  1. Yeah. She was hot for sure.
  2. It’s definitely an unsatisfying end to an unsatisfying season. Kinda seems like the rock may not be back. Maybe wrong on that, but if you’re thinking the finale may ave the season don’t get tour hopes up. I had it on, but wasn’t really even watching after about 5-10 minutes of the same shit.
  3. Didn't see a thread and I can probably see why. I have enjoyed that show for what it is. Generally, cool cars, hot chicks often scantily clad or unclad, sports, and some humorous hijinx. This season was kind of a beating. There wasn't much of any of that. It tried to be a "statement" show and maybe they could have pulled that off in the right doses or setting, but most of the good humor and cool shit was completely absent. Really disappointed it went the way it did.
  4. Funny Magnum moment I could not square away was in episode 2. They go to the fancy restaurant, dude orders steak WELL DONE, and then proceeds to order a Chateau Margaux. Those two things just cannot be squared up. HIggins with a very solid order of Aubert chard. One of my favorites. Doubt that would be served by the glass, but I can let that slide. Well done steak with Margaux? Nope. cannot work with that. Other than that, it's fun as hell.
  5. for a nice diversion you can visit the Bernardus Winery there. Solid wines, and nothing too pricey.
  6. yes. 100%
  7. well there is the matter of it being their money, and it is more efficiently and effectively put to use in the economy without it running through the financial disaster known as Washington. Those are good enough reasons. Revenues are up yet the deficit continues on. There is no tax rate that will ever provide a revenue stream that can meet Washington's spending. That said, I have long advocated and still am a huge proponent of some real restrictions being put on those who "serve": 1. The minimum age to run needs to be pushed to 55-60. This eliminates career politicians. Make them go earn a living out in the real world, gain valuable experience and wisdom, and then get elected as a way to "give back" and "serve" after being successful at something. 2. Raising the age to 55-60 ensures some level of "term limits" which are badly needed 3. They get paid travel expenses, stipend, and lodging allowance. That's it. Get people wanting to serve the people, not those enriching themselves from their position. 4. Everyone gets the same campaign funds. This would solve so so so many problems.
  8. Flame away. Not going to lie, I really like the show. It's a great one hour escape, and I dig the cast, cars, and action. Like that Higgins is a bad ass with a nice accent.
  9. Bozo bringing the goods here. Appreciate your thoughtful input.
  10. best steaks don't need a condiment.
  11. I know this is likely to turn political even though it is not really meant to be a political post. I do believe we as voters need to find some common ground on real issues we can actually solve in a bi-partisan way. The issue I see is one where I have donated time and money. It's a simple one and one I believe can be solved, and one where both sides could easily find common ground. Hunger. As I was walking down Smith Street yesterday in downtown Houston to pick up my lunch I see a very gaunt man near a bus stop start digging in the garbage. He pulls out a discarded piece of pizza and starts eating it. This absolutely hurt my soul. The man appeared to be homeless, obviously hungry, very dirty. I asked him to wait where he was, consider putting that pizza back where he found it, and I would return in a few minutes with lunch. I picked up my lunch and had them make a few sandwiches. Luckily the man was there when I returned. I just cannot wrap my head around how we let shit like this be a continuing problem in America. We waste so much money on so much shit it's incalculable. How is it we cannot find a way to fund shelters with some basic care and food. That's rhetorical, we don't need your snarky answers from the left about the military industrial complex, nor from the right about how we spend trillions on handouts already. I get it. Both of those things are true. We have to find a way to fix this. No one in this country should go hungry. Ever. I get some may be beyond help to some degree. My guess is this man probably had some form of mental issue that possibly doesn't allow him to function in a way where he can get help at some of the places it is offered. What can we do? I know this isn't an issue that gets as much attention as it should because it's one where people can generally agree. If it isn't an issue that is going to divide us the news, nor politicians are going to put much effort into it. Anyone have any ideas? ANyone ever had much luck lobbying their representatives on this? what about at local levels? I feel like I can devote a bit more time and energy to this cause. Anyone with any insight into how to go about it, I'm all ears. I know this get more attention as we enter the holidays, and there will be some nice news stories about people at foodbank kitchens serving meals. I've done that. It's nice and all, but that is not getting it done. We need to think "bigger".
  12. Was not a fan. Seemed like nothing more than cream soda with perhaps way more sugar than a regular cream soda. Awesome place though.
  13. Boxster S, and it's not even close. And that is not an "automatic". It will be PDK dual clutch manual. Granted it is a manual transmission that operates flawlessly in automatic mode, but it is a manual transmission.
  14. I am thinking one more extended season similar to BB. Maybe 5-7 episodes of "Saul" leading up to BB, and then maybe a few episode of Cinnabon post BB to wrap it up.
  15. It was actually phenomenal, but that is far from the norm for that vintage. I took a 2011 Bond St. Eden to a dinner not long ago, and it was about as boring as the dallas cowboys offense. It wasn't bad, corked or anything. It was just flat and boring, and those wines are never boring. I generally avoid 2011 too. I am consuming the ones I have, and so far most have been pretty underwhelming. A few have really shined, but that just isn't the norm.
  16. Few good ones from an event a while back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Maybe Harry Reid shouldn’t have gotten rid of the filibuster and there would have been a path to block Kavanaugh, but no, they couldn’t think far enough ahead that that might be a terrible idea for the country. It was a power move for party that will have a horrific impact that won’t be fixed.
  18. "credible" seems to be a confusing word to some. To the left it apparently means "there is an allegation I wish to be true" so the victim is credible. No rational thinking person believed her story was credible based solely on her saying it happened which is the only evidence we have that the event happened. She became not credible when no one she said was a witness to the event to corroborate her claims. Not wanting Kavanaugh on the SC doesn't make her claim credible. Having maybe one person back up her story would lend some credence. Maybe calling the cops when this alleged assault happened, filing a police report, maybe telling your friends, parents, etc about the incident would have lent credence. she has none of that. NOt one shred of anything to back up her claim. Her story was "he assaulted me after I had exactly one beer, but I cannot tell you when, where, how, or any other details, nor will I let you see my notes I made on this." She did lots of things throughout this ordeal. Be a "credible" victim is not one of those things. And I am one who doesn't give a shit about Kavanaugh one way or another. I'm one who is still very upset that Merrick Garland was not awarded a hearing and a vote. I am not displeased that the more information that comes out seems to point to the left doing more corrupt shit that has become their calling card. Trying to get people to change their testimony, or ahem "clarify" it in order to try and make this claim have some credibility. this whole event is embarrassing on so many levels for both parties.
  19. I can prove I have been sexually assaulted the same number of times Ford can prove she has been sexually assaulted.
  20. ha. as if kagan and Sotomayor were ever going to be impartial. give me a break.
  21. this picture makes me think of one of those fake hallmark card memes I saw about kids. It was something like "Daddy Drinks Because You Cry".
  22. Lincoln Riley hates p**sy and thinks temperpedic mattresses should be outlawed.
  23. if it follows the same theme as the last Rambo in 2008 where he has more kills than lines of dialog, this will be awesome. hopfully he will mow down a drug cartel with a 50 cal.
  24. that was pretty much my reaction when I tasted the ribs yesterday. Goddamn those things were fin-om-mi-nuuuuul. the brisket was cooked perfectly just like it always is, but to me had a deeper smoke penetration to it which is how I prefer it. cannot have too much smoke on it. Still, those ribs....
  25. the report should be released. what a load of bullshit.
