Where my 5 questions?

[jb]

bitches.

[skatingtripods]

Mine got one of the lowest responses totals so it's up to wabo this week.

[jb]

Wabo get the F in the hizzy before 4:48. Things to do, peeps to see.

[hermanfontenot]

I got it if you fellas can wait till about 3:30 or so.

Eff it, let's do it right now.

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?

Pulp Fiction

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

1987. That was the best Browns team since the merger- and the Redskins were probably the worst team to rep the NFC in the SB during their 13-year winning streak. Cleveland would have had a great chance to win that game.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

Without question.

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Hang out with my GF, drink, eat and get used to living in Strongsville.
5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

I'm rooting for Philadelphia. Love their uniforms, their history & their identity as a franchise- hard-nosed.

Jesse - is this Official? I need to know if it is Official before I reply. ;-)

It's official unless,

OR

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

1) Gladiator

2) Neither. They probably would've just gotten smashed by Washington or NY.

3) Yes.

4) Go put flags and wreaths at my dad's and uncle's graves.

5) Philly.

can we replace the hockey question with a question about the 500?

no disrespect intended towards the resident hockey fan on the board in adam.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

I'm a hockey fan........

[jb]

I got it if you fellas can wait till about 3:30 or so.

Eff it, let's do it right now.

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?

Forrest Gump

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

Tough one.

We'd just beaten the Giants the year before and were better in 86, but the O was just humming by 87. I think we could have scored with the skins and held down Timmuh better then the Donks. 87.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

No.

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Primitive camping with the fam on Saturday, picnic and some grillin/chillin on Sunday.

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

Who cares. Freak hockey. I'm an American.

[skatingtripods]

can we replace the hockey question with a question about the 500?

No, because hockey is actually a sport. Unlike driving. If driving is a sport, then I'm a world-class athlete.

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?

The Pirates of the Caribbean series.

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

I was a couple months old for '86. So neither one really matters to me.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

No. I think retired numbers should be reserved for Hall of Famers.

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Cookout at my buddy Femur's house on Sunday. Packing/errands in advance of my Detroit/Windsor trip on Monday.

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

Blackhawks. Too much talent, too much skill, home ice advantage, and they've played the better competition to this point in the playoffs.

[Triple-S]

No, because hockey is actually a sport. Unlike driving. If driving is a sport, then I'm a world-class athlete.

Pay no mind that these people are driving at like top speeds of 228 mph, and are actually risking their lives. ;).

By waking up and doing something everyday, everybody in the world is risking their life. Maybe not to the extent of an Indy Car driver.

But Richard Zednik and Clint Malarchuk totally agree.

What is the mortality rate for Indy drivers? Or for all racers for that matter? I bet, at least for higher level racing, it is lower than your chance of getting killed driving to work.

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

1) Scarface. Very good. But not canonical.
2) Doesn't matter.
3) Laugh. No.
4) Tearing out the kitchen floor (glued down wood on concrete; it's fucking terrible, if anyone has any tips beyond cut it up with a circular saw and use a wonder bar and sledge I'm all ears) and maybe, maybe putting down the new floor. BBQ tomorrow too.
5) Flyers.

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

1. Anything by the Coen Brothers. I get them intellectually, but just don't find anything they do funny. I so wanted to like The Big Lebowski, but it did absolutely nothing for me.

2. I'll say '87, just because it would have been sweet to see them cap off one of the best comebacks in postseason history. (Most folks hate Byner for the fumble; I hate Mark Harper for giving up damn near every long pass that put the Browns in a position to need a TD at that juncture.)

3. No. Third-best QB in a four-team division. (Yes, I know that's provocative to say on a Cleveland sports board, but it's true.)

4. Zoo with the kids, get in some long training runs for Burning River, and otherwise just relax.

5. Don't care about hockey.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Who the fuck glued wood to concrete? Depending on the adhesive used dry ice may help.

(Despite my earlier comment about not caring about hockey, which still stands, I'd never argue that it isn't a sport.)

I would love to blame it on the guy who was here before, who did a bunch of subpar work around the house that is in part necessitating a lot of work (part shoddy work, part shoddy materials, part lack of maintenance prob due to being a short sale for a year), but this appears to be from the original construction. Good craftsmanship, just was in bad shape because this guy's wife obviously stomped around on it in high heels.

Good call on the dry ice. I'll give it a shot, esp for the areas I can't swing the hammer much.

[skatingtripods]

Austin Carr thinks you should be able to throw the hammer down anywhere.

[waborat]

b.) waborat gets off his duff and comes correct.

