  1. This house was in a James Bond movie, right? Two chicks basically attack/fuck connery when he lets himself in? I can't remember all the Bond movies specifically, I'm only in my 40's.
  2. Dude needs to put that somewhere that doesn't require digging. But thanks for doing the leg work man, I'll throw some money that way now.
  3. Who do the guys who own those tech monopolies vote for, consistently? Who do they give an overwhelming amount of campaign contributions to, which party? Why do you think that is?
  4. I've ignored this thread for 2-3 weeks now. So there is basically still no information about the leanings and beliefs of the shooter? We're just still talking about Jimmy Kimmell. So weird. I wonder why there's no more information leaking out to the media.
  5. if I lived in Austin I'd be down AF for this. Dude's webpage just needs a donate button.
  6. That guys farmer tan around his eyes from his sunglasses is something I don't think I've ever seen before.
  7. Well, if he's 100% opposed to everything we're doing, including personnel on the field, I think it's safe to say that he hasn't added anything. Sark 100% thinks this is happening because Baxter is injured and Wisner has been hobbled.
  8. The dead cat is our football team, and the bounce will be OU slamming it into the pavement. It'll probably look like the concrete is a trampoline.
  9. We had brunch on Friday at Bouchon, and it still crushes it. Just ridiculously good. We haven't ventured to Lotus of Siam in a couple years, we opted for Bazaar Mar on our free night. That was...one of the most overpriced meals I've ever had in Las Vegas for what we got. Pretty disappointing from a Jose Andres joint. If you go avoid the tasting menu like the fucking plague. One funny thing, is there was the Marine Corps formal ball or something on...Thursday night? Think it was Thursday. Anyway, I'm riding down the elevator with these two young marines, full dress, and one of their dates. Couldn't have been older than 22. She's drinking from a cup, and offers a sip to the other guy who isn't her date. "Want a sip of my roadie?" He, as one does, asks what's in the cup? "Oh, it's mountain dew and tequila." He looks confused. I can't help myself and go "A classic pairing." He's too young to know better, and looks at me and goes "really?" to which I respond "Absolutely fucking not" and execute my perfectly timed exit from the elevator.
  10. I'm not surprised. I'm sort of the opinion that the people who've started running the lodge on the board are a bunch of pricks, based on their decisions. Like, they keep trying to grow the Czechfest here and then have a fucking hissy fit when they don't have enough volunteers. Like, it gets to be more of a shitshow every year, why do you keep trying to make it bigger? Getting "names" probably dovetails into that. "Lets make this rival Wurstfest!!" Why don't you try making it suck less, before you grow it?
  11. Y'all travel far? Based on your name, maybe you're playing the Lodge 88 Czechfest in Houston this weekend?
  12. We just got back from a long ass weekend. I'll let @closetojumping give his own thoughts, but in general...meh. The food, was fucking fantastic, as always. Piero's still has it's fastball, although who knows how long that will last. Dan's in the Fontainebleau was fucking exceptional. And the Casino was nice, I'd consider staying there over the Aria, because it's new and nice and you take a ride everywhere you're going anyway. The Aria...it's fine, but it needs a fucking facelift. The plates around the window buttons and lights literally fell off and was unattached. The sports book needs new, fully digital TV screens. It's clean, and all, but it's dated. One of the higher end casino's should never look dated for long, imo. Wizard of Oz at the Sphere was expensive, but worth the price of admission. Real cool. Other than that, our group might be done with Vegas. We'll see. When I got in, I ordered a double jack and diet coke, a double makers, and a red bull, from the bar by the Aria sports book. 92 dollars, before gratuity. The service by the hostess at the Aria book where we paid for seats, was shitty and inconsistent with the information we got from our concierge host. Just expensive and stale and inept from a city and hotel that are supposed to be built on hospitality, there certainly didn't seem to be a lot of fucking hospitality. Everyone else's complaints about vegas Ive read here and elsewhere seem pretty accurate. EDIT: Also, everyone should be sure to ask CloseToJumping on his experience with a cab driver who gaslit the fuck out of him.
  13. Welp. See you guys next season.
  14. Look like a walking penis and suck every one you come into contact with until you’ve got the job you wanted?
  15. Not specifically, but it’s heart and soul Spencer Hall is a Florida guy, so it had a ton of that flavor.
  16. That is sooooo much better. And at least is the first or last portion of his name. No one is lining up to calm Sarkisian by “kisi”
  17. Ok, it took me about 10 seconds to figure out Duzz was Narduzzi. Stop that shit.
  18. Or, like The Joker, are you just ahead of the curve?
  19. I'm questioning whether you know the difference between "schematic advantage" and just "advantage."
  20. It was a great spot for watching sports. We used to go there for games all the time. Sadly, it was never more than half full, hardly ever. I think they just got too big a spot for that part of town. I dunno. We were sad when it closed.
  21. For fuck's sake, Park. Don't threaten this board with a good time.
  22. This is irritating. If we're dealing with multiple weather delays while trying to enjoy this game in a Las Vegas sports book, we'll likely lose the game coverage and never get it back on a TV once it's gone. I like the under. And I *think* I also like Texas to cover the spread.
  23. I mean, I just want to understand the thinking. Derka probably would have whipped you up some Derka Dogs.
  24. Homeboy still lurks.
