"If we're going to explore plot holes in the Rocky series, wasn't it Rocky 2 where Rocky was diagnosed with a detached retina, or some condition that made it likely he'd go blind if he continued fighting?"
"Yuh gut the heart, but yuh ain't got the tools no more," says Mickey when he's trying to dissuade Rocky from fighting the rematch.
I'm going to work on a list of my least favorite movies. Rocky V will be on it.

Well, the post won't load and I can't figure out how to post a screen shot here, so I'll just have to relate the content. Somebody posted a drive-by rant about going to Sam's Club and finding all of the cakes were gone. He demanded to know who was having all the parties at which, he assumed, the cakes were to be consumed. He got slammed with a couple hundred replies, but what I found boardworthy, and had hoped to let you discover on your own, was his FB avatar/profile picture. Any guesses?
Timothy Hutton?

I was talking about this with Zach the other day. Why wasn't there ever a third fight between Rocky and Clubber Lang? Back in the day, there was always a third fight.
This is how bored I am.
There wasn't a third fight between Rocky and Apollo (unless you count them getting together after the Clubber Lang fight).
If we're going to explore plot holes in the Rocky series, wasn't it Rocky 2 where Rocky was diagnosed with a detached retina, or some condition that made it likely he'd go blind if he continued fighting? Didn't Rocky have close to 20 fights after that diagnosis?
I haven't seen Creed 2 yet. Maybe I'll try to find that somewhere while I'm stuck in the house.

For the record, I never worked for Putin.
That's the type of response I'd expect from a Russian bot.

Been busy and have neglected to check in here. I hope you're all surviving. Be thankful you're not craving booze you don't have and can't buy. I'd blame Governor Wolf but suspect the State Store union workers saw everyone else getting to stay home and put the pressure on. So I still blame Wolf. He declared lawn and garden centers nonessential overnight, so the Lowe's near my house was happy to sell me a mower online but not crabgrass preventer, fertilizer, etc. Plant sellers had to scramble to figure out how to unload their spring inventories. Effing crazy.
I can't imagine going through this without alcohol.
