Mentioned it several times already. The irony is this is actually, in practice, a HIGHER level of scrutiny. Of course, on this topic logic and facts play no part in the discussion.

Depending on the line, I could pretty easily see myself taking Florida in their first 7 games. And I do NOT think Florida is a worth a shit.

Well, I personally much preferred them to where MY Longhorn shirts on Saturday or Sunday morning.

Probably in or just outside top 10, and I'd lean toward 8-10.

So I lived 10 years in Chicago. THE most frequent college team you'd see was ND despite having a substantial Michigan, Whisky, Northerwestern, etc alumnus in the town. I'm confident 99% of those ND tshirts would rather watch a Blackhawks, Bulls or Cubs game over any college football game aside from ND. In Austin, there are larger number of smoke show USC Tshirt women that appear anytime they are playing. I'd be madly happy if every single one of those tshirt fans switched their loyalty to Texas. Of course, aggie would absolutely reject those "yankees" and "hippy women".

You're not wrong.

The US has always had its own unique form of totally fucked up, from banning of alcohol in the 19th century to the largest prisons system in the world. That said, the weirdness isn't limited to the US, if it comes in completely different forms elsewhere in the world. We may well be king of the barbarian mouth breathing idiots, we're not the only mouth breathing idiot country. Our brand is celebrity worship, prisons, soy loving, tech nerding, guns, money, religion, wacky cause protest and political extremes. Asparagus water dude. Asparagus WATER for sale.

Sadly, Darlene turned into a problem drinker in her late teens.

They also play Samford

You keep saying 380. No real criminal has ever owned or shot a fucking 9 kurtz You're just making shit up now.

If this was happening when Galaga was still out, all you had to say is "it's for my mom/grandma" and they'd sell it to you. Ask me how I know. Clearly you were trying to buy your supply from Tshirt tobacco dealers. Should have asked the nice maroon wearing gentleman in front of the store where you could purchase actual tobacco and not that fake stuff.

Amigo, I like ya, but this reads A LOT like an aggie post, just lacking the Tshirt gun dealers aspect and helping someone on the way to the gun purchase. 9mm Glock Meth Coke Crack HerRon That's your inventory as a street level drug and gun buy all inventory shop. Ain't nobody getting specific about caliber of the illegal firearm and ammo they are purchasing unless they are cartel members.

They can get the gun and ammo illegally and pick up some coke, heroin or meth at the same in most major cities. Many of which they could not purchase a gun or ammo legally in anyway. Why steal from family and go to a legitimate store with cameras.

Porn vending machines? I mean, they have those massive porn stores on the interstates which I'm sure are fantastic, and maybe porn vending machines could work at non-porn warehouse truck stops. So.. upon further review... Bibles are free somewhere. (Edit - ya know, anyone in need of a Bible urgently is likely a pederast. The FBI should look into "Free Bible" vending machines.) Baby formula.. Hmm.. maybe outside the excessive number of nail salons, "vintage" clothing stores and yoga places. Motor oil? Just don't see the market unless placed in a location that a TON of Porsche 911 drivers frequent. My bet, porn vending machines that "includes" a "free" subscription to "xxxtruckerpornxxxdotcom" via QR code on back of tape. I'm in.

I'm pretty sure, given folks working at the Walmart and Academy, it's a much higher level of scrutiny and likely wouldn't even be used that much cause "they ain't gettin' my name".

I'd put $10 on 10-1 odds they do. Only because I can afford to lose $10.

I'll add a bit to oxbeaf's question. To the best of my knowledge, anyone can legally purchase ammo reloading equipment and supplies including primers, powder, casings and bullets. I think the re-loaders are still available for purchase at Walmart and Academy. So why this hill? I'm not endorsing these machines nor condemning, just guessing the reality I posted above was something many weren't aware existed.

What the hell makes you sat that?!?!? It is right there on the schedule @Georgia

Copy and paste from the Tell me about Florida thread. Didn't see this one prior to posting. Hmmm, I think they could/will be favored or at least it will be a close line on: Samford aggie @MSU UCF Ole Miss @FSU They get what, on paper, appears to be their toughest games at home save FSU which, yes a rival but I think FSU is going to be a dumpster fire. I think 6-7 wins isn't out of the question, though, I admit neither is 4. I wouldn't bet this line either way, personally. They have some paper tigers on their schedule AND they are pretty bad. Hence, I voted 4-8.

Well, I sort of agree with you, SLX and YGIFS. As I, and many sociol anthropology and current days sociologists see it, it's sort of a combination of all of the above. In a off shoot but related topic, serial killer numbers shot up in the US after the completion of the interstate highway system. We're people serial killing before, most certainly. Was it JUST the interstate, nope, news coverage and cross jurisdictional engagement also occurred at the same time as an ability for serial killers to be far more mobile and heavier traffic cross state. All if that made it easier to "hide" or commit acts further from home. So, were language and racial variations a reason for early man's "war" or violence on others tribes. Absolutely. I want to be careful here as I don't recollect the specifics, but iirc our "pre-current day human ancestors" might have proactively worked to irradicate earlier "verision" of humanity. I actually recall hearing a hypothesis that that might be where a part of "trolls" and other similar creatures originated from in our lore. (Don't hold me too accountable on the specifics, it's Sunday am and I'm on my 1st cup of coffee). Now, given that, or move past agricultural during the industrial revolution, bigger cities in which racial divides/violence were FAR more prevalent, a bigger new cycle, the larger economical reach and ultimately a global economy... the increased violence makes sense in a very ironic way. When you couple all the factors the 3 of you mentioned and cross it with an ever growing large corporate oligarchy globally AND a news feed that is heavily incentived to report "scary" things of all sorts for clicks/viewers etc... well. How do you controll a population as the power structure? How do you do it globally? Use the old tried and true, race, religion and other factors to distract from the real money factors underlying it. Make the plebes fight one another over whatever to keep them from looking up the chain at the real cause. At the same time use these fears to make them focus on one another to try and reduce one anothers freedoms for your own oligarchy aims. Easier to control. A Renaissance Florentine Republic dude wrote about it long ago. If I sound like a conspiracy theorist... well, I guess I am. However, most here and elsewhere largely agree the silent majority in the US is the one never heard over the squeaky wheels of the extremes on either side. ... that's part is NOT a conspiracy I came up with on my own.

I take pics and share stories with my like minded friends. It's like I'm a narrator and rather than get angry about it I become completely amused at the shenanigans. Let me be clear, they anger me by their behavior, but sharing the idiocy in real time is my way of venting and turning it into amusement.

This isn't limited to just Mexico nor US citizens. Argentina and Chile's smaller airports were all about this bullshit. I was helping my mom, who wasn't feeling well and has some physical issues through multiple flights. I'm not ending up in a South American prison, but I sure as fuck had some temptations to find my way to one that trip.

MSP and Charlotte both suck ass for sure. There are worse, but not many.

I'll only speak for myself, but I'm extremely confident that the following is applicable for many Surly posters. I committed far worse sins in my youthful drinking days. FAR worse. Hell, I slept with one with similar (non-lump) afflictions post drinking youth days. I'm not proud of it... but..
