I'm wondering how many of you got into sports or martial arts with swords because of Highlander? Maybe historical reinacting?

I got into fencing (Epee) for several years then Kendo for a short time (I loved Kendo but work got in the way). My love for swords because of Highlander was a major reason for this.

I'd love to hear some stories.

Trump, along with the FIFA President, handed the trophy to Spain. That a-hole then refused to leave the stage for a while. He was in their photo shot as they celebrated. He just couldn't not be the center of attention. God i hate that man!!!

So we all know that the soundtrack for the original movie is amazing. Queen did an absolutely incredible job. It is "Who Wants to Live Forever" that has always stuck out to me. It's been inspirational and calming song since I was a kid (I'm 47). I find it deeply meaningful on many levels. Are any of you also as touched by this song?

Are there any other fans of the original 1975 version of Rollerball?

I love the original movie. Seen it countless times. The one scene I think is too cheesy is the one with Connor and Ramirez on the beach. That whole quickening with the stag. I think it takes away from an otherwise great film. Thoughts?

I bought a 12lb brisket to start smoking Friday. What kind of wood should I use? I'm using an electric smoker.

How long will the meat absorb the smoke? I understand at a certain point it's not really worth using chips. I'm wondering if I should start mid day, smoke until a certain point, then just let it slow cook until the next morning (check on it in the middle of the night). I've done brisket in the oven before with mixed results.

Thanks for the tips and I'll keep you posted!

I'm a wing hawk. I could write a guide to wings in my immediate area. Recently I've been thinking about making a 45 minute drive to the closest Hooters. It's been at least 8 years since I last went. I recall loving the way they fry them and the wings being rather large. But I seem to recall the flavors being rather unremarkable. Are Hooters wings worth a hour drive?

Just so you know my tastes, I love Mango Habanero sauce from BWs and can handle just about anything as far as heat goes.

Thanks for your advice.

I hope this is an OK post. I ran into an old coworker today who left my organization to become a corrections officer at a local jail about a year ago. I asked him how his new job was and he said the money was good and he thought he was doing an ok job. I was kinda surprised. He was always a happy and upbeat guy but he wasn't today. I got the feeling he isn't loving it. Still a great dude but he wasn't the same. Do you guys enjoy your jobs ? Is this to be expected from someone who is new? I'm just curious. Hope i used the correct terms. Thank you.
