  1. Your family is smart. That beer does taste like piss. It is only worth drinking if it is dirt cheap. There are so many better beers from Mexico.
  2. I always laugh when I see this picture. Most Republicans that feel this way probably do not realize how bad things are for the average Russian. Here in Asia, Russians are imported in to fill jobs (construction, manufacturing, sex work, etc.) and work along side people from developing countries because they can pay them the very low wages they pay people from the Philippines, China, India, Africa, Bangladesh, etc. Here in Korea, Russians are the 3rd largest group I see in the foreign sections of Busan and Seoul after Chinese and Filipinos. Russians are emigrating all over the world, in pretty large numbers, because so many Russians are struggling to get by.
  3. In the land of 1 brain cell, the man with 2 brain cells is king.
  4. Books I have read recently that I would recommend that I have not seen mentioned here: Battle Mage by Peter Flannery. Epic Fantasy. Mankind fighting a losing battle versus demons. Stand alone. The Witcher Books by Andrzej Sapkowski. The Witcher video games and TV show were adapted from these collections of short stories and a couple novels by a Polish author. Easy reading in short bursts. Fatemarked series (completed - 5 books) by David Estes. Fantasy. Completed. Certain people are born with skin markings that mark their special powers. Will these powers be enough to fight back an invasion of inhuman monsters or will their prejudices and hatreds of each other stand in the way. The Kharkanas Trilogy (2 of 3 completed) by Steven Erikson. If you liked the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, you will want to read this prequel dealing with the Tiste, Mother Dark, Draconus, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin. The Bees (novel) by Laline Paull. If you liked Watership Down by Richard Adams, then you will probably like this book. The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. Scifi. Autistic individual is given a chance to be "cured", but would he still be himself? How would he be changed?
  5. Try Armor by John Steakley.
  6. That homie is scrared AF. Cops man. He has seen what happens to dogs when the cops come.
  7. The GQP and the Trumpanzee brigade doesn't really care about the military or police. They are just props and a way to "virtue signal" fellow GQP/Trumpanzees about how "patriotic" they are. The minute the military or police inconvenience them they will ignore them or become hostile to them, as we have seen repeatedly during the last year or so.
  8. The rub of this whole thing had me thinking it would have an explosive, messy finish for Watson. Put this tweet is tugging me into thinking he'll have a happy ending.
  9. But gorilla's have the smallest penis (1.25 inches) and testes among all male apes, so the genital size is a match.
  10. Except your kid in kindergarten or teenager on a date at the movie theater will not be packing when some mentally ill person walks in and starts blasting away. Being a victim has nothing to do with whether you have been firearm trained or not. It mostly has to do with being in the wrong place at the wrong time and unprepared for what is coming, armed or not. The NRA is such a joke. The next time I go back to the USA, I am going to dig into storage and I am throwing my NRA marksmanship medals I got as a kid in the trash. Fuck being associated with this clown show in any way, even if it was decades ago.
  11. This is fucking stupid considering how many people are adopted or consider people who did not give birth them their mothers, as the woman who gave birth to them, could not or would not, care for them.
  12. That move is known as the "Mangino".
  13. I mainly just want to see a more run focused offensive system under the next coach. Whatever form that ends up being. Something like what Snyder ran at KSU would be ideal. Lean heavily on the run, but when you get a good dual threat QB, then open up and pass more. Those seasons are when you will have a chance at a breakthrough season, but the rest of the time you will be competitive and have a shot at a bowl game most of the time. Leipold seems to fit this mold better than Monken, but I would take the triple option in a heartbeat over another coach implementing a pass heavy offense when we lack talent and our undermanned defense gets worn out by halftime.
  14. The 2008 Orange Bowl season has a lot of people thinking KU can still do that again, running a spread, even though that season was a combination of scheduling and a bunch of two and low 3 star kids developing into NFL caliber talents in a way that rarely happens in Lawrence, KS. Not to mention the spread is everywhere now, including in the B10 and SEC, and not just in a few conferences like it was in 2008. Spread talent is much harder to come by now for a school like KU that will be fighting for the left over spread recruits with the G5 and other P5 recruiting bottom feeders. There is less competition for recruits that would shine in a running oriented systems if we went that road. There are a lot of idiots saying the triple option is boring on KU boards, especially compared to the KC Chiefs offense up the road from Lawrence. You know what is exciting idiots? Winning. If the next coach, Monken, Leipold, Saban or the Buddha, thinks having a running heavy offense will help us win in the B12, then hope they are right, and let them run it.
