  1. Spent a lot of time this weekend just talking to people in the city organically. Had a wonderful time with the volunteers at the Merchant House Museum by NYU. They care so much about the place and spent around 30 minutes talking to me and the mrs. about the museum and everything from gardening to the laws of thermodynamics. Even gave us some merch for free and we can't recommend the place enough. Quote of the conversation when they asked where we're from and we said Texas was, "Well that's certainly a place." Talked to a bus boy at an Argentinian Restaurant (Estancia Piola) in Brooklyn who is from Puebla in for a bit about his commute from Queens and the struggle to survive in the city. On the opposite side of the spectrum we talked to the owner of the restaurant who was really trying very hard and had fantastic food if your ever in the neighborhood. Her husband owns the dive next door. Finally on the drive to EWR today we talked to a Dominican who lives in Yonkers with a good union construction job that drives for uber/Lyft 7 days a week just to keep it going. He loves the city, but still makes it a point to go back to Santo Domingo every few months for some vacation. The people in the city are so much friendlier than they get credit for.
  2. Do we get a trial like his?
  3. Also, in hilariousness from The Onion
  4. Well it was a fun half
  5. Didn't see that coming especially for a kicker who seemingly has been there since 1994
  6. Well there's that
  7. 3 possession game and your offense looks to be threatening in general
  8. Haven't been keeping up as closely as usual but damn that A&M only playing the bottom half of the SEC graphic lol
  9. I didn't expect a bunch of 2nd rate golfers to be the best at picking CFB coaches.
  10. How much of recruiting has been replaced by "here is a bag of cash", which Arkansas is thought to be about B12 level and not SEC level in football?
  11. I like Zucker's, but I live in Waco so...
  12. Checking in a week from today and I'll be sure and throw a huge fit if we don't get the same upgrade. "This is an outrage! I know txduck87!"
  13. Nope, but I also don't feel like switching to another provider. I feel like I'm kind of over college sports right now anyway and I can buy individual packages for the Spurs and Austin FC so don't really have to spend more there. Dallas Stars' Victory+ is free too.
  14. Day 1 purchase for me if I can get an order in.
  15. We need more ledgemen and fewer optimists like @Brisketexan
  16. Right when Trump, Tucker, et al. were trying to normalize him and his Nazi shit.
  17. "Americans just need to get over their sex taboo" "Childhood is a recent and woke idea"
  18. I've posted it elsewhere, but my co-worker went through the drive thru about 2 hours before closing one day at Popeye's and the worker on the mic pretended to be an automated message saying they were closed.

    It wasn't just his fault obviously, but Andy Harris was one of the leaders of advocating for a THC ban while being one of alcohol's biggest proponents. Beer Institute Names Representative Andy Harris as 2021 Beer Champion - Beer Institute
  20. Each poster has to find 3 posters on other message boards and sign them up to find 3 posters.

    Well looks like they're coming for our hemp weed again, all because a Maryland congressman is on the big alcohol tit. Sigh, gonna make a big purchase soon.
  22. Next November I'll be 37 at release. I was 24 when GTA5 came out.
  23. Damn, the body of a Greek God.
  24. Mamdani's mandate? I've been told by former Atlanta Braves pitchers that it's this Over Rice | Halal Cart Guide
