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)

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 *

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.

Not that have a passport.

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.

Great fucking race, Finke comes in just shy but what a last 100 for him.

It's crazy that Aussie had JUST scored to go up. What, sub 1 minute left?? Madness!!

Holy fuck sticks that was a 4th and 5 level ending. Epic shit.

I love how as the events go on Simone's hair gets wilder, every time.

I get commentary on mutliview, or did last time I had it on and could select which image I wanted to "listen to".

China falls on beam.

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)

It was great, truly.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I watched the men's team all around. US was fucking clutch on the horse this time around. Kept them in the medals.

And for those that don't know, Medina is a jackass. (Edit - but he's really fucking great at surfing) I know the announcers have talked about it, but they aren't exaggerating the danger of this wave at all. My kook ass knows surfers 10x better than I ever hoped to be who would not even surf it. It's that fucking narly. And when it goes code red, there aren't a lot of pro-surfers that can handle it.

Dammit John John is the last man standing. Guess if it had to be one, he'd be the pick anyway.

It's a lot better than it's been, but it isn't big for that wave.

The judges are on a platform on the coral. They take the time to review the surfer on the on the various videos taken. There is a lot to how the surfer took the wave, breaking, how long in the tunnel, and small nuances they take into account. To get the videos complied, get them to the judges the process it, takes a minute. It's not unlike gymnastics.

I'm pro Ukrainian victories in their battle for liberty. I struggle with the reality we live in now of war seen from X/Twitter/social media. Not critical of anyone posting them here, and I acknowledge that war is ugly. It's the surreal aspects of it being posted that is a struggle for me. In the "damn war is brutal" sense of it all. I grew up in a place where I became desensitized to gun and physical violence. I don't want to become desensitized to war violence.

I'm not questioning the knowledge of other posters in this thread, but I do know that sometimes false information is spread to alter the enemies perception of potential threat. No clue if that's the case here, but it sure as shit wouldn't surprise me.

tu probably drew the hole thing up. They keep bosing everyone around and destroyed every conference they been in before. SEC gonna teach them something. It's funny cause they ain't win bull since forever.
