  1. I for one am super excited about the SEC move. Going forward all of our losses will only count as a half loss since we will be losing to the all mighty SEC teams. Instead of 5-7 this year we would be 5-3 1/2 so a winning record actually.
  2. So Riley is running away from Texas just before Sark turns things around, huh?
  3. How about a little Rambo III when he fights the USSR in Afghanistan. A more obscure one could be The Falcon and the Snowman with Sean Penn. Red Dawn and No Way Out are the answer for best Cold War movies.
  4. I had some pretty good bagels at Zuckers bagels and Smoked Fish a few blocks from Grand Central a few weeks ago even though they messed my order up (they forgot to add onion and cucumber) but the bagel and lox was pretty good. I thought Black Seed bagels at 30 Rock sucked.
  5. The Human Fund is my go to.
  6. What’s the Big 12 gonna do? Kick us out of the league?
  7. 2016 Republican Platform?
  8. My neighbor ordered a Model 3 on October 15th and the Tesla site showed a March/April 2022 delivery. That being said, they delivered the car last week to his house so it only took about 4 weeks for his Blue Model 3 from ordering to arrival.
  9. I would rather be associated with Russian hackers than our TE group.
  10. So my kid has wanted the Xbox X since last fall but haven't been able to find one. I pretty much have given up this year also. I just got an email from Microsoft saying they are allowing some select Microsoft Store Customers to purchase a bundle with an Xbox X. I thought it was a Nigerian Prince scam but I googled it and it seemed legit as there were numerous articles about Microsoft doing this. I logged in and it let me order an Xbox X bundle which should be delivered next week. Hopefully this was legit or if it wasn't some Russian hackers will now have my credit card info.
  11. Well I have heard the windmills do cause cancer so we got that going for us, which is nice.
  12. Does that matter? We are basing self defense on fear of being harmed right?
  13. I asked for comments from our resident lawyers not a fucking inbred troll. Thanks for participating.
  14. So I have a question for the actual lawyers on this site. Let's say in the future a African American man goes to a predominantly white neighborhood and is armed to the teeth with a few rifles and guns. Someone in the neighborhood comes out and says "what are you doing here". Does the man with the guns have the right to start shooting people and then claiming it was self defense because he had fear for his life? You can reverse this same scenario to a white man going into a African American neighborhood fully armed and doing the same thing. Is this technically legal now and your lawyer would cite precedent in the Rittenhouse case? I don't need to here that the white guy can do it but the black guy can't as I already know there is racial bias in this country.
  15. First car I ever purchased was a brand new Dodge Intrepid. Fucker died on the way home from the dealership and had to be towed back to it. Had problem after problem with that car and haven't owned a Dodge since.
  16. Abbott may have other motives for open carry. Maybe he figures the more people that get shot could end up paralyzed and in a wheel chair like him giving him more people to choose from for his Paralympic basketball team. 8D chess and whatnot.
  17. Forget the white supremacist angle or the 17 year old angle but is it just possible that maybe this shows that people walking around with rifles in crowded areas might just be a bad thing for our civilization? This shouldn't be a right wing or left wing thing but kind of a common sense thing. You can have your rifle in the woods when you are hunting or whatever but is there any reason a regular citizen should be walking around a crowd of people with a rifle?
  18. Once he does the drugs, bad decisions, wine and women he probably becomes our next president. That shit won't bring him down in this country.
  19. How about zero championships for football or basketball but football wins 10 games a year, finishes top 15 every year and wins some good bowl games and basketball is a 20 win team that wins the SEC a few times and goes the the sweet 16 a bunch. I would take that at this point.
  20. He had Kennedy killed. At least that’s what Oliver Stone told me.
  21. I am surprisingly nervous about tonight’s game. The way the NFL has been going with bad teams beating good ones I don’t know what to expect.
  22. Not sure if I am getting the line right but when Larry asked Suzie if she knew anyone that had a cow and she responded "what am I, Little House on the Fucking Prairie" was fantastic.
  23. Reason number 5786 that Brown is a piece of shit.
  24. Just posted in the Covid thread about this since the wife and I were in NYC all last week. You def need to show ID and vaccine card everywhere. Restaurants, museums, broadway musicals, stores, you name it. Wasn’t a big deal and made us feel safer so all good. We had a great time in the city doing all the touristy stuff like the Empire State Building, 911 memorial, walking Central Park and hitting a few art museums like The MOMA and The Whitney. Also walked the High Line, Little Island and that area which was pretty cool. For food, we didn’t do anything that great as the wife is not a “foodie” and we stayed close to Midtown for meals since we had Broadway tickets on a few nights. A few of the places we ate that were pretty good were Ai Fiori for our anniversary. Food was pretty good but didn’t blow me away. I had a lobster dish that they are know for and it wasn’t all that. The pasta we had as a starter was fantastic though. Hit Becco (Chef Lydia’s Italian place) one night before a show and it was good and also went to Five Napkin Burger before a show and that also was good. Didn’t do the traditional NY Pizza but grabbed a quick lunch at Don Antonio (it was on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives) and the Pizza was really good. Neapolitan style but the pistachio pesto and sausage pizza was quite tasty. Also hit Katz’s Deli for lunch for a pastrami sandwich just to say we did it and it was also pretty good. I have no desire to live in NYC but do love visiting once or twice a year as it is a cool place even though I have to look at Yankees/Jets/Giants shit everywhere.
