  1. NC State dealt me the worst gut punch loss i've ever felt, so fuck them (and their Coastal Carolina QB) Fucking Tenn guy with the Furiosa makeup. WTF? Imma smear this eyeblack all over my face and be tactical.
  2. Basement? For real? Do you any idea how high the water table is is Hammond?
  3. Watching that game and thought it was pretty snarky. UU also lit up one of the BU receivers (and got thrown out of the game) after the Rising hit. Also, a gal in the crowd reminded me that there is a twitter account called "UU Boobs."
  4. I dislike both teams. Iowa for the Freedom Bowl and ISU for just generally fucking up and playing us like it's a Super Bowl. That's typical sports behaviour and outcomes, but so is irrational anger.
  5. This all fucking day long. I was fucking shocked some limited service hotel chain gave him a commercial spot. Fuck that guy.
  6. Hmm. Run the ball from your 20 down 3 touchdowns with 15 minutes left.
  7. Who are we kidding? They are clapping for cheap, big booty Venezuelitas to mingle with after the speeches and round tables and breakout sessions.
  8. Not so fast my friend! He's never missed from inside 30 yards.
  9. Watching the Ravens - Chief pregame. Damn, forgot all about the shooting at their Super Bowl celebration.
  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Day ^^^ This guy's son was in my unit in Okinawa (also named James Day, IIRC). He was either a captain or Lt at the time but had enlisted right out of high school, which makes sense given that the dad was enlisted as well. It you really want to have a bulletproof resume -- in front of both enlisted and officers -- in the military that'll do it.
  11. Lyndon Johnson and the "Johnson Treatment" Lyndon Johnson and Theodore Green / George Tames, 1957 / Gelatin silver print / National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, gift of Frances O. Tames / © The New York Times/George Tames In 1955, with only seven years of seniority, Johnson was elected Senate majority leader. Through his successful courting of the “old bulls” of the “southern caucus,” particularly Richard Russell of Georgia, Johnson controlled the agenda of the Senate as no majority leader has before or since. Another element of his mastery was the “Johnson treatment,” as displayed here with Senator Theodore Green of Rhode Island. Newspaper columnist Mary McGrory described it as “an incredible, potent mixture of persuasion, badgering, flattery, threats, reminders of past favors and future advantages”; Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee recalled feeling that “a St. Bernard had licked your face for an hour, [and] had pawed you all over”; and Hubert Humphrey described it as a “tidal wave.” Johnson’s most notable victory as majority leader was the passage of the 1957 Civil Rights Act, the first such legislation since Reconstruction. Rachael Penman of the National Museum of Crime and Punishment discussed this photograph by George Tames, along with other images of Lyndon Johnson, at a Face-to-Face portrait talk. The 1957 photograph is on view at the National Portrait Gallery, in the exhibition “Presidents in Waiting” on the museum’s second floor.
