And whosit no longer says he's from Knoxville Tennessee (where his Father inconveniently lives) but from Hawaii which might not be in any region. Thanks for that because the phrase "at their own expense" could really hurt with the costs of some of the cities.

Thank you for sharing that reddit AMA. I had been looking for information about the 'buggy' that carries Tombstone because it just seems to be the right way to move a bot into the box. (The rest of the questions were also much appreciated here.)

The Station Agent (2003) staring a younger Peter Dinklage is on HBO several times this week (week of July 21, 2019)

Tonight was a crazy quilt of well known bots and never heard of them before bots. Two matchups could have been "the" game of the night. Lots of fire, that didn't burn much. The retrospective of Duck's win by survival last week was lots of fun. Some of the losses were real surprises. Next week is the fight for the bolt (and a place in the final 16). Some of the bots with multiple losses may be too beaten up to participate. The Chinese woman tonight looked really foolish waving a cooking whisk in the air. On one hand, they'd like women to be a major part of the competition, and then ....wire whisks for everybody?

Lest we forget

from the Daily Mail. Supporting actress is going to be interesting

Sounds a lot like elementary school kids making up rules as they go along, especially for the popular kids in class. So....let me add a couple of Passes. Speed Pass: whoever finished the identical course fastest Safety Pass: who ever gets the farthest with broken bones vs. whoever has the most stitches in his or her head and spills measurable blood. Flatulence Pass: whoever blows one and takes out the first two rows of the viewing stands Costume Pass: whoever goes the farthest with the heaviest costume Pet Pass: whoever's pet gets so excited that it pees and poos and is caught on camera. Sound Barrier Pass: whoever lands and the crack of their landing is measured in highest decibels. Mathmatical Pass: would include the variables: age, height, weight, leg length, leg split angle, grip strength, hair: ranked none to DanielGill width. I would discourage any passes based on family reactions and family hair styles.

Don't scrap it. Those 5k in repairs are going to cause a breakdown. Let it, with her at the wheel. Not a hoarded car, but my FIL's dementia (one iteration) lead to his forgetting how to get the car in reverse. This was after he took out a tree at the local donut shop (he was a retired police man). He proclaimed it an unlucky car (3 brake jobs 10,000 miles) He never got around to buying the junker he had hidden cash to buy. We put a note on top of the engine and it said that the family had chosen, for the safety of the community, to disable the car, and keep it disabled. (We had seen him drive through a red light on a drive that he knew well, having lived there for seven years.) Keep that car that she knows. That way she can't logically blame you.

Flimsy, dismantled, etc. How much of this is a result of our seeing the bots from a distance, in the cage? Whenever I've looked at Duck, I've seen him (and I do see him as a him) as about the size of a pack of typewriter paper. That's what my mind used to see. Then we saw our announcers with the bill and bill support after Duck's loss of his bill, and all of a sudden my mind made the connection: Duck=Big=Strong. We've seen bots go for their weigh in. But are some of the apparently less substantial bots way, way under weight? Or do they just fight that way?

Interesting insights, BuyMoreandSave, any you have chosen a heck of a name. Wow.

Friday night July 12. Forget, or at least set aside, my love of bots being flipped through the air. You know the guy who destroys property, Mr. Mayhem, in the insurance ads. Tonight's fights had two with as much mayhem as any fan could hope for, but not expect to see. If you could disembowel a bot, that happened. The first two had such mayhem that they weren't putting the bots on the carrying four wheeled carts, they were just picking up pieces. To answer my question, Bronco was back in a smaller, more Titanium used, more compact form in the final, main card event. It wasn't one of his flip out evenings. Only one fight went to the judges (IIRC). That's a lot of knockouts. That was entertainment, with no blood spilled. Since bot fluids don't count.

and that made it in the top five. Shudder. That's so wrong. (IMO)

I rewatched on Wednesday night, and there was (towards the end) a fight that wasn't shown last Friday. It wasn't very exciting, and the new to the fighting ring bot got whupped by the experienced bot. I wonder if they need a prelim for the newbies. Putting them in with some of the powerful bots may not be what they need to see what changes they need to make to be competitive. I am almost embarassed to admit that I love to see bots flipped. Not just a single flip, but multiple 360's airborne. And that is why I am so enamored of Duck. It, ahem, took a licking and kept on ticking. Does anyone know if Bronco is in the line up this season and I wonder what new iteration Chomp will have. Chomp had the AI, but the weapon didn't work until they made an adjustment and then it seems to stay upright so much better.

Spoiler Photos and a story from current shooting of the final year

I wonder if they edited something. I’m on the west coast & they just showed it. He was pleasant, & then danced like an idiot for a few minutes. No head shake or walk away. The Father walked away in disgust when GMC was chatting with the inane questions from the female talking head. In total agreement. And then there was the coverage of the people getting their ticket selected from the bowl of wannabe walkons. And the disaster runs of (IIRC) two of them, including one who didn't make it through obstacle one.
