War Room Lounge V43: STEM is Overrated

[HockeyBjj]

He's so fucking useless that he can't even wink.

 

[Trotsky]

Other than the Ed Sheeran one, they've mostly been in there as extras and unnoticeable/unrecognizable unless hunting for them, so this'll probably be the same and not a big deal.

Would be cool to have him as a lannister soldier throwing a spear or something

Judging by the quality of this season and the wink-wink nature of the Sheeran cameo, I'd expect something more in the lines of:

Jon meets a man at a tavern on the way south from Winterfell, he tells him about how he's having difficulty wrangling his north-men soldiers, and Aaron says "oh, I know what it's like to lead an army in the north. Welp, I'm late for work. I better get packing."

Then he winks at the camera and the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song plays.

Spoiler

He let it leak awhile ago that he was in it with something like:
"I either die... or get naked so I'll just leave it at that"

Sheeran cameo

Sheeran as a tavern musician during the Hot Pie and Arya scene singing some nice song in the background that fit the mood would have been perfect.

Shoving it in our face (literally, he had the closest close up of anyone) with a 3 minute ordeal of lannister soldiers are people too was rough.

Pretty sure he banged Massie tho while they were shooting that scene.

Yeah, I remember the "it's a new one" line after she compliments the song.

Kevin Durant’s legs look like hockey sticks.....

Also, bitchmade if it’s just a calf strain.

Case in point.....

Greg Campbell broke his fucking leg blocking a slap shot and finished his shift

Patrice Bergeron played the 2013 Cup finals with
Separated left shoulder
Broken rib
Punctured lung
Torn cartilage in right shoulder

Peverley’s HEART STOPPED on the bench and when he was resuscitated in the back he tried to fight the trainers to get back to the ice.

Hockey players as tough guys>>>>>>>>>>NBA

Joe Pavelski came back from a concussion and a broken jaw (separate occurrences) to get a goal and an assist in Game 7 two nights ago.

You still watching @HockeyBjj?

That's great but nobody has ever heard of those guys while Kevin Durant is a global brand name lol

Lyrics of that one were from the book. A singer found out about Shae, Tyrion's whore, and tried to blackmail Tyrion.

Tyrion told Bronn to kill him and hide the body. Bronn chopped him up and gave the meat to the cooks for the soup line in flea bottom

Yeah. Pavelski's comeback was super cool.

I was watching the hurricanes and Bruins game last night. Apparently had a few too many beers to make cleaning for a party we're having this evening enjoyable, as I was livid for about 20 minutes about that no goal call, only to realize after review they did indeed count it.

Canes still lost tho.

Sounds like another instance of the show making protagonists unrealistically pure and boring compared to their imperfect book depictions.

Let's fucking go!

Bronn also married a mentally deficient daughter of a lesser noble house, then killed the lord father and drove the lady mother away so that he could rule the lands with his wife at his side. (The mother there went running to Cersei. Cersie wanted to keep it all quite so she gave her to Qyubin. Who uh, experimented on her until she was an empty shell)

Book Bronn has his fooking castle and is living happily ever after.

Show did do a good change tho in bringing Bronn back to be Jamie's buddy. That was an area D&D was correct in breaking away from GRRM's works to adapt it for a screen. In books, Jaime used the tongueless ser Ilyn Payne as his sparring partner as he couldn't tell anyone how bad a swordsman Jaime was with his left. Bronn and Jaime had some very good scenes together and it worked better to advance the story.

The other thing too is Bronn in the show is a mixture of book Bronn, Ironhand who isn't even in the show (Tyrion's pick to run the city guard after banishing that one fuck) and another character.

Book Bronn also had a child with mentally deficient daughter of the lesser house and named the child Tyrion. Cersei in the books suspects this is his way of mocking her (and let's be honest, with book Bronn it probably is).

Agreed though, and having him around more in the show was great. Bronn/Hound 2 best characters.

That's great but nobody has ever heard of those guys while Kevin Durant is a global brand name lol

WA sports fan.

FUCK the NBA
FUCK David Stern
FUCK OKC
FUCK Westbrook
FUCK KD

FUCK EM

@Jack V Savage Had a fun little read this morning that talked a little shit on your boy Milius and Apocalypse Now. Also a funny anecdote about Trump apparently not knowing what Agent Orange is and confusing it with napalm.

Unable to serve in Vietnam due to asthma, Milius is proud his scene inspires America’s modern soldiers.

Those boys need mantras like that [“I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”], they need to be juiced. They constitute the point of the spear, and the point needs…to be kept ready, whether it’s for a good war or bad war. And we, the rest of us, in turn need people like that who will be willing and eager to constitute the point of that spear. Otherwise we will just end up like Rome, with the barbarians coming pouring in over the gates.​

With views this subtle, it is a tribute to the imagination of critics that the helicopter scene draws praise for its darkness, ambivalence, and other “invigorating” aesthetic qualities.

Its only redeeming feature is the Wagner, which rather than scaring the Vietnamese as Kilgore imagines, foolishly lets the guerillas know Americans are coming. Several helicopters are destroyed in the battle, and Kilgore only carries the day by radioing for napalm.

Forget his bluster about napalm’s morning fragrance; his real insight is his uncertainty about winning the war. “Someday,” he muses shirtlessly before surfing, “this war is gonna end.” But even this is reactionary mythology. Kilgore’s nonchalance suggests that the US was just playing at war in Vietnam, and never fought with everything it had, furthering the idea that things could be different if we just had a round two.

The US Postal Service needs to rework their tracking system though... 3/4 the time it tells you the tracking number is invalid.

I desperately need a Google Alert for Dinesh D'Souza Dunking. For real, it's my favorite thing.

Also, the USPS is a national treasure.
