Saturday Afternoon Open Thread
— DrewM

College football, Halloween stories or whatever else you got.

Also, you may want to consider droping a few bucks in the Valour-IT fundraising bucket.

I linked to the Navy team because a bunch of HS friends went Navy, so that's a little thank you to them. Whatever team you donate through the money goes to a great cause.

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Technology supplied includes:

-Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.

-Wii Video Game Systems - Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).

- Personal GPS - Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.

This is the first I've heard about adding the Wii and GPS items to the effort. I think it's great that the folks at Soldiers' Angels are continuing to adapt the meet the needs of these American heroes.

21 Taking a bunch of little goblins trick-er-treating tonight, always fun!  Last year somebody in the neighborhood had a cotton candy machine and were passing that out for treats.  Don't think they'll be doing that tonight in this wind we've been having, although you never know.

22 6 Hey is Paranormal Activity worth seeing?  I rarely go to to the movies but looking for something to do tonight somewhat "Halloween" themed.  Heard good things so far.  Anyone here seen it?

I thought it was good.  Mind you, I wasn't a big fan of the Blair Witch Project (and Paranormal Activity is shot in the same sort of style - home movie like), so I wasn't expecting much.  To my surprise, I did like it and expected some terrifying moments.  I think the movie's atmosphere is correct and I liked the "theme" (if you go see it, you'll know what I'm talking about).  I also think it's one of those movies you have see in the theater to get the full experience because of the unfamiliar surroundings and the audio set-up.

The acting is, meh. It wasn't bad, and it certainly wasn't enough to make the movie unenjoyable.  I'd recommend it, if you have the cash.

One more thing.  If there's any annoying teenagers in the theater that are disrupting the atmosphere by gigging incessantly or blurting out phases like "fuck my tits", punch them in the face or get them kicked out.   When I went to see Paranormal Activity, the theater attendance was sparse (I went last Monday), but some idiot kids almost ruined the experience for me.

24 One more thing about Paranormal Activity.  A hallmark of a good horror movie is if it lingers with you after you're done watching it.  I remember being slightly discontented after I got home from seeing that movie.  I also jumped back when I heard something fall in my bathroom.  The movie didn't linger that long with me, but just enough to make my house unsettling for a while.

It was 59°F and raining when I got up this morning here. Now it is 83°F and sunny. I feel a bottle of Crown and a front porch rocker calling me.

Speaking of wind. First time I ever saw "To Kill a Mockingbird" was on TV when I was young, and I caught it right when the scene started of the two kids walking through the woods on Halloween. With the wind blowing, leaves flying, and then they get attacked!

I had NO idea what I was watching, but it sure caught my interest that night!

Of course I now love that film, but that was one hell of an introduction to that movie for me.

Vic,

I'm a Gator Booster and look forward to this every year here in Jax. The freakiness of Halloween and This game always brings out the best and worst of the teams. Way too many times has the lesser ranked team won this fall classic.

Now, off to the stadium (running late as hell) to enjoy the Sunshine and The Sunshine State. Good Luck .

Did you see that caromed toss by the Hoosiers that led to the Hawkeye interception and score?  Damned, that was some good look.

Boilers are blowing chow again today so I'm rooting for IU to beat Iowa... so that Penn State moves up in the standings.  Naturally, I'm expecting the Hoosiers to disappoint!

Posted by: Y-not at October 31, 2009 09:15 AM (sey23)

40 All the Valour IT fundraising money goes to the same place. The service divisions are just as a challenge.
And for those of you who have thought about adopting a soldier, now might be a time to do that. We just had another big group sign up for angels so we have over 2000 service men and women waiting for someone to adopt them. You can sign up on the Soldiers' Angels website.

46 I'm not sure if this is an internet hoax or not, but apparently this is in the health care bill fine print:

Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.

The WAC is starting to really show well.  We started following Boise State a couple of years ago (back when I was trying to convince Mr. Y-not to move to Idaho).  It'll be cool if they continue to stay so highly ranked.  That blue field is rather jarring, though!

64 Here's a discussion of Doug Hoffman's immigration position. As I read it (based on writing thousands of posts about the issue since 2002), he's quite Bush-like, meaning that he would probably support some form of amnesty and guest worker program. Either would end up raising taxes and giving more power to the Dems.

