  1. AND THEY ARE FUCKING DELICIOUS
  2. Sophomore year in college, walked into a buddy's dorm room and asked "hey, where's your tiny-ass roommate?" To which my buddy replies, "right there, sitting on his bed." I think I managed to apologize through the red haze on my face, but I'm not sure.
  3. He was 100% concussed. If you watch the ball on the slo-mo replay of the hit, it comes out as if he dropped it, and it comes out just before he hits the ground, without being hit by the defender at all. It comes out because Arch's hand went limp, and Arch's hand went limp because he got knocked out.
  4. My Marrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaa ....
  5. The Jims are such beauties ...
  6. So we all agree to just never fly into Reagan again, right?
  7. What a weird time, to be that highly touted (top10 in Fab55, right?), and to have fuckin VY behind you.
  8. Man, this topic just makes me sad. I have tons of empathy for both Gray and Brown. I think they played for 3 different OCs in three years? Brown got recruited over with Gray's signing, but then Mack/Davis absolutely refuse to establish a clear RB1. How was either one of them supposed to excel with all that turmoil? Then you throw in the achillieses, and it's just a sad outcome all the way around. And the inexplicable number of carries for Joe Bergeron during the same timeframe?!?!? Add me to the list for Fowler and McCullough and Eagles and Neyor and JakeSmith. Simms doesn't belong anywhere on this list, FOH with that noise.
  9. You mean that you think they'll get paid via appropriated money, managed by the same folks that just unilaterally stopped all outgoing money from all departments by usurping the Treasury? They're literally actively not paying people RIGHT NOW, previous commitments be damned. Right in front of our faces, without process of any kind, really. You think THOSE people will somehow honor a commitment drawn from thin air, not even passed by Congress, eight fucking months from now? You are not serious people. There's no debate to be had here about the 'merits' of anything because nothing is being done on merit. It's being done out of spite, or ignorance. Likely both, with a healthy dose of narcissism and outright malice.
  10. It's bonkers to me that he didn't get in. Two rings should be an auto-admit, especially with all the JAGS that have already been admitted over the years.
  11. I'm curious if I'm the highest-ranked Foosball player on Surly. I'm a complete liability against a player of any real skill, but I do carry a national ranking and i'd never lose the table in a bar or gameroom.
  12. This was a thing we really noticed; the foot traffic didn't slow down AT ALL when it rained. Folks all seemed to own a good rainjacket and good duckboots or the like. So when the rain showed up, they just dressed appropriately and went about their day. It was awesome.
  13. We lived there for six weeks last year, just in a long-term AirBnB. Your read on it is pretty spot-on. It's not NEARLY as dreary as Seattle or Portland, although still definitely in the PacNW. It's also inland, actually in a bit of a valley, which moderates the weather quite a bit. Eugene pretty regularly gets up into the 90's in the summer, and even hit 100 fora couple of days we were there. Amazing vibe to the town, incredibly friendly, etc. I found the airport perfectly serviceable - effectively two flights a day on each of the 4 major airlines, to a hub. So Seattle (Alaska), SF / Denver (United), DFW (American), and SLC (Delta), plus some regional carrier stuff. Not super-connected, but not off the grid either. I'm looking at it as a retirement conversation, so where can we perhaps build our ideal house without needing to care about schools.
  14. Just found this thread. Wife and I have been ramping up the discussions about where we should move, given the dangerous slide of Texas politics away from women's health. My wife has a few health concerns, and we've got a 10 year old daughter, and I'm more and more concerned about their safety here. Denver/Csprings and Eugene are basically our short list. I hadn't really considered the idea of two condos instead of one house, and the wife likes the idea of Santa Fe / Scottsdale in the winters, so that's on the table too (home-base likely still either D/CS or Eugene). Following along for the continued conversation!
  15. Yeah. It's clearly a personality trait; we've got three years of sideline tape on him now. From my outside view, his teammates seem to really like him - folks celebrate together, warm-ups are lively, etc. So I'm hopeful that his stoic demeanor is a strength, that it serves to calm the crew. You don't have to be fiery and loud to lead, but you do have to lead. Again, I'm hopeful.
