Next week I'm going to Hilton Head Island for a long weekend. Anyone ever been there?

Amazon has 14 Phillip K. Dick novels on sale for $1.99 today. Anyone have recommendations of his novels, I was thinking about picking up one or two of them.

My most quoted movie is probably The Big Lebowski. "Phone's ringing dude" "OVER THE LINE" "Donny you're out of your element" "The ringer must not look empty. It's my dirty undies, the whites." "You see what happens... you see what happens when you f*** a stranger in the ass" "That's a bummer man" "That rug really tied to the room together" "Obviously you're not a golfer" "They peed on your f***ing rug."

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 12:48 PM) Friend of mine had a chocolate lab who had like a sixth sense and could tell when there was bad weather in the forecast. He would LITERALLY lay down In the shower through the duration of the storm, everytime like clockwork. We called it storm watch. Tell ya what though, he was more accurate in predicting a storm than most weather forecasters. Smart dog. Yeah my Kerry Blue definitely starts his routine before the storm starts.

Sorry I didn't see the conversation about the Thundershirts earlier. My two dogs are horrible with thunderstoms, fireworks, loud noises, etc. Our Scottish terrier just goes and runs under one of the beds, but our Kerry Blue Terrier shakes uncontrollably, pants, and will pace all around whatever room you are in and lots of time try and get as close to you as possible. We got him a thundershirt and only saw very minimal improvement, sometimes it works ok on him and other times not so much.

I've been down in the Ozarks for the past 2 weeks and one thing that I have found out is that they love their World Team Tennis. I just have one question ... What the hell is World Team Tennis?

All this Breaking Bad talk has me extremely excited

I'm normally not in the NBA thread, but I had to post this

Here's a fun fact Michael Bowden was on my little league team in North Aurora.

My brother posted this on my Facebook wall the other day. Thought it was relevant to all the Star Wars talk. By the way, totally disagree with it. Prequels better than Originals?

Breaking Bad!

I will agree with all the Terrence Malick stuff being said. The Tree of Life was awful, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Last year I saw all of the nominees, this year I don't know if I want to. I've only seen The Tree of Life, Moneyball, and Warhorse.

Hahaha The Kane County Cougars just posted a picture on Facebook of their booth at the Cubs convention with this caption "Here's a photo from our booth at Cubs Convention! If you look really hard, you can see the Cubs championship trophy sitting on the table."

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) Halfway through WAR HORSE. Brilliant cinematography, a beautiful movie to watch so far. Still doesn't beat SEA BISCUIT or SECRETARIAT, but totally different types of movies there. Halfway through? Get off your damn phone and watch the movie!!

Watched a bootleg copy of the second trailer. This movie is going to be EPIC! "When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die."

Scored passes to see the prologue early from the viral site. Tuesday at 10:30 at the Navy Pier IMAX. SWEET!!!!
