  1. I heard it and I forgot I saw it and I rememberd I did it and I understood
  2. Herman's disdain for 3 points and/or field position (particularly very early in a game or very late) was maddening. Hubris, over-confidence , whatever it was , I really hope Sark doesn't fall in to that trap this year. He had tendencies last year that way and that's how you let shitty teams hang around
  3. Yeah I guess so. In the end they got convicted, but his defense would have to be he only had one bullet in his gun and he thought he removed it. Weak defense imo. Eventually, Elward removed a bullet from his gun, forced Jenkins onto his knees and put the gun into his mouth, the document stated. Elward fired the gun, which did not discharge, then racked the slide, put the gun back in Jenkins’ mouth and pulled the trigger again, according to the document. The bullet lacerated Jenkins’ tongue, broke his jaw and went out through his neck.
  4. I dont understand how attempted murder is not one of the charges? Jackson MS, first no water, now '60's era racial shit, man come on Mississippi.
  5. I recently read One Soldier's War by Babchenko about his experience in Chechyna. In '91 Dudayev (former Russian Pilot) seized control of the region and expelled the Russian army. Lawlessness and chaos ensued and by the end of '94, a full blown war broke out to take Chechyna back. 100% of the RU military horrors we are seeing in Ukr took place in Chechyna, but on both sides. The evil that permeates their culture is not new. The Chechynan war was fought in cities, though there were some rural battles...for the most part it was street by street, urban warfare. Mass city bombings, total disregard for civilian lives etc...the picture this guy paints of the lack of training, leadership, total disregrad for a military hierarchy and structure was incredible. Hard to believe a superpower would have such little infrastructure...it was a total slog, fubar type stuff. No supply chain, lack of food, water, basic neccessities to arm a fighting force, it really was every man for themselves. I read the book mostly b/c I wanted to learn why/where this present day culture came from and my feeling is the history of what we saw in Chechyna and what we are seeing in UKR goes back to Lenin, Stahlin and back as far as that country has existed. Save for the fact they have oil money....take that away and Russia is closer to a third world country than any modern society. Patton was correct, we should have marched our boys all the way to Moscow and pushed the RU out of Germany, I think had we done that, perhpas the last 60 - 70 years history is different, but that's another matter.
  6. Night Rider's Lament, such a great song! Gets me dusty everytime. As i remember it: "....he tells me last night I run on to Jenny....he tells me you sure missed the track when you never come back...shes the perfect professional's wife.. she asks me why just he ride for his money, why does he rope for short pay..he must have gone crazy out there.."
  7. Rich may be a Hornfan but Cowboy Troy is a TexasEx, he was on campus same time as me. He is the fella that adds a hip hop element to several of their songs, heck of a nice guy. Back when Jdhorn92 was making the regular Dallas country bar scene (Borrowed Money, Cowboys, D&D, Top Rail etc..) in the 90's, he and I always talked Texas football. Great guy, he hung out with our crew periodically, he was always welcome. At the time, he was an aspiring singer....guess he found his niche.
  8. Discussion of Jerry Jeff Walker up thread a bit..he has a version of Something About a Boat, outstanding.
  9. thanks, how'd i fuck that up ha! and i even edited it
  10. Cool story bro. In summer of '91 I was laying in the pool at our Frat house kicking back. A couple girls i knew (wish i had picks) came by and asked if i wanted to go to Luckenbach and see JJW and Chris Wall. I told them all i had was $20. A 12 er of Keystone and a few tacos from Jack-n-the crack later we were on our way. One of my best memories of west campus days. Great night, so much fun. Blew chuncks out by the washer pit to clear some room ha! . What a night. late 80's- early 90's was peak JJW, probably saw him 10 times, i used to get his newsletter but never made it to his festival though down in Belize. RIP legend
  11. Mods can delete this. W/O going all CR, Trump created an industry right before our eyes. We knew he was a grifter, but gotdam he shit an entire ecosystem of which to monetize. For the most part the white hoods were in the deep shadows until CVL. Hillary was spot on when she coined the phrase 'deplorables' and Trump was happy to walk right threw that door and profiteer off these people.
