  1. Here's a pretty cool stat about Hakeem: You've heard of a double double, triple double. There is a stat (can't remember what its called) where you get at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, and 5 steals. Only been done something like 8 times in the history of the NBA. 5 players have done it once, Hakeem is the only player to have done it more than once (three times). Note: I am not arguing who is better, just an interesting stat.
  2. Its even more insidious than that. Set up public schools to fail. Blame public education when they fail. Use that as rational for private school vouchers. Donors win.
  3. Also, guess which one will have a net benefit to the economy.
  4. Over/under on how long cruz, greene, or some other toad starts bragging about how much money people in their states/districts saved?
  5. Also, first ever tropical storm watch issued for Southern Cali: https://www.nytimes.com/article/tropical-storm-hilary-hurricane-california-mexico.html Hurricane Hilary (lol) will weaken before making landfall but still probably going to cause major flooding in Baja and southern Cali.
  6. This movie was based on this short story: https://tonova.typepad.com/thesuddencurve/2007/07/the-marching-mo.html In it, the guy who wakes up years in the future was a conman, gifter type. The masses of morons are secretly ruled by the very few smart people left, who desperately try to get the masses of morons to stop breeding. The conman comes up with a solution- market a new life on a newly discovered world that is a paradise. Then load up large rocket ships and eject the morons into space, repeat ad infinitium until the population is reduced/stabilized. Basically mass genocide. The ruling smart elites implement the policy and the human race and planet are saved. We need a similar approach, but instead of rocket ships, maybe we could use these:
  7. 'I've walked through the fire to get to where I am at,
  8. IF in some sort of twisted simulation fucking with us alternate reality, Killary ran against DOtarD again, who would you vote for @Incredulity?
  9. Yeah, I want to be buried in the back yard next to the two dogs who "preceded me in death." Daughter is worried about how a human grave would affect the resale value of the land. I told her "just don't tell anybody."
  10. Its border patrol: Lets make sure we all understand what is happening in that picture: A border patrol agent is pouring out water that was left in the desert to help migrants in areas where migrant deaths due to heat are common. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/members-group-giving-food-water-migrants-convicted-misdemeanors-n960816 Anybody rememeber the story of a local judge who stopped on the highway in S. Texas and gave some migrants some water who were literally dying and trying to flag down cars for help? Then she called 911, and waited with the migrants. Then got arrested by border patrol for aiding illegal immigration. I 'member. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/10/us/texas-border-good-samaritan.html
  11. Long drive Sunday. Had an Allsup's burrito and a beer on the road. 200 miles later, less than five miles from home, it happened. I have only myself to blame.
  12. there is nothing you can do there is nothing you can do there is nothing you can do except brutally beat his ass with a stick
  13. My boss was called for a civil jury trial some years back. Somebody buys some rural land in the Davis Mountains and builds a big ass house. On neighbor's undeveloped property sat a huge Texas Madrone, which was blocking the view from the house's porch, so the guy just trespasses and cuts the tree down. Neighbor sues. During voir dire, the defense lawyer asks my boss what he thinks, and my boss says "[defendant] should be hung up by his nuts until the vultures are done with him." He didn't make the jury. Pics of Texas Madrones, if you don't know what they look like: They are very slow growing, the one the size of the one that was cut down was probably over 200 yrs old.
  14. Maybe not strictly Texan, but I got my ass whooped once when I left a gate open and the cows got out.
