  1. Oh, only 1/3 of the carpet. That’s a lot of vomit. Or a crime scene cleaner. Either or.
  2. He didn't want to go to jail. He did want to be president. He wants to grift money. Looks like he's getting what he wants to me.
  3. Lets see here... 1) Deranged, message board equivalent of verbal incontinence who is obsessed with Texas A&M. Hopefully is dead. 2) Idiotic Troll and serial liar who's wrist should be surgically attached to the inside of his rectum. 3) Almost certainly autistic, likely institutionalized, 100% mentally ill fucking idiot who certainly must be a contemptible, vile version of Milton from Office Space. Also obsessed with Texas A&M. 4)Living embodiment of the "Dumbest Motherfucker Alive" gif by Robert Downey Jr from Tropic Thunder, this weapon's grade imbecile does a fuck ton of drugs, has an IQ under 70, and despite literally dozens of patient explanations, still can't figure out the multi-quote function. Will SPAM every thread on the 995 board in the middle of the night and ruin everyone's fucking morning.
  4. "Northern Virginia" is not a city.
  5. HOLY SHIT YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES INVENTED THE HALF YOUR AGE +7 FORMULA?!?! YOU'RE FAMOUS.
  6. Explain this, contextually, and how it applies to the situation in LA as opposed to just being a stupid piece of shitposting you wanted to share with no commentary?
  7. My first trip to Vegas, we stayed at the Luxor. I grew up watching all of those cool commercials about it right when it first launched on the strip. For a first trip to Vegas, it was fine, although obviously not the highest end. But it was cool, never seen anything like it. Of course, this was 2003 or 2004. I also read that article in SF Gate several months back. It's a hell of a read for anyone who stayed has there. But I'll cite your post as illustrative; when the fact that your hotel room carpet being fucking MOIST when you checked in isn't the most disappointing part of your stay...whelp.
  8. Tell that to this unwashed mass of moochery.
  9. The big question is, does he/the restaurant own the building? If it's a long term lease, what's the story there? If not, are you trying to buy a piece of property in downtown Austin? You're probably talking millions of dollars. The second thing would be rules around a bunch of these twatwaffles who three down tree fiddy coming in every day saying "I'm an owner my shit is free."
  10. All of you are slipping. It's South Austin's Mom.
  11. I dunno, I'm just trying to math into their 55 million number. And this paragraph: As part of the NCAA House settlement finalized this past Friday, Texas Tech is now permitted to share up to $20.5 million of its departmental-generated revenue directly with student-athletes beginning in the 2025–26 academic year. To support this transformational change, the Red Raider Club will be responsible for generating $14 million annually to help fund Texas Tech Athletics' new revenue-sharing model. This funding will also support student-athlete scholarships, academic resources, professional development, leadership programming, nutritional offerings and more. The remaining portion of the revenue-sharing commitment will be supported by University investment and additional athletics-generated revenue streams.
  12. Yeah, it's not back. Looch is just going to throw around "texags 5 star" to inflate the value of the guys he thinks A&M can land. If you squint, it's also a way Liucci subtly ups his own credibility as an "evaluator," as well as a way to spit shine their class to really be more talented than that BOMC allows. Which hits on their grievance, which helps perpetuate their cycle of insecurity, etc. It's magical. They really are a perpetual motion machine of tiny-dicked insecurity.
  13. Pretty sure it's 20.5 from the athletic director budget, the 14.5 is additional fundraising they want to have on top of that, and then 20 million in revenue sharing that will be handled by the university for their total NIL budget of 55 million.
  14. If there is one book on that list I'd skip, it might be Insomnia. I mean, it's fine, other than the fact that it is LONG AF. And yes, the tires are directly into the last section of the Dark Tower w. the Crimson King, and the kid. But man. It really just didn't add all that much, honestly, imo. Hearts of Atlantis is the opposite, it's a solid read and obviously directly ties into things from a character perspective.
  15. That's another reason why he's a terrible candidate for president. He will galvanize all the shitty conservatives who are tired of Trump to vote for him, or whoever else, again, because "it's commie Gavin Newsome! I had no other choice." Let newsom be the face of MAGA resistance, and let someone else run for president.
