Thanks, doing well. Yes, FI sounds incredible and I can't wait for next Saturday. Oddly enough, I kinda "missed" Lateralus when it came out, so I've dedicated the days leading up to the release to re-acquainting myself with the album. And I've immediately had the title track become my favorite Tool song at this point. Between the lyrics and the math and the intensity it's really the best song they've done to date, IMO. The last 2 minutes starting around 7:20 are really as good as it gets, for me. https://youtu.be/2uoG8yy5s78

Wow, not much buzz about the first new Tool in 13 years? #Sadface

Always a good Christmas when you get some gear! Merry Christmas, all!

Here’s a few I’ve been bumping constantly: Huncho Jack Jack Huncho & Quavo Huncho are my 2 most recent discoveries, as well as Kevin Gates’ newest Luca Brasi 3.

This is the essence of why I'm such a fan of commercials. Its like a little miniature movie with the absolute perfect choice of soundtrack!

Nice work. I'll venture a guess that much of the damage was on the leg?

Took it in one afternoon, promised it the next evening, but ended up meeting the following day. But it was completed over an initial 24 hour period, between working my regular job and sleeping, lol.

I'm guessing maybe early to mid 50s, but the customer didn't mention, and I didn't ask.

Photo restoration I did this week.

LOL

This wild-ass little dog we have trips me out daily!

Yes! My wife and I went Sunday, and it was so powerful. Denzell can usually be counted on to deliver. Awesome movie.

Sam - Forum looks great, but one issue is the size of the YouTube embeds. They're so large, they seem to take forever to load a page in threads that are video-embed-heavy, like the Favorite Movie Scene thread. Almost couldn't get back off the page as it took so long to load the numerous video embeds. Don't know if display size has an effect, but something makes those threads REALLY laggy. Maybe if the display size was reduced it would help speed up loading. Or not - I'm certainly no expert. Just reporting what I've observed, LOL. Thanks!

OK, so I heard about this movie as a quirky, offbeat comedy. The description referred to it as a dark comedy. Let's just say it's very heavy on the dark, with bits of comedy throughout. Seriously, this was an incredibly depressing movie laced with cringe-inducing, uncomfortable situations. When you think of the most uncomfortable scenes you can imagine with guys like Zach Galifianakis or Ben Stiller, and multiply it exponentially, you'll have a glimpse of what this movie is like. At a number of points I wanted to abandon it, but the farther I went, the more I figured I needed to see where this was going. And it was a little difficult to follow the progression of the movie, how the dog ended up in the various situations. The ending was so shocking that it forced laughter out of me while simultaneously making me feel guilty for laughing. So if you like bizarre stories with more than a little black - and I mean very black - humor, this is it. EDITED FOR HUMOROUS ANECDOTE: The movie opens with a close-up of the wiener dog filling the entire screen. Watching on my brother's 60" 4K curved screen, the detail was amazing. So amazing, in fact, that his Siberian Husky began trying to sniff the wiener dog's butt on the TV, following it as it moved. It was LOL-worthy.

Thank you so much. It's been a blur, but we're making it.

I'm pretty certain. He had been through a lot of problems before, but seemed to be doing well and appeared happy by all accounts. We viewed his body today and tomorrow he'll be cremated. My brother said they didn't want a particular specific place where Sean was (I.e., a burial plot), but rather spread part of his ashes at Key West and part in the mountains, 2 places he loved. That's very thoughtful, and appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, CP. Very much appreciated. Life turns on a dime.

Thanks so much, I sincerely appreciate your and everyone's kind words. It truly is - as they say - a parent's worst nightmare. Fortunately we are all experiencing some incredible bonding, as well, so even in the depths of grief there's an amazing degree of positive energy that helps to sustain us. So while I'm very sad at the loss of this wonderful young man, I still grateful for the love the rest of our family is experiencing. This is Sean the last time we were together back in July with my son Devin.

Much appreciated, Steve. Thank you.

I'd like to thank each and every one of y'all for your kind words. It is still so surreal to realize what has happened. I'm so very thankful for the opportunity to be here with and for my brother and his family. Thank you all.

Thanks Sean - wow - it means a lot. It's been a rough day, but the least I can do is be here for my brother and his family. This is even tougher than I imagined, every person that comes by to offer their support results in a new wave of tears and grief - it's physically exhausting. But again, if my brother is muddling through it all, the least I can do is be here with him. Thanks again, it means a lot.

Rest In Peace to my 24 year-old nephew Sean, of an overdose. On my way to be with my brother and his family at this terribly difficult time.

Kinda. The head wounds are pretty standard every year. LOL Danke! We had a good time. LOL, that's me!

This year, I realized my usual grievous head wounds would work perfectly with the Creepy Clown look. And I was quite satisfied with the results!

Unquestionable the funniest GEICO commercial I've seen in recent memory.
