There's a place you can go When you're short on your dough, you can stay there, and I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time It's fun to stay at the YMCA It's fun to stay at the YMCA

  2. If there's a more perfect snapshot of America right now than this one, I haven't seen it. It has it all: retared DOTUS in extra long tie. Elaborate, classy, beautiful gold candelabra up and down the table, illuminating.....stacks of fucking McDonalds shit....on silver fucking White House serving trays. Have you ever imagined what America would look like if we elected a five year old president? Imagine no longer -- what you see is real.

  4. Nice post. Allow me to play devil's advocate with this gif of excellent qb play by Chad Kelly:

  5. For obvious demographic reasons, the SEC region produces the largest pool of talent at most positions. The ESPN hype helps the SEC mostly keep them at home. But a glaring exception to this is the QB position. Start with the fact that less than 10% of the QBs in the NFL come from the SEC. That is a shockingly low number and less than half what they send to the league at other positions. To me the explanation is simple but the supporting factors are complex. My take is they don’t get great raw material, the coaching and development are far from top notch and the QBs are not challenged by SEC defenses. This is obscured by the overall talent surrounding the QBs and offenses that don’t make heavy demands on QBs. It starts with the fact that the best teams in the SEC do not run complex passing attacks. Few of them run passing spread at all and none do it well. HS football tends to emulate the top college programs in their area so this filters down to the HS level. In contrast, spread has become the dominant offense in the Big XII and is widely used by many excellent HS programs in the State of Texas. Southlake Carroll started 20 years ago, with others following quickly; Westlake and Lake Travis are some of the prime examples today. Bottom line: Texas produces well coached HS QBs ready to direct and lead complex passing offenses. Look at the freshman campaigns of Bradford, Colt, Mayfield and Mahomes among others. The core SEC region (pre-expansion) doesn’t do much of that. The fact that 2 of the 3 leading passers in the SEC are from Hawaii and most of the QBs in the league are from outside the core area is a tacit admission that there’s not that much home-grown talent at this key position. In addition to the two Hawaiians, both Alabama schools brought in players from Texas and others hail from MI, NJ, OH and OK. To top things off the best home-grown HS talent of the last decade+ chose to play in the ACC. To further reinforce the point, Bama recruited top 5 pro-style QBs 3 consecutive years this decade. They had #4 twice (David Cornwell from OK, Cooper Bateman from UT) and #2 (Blake Barnett from CA). This was followed by the #4 dual threat (Hurts) who came from Texas and Tua from Hawaii. This is clearly a pattern. The bottom line is that in total opposition to the talent picture at most positions, the SEC is a talent-POOR region for HS quarterbacks. The QB situation is a longstanding issue for the SEC. Their best passing QBs of the last 20 years are a Texan (Stafford from Highland Park) and 2 sons of an NFL pro bowler who got plenty of coaching at home (Mannings). Cam Newton is arguably the only elite SEC QB produced by HS programs in the region for many years. The next best SEC QB of the last 10 years to originate in the Southeast is probably AJ McCarron, which pretty much says it all. McCarron was massively hyped, finally drafted in the 5th round and looks like a career backup – which truly exemplifies QB play in the SEC. QB development is not a strength for SEC programs to put it mildly. Of those 4 top QB recruits to Bama I listed earlier, only Hurts and Tua made much impact. And no one would call either one a polished passer against disguised modern defenses. Tua and Fromm looked polished until they faced superior pass defenses – which they never do in the SEC. Plenty of guys put up big numbers in that league without being great passers: see aforementioned AJ McCarron. Remember that Jevan Snead was one of the best passers in the SEC the moment he stepped on campus in Oxford. The SEC QBs in the NFL further illustrate the point. Two (Eli and Stafford) played college ball before the radical changes on offense became widespread. Stafford was trained in the Texas HS system at Highland Park, Eli at his father’s knee. Neither required much training at the college level; they were good from day 1. Dak has the characteristic weaknesses of an SEC QB: poor ability to read coverages and blitzes. Cam Newton is really the only counter-example. For a long time, the offensive strategy for the better SEC teams has been to bludgeon opponents with a gigantic O Line and big, powerful RBs. They would mix in deep shots just to keep you honest. That’s why you heard Bama, Georgia and LSU QBs described as bus drivers or game managers for years. This has begun to change recently but mostly at the margin. Passing has increased but mostly in the form of run game extensions like WR screens and low risk short passes like quick hitches against off coverage. With great athletes at WR this can result in huge YAC plays but does little to prepare passers to throw against 8 man drops and disguised coverages generally. If you watch the video of the decision making process that Mike Leach instills in his QBs, the difference is like night and day for development. SEC QBs generally read one defender, either pre-snap for short passing or the CB when throwing the deep ball at single coverage. That style requires a strong and accurate arm but not too much thinking. For reference, the entire SEC, which historically spans 9 states has 4 starting QBs in the NFL: Eli, Stafford, Dak and Cam. High schools in the State of Texas alone have produced double digits. Austin area HS programs have 3: Drew Brees, Nick Foles and Mayfield. Don’t expect anything to change until the leading powers in the SEC radically overhaul and modernize their passing games.