  16. I've watched both mini-series, and read the book. Read the book. It's not that it's that different...it's really all the shit you miss. One of my favorite chapters in the book with when The Judge confronts the man in black in crow form on the road. Doesn't exist in either mini-series that I remember. This is about to be a movie, right? Jumping in here just to expand my Surly threads I check portfolio. I went on a mission before my son was born to read all of the Dark Tower and Dark Tower connected books. I can't find the website I followed, but it was some version of this, with some more things added in. I know I also read Bag of Bones as part of the series, and Jerusalem's Lot. IT was also part of my Dark Tower reading list, as well, and The Mist. I skipped the Stand both times, as I'd read the uncut and remembered it well in Junior High, but everything else I read except I think Rose Madder. It was a fun exercise, although have to admit I'm one of the posters that sort of sides with the concept that Stephen King has unparalleled world building and concept guy, but doesn't quite always close his narratives in a satisfying way. Of the stuff above, I actually really enjoyed the double Desperation/Regulators novels, and count me as a guy who loved The Talisman and Black House. Maybe because I think Straub really brings something to the prose, I dunno. I haven't read much since I had my son, and I'm trying to force my way back into what used to be a couple books a month habit now, and I've waded back in with some easy shit, lots of Nelson Demille's John Corey books, some Dean Koontz, but the first book back was Firestarter, which was a solid little fun Stephen King read, for anyone who hasn't. From the looks of this thread, I really need to read (maybe watch too?) the 11/22/63 book. And I'm pretty motherfucking excited for Life of Chuck. Mike Flannagan is a motherfucking movie and TV witch, and I am excited to see him dig his teeth into the dark tower considering he pretty much only hits home runs, in my estimation.
  17. I read IJ once, with no supplemental materials. Brilliance mixed with tedium. I’ll re-read it again one day, backwards, and skip all the chapters with the Canadian revolutionary talking to the government agent.
  18. To be fair, the Luxor is beneath damn near anyone, and at this point I'm including homeless people. The Mandalay Bay is still a luxury hotel. The Luxor is a filthy shitipile I wouldn't stay at for free. The fact that you're even attempting to equate them in your post defies rational explanation, it's like saying "For those of you who think you're too good to eat at Jean Georges Steakhouse or that half eaten burger sitting in a pool of vomit on the sidewalk, well, I guess there's a Shake Shack nearby."
  19. God the 2A Ball shit never fails to make me fucking laugh. They're on a fucking sports message board, that claims to have fans of college football and recruiting, and yet they've never been willing to admit that both other famous mannings, NFL hall of Famers, went to the exact same 2A fucking HS. "2A HS player, he'll never be successful." Gosh if only there was any kind of historical litmus test we could look at for college football players with the last name Manning, from LA, and who went to a very specific 2A High School and how they fared at the College, and then NFL level. If only.
  20. It's pure jealousy. My wife has insomnia and trouble falling asleep, I'm asleep within 15 minutes of my head hitting the pillow. I can also take afternoon naps and she can't. "I think you take too much melatonin before bedtime, that can't be good for you." Oh yeah, which one of the two us has healthy sleep patterns, lady?
  21. Yeah. I've been alright getting up early since a job at a golf course by 6 am on weekends. The rest of my life has just been mission creep for earlier times. In my 20's it was waking up at 530 to go on runs. Then when I did crossfit, the early class was at 5:30, so that means getting up at like 5:15. Then with the kiddo coming around (I'm also morning duty), it was 4:45. Then it was this fucking dog who wakes me up multiple times a night because it's like "Breakfast yet?!?!" By the time I'm retired I'll be bewildered by all the old people who wait until the dead of night at 5:30 pm to go to Luby's.
  22. No. Achooloco has been around for while. You're thinking of Luka, who's also upstream.
  23. It helps im a morning person. But I’ve also noticed that my workouts in the evening are substantially weaker than in the morning.
  24. I wake up at 415 to work out. Get it you pussy.
