  1. Ags probably still have to be able to convert a 4th down. CHIEF

    I'm getting some great Oklahoma shit right now. One of my best friends is staying in an RV spot, that I pay for. His wife works at a dispensary. I'm getting shit that I would have to pay a lot of money for, and they are getting 2-4 times the value of what they pay for it. Win-win. CHIEF
  3. Worms you say? The perfect woman, cause I like to fish. CHIEF
  4. The only reason I can't say pens, is a have bought some nice Cross brand as graduation gifts, but my wife's company buys probably 1000-2000 of those really good MIMA pens for advertisement every month.and brings about 50 home. Medium point, nice grip, love them. CHIEF
  5. Yep. He is a cool dude, I've seen his full name, I can't imagine having to spell that in kindergarten. I've known him since about 1996, when he was still on Hancock. He comes up to Cresson and runs on their track quite a bit. I heard the magic number on I-35 was 176 mph. I love the picture he has on the wall of him going through a corner at 202 mph during the Silver State Classic, the right front wheel is off the ground, and that picture is from the early 90's, which was ridiculously fast at the time.

  6. There are plenty of attractive single mothers out there who aren't looking for love, they are looking for help. They will throw that pussy down at the drop of a hat. There are plenty of young guys that will bang them silly, but they ain't gonna sign up to be a step parent, they just want to fuck. I guess you could say that both parties have ulterior motives. That is kinda what goes on around here. All the young men, I know, I tell them to be sure and wear a condom, no matter if she says she is on birth control. only take it off in the bathroom, by yourself, and throw it in the toilet and flush it three times. Cause "baby trappin' " is a thing around here as well. CHIEF
  7. Sure as shit would hate to be the repo man. CHIEF
  8. SW, that owns the exotic car dealership out at Cypress Mill and 620, is another guy like that. He is a very dark skinned Sri Lankan. The first time you meet him and he has an absolutely perfect Texas accent will make you do a double take. CHIEF
  9. I think this is more of an urban problem. Out here in the sticks, where people have plenty of opportunity to fish, hunt, camp, play golf for relatively low green fees, grow a garden, etc. People are pretty damn happy. They aren't crowded up, like in cities. The only ones that seem to be unhappy, out here, are the social media addicted Karens on Nextdoor. CHIEF
  10. This is the issue with concrete. The EPA went after Portland cement mines heavily to reduce industrial pollution. Most portland mines have been around for about 100 years and retrofitting can't be done overnight. All of the current stock has to be shipped, by rail, out of Mexico. The transportation costs are what drove concrete prices through the roof. CHIEF
  11. Either interest rates need to drop back down, or building costs will need to come down, that is the only two ways to make homes affordable for young buyers again. Starter homes, in my area, are around $250k. The difference in mortgage payment between 6% and 3.5% is a little over $300/month. That payment eliminates quite a few potential buyers. Labor and materials are outrageous right now. I'm not sure labor prices will ever go back down. I have no problem with labor being paid what they should, it lets the construction worker have discretionary income that gets churned back into the local economy. But material costs? Those guys have been around long enough that they are still profitable with prices dropping back into 2010-2018 prices. One of the guys that owns part of our small, local, concrete plants is a friend of mine. He lives in a $2 million house on the river, has about two or three $100k trucks, wife has a $120k car. He bought those when concrete was about $110/yard. Concrete went over $200/yard in our area, and is back down to about $175/yard. When construction nearly slows to a halt, concrete, lumber, and roofing materials will have the room to drop prices drastically and still remain profitable. One of the suppliers is going to have to feel enough pressure to break ranks. Personally, I would like to see both a drop in interest rates and material costs come down as well. CHIEF
  12. This was before there were any Dollar Trees built. CHIEF
  13. Pecans for me. When I was a kid, my family would find all the pecan trees on our deer lease and pick them all up for candy, pies, and cakes. I have nine pecan trees now, and get at least a couple of hundred pounds off of them each year. Mrs. CHIEF shells out a couple of gallon bags and sends them to a work colleague, that is probably her best work friend, that lives in New Jersey. CHIEF
  14. The only way researchers and scientists should be allowed to be in that situation for 13 months, should be the ones that are coupled up with another researcher or scientist going. Send them off with a smile and a 55 gallon barrel of Astroglide. CHIEF
  15. Our local guy, Josh Weathers, just put out a new album. I've only heard the title track, it has a very early 90's Brooks and Dunn type feel to it. Not al lot of artists putting that out right now. CHIEF
  16. We are headed down to Punta Cana for a wedding the second week in April. Like OJ, I will be out on the golf course looking for the real killers. CHIEF
  17. No. CHIEF
  18. I was just refuting the claim that legal residents have the same rights as a full-blown US-citizen. I think it is obviously not the case. CHIEF
  19. It says that a Permanent Resident must "obey all laws of the US and localities." Does that include lawful orders? Like to disperse from the college premises? We know that order was given multiple times, and ignored. Normal shit that would get a US citizen possibly arrested, but gives grounds to deport a non-US citizen. Permanent Residence does not guarantee the same rights as a US citizen. It says right in your post that they cannot vote in federal, state, and local elections. CHIEF
  20. But are they though? I don't know. I am not versed in Immigration law, rules, and regulations. Laxtonto seems to be an expert in this field simply due to his work environment. I would think that his status as a legal permanent resident would help. As a US citizen I can proudly support Hamas in my own country, according to Laxtonto's post, on the last page, a green card holder can, but he better keep his opinion to him or herself. CHIEF
  21. Shit, I've been on mine for almost two decades. CHIEF
  22. I guess I look at this too simplistically. As a visa, or green card holder, you are a guest in this country. As long as you remain a pleasant guest, and abide by immigration rules and regulations, America will remain a gracious host. Laxtonto is wise to tell the international students, he works with to stay out of protests. As a US citizen, I can shit in my own floor, as I have to clean it up. As a guest, you simply do not have that right. Especially, if, as a guest you are harassing US citizens. It is a very entitled stance that has enveloped some of our elite universities. My threshold is do what you want, but when property is destroyed, or US citizens get harassed, you have crossed that line, and all bets are off. Someone was bound to be made an example of, and unfortunately for this dude, he is it. CHIEF
  23. Same. I don’t go apeshit over them. But I buy probably six boxes , a month, when they have a table set out in front of the liquor store (they are shooting fish in a barrel). Samoas are my favorite, Thin Mints for Mrs. CHIEF. We don’t have a daughter, but I will do what I can to support my friends and neighbor’s daughters. What’s a little heavy metal amongst friends.

    1923

    I have a cousin that gets "bit" parts when they film in Hood County. He had a bit part as a cowboy in 1883, and apparently was on the episode of 1923 one of the last few nights. I don't really watch until there are enough episodes built up to binge a season. But it is pretty cool to see a familiar relative, up on the the screen. CHIEF
  25. He looked quite dapper in the knee high boots, and the newsboy cap. High style. He would be disappointed seeing you in black socks with Crocs. CHIEF
