tell you what got an upgrade! Eve-Online got a world summit award for e-content! I didn't even think they'd give awards to an online game there!


Yeah. I can't imagine churchill and fdr gaming it up. maybe stalin., but not those 2.


Well I'll tell you would always be there to game it up, Spain. They have a permanent seat but can't officially join due to their policies. Seems funny.


No way! Those things can be crazy! I heard when Putin shook the Canadian prime minister's hand, the latter told him he needed to get out of Ukraine as he was doing it!


You too! Hope you find more exciting news out there!


I heard Putin tried to bug delegates by giving them thumb chargers with viruses.


Insane. I heard an Australian satire group successfully impersonated their way into the apec of the world leaders' summit! They were only caught when one of them stepped out of the car dressed as Osama Bin Laden!


OMG. OBL is more disliked than even Justin Beiber's "baby", at least as far as youtube viewers go.


I heard in a German state it's illegal to even "like" anything on Facebook!


Does anyone even like anything about Facebook? I going to just unfriend everyone and head over to BK's for a free whopper.


Apparently Iceland does! They are rewriting their constitution via Facebook! And allowing the public to give their input on it.


That's whack.  They should just do it on youtube, or create their own youtube like cops did with bluetube


I don't know if Mark Zuckerburg would like blue-tube, he made Facebook blue specifically because of his colorblindness. And to think I thought it was just because it looked nice!


Good morning. Do you watch the Oscars? I'm still surprised that Walt Disney has the record for most won by a man.


Oh, the way you spoke of Daniel Day Lewis, I was under the impression that you were a fan of his. As an art student, I find it impressive that George Stanley was the sculpter.


54 colors was all that Nintendo could display when it came out


In japan it was I dont remember when it was discontinued in the US


I don't know anything about it, as I'm not a fan of the platform. I am a Simpson's fan, and was surprised to learn that there is one episode where there are no signs of Bart.


i am a fan of the Simpsons also, talking about television, Ringo starr narrated Thomas the tank engine at least 52 times


I thought it was funny that the Simpson's crew sent the producers of South Park flowers for the Family Guy episode.


interesting, there have been a lot of pokemon episodes made, over 750 total


I know zero about Pokemon, and don't get the fascination with it. My favorite narrator of Thomas the Tank is Alec Baldwin.


That 70's show was cancelled in the UK after only 10 episodes


interesting, the movie Blazing saddles has been nominated for 3 Oscars


I can understand why. I don't think that would work outside of American markets.


I can understand that, it was called 'days like these' , maybe that was a factor also


I've never seen it, have you? I think it's hilarious that Ronald Reagan once was turned down for a role, because he didn't look presidential enough. I bet a casting agent was embarrassed his entire time in office.


i would agree, the Oscars themselves were nominated in 2013 for 9 emmys


That sounds like a weird thing to do. Did they win any? It's surprising that Eminem has more than Johnny Depp.


and he has more then Decaprio, Will Smith and Bill Murray to name a few.


That's unreal. I have only watched one, that was last year when Jimmy Kimmel was the host.


Winning best actor is an accomplishment, but winning 3 times like Daniel day-lewis is amazing.


I don't even know who he is, what was he in?


I dont know either, lets talk about entertainment next, Caesar noted in Britain that people bred chickens for entertainment not food


Do you ever read poetry? I guess it was started by the ancient Greeks


No I didn't know that. I think they started back in 1929 right? That's a long time


Indeed. They started in 1929 at a private dinner hosted by Douglas Fairbanks. Back then they were at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, but more recently they have been at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Do you enjoy other awards shows?


No I don't really watch award shows, for instance I don't watch the Grammys or Golden Globes or anything like that, but I do like movies a lot, I really love Daniel Day-Lewis I'm glad that he has three academy awards for best actor


He does. That is impressive. Did you know the Oscars have been nominated for Emmys before? In 2013, the Oscars were nominated for 9 Emmys. I like the Emmys because I like watching television.


That is interesting how the Oscars were nominated for an emmy LOL. Have you ever seen the movie Blazing Saddles by the way


I haven't seen Blazing Saddles. I more often watch television. Especially the Simpsons! I love Bart Simpson, and there is only one episode of the Simpsons where Bart does not appear, and is not mentioned!


Yeah Blazing Saddles is great. They would never make another movie like that again because it would be too expensive, but it did get nominated for 3 Oscars


Wow. Three oscars is pretty good, but nowhere near Walt Disney's 22 Oscars. He still holds the records for most Oscars won by a man!