If anyone wants him to change his mind, go to one of his appearances and "cross-examine" him about that issue on video, then upload it to Youtube.

That's the problem CoolCzech, you've been a good boy.  You should wear a suit that has a nametag on it that says Governor and Love Client #9 and then you might get a trick and treat!

I'm thinking Lynch and Williams.  Any advice before I call Miss Cleo?

Lynch is gonna have a big day, the Toxins are awful against the run.  Who is Ricky playing?  He's on one of my ffl teams, too.   He's doing well in the wild cetacean.  Him or sasquatch from the Jints.

Ok, something differnt, since this thread seems to include everything.

A Halloween story.

I grew up in Tucson, AZ. One night during the summer a when I was about 15 or so, me and a friend thought it would be fun to spend the whole night awake under a bridge.

(Don't ask).

So this bridge ran across a dry river-bed, and pretty much defined the border between Tucson and the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. As the night went on, less and less traffic crossed the bridge. Maybe one car an hour, if that.

So around 3:00 am or so, me and my friend are just talking or what-not, and suddenly we hear a motorcycle start up. Somewhere above us. And we froze. We weren't aware of anyone being anywhere close to us.

So the bike started crossing the bridge. It sounded like around a 175cc engine. Whoever was driving it was really cranking the engine. We heard him shift from 1st, then 2nd, then getting into third as he crossed above us. And it was like reeeeeeeee, (shift), Reeeeeeeeee, (shift) REEEEEEEEEE....

then nothing...

No sound. It just cut off in mid-whine.

Me and my friend looked at each other with that WTF? look. And we listened . No sound of anyone trying to re-kick a bike. No sound of anything.  We then just whispered to each other 'take a look'. I went on one side of the bridge, he went on the other. We stuck our heads up, but no motorcycle. We then got on top of the bridge,looked to the far end but again no-one. The bridge was lit, but the light ended at the other end. Again, no person, no nothing. And even had this person been up the road, it was so quiet that we could have heard anyone trying to re-start a bike. But didn't.

Funny thing is, it really wasn't until a long time later that we realized how odd that was. At the time, heck, just being able to stay up for 24hrs was the cool thing.

Well anyhoo, that's my spooky story for today, since I probably won't be up for the ONT.

I've caught bits and piece of it.  USC's defense has been sloppy, but they just tied it up with 3 min left in the half.

117 Trailing Economic Indicator:

My kids and their friends went Trick-Or-Treating throughout the neighborhood tonight.

Turnout was apparently hampered by drizzly weather throughout the day, but a short respite in the early evening was perfectly-timed to allow them to make the candy-run.

<Note that our neighborhood is pretty affluent, with $400K-$750K homes on multi-acre lots.>

After finishing ~80% of the neighborhood, the kids stopped by our house for hot-ciders in the front room.  They also used this respite to evaluate their swag -- universally they were pretty appalled at the relative cheapness of the goodies compared with last year and the years before.

I see this "candy-famine" as an indicator of our economy's weakness, or at least of my neighborhood's perception of the economy's weakness. 

Also, did anyone else note the significant spike in the prices of Halloween candy this year?

121 Associated Press

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Penn State's defense clamped down after Northwestern lost starting quarterback Mike Kafka.  While fans credit the Nittany Lions resurgent offense with the late quarter win, others say it was because Northwestern's Kafka was replaced in the second half by a giant cockroach.

122 The Boise State fans have got to be loving the thrashing my Ducks gave USC tonight -- not only does it bump the Trojans down in the rankings, but it gives the Bronco's win against us more "legitimacy".  For Oregon, even this win is suspect in other peoples eyes, because veryone outside Oregon is still judging us on that one loss.  Funny thing is, there's an outside chance that we could end up playing a rematch in a bowl -- and the way both teams are playing right now, don't bet on the same outcome.

Posted by: Boy Named Sous at October 31, 2009 07:53 PM (IYJxi)

123 Seriously,

USC loses to the Huskies and they are number 5 in the country going into tonight's game? The rating system in College football is simply insane.

Way to go Ducks!