  6. An enraged Cletus reverses the camera on his phone and starts recording... ”fuck you, Twitter. You can’t ban President Trump and expect real Americans to sit back while you, the Democrats, liberals, the deep state, the FBI, women, spicks, coons, faggots, sissies, godless heathens, ragheads, dots, nerds and my brother that finished college continue to destroy America! Trump is the only person doing anything about it, and you want to silence him! To DESTROY HIM! To DESTROY AMERICA!!! Well... Fuck you twitter! We patriots will NOT BE SILENCED! And we damn sure ain’t gonna let ya’ll destroy America!! This here is just a small taste of what’s to come if you don’t put President Trump back on Twitter RIGHT NOW!!!!” Cletus sets his phone down and while still recording, douses it with lighter fluid and sets it on fire. He then gives the camera of his phone a middle finger salute, draws a semi-automatic pistol and empties the clip into the phone, rendering it into a shattered, smoldering ruin. Panting as his rage dissipates, Cletus reaches down to pick up his phone so as to post the video on YouTube when it dawns on Cletus: He has just destroyed the video as well as his means to post it or any of his other marginal thoughts online. “FUCKING GODDAMMED LIBERALS!!!!” The irony that Cletus, 43 year old oilfield worker from Eldorado, TX, has finally performed his first act that actually helps makes America great again is lost on him.

Look, if you want to spend time on this thread you need to memorize all of the commits, their Twitter handles, their mom’s twitter handles, their Instagram and Snapchat handles, the names of their coaches, the names of their best friends, and whether they have girlfriends or not. Just don’t be obsessed with them. That’s creepy.

