  1. I came within 5 feet of a lion when we did the safari thing. The ones in the national parks are somewhat indifferent to humans in vehicles. Those guys sitting up front know what they’re doing. I also talked to a guy who was a guide in Namibia who had to shoot a lion when one of his clients got out of the vehicle and tried to pet the cubs. Mamma was not happy about that. Should’ve shot the client, but that would probably be bad for business. Do what you’re told to do, follow the rules, and it’s a good time.
  2. The whole slavery thing was kinda sorta an internship is a bridge far far far far too far for me. I suppose I have probably looked the other way while religious wackjobs have gradually taken over my state, and that’s on me. But keeping this bullshit out of textbooks is a hill I’m willing to die on.
  3. If you were staying close to the slopes it was an alarm clock. They would go out before the lifts opened for the day, see if anything looked like it had the potential for an avalanche, and if it did, blow it up while nobody was on the mountain.
  4. They’ve been doing that for a long time. Like I’m 48 and they were doing it when I was 8.
  5. She’s very cool. She’s really good friends with the SIL. She walked into their house for a party and, loud enough for everyone to hear including her, I told the wife “that’s Meadow fucking Soprano.”
  6. Wasn’t really a flex. We just tend to head south when we go out.
  7. Shouldn’t corporations be able to run their business any way they want to? Free market economy and all that? I’m confuddled.
  8. Small passenger plane and Mogadishu are a bad combo.
  9. People just hate Stockton because he’s the dirtiest mf’er to ever play in the NBA. In a popularity contest, which is what that was, you probably shouldn’t take someone who everyone hates. Rockets, Mavs, Spurs fans can’t agree on much, but you will find a strong consensus on hoping Stockton gets hit by a truck tomorrow.

  11. I’ve lived in Texas for close to 50 years, and for 40+ of those years I peacefully coexisted with illegal immigrants. Our economy would struggle mightily without them. I still peacefully coexist with these folk, but this wasn’t an issue until a New Yorker decided to run for President.
  12. I’ve been on a ranchero sauce kick lately, otherwise that looks pretty good. Never been there, may have to give it a shot the next time I find myself in southern Oklahoma.
  13. The objective is to appease the base.
  14. Mitch’s team won. He was on vacation or something so I made his last few picks for him.
  15. I thought we had Mike. My memory is not what it once was.
  16. We did this on the old site. Mike won.
  17. Mine have one solely for the XMas decorations, but they no longer have the energy to go full Xmas anymore. They were in the attic for a long time, but dad can’t climb the ladder anymore. Or get on the ladder to hang lights. Still pay for the storage unit though. Mom does have a really good collection of Nieman Marcus Santas, so I suppose it’s not a total waste. I suppose when the time comes that I will distribute the Santas amongst the family and throw everything else away.

  19. Being attacked by a GSD trained to attack is near the bottom of how I want to go. A great whit shark would be quicker. You’re dead in a couple of seconds. A GSD would take a minute or two.
  20. I’ve always thought the shopping mall would be my choice in such a situation. Get a little distance at the last minute, blast up to the 3rd level of the parking garage, park by the mall entrance, and disappear into the crowd.