  12. yeah to me this is the most egregious part of the whole deal. At best he and/or his team are complete idiots with no concept of how to run a brand, fact check, attention to detail etc... At worst he's a total racist. The newspaper article is not in the music video. That article was part of a promotional video for the song, and in that short promo video, the article used as a 'backdrop', details how a non-racist MS newspaperman got "run out of town" for calling out the racists. Sheesh Aldean is a dumbass.
  13. Bama Chick gets it, this is spot on imo. I have a daughter at AU, pledged last year and is heading back to Auburn for rush next week. According to her, grades were a weed out for sure, I asked if she was going to look after one of her incoming freshman buddies from our town, but her first comment was she doesnt have the scores/grades to get into her house. So fwiw , grades, social media and charity work through HS are super important. All in all, a very positive experience for her. I was in a frat at Texas and still hang out/communicate with 15-20 guys ive known since fall '88 and we're pushing mid-50s now.
  14. Meme stock mania Monday is coming. Look for AMC to go nuts , as shorts try to cover. Going to be interesting.
  15. I dont know who sings Fast Car ( redux version), but its not Luke Bryan
  16. Trump championing that song in 3...2...1
  17. Lot of speculation the toddler was a set up, but if it's legit, why hasnt Hoover PD released a description of the assailant(s). Seems odd they would hold this intel back, unless the woman is still in shock
  18. Someone should have had him read "The orphan master's son" before he pulled this stunt. He's not going to love the spa room at the DPNK Hilton. Get Bill Richardson on the line stat if the worm is preoccupied.
  19. Weird story. Woman sees toddler on side of the interstate outside Bham, stops to give aid, calls 911 and then calls her family. During the family call, she screams and is not heard from again......Until she shows up at home 49 hours later. No other reporting of drivers seeing a child on the interstate or her abductors. Police have a lot of unanswered questions. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/19/us/what-we-know-carlee-russell-alabama/index.html
  20. Ah the Dally! Had plenty of good times there
  21. Nothing against trans. The original character is gay, director went trans. Otto is ocd on tradition, rules, conformity etc.. His character never would have not-questioned that. it was a stupid add to the plot line and not needed. That was my original point, i acknowledged i used the word 'politica'l up-thread out of context. I actually loathe the word woke, but that's where the director went with the artistic license. His choice, my opinion.
  22. Thats kind of my point, you cant avoid it in everyday life. One can only hope a movie wouldn't be so obvious as to do that too, when it added nothing to the story. For example the kid didn't need to be trans, the real estate company didn't need to have an anti- American name. That's all im saying. Give it a break for 2 hours and let us enjoy the story sans trying to make points. In this case, the story wa good enough. I guess Im closer in age to the 'get off my lawn' demo than the younger surly members. Sucks getting old haha
  23. Politics may be the wrong word , but the name of the real estate company is "Dye and Merica" or something like that. There were a couple of other shots. As i said, I liked it overall, but was little much in some areas.
  24. Liked it overall, other than the overt political messages they weave in, but I suppose that is in everything these days.

    Mad Men

    Lane's final scene was so subtle yet so profound. Up to that point, and for decades later, Jaguars were known to be a very unreliable and expensive line to repair. Sure they were a status car, luxurious by any standard, but due to their manufacturing set up, there were very few parts stateside. Most, if not all, parts had to be shipped from the UK, making repair work (factory warranty or not) very costly. Most warranty companies don't even underwrite Jags for extended protection and if they do, the extra cost is literally $5-$6K for 100k miles. The agency had access to a demo, not sure if it was actually Lane's personal driver or not, but as he is attempting to kill himself, he tries to eat a bullet by inhaling the exhaust fumes. As per my the first paragraph, the Jag won't crank!
