I know. I hate how these tolls don't accept EZPass too. I've met the people who own the Margate Bridge. They print money.
- PhillySportsGuy


I refuse to use that bridge. It's extortion via convenience.

This is just sad how many people seem to think this. Although now HBO has Martin by the short hairs. He has to finish the books. I hope the pressure doesn't ruin them.

I imagine he planned to finish them regardless...that or die.

Please don't die before you wrap up the story. 2 more books, although I have no idea how you're going to do that, George, while introducing new plot lines and characters instead of finishing up what's already on your damn plate!

He does seem to have the Robert Jordan curse, doesn't he?
To be honest I haven't seen the show at all. I'm glad the books are getting acclaim because they really are just that good. What's funny is there are other authors just as good. I hope the series gets people picking up books. But I won't hold my breath.

Clearly not when people are surprised by primary characters getting axed. And the series is actually quite different in spots from the books with a lot of stuff that just never happened. Which is odd to me. I get that they are different mediums therefore there are going to be differences, but this is more like GRRM scrapped chapters from the books and is adding them back into the series.

It's worth watching if you get the chance. I'm just getting caught up on the most recent season. The first episode had Arya getting Needle back for some merc...was f'n awesome. She's one of my favorite characters.

Sorry, I laughed when I first saw that. But I hope the dog is ok and they don't do any more rolls.

- PhillySportsGuy


I think they've had 4 bribes passed between officials just in the time it took me to write this post.

That said, I'm actually looking forward to the World Cup and I don't care all that much about soccer.

The more articles I read about World Cup, however, and the more I come to the opinion that the sport seems to do SO MUCH to distance itself from other sports in the US in many ways, that I wonder if it will ever be as popular here as elsewhere.

My new past time is watching videos of people watching GoT. The looks on their faces are priceless. They have a few more surprises in store for them huh?

Secure your damn dog or give it to someone who'll care for it.

Arya is the best character in the books. If he kills her off the uproar will be tremendous. (was that a spoiler?)

I still count dogs every night. When I get to six I'm taking three and moving out.

Prepare the uproar.

Nutter never understood this whole thing with dogs. Having an animal and walking it around with a leash tied to its neck.

Call me crazy. Seems to be a 'fad' these days.

Amazing what you can do when you don't have a separated shoulder, two broken feet, or two messed up knees.

Being traded twice in six months probably worked as some type of wake up call.
