That’s on you for laying down osu to cover in the first game of the season against a bowl team that’s proven they’re not gonna take no shit. I woulda lost too because I was thinking the under was a safe bet. That’s why I don’t bet.

Yeah I dunno…have given up trying to predict a season and just go along for the ride. Beat Missouri State, Tulsa and Boise last year by like two touchdowns. We went 3-8, 3-8, 4-7, 5-6 my four years in Stillwater. All I know is I’m done playing CMU. Apparently the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down and I’ll be happy not playing the Gitche Gumes anymore if it can be helped.

Well sadly I am. Given his track record of successfully avoiding consequences by exploiting every opportunity to delay, it feels like the same playbook under a favorable judge. My only consolation is TS/SCI people find no humor in this shit and hope it turns out like my post last night about 2021 Bedlam…pleasantly surprised for once after years of finding every way to lose. I can’t imagine they’re going to hand over those documents to anyone not cleared for it. Just because you have TS clearance doesn’t mean you can read anything you want at TS or below.

Holy fuck I never knew I needed that version of Hans Moleman / seed bell before in my life. But I need it in my life.

This better fucking turn out like Bedlam last year where Caleb Williams ripped off a 40+ yard scramble late in the 4th, I was sure we were going to blow it once again against the dick eaters, only for a freshman Colin Oliver to scramble on all fucking fours to sack him and end the game. Hell I didn’t even trust Sanders to take a knee properly…I was sure the snap would roll back 30 yards for a safety. It’s got damn comical at this point how much clear evidence is endlessly piling up that Trump overwhelmingly deserves to go to jail for a long time but I’ve been burned so many times before that I’m fully expecting nothing of substance to happen.

It’s definitely the blurst of times

This should be the only way y’all respond to the Drive By Johnnys of CR. The rest of y’all are wasting your time and energy.

This is me. Combine it with their catalog, by definition mostly stale, and there’s only so many times I can tune in to hear them on break playing AC/DC. Given my schedule I catch Bob’s rock and roll news feature often. It’s interesting content but he puts on this faux enthusiastic rock jock persona voice that rings hollow and grates on me. He’s nowhere near Dale levels but I prefer him representing the over 40 listeners with the occasional grumpiness or “can’t figure this shit out” old man takes. That being said I could listen to Matt and Chuy talk on just about any subject.

Essentially the top comment on Fox News story about this. See also that the DOJ is covering this up by avoiding the special master, or they sat on this so long it obviously wasn’t that serious, etc.

Can’t believe there’s no gif

These memes are dumb as fuck

On rare occasions I mention Surly to friends who I think would fit in here. As far as I know none have ever actually joined in the fray. And that’s too bad because I have no one on the outside to talk with about all the great moments…pedo bear, Saban being paged at AUS, Ricky, FitLump, the alcoholics thread, NowThis, etc. My great fear is that the first person to take me up on checking out Surly will land on this thread, be thoroughly confused, conclude we are all manufacturers and distributors of Derka-style self ownage, swear off the Internet forever and kill themselves.

He does have the facial expression of constant worry and indecisiveness down pat…which suits him. Personally I keep seeing Simon Ross, the reporter who blew up Blackbriar in the Bourne Ultimatum. Then again the original trilogy is some of my favorite action series so I’ve watched it a bunch of times.

^^ Probably a little obscure for most but “stop talking Johnny longbow”

Sorry but I’m going to chime in here. I don’t want to see you leave, for whatever that’s worth. Hopefully I’m not tarnishing this thread: If I was one of the two you were referring to, let me be clear I ‘outed’ you because you were posting long, aggressive, excessively manic posts in the CR…some with no clear point at all. Often that’s troll behavior, combined with new account + low posts = worried you’d get neg bombed. I wanted to point out you were going through serious shit so people wouldn’t pile on. I’ve had my own struggles with alcohol, and only by the grace of god and my own awareness of my weaknesses will I avoid going back. I damaged my marriage at one point, needed therapy and probably bothered the fuck out of Twice with PMs. Pretty sure I’m not an alcoholic and managed to find a calm comfortable peace without AA, but I still have sympathy like mad for you. Don’t let imaginary drama on a message board of assholes fuck with your recovery one bit. Your posting style in CR mimicked what got Schlong to opine you weren’t out the other side yet, and Rage to say ‘micro problems’…maybe deeply consider those two thoughts, focus on your recovery and let everything else go down a peg. Your posting history later today seemed to reflect you making progress there, don’t jump back now. Anyways please pardon my off topic rant here. I haven’t completely quit drinking but some kind of lightbulb went off for me early this year, and my life has become much more manageable through sheer focus on only what really matters…alcohol and what non-family thinks of me don’t occupy my mind at all. Hope you can get well.

I do miss live premiers for keeping us all synced up in a thread like this. Wife and I sorta stumbled into Ep2 by watching the last ten minutes of the premier this evening, as the storm in cedar park last night woke my kids up = no more dragons, blood and sex when my 8/6 yo kiddos are freaking out. Was the intro in the first episode too? Can’t tell if I accidentally skipped it for the premiere or if they withheld it for the second episode. So far I’m enjoying it quite a bit. The stakes for the realm picked up immensely between Rhae’s flash of badassery and the conversation in the final minute tonight. Add those two up and it sets the board pieces nicely for the grand scale of tension that made GoT so interesting to me. (purposely left vague for those who haven’t watched yet) Now it just needs to show me that the writers can weave characters that I care for. It’s a little early but what made GoT so special to me was both the epic world building AND the clever dialog, murky motivations yet clear ambition inherent in each character. To borrow from my #1 show of all time: all the pieces mattered. It’s too early to really bond with the characters, but I was encouraged tonight. Agree with StruggleBus, I think 8 seasons of history + monster expectations clouds y’all a bit.

Two airbags and a 5mph bumper

Fair enough. Been trying to keep you from getting piled on as a troll from a few recent posts that were…eccentric. I’ve had my own struggles with alcohol, didn’t want to see you get negged into orbit for the wrong reason. People come in here all !!! and OH SHIT IT DO BE GOING DOWN regularly, or just stirring the pot. With your low post count and recent join date you fit the profile. Since I read the alcoholics thread was trying to let the CR assholes know it may be due to your struggles and not the garden variety dickheads.

Based on the alcoholics thread he’s been sober but started AA meetings. Dude was a bit manic there to start as well…pink cloud? No judgement here

That guy was smiling like he’d just found the perfect excuse to not listen to his wife whine about the neighbors, watch Real Housewives or get nagged about his honey do’s for 18 hours.

Our resident Trumper lives around the corner from me, and had the works during election time…even parking his Ridgeline (so much for America first) at the edge of his driveway so the ‘Trump is working for you, help him’ sign on it faced the street. Finally met the guy at a block party last fall. Dude was pretty similar to the guy in the tweet. Afterward my wife, with over a decade in the public school system as a counselor, said afterwards ‘yeah that guy is on the spectrum’. Get that same vibe from stable genius there. Give people some way to feel special or an insider, and a certain type will latch their ego to it with a tenacious grip.

Shit a few weeks ago my wife and I rented one of those BCycles…nearly got hit twice on Barton Springs by gaggles of what looked like bachelorettes trying to decide where to drink next and not paying attention. At least FitLump has airbags to cushion an impact.
