  1. This place? https://hcicehouse.com/ The web developer and general tech guy didn't include the website? What is this world coming to?
  2. Good point, I totally misread him saying "visit" as "live."
  3. I mean, I understand the sentiment. To me it's pretty similar these days to "Who the fuck chooses to live in Texas?" The answer is, people who get paid a fuck ton of money and have a pretty good deal here.
  4. Is 4 million in the bank enough to live on for 30+ years in California? You're in Cali, right, or am I mistaking you with another poster? My comfortable # in Texas to retire in my mid-50's is 5.5. Congrats. This is some version of my goal. Get just enough to live and slowly grow it, and then maybe when we die there's enough left that our son can not worry about retirement as long as I teach him how to grow and safeguard what we leave him.
  5. Foreign Correspondent for Newsmax. Never change, GRUHorn, you piece of shit.
  6. I'm pretty skeptical of Chat GPT's numbers on this...I think UT has well more than 5 billionaire alumni. That being said, I can name 4 off-hand, and all 4 of them aren't contributing to UT NIL. Pretty sure there's the saudi guy who gave Mack Brown a credit card for the old weight room. That would be 5. Something tells me we have a lot more than 5 Billionaires lurking around.
  7. Ha, knowing the guy as I do, he will have zero interest in that. I am intimately familiar with his inspiration, however; us watching hundreds of hours of college football at various sports bars in our 30s and early 40s. Dude whipped it up one afternoon on a work day. We had it made into shirts at one point.
  8. A little late, but this graphic wasn't created by someone who posts on Surly. It was created by one of CTJ's childhood friends who he worked with at the time.
  9. Arch Manning, a high school quarterback from Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, broke high school records set by his uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning. On October 1, 2022, during a game against Pearl River, Arch threw for 356 yards and seven touchdowns, surpassing both Eli's record of 7,268 career passing yards and Peyton's record of 93 career passing touchdowns.
  10. You forgot that they dismiss all of his HS accomplishments, where he was QUITE accomplished, because he went to a private HS in LA, and played poor competition. The same small private HS that both of his uncles attended. Among other NFL players as well.
  11. You are correct, we're doing Anaheim for Disney, taking a day off to check out and get to LA and check in, and we are staying at the Studio City Hilton. Thank you sir, I've pulled up those links and added them to my required reading list!
  12. Eh. I'd say his thrill tolerance is not super high.
  13. Alright, looks like @mdmost is the man to reference in this thread. We've booked our Disneyland trip for June 23 & 24th, and then Universal in LA for July 26th and 27th. I'm looking for all the tips and best practices. We bought the equivalent of Lightning Lane tickets for both parks, and I guess I need to get the app and figure out how all that stuff works. Also standby skipper I'll look into as well, although I'm curious of anyone's thoughts on that. Fuck going to Florida in late June, if I'm doing long as fuck days at an amusement park, I'm doing it in 70 degree weather without humidity. I brought up a couple of Ear Scouts videos to review at the recommendation of this thread, so I'll delve into that pretty soon. But the general gist is that our son is 7, this is our first Disney Anything, so what is everyone's tips for a great day, what are the best rides, just whatever you guys have that we should know. I'm planning on a park each day, and long days, particularly for the Magic Kingdom. I don't *think* we got the park hopping pass, I think we just want to do 1 day at the Magic Kingdom, and 1 day at Adventure. We'll do similar for Universal Studios, with an early entry for Mario World, and a day of Harry Potter for the wife. We don't really care about any restaurants or meals, I assume we'll just eat at the park as we go and stay on the move. We're staying at the Pixar Hotel. I paid with miles, so Im having trouble linking my tickets to my reservation but I'm working on that. Anyway, watchu got Surly?
  14. Imagine being a fucking GA fan and whining about fucking NIL. It just goes to demonstrate just how fucking tilted the bag landscape was before NIL. BoooHoo, we only sign Top 3 classes now instead of the top overall classes. What a bunch of fucking pussies.
  15. I can't speak to Phil, but I had assumed he was referring to being a ref/ump for intramural's at Texas. That was my beer money job when I was at UT. At the time, it was good for $15 a game, which is like $15 for every 45 minutes. I worked 2-3 nights a week, which kept me in beer money. Other folks used that in to also get a job at UT Recsports for more steady income. It also let us sign up to hold the first down sticks at friday night HS football games around the Austin area, I forgot what those paid, though. But it was pretty damn good.
  16. Depends on who's giving the handjob, imo. On one hand, it could be Helobious, who's grip and rip skills are legendary. On the other hand, it might be Helobious.
  17. Didn't someone post an article a year or two back that investigated the boring company, and found out it had only bought like 4 used drills. They're basically a shell company that can't actually build anything, it's why all their projects disappear?
  18. I'm convinced most of these guys are so anti-porn because they've been burned by being poor lays and/or they are terrified of how they compare to guys who know how to fuck and girls who know how get off, and what it feels like to get off. ChangeMyMind.gif.
  19. Doesn't seem like you need any help explaining the link...
  20. Another gem. Also, this is funny coming from a person who has been wishcasting make the Rio Grand Valley a recruiting pipeline for like their entire life.
