No these are immigrant families, like our big group playing softball (Caribbean). Just playing. And they bring all their equipment. Some I imagine played in local teams in the neighborhood. Like the local soccer clubs, softball Dominican Taxi league we always had in Corona.

I mean you could, but then you'd be the family on the block with an ISIS flag. On the bright side you can cancel home security. FBI will always be watching your house. (Forget who did this bit)

Yes. As is folks from Ghana, Nigeria, S Africa. Never met Africans?

Only place I ever seen cricket played was NYC. Between the Africans and West Indians there was always a game on weekends in many parks.

The Division. And I felt like an idiot for not paying mind to my cousin who was raving about the story and lore.

Dick Wolf can't be tamed. He'll rehash the same format over and over and ppl love it. Same as many shows. Like Walking Dead, everyone raving to me about it. I just said "lemme guess, it's not about zombies".

A lot. A lot of underground, progressive, and Christian hip hop. Don't sleep on their skills. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Lauryn Hill, Digable Planets, De la Soul, Cross Movement rappers.

I will add that it took a second viewing to fully appreciate it as a work of art really. So many things I missed initially.

Yeah, The Wire is still a show I always recommend. It's just different, like you pointed out. It's more than the great, more than the great characters. It's the city, the experiment, life, America. The show holds a mirror to your face , or America, many times. It's a masterpiece for me. I mean there's a reason they now study the show in sociology classes in college.

I got my dad and a few uncle's whom worked as dishwashers, cooks. I just pick up the phone and ask them. I take most reviews with a grain of salt. Like with cookware someone boasting how durable something is after only using 6 months is pointless.

Well inside the tank the screws need rubber washers to prevent leakage from the holes. Bottom with the nut has a washer like that and screw. Washer to protect the tank integrity. They crack easily.

Funny part toe is it's now a Roman Catholic church. As a former Catholic our numbers are dwindling. We Latinos are converting and the Irish and Italians ain't popping out babies like they used to.

Yeah notice how scenes can drag in in older movies. You were in the scene longer. As an above poster mentioned, camera cuts. Like I remember years ago stoned with friends watching Seinfeld shows on weekends off and analyzing the evolution of the directing and lines, scenes. Later seasons are so fast paced, dialogue seems rushed, jokes are snappy on point. Or the horrible story lines of Kung Fu movies. Lol

Yeah those mega supermkts in the suburbs are huge compared to here in the city. So I put the produce together, cold cuts, meat, sauces , etc. Cause a lot of my produce I buy at the produce store.
