  1. Whatever form you choose, don't choose canned.
  2. The new Smashing Pumpkins video kind of sucks.
  3. How did Askew start 20-something games at Kentucky last year? His basketball intelligence is pretty low.
  4. Are we gonna have to watch a split screen? Fuck Coach K!
  5. The notion that Toby Fucking Keith is a great philosopher is already widely excepted. That he's a run of the mill Oklahoma cocksucker is also widely accepted in the circle I run.
  6. One of my wife's best friends is a former Mennonite. She still occasionally struggles with looking over her shoulder to make sure no one sees her doing anything "immodest." And her parents live 4 houses down from us so if she comes over to have a drink we have to have it either indoors or out in my BBQ shack. Too risky to do it in the backyard out in the open because her mom may go walking on the trails out beyond our yard and see her.
  7. Yeah, but did they handle rattlesnakes???
  8. Dont push the wrong one, though!
  9. Insurrectionists...mount up! Whoops,wrong team.
  10. Dish had allowed me to put a 3 month hold on my account, but after 5 weeks of using YTTV we were happy with it. Since I didn't need the whole 3 months Dish had given me, I called to make the break. The transferred me to "the department that handles that." They asked what it would take to keep me. I told them I want keep the same package I have (Top 200)...no dropping down to "save money", I want the lowest offer you can possibly make, and throw in some freebies for wasting my time the past month. They put me on hold for a couple of minutes then came back with $40 off/mo for 12 months. Sounds good on the surface, but their Top 200 package has increased to $132/month....so $92 would be the offer. That's still $27 more per month than YTTV, so I declined and told them to go ahead and ship me the boxes to return my Hopper. Put me on hold again, came back with $82/month. Told them that was closer, but I'd still be paying them more $200/yr than what I paid for YTTV. He said he'd also include a one time $100 credit on my next bill. I got to cipherin' and with that $100 credit spread over the 12 months, my bill would average out to $73.67/month. I told him if he'd throw in Showtime and a couple of On Demand movies I'd stay with them. He said he could only do Showtime for 6 months, but he'd be willing to give us one free On Demand movie per month for the 12 month offer. So we're back to Dish. Yeah, it's $8.67 per month more than YTTV, but I get the Longhorn Network, Vice, and AxsTV back...plus the other shit he threw in. I'll have to go through all this shit once again next February, but now I know YTTV is a viable option if Dish calls my bluff.
  11. Is that real? Being a rational human I'd say no. But then again, we're talking about east Texas Trump country where anything absurd is possible.
  12. Although his eyes are open, they might just as well be closed.
  13. Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees dead. He was only 57. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mark-lanegan-screaming-trees-dead-obituary-1311045/
  14. Kind of like travel agents. I can't believe they are still a thing.
  15. Howard is made about Gard taking an insignificant timeout? If anyone is gonna make him this mad over a timeout it should have been Chris Webber!
  16. As a girls high school coach, my first pro tip would be to never go into a girl's locker room. Ever. Now if he wants tips for things seen out in the wild, I'd be willing to train him for a fee.
  17. For Sling, you'll need their combined package ($50/mo) to get ESPN, ESPN2, FS1 and the NFL Network. Then you'll still have to fork over an additional $11 to get ESPN U, ESPN News, MLB, LH Network, , SEC, ACC, Pac 12 (no Big 10 or CBS Sports). That comes with 50 hrs of DVR time. An additional $5 will get you 200 hrs. And their locals are hit and miss...and even when they hit you only get Fox and NBC. YouTube TV has everything listed above minus the LH Network for $65. They also offer unlimited DVR for free. If you've never used it before, they normally have a 30 day free offer to try it out.
  18. Quan forgetting we're not a basketball school (yet).
