  1. 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.
  2. Can’t believe there’s no gif
  3. These memes are dumb as fuck
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. ^^ Probably a little obscure for most but “stop talking Johnny longbow”
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. That was nasty. Drove down to Tomo to pickup dinner for my wife and I, sky was all kinds of gnarly. Rain started just as the kids were going to bed. Right as we were watching end of episode one of House of Dragons, shit hit the fan and scared my kiddos right outta bed in a big way…totally burned my chances with the wife, though I’m sure that birth scene wasn’t helping either.
  15. Why is it always SEALs with those clowns? There’s a whole spectrum of badassery out there, and dumbasses pick one that’s easy to refute: ”oh you do? Where’s he stationed?” ”Uhh Iowa” (Navy special warfare is pretty limited to three bases, one on each coast, and Hawaii) Say something like a CCT, Marine Raider or Special Forces. Hell my dad got his usaf career started as a reservist flight nurse and said PJs on C-130s would practice IVs on each other, or pile their duffles together for brutal games of ‘king of the mountain’ when they got bored during a SAREX. SEALs aren’t the only game in town, those idiots just furiously masturbate to Zero Dark Thirty and Joe Rogan.
  16. I can’t even stand to hear his voice
  17. We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese!
  18. Never thought this chestnut would be still useful decade+ later
  19. Yeah YGIFS needs to slow his roll. I have a lot of sympathy for him given his situation from the alcoholics thread, but then to strut into CR going all Beaker on us…