Sorry you boobs, I took last Monday off and didn't realize that it was already Friday before I went to work this morn...

Guess I'm a bigger boob

[mattvan1]

Primitive camping with the fam on Saturday

Gonna spear a mastodon for dinner? Nothing brings the family together like spending 5 hours gathering firewood and then trying to light it with flint and dried leaves.

Let me know what you put down. I tore up some of my kitchen today (engineered wood flooring on concrete, thin set adhesive). Mine came up easy, as it had water underneath it. (don't ask). Thinking of floating the new floor over the slab, no adhesive, no sub floor.

Any experience out there?

[waborat]

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?
Gotta go with JB's Forrest Gump answer...THE most disappointing flick I've ever seen

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

I'll go with the "86 Drive...maybe if they win that one and go off to the SB then Ernie makes sure he hangs onto the piggie to be able to go again?

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

No, but the Cavs should probably hang it from the rafters

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Dinner tonight w/ friends, yard work Saturday, lamb roast Sunday, try to rest on Monday

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

Blackhawks Down

You should be fine floating it Matt...

Just make sure that you put a vapor barrier down first

[jack_tors]

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?
The vast majority of Eastwood directed films. Mystic River sucked ass

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?
I was too young to make this call with any certainty.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?
Love Bernie and his dedication to the city but no. Numbers should be retired in rare instances.

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?
Some yard work, seeing the extended family, and taking in the epic Reminderville Memorial Day parade. Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade has nothing on us.

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?
Hawks big time

Thanks. Houses where I live are all slab on grade foundations. Which is less than ideal IMO.

I'm putting down a floating floor also as the replacement. Any need to glue the planks together, just for the kitchen?

Not sure if you need adhesive these days. I have read about some engineered tongue and groove flooring that doesn't require glue. I need to find out a bit more, though.

Do you mean in general (click lock) or specifically doesn't need it in a wet area? I have the click lock, and it's not glued anywhere else I've put it down or will put it down. Just concerned about spills getting through the seams even if cleaned up right away.

No you don't need adhesive. My mom's house has tounge and groove hardwood all downstairs and they get wet every winter from the dogs tracking snow (and when they're out in the rain) in and she hasn't had a single problem, those floors are probably 6-7 years old.

Hey man, If that's how you feel, you know, I'm OK, you're OK...That there's what it is.



1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?

Citizen Cane

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

1987 - I'd like to take that burden off Byner.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

Absolutely - It's the Cleveland Browns and he's a Cleveland Browns Legend

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Work tomorrow. Then beer, burgers, and good times with my kid.

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

Flyers I guess, although I'm not militant about it.

[idoctribefan]

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?
Napoleon Dynamite

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?
Doesn't matter. Either would be fine.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?
No

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?
Recover from strep throat and 9 straight days of work with this 3-day weekend

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?
I dislike them both. I think the Blackhawks will win.

No adhesive these days, and you'd really have to leave water pool for quite some time to get a raise in the seams, or any other damage. One of the reasons this type of stuff isn't recommended for bathrooms isn't necessarily water, it's the humidity etc. associated with a "floating" floor.

The only carpet I have left in the house is upstairs, I resurfaced the original hardwoods on the main floor, have installed engineered flooring in the kitchen, a breezeway and a small bathroom. Have had zero issues, and man, about as easy a major project you could do. Stuff cuts clean and easy.

[Ziner]

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?

Napoleon Dynamite

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

87, that was the first game I can remember.... yep, you all are old.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

Why not, plenty of numbers, not many have the love he does.

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Just found out I have free tickets to the Senior PGA Championship tomorrow. Gonna go check out Couples, Lehman, and Kite. Should be cool, first golf tourney I have been to. Sunday taking the wife to the Zoo. Monday is the Boulder Bolder 10K

5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

Still have affection for Chicago, go Blackhawks

[General]

1.) When you think of overrated movies, what's one title that always comes to mind?

Mission Impossible

2.) If you could change the outcome of EITHER the 1986 or '87 AFC title games- not both- which one would you change?

1986...because I was there.

3.) Should the Browns retire #19?

No. No Rings.

4.) So, what are your plans for this long weekend?

Working. I am in the Resort Biz.
5.) Blackhawks or Flyers- who do you like?

Philly I guess

Lead's right, no glue because it needs to be able to move with the seasons, humidity, etc...

Also, it's THE easiest floor to ever keep clean...Spray, mop 'n done...

Did I mention it's pretty much scratch free? You can slide your appliances across it like shuffleboard and you're fine

[jb]

But its way more fun with glue.

You'll see dead Indians inhabiting your soul.
