RIP to Mike Bossy, hockey great with the NY Islanders. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/33742790/mike-bossy-four-stanley-cup-champion-new-york-islanders-dies-65 As a hockey fan, he was doing some things that Wayne Gretzky did a bit later later, but I think outside hockey he was much less known. A legend, and from all accounts a great person. And...fuck cancer.....!

Very Happy Birthday!!

^^ Very cool....but in one ad/article about the reunion/tour, they had a picture with Eno in it. THAT would have been fucking incredible!

I listened to "Think Of Me" first, as it started I think "This has a very nice Shawn Colvin voice and taste...." Then came the chorus 😄 Still quite good

Done....read up on it a bit, nice cause!

Hope it's a happy (and invasion-free) birthday!!

Wow, incredible story.....RIP to your uncle, may he truly rest in peace now! Wishing you and your family some peace as well, give or take the asshole uncle....

My brother (works in the liquor industry) says he has an extra Ardbeg baseball hat - need to remind him to get it for me! I would wear that over my usual sports hat (Boston Bruins hockey). Somewhat related: one of my best friends is from the UK originally, and loves Marmite. I found this video and he loved it!

Karen and I just found out Ghosts (US version) is continuing.... Fun show, just watched the latest episode....we had binged the first (I think) 14 or 15 a couple months ago.

^^^ That's so bad but I chuckle each time I look at it....

Needs more coconut audio devices.....

Very sad that people die so young, especially if there are drugs involved....very sorry to hear Dan....!

Very Happy Birthday!!!

Replied in another thread. Just read that Jada has a medical condition that causes hair loss, and has been public about it. So I think Will Smith still overreacted, but the joke-writer is a complete douche as well....and I'd have to assume Chris Rock knew about that, and even HE would have tempered or not done the joke. In other words, Steve is most likely correct....

Condolences Bryan.....people with genuinely good humor are wonderful!

^^^ Nothing will beat Voltron-level! 😄 BTW, one additional funny point about my name: when I was looking to get the samost.com domain rights, I got notice it was already in use. My first thought was a cousin of mine in NJ, he was very "internet aware" at the time, and I thought he may have reserved it. But no....samost.com was used for a hotel chain in China!! They've since given it up, and I claimed it; but that was a crazy find. And now, samost.com.cn is for the "Samost Optoelectronics Technology Co Ltd" Has me curious if there is any connection....

Me 3.....my last name, Samost, is quite unique. I have been called Samos (and there is a cabinet-maker family near me with that name), or Samoset like the Native American Tribe. When we first moved in our neighborhood, someone told me they were excited because they (didn't fully catch my name and) thought I may be related to John Stamos 😊 On the other hand, I love having this unique of a name. Pretty sure that anyone with that last name in the USA is a blood or marriage relative.

Nice Nate! So does that make Andrew Mr. DIY'er Jr.? 😊

Happy Birthday Al!

I hardly ever post here, but I just had an awesome dinner out with Karen. We went to a place called the Copper Door in Salem, NH, and I had their "Bourbon Bacon Beef Tips." So fucking tender, flavorful, and wrapped in bacon. The bourbon sauce was outstanding. As we got our check, I told the waitress, "This was fucking awesome...." She laughed, and whispered to me "You should try the fucking Shepherd's Pie!" It was a fuck-fest (verbally) the rest of the night with her, lots of chuckles. Her final wish to me was "Drive fucking safe...." @n_maher Have you been to this restaurant? There's one in Plaistow as well apparently.... Wish I had thought to take a picture....

I was more a wrestling fan of the 70's, but had heard of Scott Hall/Razor Ramon....very sad, RIP.....

Very Happy Birthday!

RIP to Charles Entenmann, baked goods legend; but interesting read regarding some other things he did... https://www.newsday.com/long-island/obituaries/charles-entenmann-funeral-bakery-legacy-1.50531126 92 years old, and a good life I'd say....

I wouldn't necessarily boycott local Stoli. It's actually owned by a Russian who had left Russia (forced out?) when Putin gained power.... Most of the world's source of Stoli is produced out of Latvia. That said....there are better vodka's out there, and Tito's is a good choice. Also agree on the "look East" comment....

Just started that as well Steve....two episodes in and I like it! Can't remember if I read the book, though; I've read a bunch of Karin Slaughter in the long past.
