  1. Many years ago I was flying back and forth from Honolulu to Austin as my dad was terminally ill with about a year to live. (Wait, wait, it gets even funnier.) So I would basically leave Honolulu on Thursday night and fly back Saturday or Sunday, just to try and sort out as many things as I could in person. As you can imagine, it was totally exhausting physically and emotionally. So I get to the Austin airport for my return flight one weekend, and I'm checking into the flight at the kiosk, and it's not working. I go to the counter and I really had no patience or threshold anymore, given everything that was going on with my dad and my sleep, so I kind of unloaded on the agent. "Your machine is broken and I just need to check into the flight and get the hell home, and it would be a lot easier if you guys knew how to run an airline, but of course your machine won't let me check in" or something super rude along those lines. He asked for my info, punched it into the computer, and politely replied, "The reason you can't check into your flight is because it left yesterday." Total humiliation. I immediately snapped back to reality, apologized profusely, explained the situation, and the agent was super nice and got me on that day's flight after all. I learned two things through that experience -- never assume you know why someone is being a total asshole, and even though it's completely exhausting, do whatever you can to spend time with your friends and family. But the embarrassment of that situation still haunts me -- I really made an ass of myself.
  2. Badass. You should maybe pin this at the top of the recruiting board?
  3. "But enough about me. What do other people think about me?" Was reading about the making of Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar." Corgan came in during recording and gave pointers and recommendations about how they should sound, record, mix, etc. Was really proud of his input and the eventual massive success of the album. When asked about Corgan's influence on the album, the band members basically said, "We ignored all of his bullshit."
  4. Was thinking this scenario was going in a different direction
  5. I mean, I slept with a few hundred million men just last night and you don't see me holding up a goddamn sign
  6. I think LoG still brings it.
  7. That photo is the definition of rock and roll.
  8. That khyd is going to wind up getting addicted to khrak cokhane, become a street walkhyr, and be inkharceratyd for multiple feloneighs, guaranteed
  9. Yeah, I'm not pinning this one on the Highway Department, dog.
  10. This guy looks like he really likes Dabo's NIL policy.
  11. Tangent but on the SNL 50th anniversary show last night, Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter opened up by singing Homeward Bound. Simon introduced it by saying he played it on SNL in 1976. Carpenter said "I wasn't alive then. Neither were my parents." Jesus.
  12. Damn, I was intrigued by Hall. I don't know shit about fuck, but he seemed like he would've been a good fit and had some good insider relationships already formed for short and long term recruiting.
  13. Well, shit, me too.
  14. Would've been a cooler video if the skier in the back had been yelling "I want my two dollars euros!"
  15. I like how in the second clip you can see the dude who looks to have been filming the first clip hauling ass to avoid becoming a fiery pancake.
  16. I just watched Police Story again a couple of days ago. That spinal injury was no joke. The graphic forgot to include that he melted the skin off of his palms and fingers during that same stunt. Armour of God has some terrible injury outtakes too, but damn what a great movie. Jackie is the GOAT.
  17. Yep, hated that video too.
  18. I can't tell you how much I hate those videos. I always watch them, and I always feel nauseated, and I always hate them. And then I always watch them again.
  19. As Jerry Seinfeld said, in that sort of a situation the helmet was wearing the guy for protection. "It's a good thing I was attached to that human or that truck would've hit me directly!"