That is super impressive! I don't think it will ever be topped, what is crazy though is that Eminem has more Awards than Bill Murray Leonardo Dicaprio and Johnny Depp LOL how is that possible


I never would have picked Eminem to have the most out of that group! I should probably get going though. I have to catch up on my favorite show: Pokemon! There are over 750 episodes of it!


I like poetry. I think it's the rhythmic qualities of language typically in poems that interests me. It does have a very long history, dating all the way back to prehistoric time.


I love Pokemon! I also love South Park, I'm so happy they were making fun of Family Guy that's amazing


Yep that makes sense, it's interesting that the term poetry was taken from the Greek word for poesis though, that means making


Is that right? Interesting. Africa has a rich poetry history, as well. There was hunting poetry, and then panegyric and elegiac court poetry throughout empires of the Nile, Niger and Volta river valleys.


Why what seems like poetry goes back a long time. Do you know about the Javanese alphabet? When you speak it in order it actually forms a poem


Is that so? I never knew that. There's a poem that when read normally is depressing, but when read backwards is inspiring. There's so much depth in poetry.


Yes I need to check out that poem. Did you watch the Academy Awards this year by the way?


I didn't watch the Academy Awards this year. I did watch for their 90th Anniversary show, which was held on March 4, 2018. Do you like the Academy Awards?


I think they're ok, I think they're so political now though, it's amazing that they give out a set of 24 Awards though that does take a long time


Yes. A total of 3,072 Oscars were given out through the 90th. That's a lot! Did you know it's the oldest worldwide entertainment awards ceremony?


Yes that is actually a good point. Did you ever see the show 3rd Rock from the Sun?


I tried to watch it several times, but wasn't able to find the comedy in it, now I don't watch it, what about you?


I watched a few episodes and it is strange to me that it beat Friends and other to the Golden Globes


Yes, I don't care that much about Friends either. Did you know there are over 750 episodes of pokemon?


Well, they have been around for 16 years so that would make sense but that is still a lot


I didn't realize pokemon been around that long. I am more familiar with the pokemon games.


Yeah apparently they have. Do you watch shows or movies on Netflix?


I mostly watched movies when I watch netflix. Are you a subscriber of netflix, I join netflix back and forth, sometime I watch Amazon prime.


Yes I am a user too, so convenient. To bad Blockbuster lost the opportunity to buy it back then.


Yes they didn't know what they missed out on. Netflix has 137 million subscribers worldwide, wow.


Yes I like comedies, but I like action movies more, what about you?


That is a whole lot, they have built a billion dollar empire. It was nice chatting with you


Yes I like comedies too. Did you ever see Kung Fu Hustle?


Yes, I like it. what would be one of your most comedy movie you have seen? Is it Kung Fu Hustle?


For me it is not but apparently Bill Murray thinks that is is the best comedy of modern age


I like the old movie that Bill murray and Dan Aykroyd, I think the name of the movie was soul man, that was some years ago.


Cool, I do not think I have seen it. Have you seen the Green Lantern?


Yes, I like action hero movies, I glad the green lantern was a comedy movie, I would had been disappointed.


Yeah me too and I somehow cannot picture Jack Black in the leasd role


I wasn't familiar with the actor or the name, so for me it was ok, I always wonder why the same actors play in so many movies when they are so well known. I like to see new actors.


Did you know that on April 18 1930, The BBC played only piano music because there was no news to report.


I would think that is the only possible idea unless we get mystical.


Yes, i guess it is not appropriate to get mystical during one of these chats. The mountain top piano is not supernatural. it is super musical.


LOL. You are funny. I wonder if they played a tune on the piano or was it frozen?


I bet it was out of tune. they played chopsticks but decided not to post it on YouTube.


LOL. Do you think it was the piano in the Hindenburg and they pushed it out because it weighed too much.


No, that piano was a classic. plus it went down with the hindenburg. that was a piano tragedy.


I wonder if they were playing it as it went down like they played music when the Titanic sunk?


There was probably some brave soul playing a rendition of Ring of Fire to underscore the irony.


LOL. That would be ironic. It has been fun chatting with you. Hope you have a good evening.


It has been fun chatting. Have a good weekend


hi how are you? Yes, the Beeb was good about the piano music. they had no rock to play at the time so they went with the square music.


I like piano music. i like the piano. i cannot play but i like it.


I can't play either. I use to try but never got the hang of it.


I have watched people play. it is an old instrument, centuries old, and beautifully made. I figure that everyone should study the piano. it is a useful instrument to learn.


In 2006 a group of climbers found a piano on Britain's highest mountain. I wonder how it got there?


