  1. Fond memories because the last time I saw those was my grandmother’s house. I was little back then so it never bothered me.
  2. The lack of change from 2007 to now vs then is pretty amazing. The movie was set in a totally different era vs 2007 to today. Even the first iPhone came out in 2007.
  3. Those teams did it despite Pierce no because of him.. Called that last year. Pierce was riding on talent that wanted to play for Texas. Then he made himself the pitching coach and even screwed the talent part up. Troy Tulowitzki saved his ass for a couple years.
  4. There’s still people talking about ways this team makes the CWS?? 😂
  5. Pierce was not a great talent evaluator to start, deciding to be the pitching coach this year was the death blow to the season and his job.
  6. While funny because aggy, the fact that you can transfer in one window then out a few months later is ridiculous. Has to be some limits atleast.
  7. Seemed to work much better than the 23 hours in their cells 1 out, but they definitely nitpicked the inmates chosen for a good outcome.
  8. I think I’m more of an emotional drinking alcoholic if that makes sense? I can go times without drinking some but when I get in my head and things are going bad in life I turn to drinking so I can numb the thoughts. But then a bad day turns to a drunk Friday night, that turns to a drunk starting kinda early Saturday, that turns to a let’s numb the hangover and thoughts of Saturday to early Sunday funday to possibly doing the same Monday then I continue. If I’m in my head it’s an endless cycle and I know what’s going on but I keep doing it. I go thru times where I can drink normally when I’m in a good headspace but once I start to spiral mentally it’s the cycle and it’s the drinking keeps me in the negative headspace. So to me it’s starts as using it as an avoidance but the drinking keeps me in the initial thinking I was using it to avoid.
  9. Not sure where to put this but Dave Portnoy has evidently won 5.4 million gambling this year. Most from bets on UConn and Scheffller but that’s pretty amazing. I’d predict he loses as much next year but that’s a damn good run. My biggest was turning an initial $200 into $4k my first year betting on college football years ago. (MACtion overs hit like every week that year) Then my friend turned me onto the casino part of the website and I turned that 4K into like 10k at one point. Then we kept drinking a lot and casino playing and eventually I had $0 lol. I played roulette and covered all numbers but two as an experiment at one point and two times in a row it hit the two other numbers. lol. Once online casino wants you to lose, you lose.
  10. I thought it was really good. Definitely not what I expected. The guy playing himself did a really good job.
  11. A slightly hurt ankle doesn’t make you fall down as soon as anyone touches you..
  12. We did tip her well, she was done with the crowd by the time her shift ended though lol. Is there low income housing in Port A? Where do all those old meth head locals live?? @justhookit There were more than a few at Shorty’s yesterday.
  13. The last hope for revolt was when the Wagner guy was marching towards Moscow. Then his dumbass stopped and got himself killed. Not sure if that would have been better but the opposition news has dropped drastically since. Seems like since around that time everyone In Russia is like, ok it is what it is. No news of crowds protesting or anything.
  14. In no one’s mind was that a good choice looking back now…. It was also with an agreement they never actually did.
  15. At Shorty’s 78th anniversary party. Great weekend with perfect weather to be down here.
  16. John Cusack in New Orleans for a Texas Tulane game, he was filming something. Muggsy Bogues in the Bahamas, he was high AF. Mark Cuban at a bar after Texas OU. Dusty Hill, Smothers Brothers, Cheech, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Jane Seymour, Shooter McGavin, Too Tall Jones, Barry Zito, many I didn’t know or don’t remember at Bohemian Grove. Sure I’m missing a few, in my mid 20’s I ran high class catering events on the weekends in Northern California.
  17. Then the interim coach wins a few games and everyone pressures the school into keep him. Let me know if you’ve heard this before... Jk totally different, that one had great talent. Yea no sense in firing him mid season but get to work finding the replacement.
  18. Got damn that’s a lot of hate.. I love Penelope’s travel posts and never had a problem with her, but I’ve seen a lot of random negs towards her in the travel forum for no reason. While cloakroom might not be the leading board in negs, I bet most of these people’s negs were gave out in cloakroom or stemming from it. The random negs on normal posts in other topics start somewhere and end up elsewhere and they go both ways. To me it’s crazy posters carry a feud to other topics but it happens all the time.
  19. Lack of artillery shells, missiles and air support, are definitely a huge issue but soldier fatigue and lack of rotation from the front lines is also a huge issue. (There’s been plenty of articles about that recently) Their best skilled soldiers have been fighting for a long time and dying at a rate higher than Ukraine is reporting, I’d trust our estimates more. Then you get to the B team and reserves and if you know anything about our reserve soldiers, they aren’t the same as regular soldiers. Both issues are worrisome. Also Russia is finally adjusting from their past mistakes slowly. Ukraine definitely needs way more supplies to hold off the endless wave of meat grinders Russia can send in the next couple years. Putin’s demise is still the best option for this to end anytime soon.
  20. The Texas State kid is really odd. Disappeared on the side of the road, I think his clothes were found at his car, might have been high AF but dogs should have been able to find his body if he just wondered off.
  21. It was another player that was following him…. That’s the conspiracy view or possibly the truth.
  22. It’s not like it’s limited to the music industry. Any profession where people feel like they have so much power, music, movies, politics, Fortune 500, ect. There’s a fine line between I can get what I want because of who I am and then abusing that power and taking it further to a dark place.
