    Comedy

    I've been a stand-up fan since I was a kid listening to Steve Martin and Robin Williams (albums not CDs). I loved it when Comedy Central first started and the only thing they showed were stand-up segments. When I'm sober (currently sitting in a diner in Vegas eating wings and trying to finish my double Jameson), I'll post some of my favorites.
  2. Fuck you https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/31/opinion/sunday/nixons-vietnam-treachery.html
  3. We did the Alaska cruise when our kids were 3 and almost 1 (MIL loves cruises). It was fun; however, we didn't get to do any of the cool excursions. Now that the kids are 11 and 8, I'd do that cruise again.
  4. How many investigations of Hillary Clinton were conducted by Congress during Trump's 1st two years? You know, when the Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress.
  5. I just found that the white guy in the movie ended up playing Carmine Lupertazzi in The Sopranos
  6. Trader Vic's in Emeryville (across the bay)
  7. Texas Tech is going to beat Virginia
  8. There was a MAGA hat-wearing old dude in our neighborhood in Oakland today. He was standing in/on the median waving at cars. He definitely chose the right area of Oakland to do this as we have an abundance of over 50 hippies. It would have been a different outcome if he posted up in West Oakland or down by 77th-90th Avenues.
  9. We usually stay downtown at The Westin (off Broadway). It has an outdoor pool (with food and beverage service), is walking distance to the USS Midway and Little Italy, and is a block away from a brewpub. Also, it's on the metro line so you can get to a Padres game without walking much. Zoo is an Uber ride away if you don't have a rental. If you go to the zoo, go early. Same with Midway (and make sure you do the guided island tour).
  10. Tulemar is a great choice. As another poster said, just hanging at the beach every morning is a cool experience. If he's still there, David (runs the beach hut at Tulemar) is a big Longhorns fan.
  11. The boyfriend of my wife's sister is a QAnon follower and a 9/11 truther. While visiting the 9/11 Memorial last month, he started telling my kids that the towers fell via demolition. I pulled them away before he could finish his statement. And the sister still thinks we don't visit much anymore just because he's Trump supporter.
  12. Teeling is good. Redbreast, too.

    Maui

    Damn. That's a difficult price to turn down. Even more so if you have kids.
  14. What exactly has he done that would be considered outstanding? Is there anything he has done with which you disagree?
  15. Text is probably double-spaced with 12.5 font with at least one table on each page. They probably messed with the margins, as well.
  16. 4-4 in my survivor pool. Thank you, Kansas, FSU, LSU, and Purdue.
