  1. It’s even worse than all those other elite guys signing somewhere else when they actually want to be here
  2. Good guys, 38-17 WRs: 420
  3. For the record, I will fully cooperate with all federal and international authorities. Love ya, Imma, but I’m not ending up in a gulag for you!
  4. No shit! That was within minutes of me posting
  5. Only one drink on the table. Along with the rest of the getup, I'm going to say that's his purse.
  6. Absolutely. I'd expect him to endorse Trump at any moment. There will be no apology
  7. For the record, when people talk about getting someone from the portal, they aren't only talking about dudes that enter without having any idea where they'd like to go. Getting someone "from the portal" just means getting a player from another school. Not that we would ever tamper or anything. That would be absurd, and I'll hear none of it.
  8. Every time I see this thread, I cringe. I’ve refused to participate, but I’m at the end of my rope here. Over the last year, maybe year and a half … washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, deep freeze, one full HVAC system, pool pump/filter, Polaris pump, Polaris, (and if these count, Roomba and primary Dyson vacuum), and I’ve got a service call out for our other HVAC that’s stopped cooling. Fml
  9. Surprise guest is Marky Mark?!?
  10. If nothing else, the kid deserves an A+ for how well his shoes were tied
  11. I’m guessing he was only processed like a regular illegal crossing. Don’t think they detain everybody these days. I think they briefly hold them, set a court date where they can make their case for asylum or whatever, then release them. Probably didn’t have it in their system that an arrest warrant was issued from a country we expedite to. But the name eventually got flagged, and he was subsequently arrested for real.
  12. Nice boat. When do I get invited out?
  13. Jesus. With an outboard motor?
  14. Something has stuck with me for a long time, but for some reason it just popped back into my head and it got me into some deep thoughts on the matter. Many years back, I was talking to one of the older attorneys in my firm. I'd say she was in her late 50s or so. I referred to someone in the district clerk's office as a girl (e.g., "one of the girls in the office is pulling that for me") and she corrected me by saying "women, one of the women is working on it." I took her meaning. I guess it can comes across as ... belittling? chauvinistic? derogatory? something like that. I wouldn't say "one of the boys in the office is pulling that for me." I'd say "one of the guys..." But "boys and girls" are the common word pairing. Same with "men and women" or "ladies and gentlemen." But for guys, I guess it's "guys and gals?" I would never say "one of the gals over there is helping me." That sounds way worse. In a formal setting, like if I was in court, I think I'd say "one of the women" but I'd still say "one of the guys" if referring to a man. I think "guys" is generally acceptable in both a casual and formal context. I can't picture myself ever saying "one of the men in the office," but that's technically the equivalent word. Anyway, so my random thought on the matter: "Is there even a casual, female equivalent to "guys"? If not, is "girls" actually derogatory or offensive in every context when referring to an adult female?
  15. I bought an antique MacGregor putter at Hancock golf course back in the 70's so this hits close to home
  16. So many random thoughts about this story. That’s a pretty good distance away from the guard both to the street. Coming back a second time, probably because nobody returned fire the first time, sounds like kids going home and bragging about it, somebody calling their bullshit, and tagging along with them for a second pass. How do they know the shooters have no connection to the military if they don’t know who the shooters are. Our police carry assault rifles all the time. Our military base security only carries 9mm? Even after they allegedly added additional security personnel following the first shooting?
  17. The Piranha franchise always has some grade-A nude scenes
  18. I got that reference. First time it came on, my wife just said to me: "nobody has ever landed their dream job in Ohio."
  19. They’re between $4-$8k a piece. Sounds pretty damn cheap to me considering they can probably carry a lot of explosive material. I like to picture it walking into a building with a stack of anti-tank mines on its back, reaching around to grab one, setting it on the ground, and then stepping on the pressure trigger.
  20. Don’t kink shame, bro
  21. Wait. Wut?
  22. Dude. Pounds per square inch. There’s like 20 square inches in that tire, and the recommended level is 35 PSI. Those tires weigh 700 pounds when inflated.
  23. It really is awful. This far into the match, I still keep catching myself almost root for Germany. Neither uniforms make sense unless the camera is zoomed in on our ladies, but from a distance (as the majority of the match is viewed) it'd be better if they just switched uniforms entirely.
  24. Galveston to Austin ~3.5 hours Galveston to Baton Rouge ~4.5 hours Galveston to College Station ~2.5 hours Can't imagine travel time is that big of a factor when looking at these three. It would certainly eliminate Oregon and USC though
  25. That’s an interesting point that’s been on my mind for some time now. After the first few months of watching drones dropping grenades, I got pretty desensitized to the violence. But at some point, it started to shift back. I think I needed to be desensitized first before I could really process my thoughts on the overall aspects of war. I came to a very simple, and obvious, conclusion. It’s absolutely crazy that one person can just decide to star a war that causes so much death, destruction, and pain for so many people. That so many of that person’s citizens just go along with it when they have no desire to be there is fascinating, for lack of a better word. I understand going to war when you’ve been attacked and your family is threatened. But just because the leader of your country tells you to? And that’s been happening throughout history. It’s all so … pointless.
