How else are you supposed to pay your HOA bill and put a big FUCK YOU in the memo line?

One trivial thing that makes me surly is major, brick-and-mortar retailers which have a website that can't even tell me if a specific product is in stock at a given physical store location. Why would you not use your website to leverage and support sales at your own stores? If I wanted to order online and wait, I'd use Amazon. Sometimes I need something FAST and I just need to know, before I drive all over town, whether or not it's in stock. Yet (some) companies still make it a total pain in the ass to find this out. I swear, some companies have their online shit set up like it's designed to compete with their own brick and mortar assets, rather than complement them.

People in their pajamas past 8 am anywhere that isn't their own house. I mostly work in the field or from home, but I do go in to the office once a week or so. Few weeks ago, everybody was wearing flannel sweat pants and tee shirts. I had forgotten that it was "pajama day". Fucking pajama day. Pajama fucking day. Jesus wept.

Greatest Christmas ever. Back in 2001 when my oldest granddaughter was 4 or so, she and our daughter and son-in-law came to our house in San Antonio for Christmas. Of course we set out milk and cookies as tradition dictated, but added a couple of small surprises. We had deliberately gathered some ash and soot and sprinkled it around the fire place and put some footprints around courtesy of my rubber rain boots. We then took a piece of red velvet and ripped it and hung it on the fireplace screen, of course it had smudges of ash and soot on it also. The next morning when she came downstairs she immediately checked to see it "Santa" got the milk and cookies (I he sure did!), and when she saw the footprints, soot and ash along with the torn part of the Santa suit she just freaked out. I've never seen a child more excited or happy on Christmas. /csb Edit, my wife and I were reminiscing about this last night and there was part of that special Christmas that I had forgotten. Around 7:30 or 8 on Christmas Eve my wife had to go to HEB, (believe it or not it was open) and ran into a Santa Claus driving a red Mustang convertible which I believe was a 64 65 model. She said he was the most real looking Santa Claus she had ever seen and told him where we lived and asked him to please come by the house. The only thing I was upset is she gave him $300 to do it. So anyway now that she is letting me in on the scheme. When he knocked at the door I told our oldest daughter to answer the door for me that I was busy. She and the granddaughter went to answer the door and I don't know who had the most shocked look on their face the daughter or granddaughter. The funny part was is after he wished everybody a Merry Christmas he went out to his Mustang, and of course he already had a pretty good buzz on, and he started laughing going ho ho ho Santa's lost his stinking keys.

Because the NFL is populated by a bunch of monkey see monkey do idiots. All they know are little pieces of conventional wisdom without knowing the reason for those tidbits. "Defensive tackles can't be short." Those idiots didn't realize that the reason that is the conventional wisdom is because short people usually have short arms and that makes it hard to keep the OL off of them. But defensive tackles are in the business of leverage and if you can find a player with a low center of gravity (short body) but long arms (keep the OL off) then you have found the perfect physical prototype for the position. But the scouts and the NFL saw HE SHORT SO HE NO GOOD AT PLAY DEFENSIVE LINE because, again, they're idiots.

This is kind of cherry picking. Quick look at 247 shows #2-5 haven't signed and three of those four are considering/leaning USC. 22 is also a selective cutoff given that SC signed 23 and 24. Still, the overall point stands. California is wide open. Texas should be one of the schools best positioned to exploit that. And it also makes you wonder - if Helton was struggling after perennial top 5-10 classes, how's it gonna look when a bunch of elite talent isn't coming in to reload?

I used to work in a school zone. My job was where it began and ended pretty much. Cops sat up in our parking lot. S person might be going a few over. Cop darts across both sides of traffic and proceeds to go over 60mph in a school zone to catch this person going a few over. Who is endangering whom? But all to extort money from people. I get people going pretty fast in the school zone. But not far trivial speeds over the limit. I'm all for a slower speed in a school zone, but that is really a hold over from the days when people walked to their neighborhood school. Now 99% of kids are bussing it in. You just don't have the numbers of kids converging at all intersections to a school.

you knew the derel?

People in front of me at grocery store that still write checks.

Have to admit, Home Depot is the shit when it comes to that. You can go on their website, and it'll tell you if it's in stock, and if you select a store, it'll tell you what isle and bin it's in even. Comes in real handy when you're looking for the odd things that you buy once every 10 years if that.

Glad you are doing something about it ETHorn. I remember my last drunk like it was yesterday. I sat on the couch and thought "I just can't do this anymore. How in the hell did I end up here?" I downloaded a copy of the AA Big Book the next morning. I kept finding myself on every page I read. The following morning I was at my first AA meeting. That was a year and 10 months ago. Best decision I ever made. Good luck man. Keep us posted.

It’s a shitty thing to do to the university that got you where you are, not to mention fucking over every single one of your teammates.

So that's where Hugo Stiglitz was the other day. Wondered why he hadn't posted as much the last few days.

Yeah, because the way college football has been for 100 years really suck. Fucking “leaders of tomorrow.” Shoot me now.

It's pretty clearly P, not cdt23. ztejas is cdt23. He's always on the verge of calling everyone who doesn't agree with his views a racist, but usually doesn't have the temerity to do it. I'll say this, watching someone actually defend Chuckles, at this point, as anything but a fucking rube in the chair, is something to behold. We're talking about the worst coach in Texas history, by a wide margin, sandwiched on both sides by coaches with better records. Even the basics are in sharp relief on this one.

I’m dwelling on it because national media, Texas haters (aggy & gooner in particular), and USF fans were trying to chastise the fans and administration as if we were being oh so unfair to Charlie. Herb calling us a cesspool and insinuating that Charlie is gonna go somewhere else and spread his wings with out big bad mean Texas and thier big greedy evil donors holding him back. I’m kinda tired of being told I have unrealistic expectations when I’m expecting a program with the numerous advantages and resources we have to atleast make a fuckin bowl. That’s my only point here. I like Charlie as a person and hope he does well tbh but he’s just better as a coordinator imho

I think I found Thatguy

Charlie's ban was on guns. He didn't have a problem with knives, as evidenced by all the times he brought one to a gunfight and we lost by 40 points

My father in law was taking me to see his new travel trailer today because it was so boring at their house that it was an excuse to get out for a minute. As we back out of their garage, he freakin side swiped the hell out of my truck. I saw for a split second that we were way to close to my truck and then, crunch. He wasnt even watching his side mirror and just backing out blindly because this all could've easily been avoided. I'm pissed because of all the hassle this is going to turn into now. I don't even enjoy going over there for holiday meals because their food is usually weird and mediocre. So we drive 4 hours round trip for a mediocre meal and a scratched and dented truck. Fun day.

If you’re in Pecan Plantation with me I seent you.

Starved myself and am ready to head out to the Driskell to completely gorge on turkey and prime rib. Then I might just have to drink myself to sleep while watching football afterward. No political discussions or nonstop Fox News stream ftw.

I’m in Granbury with the in laws. Had sex with the wife in the morning woods. Don’t care. Had sex.

took the boys and the wife to Tahoe for skiing and poker. Best thanksgiving ever.

Not a trump card IMO, but I’d like to see it happen. I think it’s happening regardless of Trump. Georgia is likely hopeless but cmon Texas! You gonna let Oklahoma show you up?

I have high hopes. I never listened to Gaga and still don't, but I heard her in 2011 when I was listening to Stern. The girl has chops. I've listened to this a few times.

Maybe you should test drive a new wife.
