  1. Fun fact.... There is a restaurant in Maryville, TN named REO Cheesewagon. They started asa food truck but now have a store front. They make awesome grilled cheese sandwiches and soup.
  2. 1929 called and would like it's historical precedent back.
  3. He is the best player in baseball today. That is not in doubt.
  4. I sitll can't call him GOAT but he's pretty freaking close. My issue is still longevitity and if he's still producing in 5 years, sure. And I don't mean producing like this. Just good solid numbers. Last night was something though.
  5. Not 25% of Walmart revenue.... 25% of all SNAP dollars are spent at Walmart. https://www.newsweek.com/walmart-set-to-lose-billions-from-snap-benefits-stopping-in-november-10945862
  6. Odds on where her husband is using his GI Bill benefits: Meat judging at Blinn Junior College - 25 to 1 Ethical Journalism at the University of Austin - 15 to 1 Typewriter maintenance at the Rocco Club School - 10 to 1 Gunsmithing at the Sonoran Desert Instititute - 2 to 1
  7. Until JD is POTUS and has the entire federal treasury at his fingertips.
  8. Toss in Katie Britt and you have less than one functioning brain between the four of them.
  9. Susan Collins can suck it.
  10. And it will be televised. [Dweezil Zappa] Don't touch that dial. [/Dweezil Zappa] Who knew Running Man was a documentary.
  11. I recommend Hornfischer any time someone asks forward WWII book. Its such an amazing retelling.
  12. For guests. Right.... Just like I used to invite my friends over to sit on my balcony to have ajust to have a beer and shoot the shit. That same balcony that overlooked the backyard of the Hardin House.
  13. Sooners.
  14. I don't always carry a quiver but when I do, there's 2 field hockey sticks, a persimmon Wilson 3 wood and a fraternity approved paddle.
  15. Go on.... I'm almost there....
  16. I had that happen once...
  17. How does one "lose" a SCAR?
  18. Honestly, as much as a loss would have made Trump meltdown and that would have been fun to see, Milei getting the win might have been for the better. Historically, the proof is in the pudding that Argentina will continue to be a cluterfuck. The $20b has already morphed into $40b. When that's not enough? Who knows what happens then.
  19. When I was in my early 40's I had that "These guys are old enough to be my kids" moments and started to care a little less. I'm 55 now and it's wont be that long until they could be my grandkids. Now, when one of them does something dumb off the field or on, I just don't let it get to me anymore. Not my rodeo, not my clowns. I was in Austin on T/W this past week and was in West Campus dropping one of the Macanudo-ettes off at her friend's apartment in West Campus. Damn, I felt really, really old and extremely out of place.
  20. I will continue to stand by my idea that a mini series about the Pacific naval battles would be kick ass. Episode 1 - The Japanese planning and rationalization for the attacks on Pearl Harbor and other IJN attacks in December 1941. Episode 2 - The days before Pearl as the IJN left Japan and got into position Epsiode 3 - The attack on Pearl plus Clark/Subic, Malaya, Guam, etc. Episode 4 - The aftereffects of Pearl, HMS Prince of Wales and Renown, Wake Island and then the lead up to Coral Sea. Epsidoe 5 - Coral Sea and losing the Lexington, getting Yorktown back to Pearl and patched up in time to head out for Midway and giving the codebreakers at Pearl more credit for breaking the IJN code Epsidoe 6 - Midway Episode 7 - Guadalcanal sea battles and coastwatchers Episode 8 - Philipine Sea. Mitscher's wreckless but ballsy "turn on the lights". Episode 9 - Leyte Gulf. Taffy 3 is the star here with the Battle off Samar getting the attention it deserves. Emergence of kamikaze attacks. Episode 10 - Okinawa, the ramp up of kamikaze attacks, sinking of the Yamato and then just this footage of the Missouri pulling into Tokyo Harbor and flag officers arriving on board https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/battleship-uss-missouri-pulling-into-tokyo-bay-fleet-news-footage/169568035 Roll credits on the number of men, ships and planes involved on all sides of the conflict. Losses, etc. I could justify this being 12-16 episodes because some of those could be split into multi-parts and I didn't throw in stuff like the Java Sea battles, Santa Cruz, a bunch of other smller engagements, sub warfare and the Indianapolis delivering the bomb to Tinian and the aftermath of that.
  21. It has been quite the experience to see our offense struggle. If the Oline is having trouble, rolling the pocket, bootlegging in general and more,quicker checkdowns to the RBs are the way to go.
  22. Die Hard gets the best Christmas movie nod. T2 is the running for best action along with Predator..
