  1. Jefferson is other worldly.
  2. Didn't he have to spend $25mm+ to get his plane back off the ground? I thought it needed a new engine and an extensive overhaul. I know that's a drop in the bucket compared to how much he's "stollen" from the GQP, but it's a start.
  3. Lulz. Well, I guess 45+ years ago as a kid in MN my grampa didn't have time for all of the etiquette. When his hands hit his knees it everyone was heading for the door like the building was on fire. Greatest memory of Grampa was watching as he and Gramma pulled up in their big Chrysler New Yorker. Except they didn't stop. They slowed, and then drove off. I watched this from the living room window and called out "hey Dad, Gram and Grampa just drove by and left. Aren't they coming for dinner?" My old man responded by asking me what time it was. I glanced at the clock and said "4 o'clock." He said "look at it again. What's the EXACT time." It was like 3:58. He said "when it's 4 o'clock on the dot, they'll be here." Sure enough, Gramps just drove around the block, pulled in at 4, and when they came in the house he checked his watch against our wall clock to make sure they were in sync.
  4. Once you've uttered "welp, I s'pose" after placing your hands on your knees in a Midwestern home you're required to exit within 90 seconds. It's damn near law in Minnesota! How could they violate this rule?
  5. The gold standard. It will definitely be missed.
  6. Nah. I just have to promise not to let the nephew get too drunk on mimosas because he & his sister are going to their mom's immediately afterwards. Like it's my responsibility to keep a junior in college from drinking too much before visiting his overly high strung mom?
  7. Man, that really sucks. Glad your wife and daughter are ok. And fuck the guilty lady with a rusty nail. Sounds like a piece of shit. Hell, the stranger who hit me couldn't be nicer. She was crying over what she had done & genuinely contrite. We've exchanged text messages a few times just checking in & making sure everything is ok, making sure insurance info is correct, etc. She's actually restored some of my faith in their being good, responsible people out there. I just found out yesterday that our adult niece & nephew are coming by on Christmas eve for a pancake brunch & mimosas. That will be fun. But now it's time for me to go pick up the HEB curbside order. Something tells me they'll be busier than most Saturday 7AM slots.
  8. Oooh, she just dropped a BIG HINT. Remember to act really surprised when you unwrap that book on Christmas morning.
  9. Not family, but nothing like having a lady t-bone my front end near the Domain today as I returned from the office holiday party. Apparently I caused confusion by using my turn signal. No injuries and she was terribly concerned and took full responsibility so about as easy of a bad situation as you can have. But now we'll get to spend the holidays wondering if they'll total my pristine car w/ less than 48K miles on it because the side airbags--but not steering wheel--deployed. I'd tie a good one on tonight but I've gotta work tomorrow.
  10. Thanks for the reminder. Will definitely watch this.
  11. Racist Daniel Figurelli must be running out of conspiracy theories to explain why Texas is drinking up aggy's milkshake today.
  12. You're basically paying thirty bucks to take e-waste off of RCA's hands.
  13. After a few hundred pics with that look on his face someone said "here, put these Blue Blocker XL shades on" as an act of mercy.
  14. You mean WHEN he gets elected, right? Because it's totally going to happen.
  15. Nebraska had one reason to be hopeful before yet another long, cold, bitter winter: their women providing them some oride in the form of a championship in volleyball [emoji968] Oh well. Texas--for the umpteenth time--was significantly better in every facet of the game. Our women get to celebrate their championship for a 2nd consecutive year while enjoying the spoils & comforts that co.e with being a winner in Austin. [emoji869] Fuck off, corn.
  16. Doesn't even rank in the top 200 choke jobs of all times by the Vikes. FML.
  17. That was Bengal on Bengal violence!
  18. Are you kidding me?
  19. I'll raise a toast the day he has a career ending injury. POS deserves a compound fracture that makes Theismann's break look like a hang nail.
  20. Mullen's two braindead INTs in the 1st half with the Vikes in easy FG range are going to bite them in the ass.
