I was just always a Morbo guy.

I was just always a Morbo guy.

Definitely morbo and hypno toad.

One of my proudest moments at work years ago was streaming hypnotoad on all the overhead TVs we had hanging in our department. My boss wasn?t pleased. But totally worth it.

All glory to the Hypnotoad.

(The Everybody Loves Hypnotoad extra on one of the DVD sets was amazing)

Now with more blackjack and more hookers!

They've awarded him the title of Zinc Saucier, which comes with double the prize money.

That's like watching the the Leafs defence.  They are trying really hard, but they just can't seem to get it right.

Hello there

 

[Joe S.]

I just lost my mind watching that. I can?t wait.

 

[Bill_Berg]

I haven't been this excited about a Star Wars show since The Phantom Menance. 

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

I'll be honest, a little bit of pee did come out watching that.

 

[Joe S.]

I?m not going to lie, I had some tears.

 

[Bullfrog]

Very excited. My wife is getting antsy.

Luckily, I have season 5 of The Last Kingdom to watch! <came out today>
Though, if I'm being honest, I'll probably just binge-watch the whole thing today and tomorrow.

 

[L K]

Was hoping for more Darth Maul as I liked the stories they did with him outside of Phantom Menace.  I'm down for Inquisitors though.

 

[rdowdall]

Only a master of evil Darth.

 

[Bender]

Looks like I'll be tied up for a while with the release of new Last Kingdom and Drive to Survive seasons [emoji846]

 

[Bullfrog]

Yep, I've been waiting desperately for the new Last Kingdom season. But then I started watching Vikings again (I hadn't watched the 5th and 6th seasons). 10 more episodes to go!

And speaking of which, I didn't realize Brent Burns was a character! ha! He certainly looks the part.

I know, wasn't that crazy.  I had to do a double take the first time I saw it.  The only thing that was missing was his character eating a Kit Kat Chunky bar.

If people haven't been watching Winning Time, I'd really recommend they give it a spin. Even if you're not a Basketball fan I think it's a really compelling start to a series that I'd assumed would be hamstrung by some of the casting difficulties(How do you find someone to convincingly play Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) but they really did it. The guy playing Magic Johnson is especially terrific.

Two weird NHL related observations though that I hope aren't spoiler-y:

1. The first episode is about Jerry Buss selling off parts of his real estate empire to raise the 67 million it cost him to buy the Lakers and the Forum from Jack Kent Cooke. At no point in the series do they even mention, and in fact I didn't know about it until I was reading about the sale on Wikipedia, that the 67 million included the Kings.

2. It wasn't until I read the above that I realized that the Kings of that era wore the same colours as the Lakers.