  16. From Reddit, so take it for what it's worth, but the dude sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Do you want to take a realistic look at the proposed wall? I can help. I am a construction estimator that specialized in reinforced concrete for 12 years. The wall promised on the campaign trail was to be 30’-0” tall above grade, and made of concrete and rebar. To prevent tunneling, the wall should extend at a minimum 10’-0” below grade. Now, this wall is not a retaining wall and will, for the most part, have even backfill on both sides. So I would recommend a thickness of 18” to prevent easily breaking through it. Let’s say the footing is 15’ wide and 24” thick. We won’t even worry about the rebar right now. The border with Mexico is over 1900 miles long. Lets say that due to existing natural deterrent elements like canyon walls, that we only need to do 75% of the border. 1900 miles x .75= 1,425 miles Typically when we talk about concrete wall construction, we speak in linear feet. Let’s convert it. 1,425 miles x 5,280 feet in a mile= 7,524,000 linear feet Say that the following things have already happened: -Court battles over eminent domain when we take people’s land to build the wall -Site engineering, architectural design, and structural design -Soil testing for a 7+ million foot long job site -Newly constructed roads that can handle fully loaded concrete trucks and rigs carrying excavators -Concrete batch plants that can produce the types of volumes we will be discussing in a paragraph or two So, it’s day one and we are ready to start our wall. Say that we do such a good job today, that we get an incredibly ambitious 500 (!) linear feet of the wall built in the first day. We excavated 10’ into the ground, we formed our footings, we set our reinforcing bars, we poured the footing, it fully set, we formed our walls with 40’ high aluminum forms backset to dead men at every 10’ or so to prevent blowouts, we set our reinforcing in the forms, we got the pump trucks to the site on our new roads and they pumped the concrete 30’ into the air to go in the top of the forms. The walls set too, and we stripped our forms and backfilled all the grade back to normal. Now, imagine we work every single day until the job is done. Every weekend, every holiday. We celebrate Christmas by pouring another 500 linear feet. We have perfect weather every day and we do not have a single problem that sets us back a day.Let’s see how long it takes us to finish this thing! 7,524,000 LF/500 LF per day= 15,048 days/365 days per year= 41.23 years. In absolute perfect, some would say inconceivable conditions, we would finish the wall in 2060.

  18. My wife is constantly walking around the house turning off lights when she gets hot. I tell her the light bulbs are not giving off enough heat to cause her to be hot, she needs to turn the air conditioner up. She believes I am completely full of shit and that by turning off the lights she will be cool and comfortable. Last night she was complaining about being cold and I told her to just turn on the lights and she should be fine. Tone.

  20. It was my daughter's 12th birthday a few days ago. My wife bought her balloons in the shape of a "1" and a "2". They have kept their helium since we bought them. My wife decided to throw them away today. I come home to find the two balloons floating above our garbage can with the ribbon stuck inside the can to keep them from flying away.

  22. When us "younger" folks sit back and look at the big picture of how things are playing out, the though should be that this is what is going on behind the scenes. Trump has his optic talking point to force a full on immigration reform bill from Congress that covers everything single thing from border security, to work visas, to current illegals, to family immigration, to HIB's, and anything else that I left out. At the end of the day, Democrats aren't budging (whether you like it or not) so it becomes very simple with options for Trump and it is now in his court completely: 1)Keep the government closed 2)Shove 2 Big Macs up his ass and see if he can keep from eating the rest of the day 3)Call Mother and order her to have Pence sleep under his desk again 4)Continue to yell "DO SOMETHING!" at his mushroom dick ever since it became an innie That's it. These are the four routes that we can go. I wish all of the decisions in life had this few options.

  23. And that's exactly what they should do. There's a myth, believed by millions, that the government is just a leech that doesn't do anything. Fine. Shut down the whole. Fucking. Thing. No more air travel. No more ships coming into or leaving harbors. Real-deal OPEN BORDERS (nobody should man our international bridges). No more medicare for the old folks. No more SS payments processed. No more SNAP benefits to poor folks. No tax refunds. Nothing. Zip. Nada. People are going to die. Fuck, people NEED to die, for the moron class to realize that "huh, turns out the government actually DOES do something." Air travel should shut down completely, and ASAP. Enough of this bullshit. Trump wants to play stupid games, then award him stupid prizes.

  24. And it's 10X harder in the difficult areas/terrain. Bottom line, it's a buttfuckingly stupid idea. And it always has been. Limited physical barriers in places where they will be most effective. That's what makes sense, and that's pretty much what we already have. If there's a proposal that says "hey, there's a 5 mile gap here where more barrier would really help," then present that. "WALL!" is not a proposal. It's a fucking slogan.

  25. Seth McFarlane absolutely destroyed Trump last night on Family Guy. Featuring Melania, Huckabeef Sandwich, Mitch McConnell, Pence, The Kush, Tiffany, Ivanka and Putin. Also of note : very tiny baby hands, cotton candy hair, grabbed someone by the pussy, a dig at him being a "billionaire" and perfectly imitated the hand motions and mannerisms.