It probably flew up there and got stuck. pianos can fly, but if they run out of fuel, there is not much you can do.


Yeah, i guess i am. the chat get to be a bit long and repetitive so i have to look for new ideas. Helicopter?


Hello there! have you been hearing the news about diversity going around?


The youth age was so silly, but fun for the most part. Anyways going back to what we were talking about. Do you think there should be a vote for same sex marriage by the citizens?


I'm not sure if there should be a vote.  I feel like it's a right, no matter what the majority rules.  And so many people don't take it seriously.  Like the people of Austin voting to rename their garbage dump after Fred Durst. (funny though. LOL)


SO like an addition to the bill of rights? People make it too personal. Its just complicated. But then again it is used to express an opinion. It's not like when you're in a jury


I'm not even sure it needs the addition to the bill of rights.  Like all marriages, I feel like it's implied to be a natural right.  It's a good thing we didn't decide it the way Iceland is rewriting their constitution on FB, like you mentioned earlier. LOL


I know it has to do with their religious beliefs but by inciting hate "you reap what you sow"


Yes, like the baker in CO who refused to bake the same sex wedding cake.


Which i dont think it's wrong honestly. Every business should have the right to refuse business to whomever they choose. I don't like the way the news made them come out as the bad guys though. Just like the magazine from australia, Any business can be subject to online abuse for their beliefs. it can kill a business


I agree. Everyone has their own rights, whether or not we agree with them is our business.  I do. That doesn't mean the baker has too. White Magazine was destroyed.


It is so bad in the US i think because the case with the baker was taken all the way up to the Supreme court. Which means the state wasn't even able to deal with it.


Yes. State's rights are being trampled.  Maybe it's because it's still a relatively new form of government?  Even in the UK, not all men had the vote until 100 years ago.


Oh yes. But I worry about us being too homogonistic.  Like White Magazine in Australia.  I do not agree with their priciples, but I feel like they should not be abused for them.


I guess it is still a work in progress even in other countries. Like how the Indian government sets up a polling booth in a forest full of lions for a single voter.


I am really curious to hear more about that.  I wonder what that constituent think of that? Probably wishes they could vote on Facebook. LOL


Just imagine Facebook, a company valued at $104b in 2012, to be the new way to vote. for anything!


It's just so weird that we live in a time where we fear the most about being judged. What people do shouldn't be our business if it's not directly affecting us.


Exactly!  I do not like people being in my business.  I mean, even Ivey League schools are working with Facebook now.


Yes I have heard of that also happening. Facebook is a big thing now. It's so interesting how one web page can impact everyone. Like how Iceland is rewriting their constitution through there.


It's surreal.  Burger King had that promotion where you unfriend 10 people and get a free Whooper.  Who does that to their friends for a cheap, overcooked burger?


Everyone has their tastes. Plus you can always add them back! I think the real disappointment was when MySpace turned down the offer to buy facebook.


Yeah. That was a big Whoops! LOL. I think MySpace does mostly music now.  I listened to the Batman Begins soundtrack there.  I noticed, for the first time, that each track is named for a genus or family of bat!


I went back to it a few years ago and yes its changed so much. I never browsed the new website but whenever i did have the old web page and it was matrix themed. I even included the soundtrack accompanied by clips of the film!


Matrix themed!  That is awesome!  Mine wasn't special.  But my niece had the soundtrack to Jaws play during her wedding, and so she had it on her MySpace too.  It has a video clip of Speilberg playing the clarinet for the soundtrack.


That's crazy! Although it makes sense considering their overall dominance, I think they've been in more than 60% of all finals right?


That is right and there is a very interesting match that occurred in 1939, do you know why it is so interesting?


No I haven't heard of it! I don't follow cricket a whole lot, but what happened?


Well, this was a match between England and S. africa and lasted fourteen days, i can not imagine how it was!


Oh my goodness, I would've dropped from exhaustion long before that, I wonder how many people had been dismissed from the game by the end of it! That has to have been the longest game ever.


Well, talking about records, there is one that I would like to copy. It is a travel record by the king Kalakaua, who was the first king to travel around the world


Ahah that's certainly some ambition you have, I want to travel a lot but I found out Japan may not be the best place for me, to go across the country it costs over $300 just in tolls!


That is a lot! I would do it just once because i agree, it is a lot of money. I would be a different story in Mackinac island, where there are only horse drawn carriages


Wow that would certainly take a long time. I can't imagine what would take longer, that or traveling in Iceland, where most people without cars have to use domestic flights to travel between towns.


That is the beauty of it, each place is completely different! Even there is  a commuter bus in the making that would travel at 160 mph!


