Status Updates posted by Cobra Kai

  1. Sometimes your status update should be a blog post or a topic in the forums. Just sayin.

      Guilty myself sometimes.  But a Topic is long and drawn out (potentially), where a Status just gets a few hits...And may get seen more than a blog...Just sayin :)

      I post a status when it's something short and sweet.

       

      "I just got a Lynx. It's cool and neat, lotsa fun.". 

       

      If I had more to say about the topic than that at the moment I'd probably make a post in the Lynx forum.

      It's not just a negative comment on my part, sometimes status updates lately have been filled with good information. It's better if that stuff is archived in search through the forums.

  2. It's funny how tastes change. Rocky used to be my favorite movie at one time. But now, I think The Karate Kid is actually a better movie. I'm not ready to say TKK is my favorite movie though. But it's freaking awesome.

      TKK is actually an excellent film. The story is good, the writing is fresh, the acting & characters are enjoyable and the payoff is huge. Still enjoyable today.

      I like how relatable it is for my generation. All the high school stuff in that movie is believable. The bullying, the poor kid taking out the rich girl, all the high school drama with the girls etc...

  3. Well, that's just a damn shame.

  4. 5200 HSC is getting wrecked this season, I count 9 broken records so far.

  5. Just got home from a vacation at Hocking Hills state park in Ohio, lots of hiking. Great scenery. I did not like driving on the roller coaster road ways though, some of it was terrifying, especially with the locals who get annoyed if you go too slow!

      Ooooh... yeah, I forgot about that. Whenever you're driving on mountain roads, the locals always get pissed if you aren't hauling ass. It's weird being in a sports car and having a 1979 Dodge PowerWagon riding your ass down twisty roads... lol.

      That's too funny.  I was with my wife in TN once a long while back and was too proud to not drive the pace the guy wanted me to establish.  I finally had to bail and explain to my wife that we needed to backtrack because I had lost my way a few miles back. 

  6. "New Bedford's overstocked" "What with?" "Heads of course!"

  7. Video Games are the best hobby ever....

      They're certainly better than the stereotypical action figures, which may look nice on a shelf, but does anybody actually play with them?  At least video game cartridges can give you some amusement *and* serve as pretty shelf candy.

      I've been programming them since 1985 and I still play games, just not the ones I work on, because I always have god mode and all weapons, with infinite ammo, etc.! ?

  10. I think Commando is a better movie than Predator, depending on what your mood is.

      Even though Commando has a retro shopping mall and a young Alyssa Milano... Predator FTW! lol

    3. Cobra Kai

      Predator is a better production, no question. Commando has more 80's action movie tropes in it probably.

  11. This millennial (27) I work with sucks on his vape device all day completely addicted to nicotine. The kid claims he's never smoked a real cigarette in his life.

      Vaping generally is kind of awesome compared to smoking. Still not great but just saying. (I don't vape nicotine...)

      Vaping is a hell of a lot better than smoking real cigs. I quit smoking real cigs several years ago thanks to a "heat not burn" device.

      I'm so old I saw C64 instead of N64. D'oh!

  13. This board makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

  14. KFC keeps coming up with new ways to kill you. The latest product: fried chicken skins

      You can order "crumbs" or "crispies" at Long John Silvers as a secret menu item. It's exactly what you think.

      Several times when I've considered eating at KFC, I have skipped it because afterwards I'll be somewhere without instant access to a bathroom, so to speak. Other fast food generally works for me, Kentuckyzuma's Revenge I'm not so sure about.

  15. Trying a bag of Chili Lime peanuts. They were on clearance for a buck fifty

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Lot going on there...So what's the verdict?

    2. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      Both flavors stand out. I keep thinking, why the combo? I would be happy with a chili flavored peanut. The lime is just weird. I'm not sure where that combination came about, what does chili and lime have to do with eachother?

  16. Went and saw John Wick 3 this afternoon. As with the previous 2, you get introduced to more lore of this underworld he's a part of, and of course more crazy combat. Alot of knife fighting this time

      Probably because, even though it's set very modern, the style is throwback to when we loved watching action movies for the gratuitous violence alone.

    3. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      Take even your most protracted combat set pieces, say the extended sequence in True Lies starting with the bathroom shootout, then the chase on horseback etc...take that and triple it, even quadruple the carnage and length of the sequence

       

    4. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      That's what a John Wick movie is like. Mad Max Fury Road kind of touched on this idea where you make an entire movie one big action sequence. The cool thing about Wick is there is all this background and lore that trickles out through other characters and the idea of his 'legendary' status

  17. LOL at some of those Red Dwarf metaphors. "Face it, we're deader than a pair of A-line flairs with pockets in the knees!"

      It looks like it is burning to the ground and all the scaffolding used for the renovations has turned into the death of this landmark. I feel almost sick right now...

  22. In the early 1990's, I began buying VHS tapes with a subscription to Columbia House. 6 VHS for $1, and a commitment to buy another 6 out of the catalog.
