<p>What do I win Mojo? The 4th Season of Home Movies? I might have to get HBO back, I switched to Showtime because I got so behind on Soprano's I am just going to rent all the seasons. I'm not thrilled with Showtime either. Maybe I'll just get Skinemax and screw the rest. </p><p><em>Well, they blew up the chicken man in philly last night<br />Now, they blew up his house, too<br />Down on the boardwalk theyre gettin ready for a fight<br />Gonna see what them racket boys can do<br /><br />Now, theres trouble bustin in from outta state<br />And the d.a. cant get no relief<br />Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade<br />And the gamblin commissions hangin on by the skin of his teeth<br /><br />Well now, evrything dies, baby, thats a fact<br />But maybe evrything that dies someday comes back<br />Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty<br />And meet me tonight in atlantic city<br /><br />Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away<br />But I got debts that no honest man can pay<br />So I drew what I had from the central trust<br />And I bought us two tickets on that coast city bus<br /><br />Now, baby, evrything dies, honey, thats a fact...<br /><br />Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold<br />But with you forever Ill stay<br />Were goin out where the sands turnin to gold<br />Put on your stockins baby, `cause the nights getting cold<br />And maybe evrything dies, baby, thats a fact<br />But maybe evrything that dies someday comes back<br /><br />Now, I been lookin for a job, but its hard to find<br />Down here its just winners and losers and dont<br />Get caught on the wrong side of that line<br />Well, Im tired of comin out on the losin end<br />So, honey, last night I met this guy and Im gonna<br />Do a little favor for him<br /><br />Well, I guess everything dies, baby, thats a fact...</em></p>

Was this really the only thread for Boardwalk Empire in here? Well its the only one I could find. Anyone else still watching? This season has been great. The last 2 episodes have been even better than the last 2 Walking Dead. The finale looks like its gonna be amazing.
