  1. Reading Hatch's classic, The Democratization of American Christianity and damn if it doesn't hit hard from the start.
  2. Annual trip the week before Thanksgiving will be more of the usual with a stay in Tribeca and a couple of shows/Jazz club visits with the necessary stops at Los Taco No. 1 and Pomme Frites. One thing we haven't done is visit the NYPL (42nd Street). I understand they always have the Polonsky Exhibition, but haven't heard much on whether it considered a worthwhile visit or not. Anyone seen it? We do the Bryant Park Winter Village every year anyway, so it wouldn't be out of the way at all.
  3. I don't feel like I've ever been to a sub place and left feeling like, "Wow that was really good!" Feels more like, "Yup, that was a sandwich for lunch."
  4. Oh god, I didn't have Trump funding Northern Irish paramilitary groups on my Nobel Peace Prize Bingo card.
  5. You people ought to be locked up
  6. Who is this old dude pretending to be LaVar Arrington? God damn time
  7. Gonna get a Teams message from Ken in IT asking if you want to go out to dinner on Thursday. And you won't be able to say no....because of the implication.
  8. 3 years until we're all the way in
  9. Got me a Lee-Enfield 303 NO.4 MK I from Australia in WW2 that grandpa said was sold outside department stores after the war for like $5 (no idea on the veracity of that). Some asshole carved a deer in the butt though which ruins the appearance.
  10. Nice of the district to throw all the complaints to principals.
  11. Yeah I have a ton in a 2055 and I don't plan on working until even 2045.
  12. My CEO's "Well how are you going to get it here" followed by silence was great.
  13. Pretty much and the worst part is that when we do save someone, we never even get a thank you. Like the dude trying to wire $50k to Puerto Rico for a tractor he hadn't seen. All age groups fall for it now, but it's especially sad with old ladies and romance scams. They are so certain they're talking to a real guy living on an oil platform off the Scottish Highlands who just need $500 to get their bags through customs at the Edinburgh airport so they can get to the US and buy that $1M in house Williamson Co. The scammers on this one faked a boarding pass that literally said DEPART: Edinburgh ARRIVAL: Texas Oh yes, the great Texas airport. She still refused to believe it when we showed the real flight number was from London to Madrid.
  14. Why on a Tuesday?
  15. There is no law specifically for domestic terror groups, so his executive order just directed the government to continue doing things they could already do. It was all for show.
  16. You've been around these parts long enough to know this bit.
  17. Replace "the announcement on autism" with "SurlyHorns" and you got yourself a permanent motto.
  18. Dont worry, you weren't anywhere near the biggest fool yesterday. I work at a CU and we had a guy come in to get all of his $$$ (76 years old, about $6k) because these investors were "gonna turn it into $30k". We tell him, in person, its a scam. We sit him down with compliance, nope no good. OK sit him down with CFO, nope no good. CEO? Nada. Last chance was the off-duty police officer who gets paid $50/hr to watch YouTube. Nothing. We did get him to lower his withdrawal to $1,500 but he still took it and left, undoubtedly to a crypto atm, never to be seen again. It's an everyday thing in FI's.
  19. AP going hard into the paint.
  20. I haven't been keeping up, but his crowd skipping real church for MAGA church today is obviously not shocking.
  21. I thought we were getting some deep cuts bard stuff for a moment, but alas...
  22. and they'll have to be 1sqft bigger than the Oklahoma ones.
  23. Meh just charge $50 more for a reinforced scooter for the morbidly obese at WDW and give them a discount if they finance it with a Disney card at a low low 36% APR. And better raise Lightning Lane another $10 each and you know if you love your kids they have to go or else you are a terrible parent.
