  1. Batter popped foul to Reynolds in foul territory. he just tracked it down fell by the LF wall. 1st base runner tried to advance. RR stands up and fires to 2nd. Called out on the tag, but upon review runner was safe by a fingertip.
  2. It may be all the aggy beer I’ve drank, but Willin’ is second only to Yellow Rose for “Houston area” IPAs, imo.
  3. Florida, proud castle doctrine / stand your ground state. “He’s lucky he’s not dead.” Don’t try and reconcile the two. It’s not the citizens job to think. The friendly neighborhood Barney Fife is here to protect and serve...Flashbang and sprinkle crack.
  4. I thought the CEO envelopes went; blame predecessor, reorganize, prepare 3 envelopes.
  5. ^ He’s going to be sentenced to flying a cargo plane out of Hong Kong?
  6. Think I bitched about that one on TOS or upthread somewhere. Amazon - slowly changed the way we read, the way we shop, and for some consume all media. Phone companies - slowly changed the way we interact with the world around us. Social Media Companies - changed the way we communicate Uber/lyft - fairly rapidly changed the way we travel. Tesla - while the leader in the pack for EVs has 1.5% market share in ~15 years of business. Impressive, but not MARKET DISRUPTION! You and your frat bro selling graphic tees online isn’t disruption. You changing the way Initech puts the cover letter on the TPS report before it goes out isn’t disruption. You selling an app or software to 3 new customers or 30000 customers “doesn’t move the needle” and you aren’t a disrupting shit.
  7. Not a barrel bourbon expert by any means , but do know after a couple tours at various places the argument TX maker utilize is - there are more drastic daily swings in Texas than KY or TN. If the daily max/min are swinging 20+ that barrel is “breathing” and the unaged bourbon is in and out of those pores a lot more than if the high is 5-10 degs from the low. This year being a perfect example in Houston “winter”. Morning 45 deg jacket. Lunch 68 no jacket. Leave office 55 and falling jacket back on. Not sure how the dissolved sugars work, but the spirit is “moving” in and out of the wood & char hundreds of times more over the coarse of a 10-12 yr than a KY or TN barrel that’s only seeing those cycles as the fronts move through. Also, wouldn’t the higher summer highs mean more dissolved sugars even if they aren’t “falling out” until Dec or Jan in most of TX? If the summer months are really “bad” bourbon months wouldn’t TX from Oct-March be exceptional bourbon months? Be cool to see a sciencey article on it, but wasn’t able to find one with my google-fu.
  8. I seriously doubt tbone was indicating that he’s a September birthday that doesn’t like Eye-talian. If he was born in say the first 23 days of October though...
  9. “If somebody is firing at us we have every means and every right to fire back at them," the sheriff said. "They did what they thought was appropriate at the time.” "He's lucky he's not dead." Pre-dawn SWAT raid. Battering ram Shots fired at the door & lock Flashbang For practicing medicine without a license in a town of less than 3000. Must have gone to the academy with Art.
  10. I like bread and butter. I like toast and jam. I like all those simple things and that's why I like spam
  11. If that’s the origin story, maybe cop kid hooked on heroin started the chain of events, intentionally or not. Heroin addicts aren’t know for their superior recall of details. Or dad was grilling him and he said I get it from an old man over at 123 Fake St.
  12. I’m probably guilty of this more than I’d like to admit. TOS had ninja edits. I post and read so much from tapa I forget they’re there.
  13. On this day in 1896, colorful lawman Roy Bean staged a heavyweight championship fight on a sandbar just below Langtry, on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Bean, known as the "Law West of the Pecos," was appointed justice of the peace for Pecos County in 1882
  14. You know Moe Greene's out of the Tropicana. I have my sons Michael and Fredo running it now...I didn't want to do this, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull rank on you. I'm with the Mattress Police. There are no tags on these mattresses.
  15. At least they didn’t rape them while they slowly bled to death in their own home for 2 hours while dozens and dozens of resources saved the alleged hero cops. /fifsituational appropriateness
  16. Initiated = Intimated. Autocorrect
  17. It was a viewing of Weird Science that intimated same actor/actress different appearances discussion. That actresses name, Suzanne. “This world here, this is George's sanctuary. If Susan comes into contact with this world, his worlds collide!”
  18. Our +rep 401k rollover plans? Those managed by principal or fidelity? Take it to Becky in HR if she’s not posting pics in the Cat Lol thread?
  19. ^ Does Edmond’s or anyone track that? Have to think it’d be some combination F150 Accord Subaru Outback Yukon/Tahoe Maybes and wildcards: Lexus IS BMW 3 series Jeep Wrangler Some Minivan Ram, cause weird dodge people
  20. Sat next to Mike05. Some of both. Reckling is bigger than most though. Rice catcher bobbled an easy one by the Texas dugout/backstop. Don’t recall any other short foul pop ups last night.
