  1. IMO weed isn't powerful enough to overcome good parenting, so make sure you are instilling worthwhile values and character that she can use when the tough decisions/situations come. Yeah it relaxes you and lowers your inhibitions a bit, but I've been around plenty of smokers, and weed doesn't make good people any less of good people, but it does put "adventurous" people in spots where that trait can get them in trouble.
  2. Breckyn talks like he is having a conversation with the stoners from the party at the moontower on Dazed & Confused. Martha Washington, man. She was a hip, hip lady.
  3. I'll have a half of whatever this guy's having.
  4. Damn y'all people lived in a different f'n universe than my friends and I on the same exact campus.
  5. I would think so. I can think of a few that we missed out on, if we count Warren, who is apparently going to make a roster but couldn't put it together here. Dobbins and Ronald whatever at USC come to mind. 2015 was the last time Texas even had 3 RBs in the top 10 players in the state, we don't really produce tons of 5-star RBs period. 2015 had Warren, Jones and Jamabo. 2 of them will play in the league, so that's 1 bust that I see. They're probably the most heralded Rb class in the past 5 years so, yeah.....
  6. I'm leaning this way, too. A good friend of mine--smart, TexasEx, successful in sales, animal rights advocate--is a full on Trump supporter. Several of us were discussing this recently & when confronted with Trump's racist underpinnings she simply replied that his personal failings were not a priority for her. She wants lower taxes/elimination of inheritance tax. That's it. Nothing else matters. I really do respect this. Not in the "let me say I respect both sides' opinions because I'm civil" way, but in the "if you're truly not racist then just admit that your money and greed is more important that your fellow Americans' well-being to you so that I can know exactly why to not respect *you*" way. At least be upfront, I can accept that and move along, because your world-view is of no concern to me at that point.
  7. I've seen him get beat too, but im not close to the worry point yet. Very few guys in the league can handle someone like Geno Atkins.
  8. IMO the character/development were what drove the show past others in its realm (BB). Everybody in Tony's family had a fully fleshed out character and was genuinely interesting (even if AJ was a dickhead), then you can branch out to Uncle Jr., Tony's mom, Tony's sister, and they all have fleshed out characters, and that's before you even get into the Soprano crime "family"... Watching for the 2nd time, I think I'm in S3, Janice just did in Richie Aprile, I haven't seen it in a while, completely forgot that's how he died. Crazy, but also unfulfilling, really wanted to see worse for him.
  9. Absolutely there is. In Houston's 2nd Ward/East-end area I remember eating Rally's every once in a while, and I must have been like 6-7 years old, but I remember a drive-in that might have been Rally's or might have been something else, but we would go there often and get onion rings and those are cool memories. Probably somewhere off Navigation kinda near the ship channel, as we lived off Navigation/Canal.
  10. Yeah that's actually true. I guess an actual shot to start is what I meant.
  11. Maybe he loves the game and just wants to get some real playing time for the first time in his career. He's clearly capable. Maybe he wants a leg up on a grad degree. I'd think the connections he made here are already solidified, he's a graduate and a 4-year player.
  12. Wish it would've worked out for him, but seems like he maxed out on potential. He wasn't ever fast or quick enough to be isolated on an island, but I do think he improved greatly from his RS Freshman year to last year, he actually looked confident and in the right spots last year. Hard to be a RS Senior and see some 18 year olds pass you up though. Let him go get that playing time at another D-I school and enjoy what he worked hard for, being a high-floor/low-ceiling guy that can be dependable. Also, give him credit for opening up the new wave of Houston Lamar guys, he led to Holton, Holton to our 3 new freshmen. Before Bonney it had been since Orakpo.
  13. Ignoring them is what led to people like Miller and Bannon and Sessions all being in Trump's white house with serious influence. Think this argument through a little bit better. Then we can take it to CR.
  14. The buddy that I went with, who was on his 4th visit to CDMX didn't Uber when we got out of the Airport, and I didn't ask bc it was my first time there, he hails an *unmarked* cab that took us a few blocks before he handed us a menu of destinations that said a trip to Roma Norte was going to be like $40. Stupid idea. I realized my friend wasn't as smart nor experienced as he claimed at that moment.
  15. Now what the shit is this?!? You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention....
  16. I'm not one to claim to know all the ins & outs of the program, but wasn't word around the team last year that CJ fell off as the year wore on because he didn't want to mix it up outside (either at the LOS or run blocking, or both)..... ironic picture is ironic....
  17. Is this really just to ward off dude's glares? Because it's effective and incredibly annoying. There's one girl I've seen doing this at my gym, and she has an ass that is absolutely worth staring at. It's a damn shame. And she's one of those that comes into the gym to pretty much do legs/glutes and abs and not a single thing else. Ass sweat? Hole in the pants? wtf.
  18. Santa Fe store clerk calls police on man "because he's being arrogant, because he's black."
  19. GREAT words, thanks!
  20. Playing my 7th or 8th round ever on Saturday. But my first ever after having actual instruction (summer clinic out in Kyle, not necessarily 1-on-1). Hopefully I'll see improvement. Played Bluebonnet last month and hit my first ever Birdie on that Par 3 on the front half. Got within 3 feet from the box. Y'all seem to be a tiny bit further along in development than I am. Just a bit.
  21. Guess I can only speak for the millenials born in the 4-5 year frame around me because I do everything you just mentioned, including having my first internet experience be a free trial disc of AOL (and then NetZero, etc.). I'd argue that if someone is young enough to have never operated a desktop they're probably not a millenial, not everyone born after 85 is a millenial, there's a new generation up (Z? What are they?)...... we're all getting older now... yadda yadda.... Excatly who I'm talking about. The ones most likely to get trolled/straight up lied to and spread it, or even fall for the phishing scams on FB or through e-mail.
  22. It's like all the olds who told my fellow millenials to watch what you put online bc the world can see it then promptly got online without a clue to how the internet works and then proceeded to herp-derp their way all over Facebook and now Twitter. They were never prepared for the way the internet operates (except for ArmyBrat, that dude is a fucking savant).
  23. The Sopranos and The Wire. GoT fell off my Top 5 after this last fan ball-fondling (fan service) season.
  24. Sent the absolutely minimum amount I felt comfortable with. Let me know where I go to get the sunshine pumped up my ass and also where the old NSFA section is.
  25. Close! Just an HBO fan. I got 2 shows ahead of Breaking Bad on my list, and we both know what they are, but I don't think Breaking Bad necessarily challenges either seriously for a Top 2 spot. IMNSHO.