I bet that's useful especially when you don't have enough room for horse carriages everywhere! Feels like Mackinac Island should definitely withdraw their ban on motorized vehicles and modernize.


Well It was nice talking to you! have a good one!


Well the game is very similar to baseball! You score runs by hitting the ball bowled towards you, and the other team tries to catch the ball to get you out!


I know a little bit, like the fact that the game is played by two teams and each one has 11 players


Yeah there's definitely some differences, also to my knowledge there isn't a wicket in baseball, and a lot more field to cover than 22 yards.


Yes, cricket has a small field. I found there is an indian player whose name is Napoleon einstein


That's a strange name for sure haha, I wonder if he ever got bullied for it in the sport. I know the best player in cricket's history had nasty tactics against him, leading to the other teams facing consequences


And the consequences went far beyond, there were even diplomatic consequences!! for England and Australia


At least karma wins out in the end, the best teams aren't always the ones that play it most. There was an all US team from Compton that won the British Cup twice.


Australia has been so important in cricket, I learned they had won 45% of all cricket cups


Personally, I find edna hilarious. She is the costume designer


I heard Edna was voiced by the director Brad Bird, I guess he didn't like the people who auditioned for her


Are you into Comedy films at all? I hear Kung Fu hustle is really funny, Bill Murray called it a "supreme achievement"


With that I agree. It is an amazing movie that is a classic


Speaking of classics did you know 3rd Rock from the Sun beat out Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier for best comedy series at the 1997 Golden Globes?


Really? I would feel at least friends should be ranked higher


I guess the 1997 season of 3rd Rock from the Sun must have been really good if they beat all those legendary shows


I know right? In any case, thanks for taking the time to chat.


Yea I think I'm gonna go play some NES even though it can display 54 colors


Yea, I heard the Incredibles 2 was good and Brad Bird did a great job writing and directing it


That sounds fun. The classics are always nice. Thanks for chatting.


Did you like the original or sequel more?


I haven't seen any of them yet, even though the original Incredibles came out all the way back in 2004


Usually I don't like sequels, but I liked Incredibles 2's premise of restoring public's trust in heroes


The Incredibles 2 setting in the 1960s also sounds really interesting


Did you know there was also a sequel to the incredibles in the form of a video game?


Yea, The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, I wonder it the game received good reviews too


Is there any character you are interested in despite not having seen it?


I know Samuel L. Jackson voices a character, I'm sure his character is pretty cool and probably funny


Did you happen to watch the NFL Pro Bowl?


True.  I would be pretty upset if I had to pay for a meal that I was unable to finish because I had to leave midway.  What are your thoughts of tech in NFL football.  They have tracking in players shoulder pads and in the balls as well?


I think the advancements in tech are good for the game, especially some of the safety aspects.


I like the tracking chips in the football that reports velocity, rotation, speed, and location.  I think that data could be useful for training / feedback of quarterbacks.  Did you know Kellan Moore is the only left-handed QB in the NFL.  Do you think being left-handed QB has any advantages?


I didn't know that, I figure there would be more than one at least.  And, I'm not sure, I wonder how many left handed QB's have ever won a super bowl?


I do not know.  I cannot see any advantage like in baseball where left-handed is advantageous for the first base player.  I just learned that the NFL had a deaf quarterback, Paul D. Hubbard.  He started the circular huddle to shield his hand signals.  Its always refreshing to here someone excel against the odds.


Yeah Hubbard was awesome, I think he was one of the most interesting players to have ever played.


Are you much into video games, like playing Nintendo football?


I do like video games, but don't play as much as I used to, I would play Tecmo Super Bowl on Nintendo growing up.  How about you?


I grew up in a rural area about 40 miles from a sizable city.  So our entertainment was more live action, such as riding, roping, hunting, and fishing.  And, chasing the chicken destine to be supper.  Did you know that when Caesar visited Britain, he found the Brits bred chickens for entertainment, not food?  What kind of entertainment?


That sounds like an awesome childhood. And that is really weird I would have no idea the entertainment value except maybe it would be funny to watch.


Hello there, I didn't watch this year's but I have in the past.  How about you?


I hope that was for entertainment and not cock fighting which is thankfully illegal in the States.  What people do for entertainment can vary so much from live arts to recorded performances and from solo to group activities.  And how people get into entertainment can be strange.  Did you know Bill Nye "The Science Guy" got his break winning a Steve Martin look-a-like contest?


That is very true, and no I never heard that, but I'm sure glad he did!  It was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


I did not.  But I just found out that one of the highlights of the game was not with the NFL players but their offspring.  Specifically, Drew Brees sons.  Did you happen to hear / read anything about it?


