  1. Especially in the context of kids "that are pretty much done with HS once they start driving". I grew up in backwoods southeast Texas and every kid I knew that dropped out has some sort of learning disability and didn't have the support in place to help them through that. Sure, let's take a bunch of kids that couldn't hack algebra and high school english and cut them loose on complicated and dangerous machinery. I love how the right wing bootstrap brain works. Kid is struggling in school so instead of making sure we have resources in place to help them stay in school and get an education, the solution is to send them out into the workplace doing menial jobs.
  2. Over/under on how many people won't go see it because Falcon was "a DEI hire"
  3. He's Vance's Epstein. McIngvale's Island
  4. I would say Bob Stoops but I just don't think we can handle any more deficit spending for all the bags of dicks he would require
  5. It's not like Biden was putting out commercials to assasinate Trump. Just because someone tried to take him out doesn't make him any less of a threat to the country. I'd stay the course.
  6. Could the chinaman be the issue this time?
  7. To think morons want these same type of people running the fed govt
  8. Was this apartment out in Lakeway? Or maybe the cop lives out in Steiner so is accustomed to wine stains around the house
  9. the host is kinda annoying but showing all the active tornado warnings
  10. watching blue shed Jeff and he's showing a bunch of water spouts about 30 miles off shore of Freeport and thinks there is going to be a lot of tornado action as those bands come ashore
  11. Officially a cat 1 hurricane again as of 11pm
  12. Joel Osteen was spotted chaining up the doors on the church so you know shit is getting serious for Houston
  13. There is a clear solution to avoiding sharks in the ocean
  14. well, the folks in Rockport know where to head at least
  15. Sure, there was a good bit but I don't think they overdid it IMO. I even think they poked fun at the idea when he went into the hotel to get a room and started to run a con, then just said ahh fuck it, I'm tired. Just give me a room.
  16. I didn't think it was that bad except the plot was pretty thin. Like @Red Five said, Kevin Bacon as a dirty cop was pretty terribad. I wasn't expecting an Ocean's 11 plot twist but shit was predictable from the very beginning. I was just hoping it wasn't another Coming to America sequel with a ton of recycled shit
  17. Thread bump as I just spent this last week up in Branson with my parents and my 8 and 13 yr old. They rented a nice condo out in Indian Point that was only a short 10 min car ride into town. All my kids wanted to do was live at the go kart tracks. I've inhaled so much small engine exhaust, it probably cut a few years off my lifespan. Well worth the money for them to have fun. Rented a boat on Table Rock Lake - highly recommend Top of the Rock: We did the golf cart tour early in the week when the heat index was 105+ and it was miserable as fuck. By the end, I was just ready to get back and get in some A/C. Would have been a lot nicer if we had done it later in the week after a front blew through and the high temp was 87. Also, the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Musuem tour comes with your ticket for the canyon tour. Their website description doesn't do this place justice. TONS of Indian artifacts, like a disgusting amount that left me wondering how the fuck they were able to collect all of it. It was an overwhelming amount. Also lots of cool civil war stuff. Titanic museum: This was better than I thought it would be. They give you a boarding pass with a passenger bio and you find out if you lived or died at the end of the tour. My boys got a big kick out of the fact that out of our group, I was the only one that died. I was obsessed with everything Titanic as a kid so I already knew a good bit of the history but my kids seemed to enjoy it and actually learned a few things. I'd like to come back someday to do more outdoor stuff like play golf, rent another boat and go fishing, etc. This trip was more for my boys to have fun so I spent the most time bouncing around the go kart tracks in town. Also doesn't help that my parents both have bad knees and I am nursing a sprained achilles and it seems everything out there is stairs and hills. I was supposed to come out here a couple years ago and stay at Big Cedar Lodge via a vendor I deal with at work but at the last minute, our new VP nixed it because said vendor was about to bid on a requisition we were putting out and he didn't like the optics of them bringing us out there. In the end, the req didn't even happen so I got fucked out of an all expenses paid trip. Still a little salty about it.
  18. My ex and I were supposed to get married on the beach in Destin, just the two of us, until hurricane Ivan hit about 8 days prior. I obviously did not recognize the sign from God. Whoops. We wound up doing the same plan but in Corpus. The lady who married us, her husband and their pet schnauzer were the witnesses. If I were to ever get married again, that'd be the way I'd do it again. It was so stress free. Unlike the reception we had a few weeks later.
