My daughter is wrapping up the application process for attending prep school next year, and I was curious if anyone here either attended a prep school or sent a child to one. At least a few of the schools we have looked at have sent students to Wake, but I have no idea if any of them post here...

I saved most (ok, all) of my good writing bits for the larger version of this game, which maybe I can run in a couple months or so if interest is there. So everybody gets the stripped down version this time around. The college sports battlefield rages on, despite the current lockdown. As...

Signup for next week is here. With Monday being Memorial Day, I will take suggestions on whether to Start on Monday or Tuesday. Roles will go out and thread will open the evening before Round 1... so some banter, but not a ton. I will take as many as want to play and adjust the balance from...

Winston-Salem Journal article Another huge part of my childhood gone. The Cars on MTV were one of my favorites growing up, and their first album is right up there with the best debuts in rock. RIP.

My old plasma is finally giving out, so I'm in the market for a new TV. Space constraints limit me to around a 43" screen. I'm leaning towards a Samsung (maybe a QLED if I can talk my wife into it), but does anyone have any particular suggestions?

I did a quick search but couldn't find any old threads about this. My family and I are heading to Nashville for a week so that my daughter can attend the Predators goalie camp. Does anyone have any recommendations for what we should do while we are there? Particularly lunch/daytime options...

Welcome to the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals. We have a great matchup this season between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators. While the players from those two teams battle it out for the Cup, a number of other NHL teams will try exert their own influence on the game. Both the...

Time to revisit Stanley Cup Mafia. I'll take as many people as I can get, but need at least 20. Game will be similar to last year with all new writing and some changes in roles and powers. There will be some changes in the way I mod the game this year, as I think there are a few things I...

Welcome to the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals. We have a great matchup this season between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the San Jose Sharks. While the players from those two teams battle it out for the Cup, a number of other NHL teams will try exert their own influence on the game. Both the Penguins...

Figured it was my turn to run one of these things. No SLT input this time around, though. This will be a 2 mafia game with mostly standard roles. Shooting for 22 players, and the first deadline will be Tuesday morning, due to the holiday weekend. Game will probably open some time on Monday...

Broken Lizard looks to crowdfunding. Already 37% there in just 7 hours. I'm not a big fan of having movies made in this manner, but if it is the only way to make it happen, I'll kick in a few bucks.

So, I've been given the unenviable task of trying to plan a bachelor party in Destin, FL in November. I have never been there, so I was hoping I could get some input from the crowd here. Significant travel is not an option, and I'm fighting an uphill battle as the groom generally dislikes most...

Hey, guess what? There are basketball games on tonight! 7:15 Dayton-Stanford 7:47 Baylor-Wisconsin 9:45ish Florida-UCLA 10:17ish Arizona-San Diego St. I think Baylor and Florida will win easily, but the other two games could be interesting.

Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brackie), the lead singer for GWAR, was found dead in his home Sunday. http://wtvr.com/2014/03/24/gwar-founder-dave-brockie-found-dead-in-richmond-home/ The great ones are never truly appreciated in their time, but if even a few more people can be exposed to the...

After some great games and 8 upsets in the first round, we move on to the first weekend and CBS's horrible scheduling. Only a single game on from 12:15 until 6:10, when they start doubling them up. I certainly hope that Florida-Pitt and Louisville-St. Louis are worth watching.

Come on, people... the games have started. Ohio State not hitting shots early, but Dayton isn't looking much better.

Goonies has to be the star of that bunch, but Gremlins 2 was just so odd that I think I may watch that one first.

OK, Pit. I'm in the market for a briefcase, or more specifically an attache case, I guess. I want an actual hard sided leather case, not one of those satchel things. Would like to keep it in the $100-$150 range. Any suggestions? Specific brands/models would be helpful for online shopping...

Does anyone know if Aramark has a 100% contract for concessions at Wake football games, or do they do some outside contracting? Specifically, does anyone have a contact to get in touch with concerning this? Thanks.

I currently have Bellsouth for my DSL access, but I'm exploring other options for internet service so that I can drop my home phone. I know about TWC, but I'm currently locked into a DirecTV contract, and don't really want to switch from them. Anyone have any good recommendations?