I heard the cameras caught them playing around and the oldest son put a hard tackle on one of his other brothers right?


Seems like.  Supposedly it spilled onto the field and got caught on camera.  That and the stern talking to from dad, NFL Saints QB Drew Brees.  Its not too often normal life spills into professional sporting events or live TV!


I think that is really funny, I'm glad the cameras were able to catch that!


True.  Its refreshing from some of the player antics!  What do you think of the NFL having a female referee officiate playoff games.  Personally, I glad to see the break-thru.  Do you think we will ever see the same with a female NFL player?


I agree, and I think it would be really cool if a female player did make it, I think it would open the doors to females being able to play in all sorts of leagues.


I would hope that it would force my NO Saints to kill the arcane rule that prohibits their cheerleaders for eating in any restaurant when NFL players are their first.  That is so outdated!


I couldn't agree more, so outdated!  The fact that they are required to leave if a player walks in is so stupid.


Hey there what do you think about planets? I know that I love planet Earth LOL


Yes I believe it. I used to date a ballerina and she always had messed up feet haha. Like her toes Abby all beaten up, so I can believe that they would go through shoes quickly


Ouch, really.  I see basketball player stephon marbury promoted a line of $15 shoes but wasnt paid to endorse them


That's weird. Do you know who that even is by the way? I'm not sure who's Stephon Marbury is. but anyway, next time I have stinky feet, I'll put some dry tea bags in my shoes LOL I guess that will fix it


Basketball player. Shoes can smell terrible.. my wife doesnt wear socks often and hers are terrible.


Haha I can believe it! Well tell her to put some dry tea in there LOL. I want to try out the 5000 year olds that perform better than current shoes, I wonder how they were made


Probaby leather or animal hide, and thick considering how much they would need to walk or ride on horseback


That's a good point. They definitely didn't have plastic or anything like that. do you follow basketball at all?


Honestly, not really. Apparently Kareem abdul jabbar had the dunk banned in college basketball because hwe as so dominant


That's awesome! And yeah I don't watch it much myself. But I do know that the US Supreme Court even has a basketball court on it. It's on the very top floor


I wonder who plays there, considering their age?


I wish Pluto were still considered a planet. I miss that ball of ice!


Haha I know right. I just don't see any of them playing basketball, even to settle a court case. They could fall and break a hip!


Haha I agree with you! I also have a soft spot for the planet Venus, apparently it doesn't tilt and has no Seasons, what a bummer LOL


I live in the upper midwest and wouldnt mind a stable climate! Which planet is your favorite?


Haha well I like planet Earth. But I also like the planet where it rains glass LOL that seems pretty cool although I wouldn't like to visit it myself, what about you?


I would say Uranus, the view with a sideways orbit might be interesting.


Haha yes I could see that, the name always makes me laugh LOL. I wish we could visit the planet that they think life exists on, the only problem is it's 455 light years away


Just a bit of travel! What's your favorite shoe brand?


Well I wear a pair of Nikes that is super comfortable and I've had for a while, what about you?


I like new Balance. Says here that professional ballet dancers wear out 4 pairs of shoes a week


Nice, I don't have one. Did you know that dogs have 12 different blood types though?


Did not know that. The giant lizards in Florida were eating pets and had people fearful for safety of children in the neighborhood.


Fish are OK. Sport fishing is very exciting. Have you ever been out to catch game fish?


No, I haven't. Did you know there is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.


They are also 98% water and prone to dry up.


That is interesting. What about seahorses, do you like those?


Strange name, not able to ride. They have an exterior skeleton I believe.


Yeah, that is pretty cool right? I used to have a pet seahorse. Well, nice chatting with you.


We have explored some interesting nature topics. Good talking with you.


Jurassic Park was challenging and a horror for the threat of being attacked by predator creatures.


Interesting, is that the movie with Jeff Goldblum?


Yes it was, and it was a horror to view, very suspenseful.


Hmmm, see I wouldn't classify that as a horror movie. Doesn't it have that character Newman in it from Seinfeld?


Horror is anything that has you on the edge of your seat and creates a sense of fear about something you have no control over. Real life the giant lizards roaming the neighbors in Florida.


I sure do. I have a mixed chiuaha and Yorkie.


But, did you know that an lighting bolt is about 5x hotter than the sun?


Yes it does.  Did you know that on July 11, 2011 Neptune made its first full orbit since it was discovered in 1846?


Must be a long ways away! I also see that helium is the only element to have been discovered on the sun before earth.
