  1. Jesus Christ. Really?
  2. I was one of the founding members of an unusual startup that went public. After the original CEO was pushed out, the new guy ascended from President to CEO. Nice guy, reasonably bright, but definitely "in the club". We struggled to achieve consistent profitability because we overbuilt our factory too early in the game and our overhead was too high. That said, the year we finally broke through to an annual profit it became a loss . . . because of exectutive bonuses. It was at that point things were clarified for me.
  3. Thanks, I had to search all games and it showed up on the banner page.
  4. I don't see it. I'll look again.
  5. Yup. "Ewwww" (Not an exact transcription.) And why not?
  6. Is there any reason to keep ESPN+ over the rest of the semester + summer? I'm looking at swapping for SEC+.
  7. Maybe "hopeless fuckstick" or "stupid Nazi dumbass" might be acceptable?
  8. Pork is pretty common in very traditional Texas chili. Beer? Coffee? Nah. Plus the other shit. Not saying it might not be delicious, but it's just not traditional/authentic, which does sorta mean something.
  9. Where is ReMax on that spectrum? We tried to sell my then-fiance's house via some ReMax couple and they failed miserably. I called a well-known Austin realtor while we were on our honeymoon and she basically had the place improved and sold by the time we got back.
  10. If the trial judge imposes a (relatively) light sentence that MIGHT get voided (if the appeal is successful), does that sentence stick or is it also up for review?
  11. Man, that makes me furious. I don't care how rough your situation is, don't abandon your dog.
  12. The flip side of that argument: recruits will flock to the schools that have the most and highest draft picks. (And money.)
  13. Who judges that?
  14. OK, so why is the defendant (who has been convicted and sentenced) not in prison during the appeal? It seems that would be emminently fair. Convicted, sentenced, go to prison. Bada bing bada boom. "Oh, you won on appeal? OK, you walk. Sue for damages."
  15. Beard's modus operandi was certainly known before he got here. So was Penders'. I assume that was true of Barnes as well, but I never really paid attention to his Clemson teams, other than when he stood toe to toe with Dean Smith, which was hilarious.
  16. Honest question for which I should probably know the answer: is sentencing always delayed until the appeal process has been exhausted?
  17. If this timeline had been pitched to a Hollywood production company 20 years ago they would have laughed everyone out of the room.
  18. What about your mom?
  19. I'd bet good money this is the #1 reason for separate beds. I snore, but we're still in the same bed, 24 years in. My wife does slap me on the forehead now and again, though.
