Wife wants this CD, some christian band I've never heard of. She asked me to find it online for her, as I usually just download music online but I couldn't find that one. So I forget about it.
She texted me today, "I bought that CD I've been wanting". Only after she made the purchase did she realize that none of our PCs have a CD drive, so she can't put the music on her phone. Nor does her car have a CD player. Luckily, I still had an old external drive and she was able to rip the songs.
Who the fuck still buys CDs????

Today, 9/22 is the 15th anniversary of Gundy’s famous rant.
The QB he was ranting about, Bobby Reid, thought it was all a bullshit stunt by Gundy based on how he had been treated during his time at OSU.
Excerpt the ESPN Article:
Or the line of all lines: "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 40! I'm not a kid. Write something about me, or our coaches. Don't write about a kid that does everything right, that's heart's broken and then say the coaches said he was scared. That ain't true!"
After Gundy was done, after he'd stormed out saying, "It makes me want to puke," there was hardy applause. Some fans had slipped into the news conference, and they liked the way Gundy had strutted around, the way he'd defended the kid.
Problem was, no one realized he'd offended the kid.
Reid says he was caught off guard. Here was a coach who'd been burying him and now he was going to war for him? It didn't add up. "At first, everything [Gundy] was saying sounded real and true," Rajika says. "But I'm a believer where there is smoke, there's fire."
In other words, Bobby and Rajika Reid felt info in Carlson's column came indirectly from Gundy or his staff. ("I'd have a hard time agreeing with that," Gundy says.)
In other words, they felt Gundy's rant was fake.
"Honestly, the way I took it, I felt like it was all a front," Reid says. "That it was all a big show. It didn't feel genuine."
Reid was a bitch. He came crawling back a few years later and asked Gundy for an assistant coach job, which Gundy gave him.

People that tell you their name for something and don’t tell me how to spell their last names
This is with mostly females. Like I’m supposed to know hope to spell Kasprzak and LeitheiserNot to mention that we're just supposed to guess how they spell their first name as well. Bitch, do you know how many variations of Katelyn there are?

Would OSU have left OU behind in the Big 12 if the SEC had invited them instead? 100%.
Yes. And I wouldn't be sitting here bitching that they wouldn't play us. ou chose texas over us, and that's 100% fine. But don't come back acting like it's our fault. You want to guarantee that bedlam takes place? Don't leave the league. It's that simple.

OU wanted to continue playing the series. OSU can/t/won't clear its OOC decks to make it work. I can't say I blame OSU on their end. They've got a few pretty good OOC matchups coming up and they're not the ones who changed leagues. The 9 game conference slate makes scheduling pretty difficult.
That shit is like something my ex-wife would say.
"I'm unilaterally making decisions that affect both of our lives. Tough shit if you don't like it. Also, I need you to chage your future plans to accomodate my schedule." Then a surprised Pikachu face when it doesn't work that way.

This whole thread has blown my mind. I had no idea there were people with such strong opinions about what other people wore. Just absolutely bizarre.
You should see the threads where people want to ban others from eating a steak if it isn't cooked a certain way.

Dubuque is the part of Iowa that’s quasi Rust Belt. It’s the oldest city in the state by a century. There was a big push to gentrify downtown in the last 5 years and there have been a bunch of cool bars, restaurants, and a couple great breweries pop up in that time frame. Combine that with the old east coast style row houses, hills, old dive bars, and local mountain bike scene and there’s a lot for me to enjoy.My mom was born and raised in Dubuque. I never thought a Scott Frost thread would hit close to home but here we are.
Al, I've never been to Iowa and I can't ask my mom about it, as she passed years ago. She never really talked much about it. Would Dubuque be worth a visit?

Yes, I know they don't have control over politics. I'm not Sarah Palin. Just that they understand the details of the UK heads of state better than the stories involving our current and recent heads of state.
If my wife started telling me her thoughts on Liz Truss and what it means for the UK, then I would agree with you. But she just talks about the dress so-and-so wore and what some kid's middle name is. These aren't "heads of state" to most people. They are characters in a long running prime time soap.

The number of people I've encountered in the last week that are up on every minutia of the British Monarchy, who then have zero idea what the fuck is going on in U.S. politics is staggering
The monarchy doesn't have much to do with "politics", really. They have almost zero power to do anything. They just hang out and do PR shit, mostly. So women (like my wife) can just have their princess fantasy and not have to think about government or politics. It's just a soap opera for them. Don't overthink it.

My dad. Born into a loving but lower class family, left home for the military and served 26 years (enlisted, not an officer). Then worked for the VA for another 17 odd years. Through self-sacrifice, hard work and shrewd investing, is now a retired millionaire. Never brags about his accomplishments, never puts himself above anyone else. Most importantly for me, he never said to me "I told you so", when I gave him plenty of opportunities.

I still have some burn scars from my old man’s Camel exiting the wind wing and ashes reenterinng onto me in the back seat.
Fortunately Dad was an early believer in AC.My dad told me that he and his three brothers used to fight to see who had to sit behind my grandfather in the car. Gramps dipped skoal and when he would spit out the window, it would inevitably fly into the rear window and nailing the kid sitting back there.
