  1. By my quick math? Once every 28 years. So the he's a big fan of Agassi, Michael Johnson and Shannon Miller.
  2. Only on Surly, in Daily Texan no less, is the quality and taste of fast food burger chains along the hotness of Heather Graham debated for 2 pages. This place chock full of nut bags. Please note I'm not excluding myself in that observation. Further, the number Braums ties to posters was rather surprising given the limited locations in Texas. Up next, Taco Beuno vs other fast food tacos. Let the vitriol begin!!!
  3. It really was a outstanding final/match point volley. Great game ending the right way!!!
  4. I don't mind admitting that if Hamas wearing protestors were subjected to some non-life threatening beat downs I wouldn't be heart broken either. I'm not condoning violence against them, just saying I wouldn't be too upset.
  5. "As a walk on, how'd you expect me to pay my bills?"
  6. Had?!?!? From her IG earlier this month. Sure it's been sharpened a tad, but let me be clear, I'd stab you in the leg with a fork for about 3-4 minutes with her. Which happens to be about how long it takes to get this new Sonic burger. (To keep on thread)
  7. Hits close to home. Worked at Braums when I was 15 y/o. Made burgers in fact as well as an in demand malt. *resume attached *
  8. The most common truck I see hauling stuff out in the sticks of Tennessee are old Ford Rangers, followed by old beat up white Ford F150s, final contestants are very old Nissans and Toyotas. Never seen a Ram hauling shit, but a lot with fat rims and low profile tires. Have yet to see a Cybertruck in the country. But.. not many "aggies" in these parts.
  9. Not that have a passport.
  10. Just want to express my gratitude for this thread. I don't share much but lurk fairly often. I'm grateful for the last couple of pages as it makes me aware of what an amazingly good post drinking situation I found myself in. I'm beyond grateful that I had such a huge surround support system that all were absolutely behind me getting sober. Massive, and I know with certainty I wouldn't have stayed sober with out them. Everyone on this thread is a part of that system, so thanks to all of you too for sharing and making me aware of how truly fortunate/blessed (if you prefer) I am in life.
  11. Great fucking race, Finke comes in just shy but what a last 100 for him.
  12. It's crazy that Aussie had JUST scored to go up. What, sub 1 minute left?? Madness!!
  13. Holy fuck sticks that was a 4th and 5 level ending. Epic shit.
  14. I love how as the events go on Simone's hair gets wilder, every time.
  15. I get commentary on mutliview, or did last time I had it on and could select which image I wanted to "listen to".
  16. I'll start by saying my information is dated by ~3 decades when I was in HS, so things may well be different, but I suspect not completely. I swam for Skyine HS is Dallas, we shared the pool with Bryan Adam HS. Skyline coach had been an Olympic qualifier. That's to say, for a poorer inner city school Skyline was in great shape. Dallas Carter, Kimble and similar schools were in our division. This is not me mocking at ALL. There were competitors that sometimes struggled to finish a 100 free. By struggling i mean, some walked parts or just got out of the pool. It was clear that some had barely been in a pool, ever, much less practiced regularly. I was a 16-17 y/o complete asshole and I felt truly bad for them. Let that shit sink in. So, I'm absolutely certain there are entire cities worth of amazing athletes that will go unknown for their swimming. Truth is, this isn't limited to swimming, but it's exacerbated by the fact that I don't think a lot even have access to a swimming facility. That's not to even speak of swimming coach/gear etc. The fuck you gonna buy swim goggles in da hood and Phelps ain't driving to South Dallas to coach. (No knock on Phelps, I ain't either)
  17. I'm really far from any sort of expert on the strengths of US Gymnastics. I THINK I recall that Vault and Floor are our tops events. So, that lineup looks favorable to me, start and end with a strength. Know gaps/advantage at the end. Like I said I don't know much so it's pretty much me just spitballing so it's worth what you paid for it. (That'll be 9.95 please, like and subscribe)
  18. Shit I brain farted on Pipeline not breaking in summer. Dammit And I edited my post HB seems like a really good fit. However, the this Olympics location ain't exactly easy to get in and out of and all the spectators are on boats so Tresles isn't out to the question.
  19. First guess is North Shore, quite possibly Pipeline in Hawaii. It's a strong bet. There's Del Mar and Tresles below that.. I'd bet heavily it's one of those 3. Del Mar for consistency. Pipeline because pipeline, a fast heavy consistent break. Tresles is a common surf competition spot. Edit (2) - though a nightmare logistically Cortez would be epic, but it's not gonna happen. An interesting thought for mass people appeal might be Huntington Beach. More editing cause I over think every thing. Pipeline is insanely close to the beach. From a viewer perspective that, to me, would be the most appealing. I might try to make that happen. :::narrator::: It's going to be North Shore.
  20. I was in Bocus del Toro one year when a hurricane hit the gulf. (Been over a decade don't remember which one) Bunch of pros and film crews flew in to hit Paunch Reef. (Which is weird because it's in the middle of the water not very close to the beach) I paddled out, looked at it, noped my happy ass back to the beach.
  21. I watched the men's team all around. US was fucking clutch on the horse this time around. Kept them in the medals.
