  1. On glass? Acrylic?
  2. Yeah, this seems obvious. A single house, maybe an adjacent house or two, but at some point the water flow just isn't enough when an entire neighborhood is burning. People WANT that level of protection but they sure don't want to pay for it.
  3. If you're weirder than Grimes, then . . . damn. Parents of the Century.
  4. Actually CU is great for aerospace engineering. My cousin did his MS & PhD there and has crushed it at Lockheed-Martin. Senior Fellow & Chief Engineer, pretty much top of the tech track.
  5. My starter wife grew up in Cleveland. ~ 1996 we flew to Ohio and borrowed her parents K car for an extended vacation up through Buffalo, Niagra Falls, Boston, NYC and back to Ohio. "Holy shit" was a phrase coined to describe that car. It was simultaneously ugly, too heavy, underpowered and it handled like a wildebeast.
  6. Did anyone ever put out a decent UT-Omaha shirt?
  7. "and has shown zero contrition about making a gesture that looked exactly like a Nazi salute". NO. It WAS a Nazi salute. Gah, modern media is infuriating. Stop cutting these evil people slack.
  8. Once again, your bigotry is showing. Fuck off.
  9. My granddad made liver and onions every morning for breakfast. Man, I cannot stand liver.
  10. Go for the trifecta? I'll actually save it this time.
  11. Years ago I read an article that exclusively carved out children of ambassadors and other foreign dignitaries who were born on US soil as those not "subject to the jurisdiction of" clause.. I have no idea if that was sound legal theory or not. I'm still working on my post-doc research in infectious diseases, it's gonna be a while before I get around to conlaw.
  12. It's a ridiculously easy salsa to make. Someone posted a good knockoff recipe here at some point. I'll see if I can find it.
  13. Your dad played when he was 80? And he was only a sophomore?
  14. Wrigley's pissers have a center row of urinals on either side of a half wall that face inward. You're looking right at the dude pissing across from you. I was doing my business across from "Chris Farley", but it was after he had died. It was his brother. He rolled his eyes when he saw the look on my face and said "yeah, Chris was my brother". #csb
  15. Yeah, my kid broke the clavicle up near his shoulder. There must be two of them.
  16. Sometimes they had a sad little mostly full can of Old Bay.
  17. I heard some recent Kim Gordon song on (I think) KUTX a month or so ago. More of an electronic vibe than Sonic Youth. I'd pay to see it. I'd also pay to see DinoJr (again). Decisions.
  18. Texas fans want to win. People were perfectly happy with Barnes after Penders, and their two styles could not have been more different. Same with Beard following Shaka. Winning slow beats not winning as much fast any day of the week.
  19. I buy Mercer knives and keep them in plastic shields in a drawer. I can't tell you how many times my wife or kids have put one of my Mercers in the drawer without the shield and put some random piece of shit in a shield.
  20. Thanks, appreciate it. I need a haircut anyway.
  21. Well, that's kinda cool. I guess I need to find out how to buy a hard copy of Creem.
  22. I guess one silver lining is that we're (probably) doing this before KU, MSU, UTenn, Ark, St. John's, Oregon, Houston & Gonzaga (among others), and most of them will be facing the same problem.
  23. One problem with "big game hunting" is that a lot of the big game is getting up there in years (Self, Izzo, Cal (*cough), Pitino (*cough), Barnes, Altman, Few). We wouldn't even think of pursuing a couple of them and most of the others would be uninterested. Beard's out of the question. I doubt Hurley would consider it, but I guess you ask. Same with Oats. Pretty soon you're taking chances, and understandably so.