  15. Some KU fans, me included, agree with this and have been arguing for a running heavy system for most of the past decade. We will always struggle to pull in talent that compares to the top half of the B12 running some form of the spread or passing heavy offense. We would find it much easier to get a top option QB since so few schools run it now days. Running back is the easiest position to recruit good players at. Just have to get some disciplined, solid lineman. We would be much harder to prepare for as a unique offense in the B12, would control the clock, and keep games closer. Our floor each season would be substantially higher IMO, even if the ceiling is lower. And this is KU FB. We will be at the floor most of the time and almost never at our ceiling, especially with the round robin schedule where you won't get lucky and dodge the top teams that year sometimes. Army's Monken is one of the 2 coaches most wished for on KU fans wish list at this time. The other is Buffalo's Leipold. We'd be lucky to land either and both currently use run heavy systems. Goff would be a solid AD hire with the chance to be a home run. It would have been nice to get a successful sitting P5 AD, but with FB being in the toilet, and possible sanctions in the future looming, it was going to be hard to attract those guys away from another P5 school. Plus, he would not be tied to a current FBHC like the candidates from Army and Tulane so won't play favorites in our FB coaching search. Supposedly, he is also Self's favorite choice as well.
  16. Do not visit SelfLoveU. I got my tissues and lube and settled back for a couple minutes of relaxation. The channel is a shitty emotional self-help channel. I thought it was a masturbation technique channel. I could not even get an erection from the crazy chick giving advice. I am disappoint.
  17. Jimmy Buffett gonna sue y'alls ass to Bolivia. Look, us and Jimmy Buffet's people... got this little misunderstanding. See they're MaRgaritaville. We're MaGaritaville. They have the parrot. Ours is the shaman. See they got Jimmy's Jammin' Jambalaya. We got Donny's Lyin' Gumbo. We both got Cajun rice, shrimp, chicken, Andouille sausage and a spicy broth. But they cook their rice in the pot. Our rice is cooked separately.
  18. Things are starting to heat up between Russia/Belarus and the Ukraine again. Troops and equipment being massed along the border. https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-accuses-ukraine-provoking-clashes-090420442.html https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/russia-invade-ukraine-000000688.html
  19. Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans generally think little of each other due to a long history of issues and conflicts with each other. They think even less of SE Asians. They are okay with whites, but browns and blacks will get discriminated against pretty badly sometimes. Non-white expats tell some crazy stories of shit that is done or said to them sometimes. Stuff that is outside the usual anti-foreigner crap you will experience in almost every country, in some form or another, if you live there for an extended time. Luckily, at least in Korea, and probably Japan and China too, the younger generations (under 50) are increasingly more open and less bigoted/racist. It is probably because they increasingly watch media, listen to music, and engage in pop culture from around Asia and the rest of the world, and not just from their own culture. The social progress I have seen in Korea in the decade I have been here has been substantial.
  20. I am starting to think he is the son Trump wishes he had. Chases underage tail, brags about his "conquests", had a father who could cover all his fuck ups, does stupid shit to get attention, pals around with morally bankrupt people, lies a lot, and he wears ill-fitting suits.
  21. Hopefully Texas wakes up like Kansas did after 2 terms of Brownback and elects a Dem governor just to get some backwards ass shit fixed or gotten rid of. Honestly, I was considering Texas if I returned to the U.S. since several of my siblings live there now; however, after the past year it is off the list based on the current state of affairs in TX and the apparent downward trend of sanity in the state government there.
  22. No wonder Trump likes Gaetz so much. Since Epstein got arrested and then deep sixed, maybe Gaetz was his able to hook Trump up with Greenberg. I'm only half-joking.
