Did youse win?
Post by: ZiggyStardust on September 23, 2017, 03:35:48 PM
My kid says yes; technically, there's no scorekeeping. But, every inning we went through the entire batting lineup. Our guys have good emerging fielding skills (though many still get a bit paralyzed once they get the ball if there's multiple bases they could throw to...but, they're 7 and 8 years old and newish to anything besides "always throw to first." :D ) and we've got some great hitters. The opposing team, though, was not very skilled--very few good hitters (a lot of questionable form) and ...nascent "baseball sense" in the field.

Did you wear lederhosen?The 'nard's oktoberfest used to be more of a street fair, where the Main Street was shut down and vendors set up booths. Now, it's all been moved to the parking lot of the local brewery. There's the same handful of cheesy carnival rides and sketchy carnies from the town carnival back in July. And, beyond that, a beer garden/pig roast with oompah band. The brewery tapped their Oktoberfest brew today (the husband gave it a thumbs-up).

The town O'fest felt like more of a "downtown" event, which I think was good for the town; now, it feels segregated to the brewery. Plus, sketchy carnies. But, the husband and I demolished a couple dudes at cornhole. :D

Donthey definitely walked the plank.
I'm not sure about the differences between show and book. Most die, but maybe not all.
Post by: ZyggiStarbucks on April 29, 2018, 06:31:17 PM
Me husband went thru a spell of reading nonfiction books about Ant/Arctic expeditions, and I want to say there was one about the Terror/Erebus journey.
There was a good one I recall called The Ice Master about the voyage of the Karluk, which set off looking for an undiscovered Arctic continent in like 1914! It’s amazing how recent some of the seemingly basic knowledge of our planet is. But I can’t imagine signing up for any polar expedition!

Yes, The actual expedition.
There was a lot of stuff in the show about them getting lead poisoning from their food tins, which linked up to the real life story.

There’s no Donthey in the book. Was he a mutineer?
The beast was just a hallucination from the lead in their brains and they actually tore each other apart.
That wasn't the ending, but it could have been!

I’ve wondered all along if there’d be some twist like that.
The show ended fairly unambiguously, the beast existed. But I could see internet TV conspiracy theorists running with this theory.

Shared experience of the terror of being lost and alone and at the mercy of Nature?:D
I mean, it’s no superhero movie, so depth of character is prolly lacking, comparatively ...
I think it would have to double back to the supernatural angle, which would defeat the purpose of the rational twist ending.
Like, maybe there would be some kind of psychic cloud hanging over that area of Greenland/Canada and the lead poisoning opened up a certain part of their mental perception so that they had a shared mental experience. but again, that kind of weakens the twist. May as well just be a real monsta.

You could end with ambiguity, though? Shared delusion or actual monster?

Billy is a c**t now, and I haven't liked them since Zwan, even though Zwan is really uneven, but I love MSOTHS, the song, 9 minutes of stacked guitars.

OK, it's good, but not mind-bendingly blissful
The packaging is just shitty. It looks like something from Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops. Maybe there's a story behind it, I don't know. They could have done better
$8.50 for a 4-pack of tall-boys is a fair bargain, however
Since you asked. :)
