    Yeah, gotta tell ya, that was one that I had NO idea about the racist origins.  I'd been using the "tiger" version my whole life, had heard only that version, so had no idea there was any other implication.  Shit, I still use it in my head all the time, because for my entire frame of reference, it's just an innocent child's counting tool.

    I had never heard of the "N" version until I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater. I was looking around to see if anyone else had heard it or maybe I was losing my mind.

    Holy shit fellow Pokes…wow.  Just wow.  Will never see a defense like this again, and I thought our 2013 D was stout.  

    Tech had 108 yds of offense. Shut out at home for the first time since 1987. I know they aren't world-beaters but they're at least a bowl team. They had nothing tonight.

    If OU didn’t match LSU I would be absolutely shocked. 

    My ou-grad friend said the university is in debt to the tune of 2 billion dollars and that it would be difficult to match a big offer. I said boosters would pay the money anyway, so who cares? Also I can't find a source online for this 2 billion dollar debt. FWIW, I guess.

  4. Growing up as a military brat, I've never had a thanksgiving or Christmas meal with my extended family, it was always just the 4 of us. Sometimes my wife's family does it and I just don't like it, I'm not used to that. Thanksgiving was just another Thursday and one of my mom's (amazing) homecooked meals, the only difference being it was turkey or ham, which we didn't have that much. Being out of school was nice though.

    can they crank the salary up even more?

     

    Also, OU still sucks.

    My ou grad coworker read that LSU is offering in the 12-15MM range, not that I believe that. I do agree that ou sucks, however.

    So, just over 5 weeks? Is my math right on that? Did you use a service or anything?

    Yesterday was 4 weeks for mine (using rushmypassport.com) and I still don't have it. Shitty thing is, even though my trip isn't until 12/7 (which is right at 7 weeks from when I submitted it), I only have until 11/22 (5 weeks) to cancel hotel or I lose half the total. Cutting it close.

    Yes, 5 weeks. This was for 3 new passports and 1 renewal. I didn't use a service or pay for the expedite fee. We filled out the forms at home and dropped them at the post office. I was told it would take 16 weeks so this is quite the surprise. I don't know if we just got some motivated employees to process our stuff or if there's just fewer applications being submitted.

    I believe "and things like that" has officially replaced "et cetera" in all women's vocabulary.

    My wife prefers "and that sort of thing" & "and whatever". She'll occasionally toss in "and ____ kinda thing".

    If Riley were to leave for Lsu, wonder if blOU looks at Josh Heupel ??

     

    They fired him when he was OC and their offense wasn't that good. I think that bridge has been burned for a while.

    the killer/ceo did 4 and a half years as juvenile. 
     

    heartbreaking story really. He owes more than saying he’s sorry in a book that’s going to make him money. I like the son’s idea of a scholarship. 

    I'd love to know how Jordan felt when he found out this story. I wonder if he knew about this before his own father was killed.

    It’s like they’re addicted to the sound of their own voice.  Like the vibrations of their larynx stimulates the sinuses in their skull in an orgasm like manner. Like they can’t stop talking because they’re just about to nut. 

    A woman at work is like that, acts like she gets paid by the syllable. All the women at my job like to start talking to someone from far away, yelling and getting quieter as they approach. Why they can't wait until they get to the person to start talking remains a mystery.
