Going to be in the mid 50's today. I'll take it

[Lazerus]

Same here but I suspect it will drop back down into freezing temps before long.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

I keep considering getting a Harley, but my debt keeps me and my hopes down :/

Have you picked out your dream one yet?

Not really. Recently I checked out the Nightster.

seems like all in the family is pretty heavily slanted toward pointing out shortcomings and prejudices of old white conservatives. i'm only two episodes in, i like it. but does it change direction over time? this doesn't appear to be something that would appeal to jason but it's one of his favorites.

He laughs because he knows his future is a beautiful combo of Archie and Al Bundy. Got his recliner picked out and everything.

[Reign in Blood]

Would it surprise you if I told you I know every single word of this song?

it doesn't seem quite up your alley musically. but it is one worth knowing.

i wish she had more songs than she does.

It's not exactly up my alley, but I know it because my ex had the album this song was on and she played the hell out of that album in 2007.

Takes me way back to 2007. Hard to believe that was 18 years ago.

good for her. you, me and reign can have a singalong.

Hit me with some Samson!

I drove through a massive car accident just now it happened right in front of me like Nascar type shit. My guess is the car that caused it was stolen.

[zombie]

damn. i hope the other driver is okay.

[Tiggnutz]

Drivers plural. He hit a bunch of cars it was total carnage. I would say he was going at least 100mph weaving in and out of cars than smacked a box truck

[zombie]

that sucks. probably drunk. at least you weren't caught up into it. and yeah, drivers. i hope they are all alright.

[Tiggnutz]

I see that kinda driving frequently, the cars are trying to get to Baltimore and most likely stolen

I watched the first six or seven episodes of All in the Family. Didn't hate it, but shows like Family Ties just appealed to me more (being ten years newer probably helped).

i watched family ties as a kid, but only remember it vaguely.

I was kinda blind on Harleys but knew I wanted one. Took me a long time to figure out, but I dug the Dyna Street Bob (not the softail Street Bob) a lot and ended up buying that one. The look is great, good for long rides and plenty of horsepower for a bike.

If you don't have your heart set on a Harley per se, the Indian and Triumph brands are very nice alternatives and cheaper.

The show was designed to recognize the changing of the times with the clashing of a young and highly opinionated college guy and a blue collar middle aged working class guy. Mike was written to be the hero and Norman Lear didn't account for the amount of people who loved Archie, so he became even more comedic as the show goes on and the fan favorite of the show. By the end of most episodes, there generally isn't a clear winner and it aired during a time when people could just laugh and not judge each other so harshly for their political views.

Edith is my favorite character. She is the perfect "middle man" between Archie and Mike and always has something perfectly neutral to say in the middle of their clash. Even if she is a dingbat.

yeah, i get the sense that it shifted it's direction over time. fair enough.

It's a mostly liberal show. It didn't shift very much.

I think my favorite is season 5. As far as quintessential episodes go, I wouldn't be able to pinpoint an exact episode that you can skip to, but every once in a while an episode will floor you with sudden conflict or unspoken struggles that humanize the show completely. Makes it feel very real. For that reason alone, the spin off series Archie Bunker's Place must also be seen for a couple of specific episodes. It only ran three short seasons but is a must if you end up loving the show.
