  1. Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I was in it for a while, it was nothing in terms of religious indoctrination, just a sorta-Christian, sorta athletic thing. Hanging out and signaling virtue, not much else. Perhaps some other "chapters" were more militant. That is my question.
  2. And that's when the screenplays started really closely following the books, followed by Green Mile, even lifting dialog straight from the book. The Mist went a little awry. A massive improvement in King-based film. And yes, Red was paroled in the novella and decided to join Andy in Mexico, but the story didn't include him getting there.
  3. Yeah freezing your balls off and having your hands go numb is pretty collateral to most workout objectives. Eventually, yes, you may generate enough heat to no longer be uncomfortable, but it takes a while and may involve layering and stripping off layers. It's like working out in a 15-20 mph wind. I understand shivering and teeth chattering does burn some calories.
  4. And, I think once someone has remained unemployed for that long, they are no longer counted as part of the workforce.
  5. So, as I posted in the other thread, I kind of doubt that these TP chapters are going to produce a bunch of long-term fascists. But, it will probably produce a few GOP votes from those doing it to try to get poon. Or at least get near poon.
  6. Maybe we should test this proposition. The only school that comes to mind that hasn't hired a pretty abject failure over the last 25-30 years is Ohio State. Oregon seems to have had a pretty decent run since coming to prominence. Everyone else has their fair share of Strongs and Hermans.
  7. Very true about drunks, but also one of the first things they stop doing upon becoming sober, at least big public whoppers. Also note QJ just said he drank during games, not that he played shitfaced. Carrying on the proud tradition of Bobby Layne.
  8. Is it tal eric o or tall a rico?
  9. Scientific studies show serif fonts are easier to read in print (while sans serif easier on screens). Also that a ragged right edge (unjustified) is easier to read.
  10. That was one of the hilarious things about A Man In Full. Charlie Croker's yacht was called "First Draw," referring to the first draw on a construction loan.
  11. Given that we're approximately the same age, what was the FCA bullshit? It was really a student club, faculty sponsor was a coach, so it was kind of a nothing at my HS, but most of the jocks dabbled in it. YL was sponsored mostly out of a PCUSA church, so it was pretty milktoast, too. It was only later that I learned it had some darkish fundagelical origins and undertones.
  12. Well, the thing is, like Young Life, there was a vague notion among high school kids that it might be virtuous and that a lot of cool kids were doing it. But very few of them were actually very devout. Same kinda deal with FCA. Like Bozo said, kids that age are trying on costumes. This might result in quite a few more R votes from 18 year olds than otherwise.
  13. The first time I saw "Dance The Night Away" and The Mavericks on RDS or whatever, I thought it would be a Van Halen cover. And I thought that might be pretty spectacular.
  14. Finding a way to deal with the real estate is worthwhile, because it is a "titled asset" that doesn't have many real good workarounds. It's a hassle to deal with and may create a less-than-ideal title for subsequent sale. TOD/POD is as simple as any. Doing something similar is worthwhile for any bank accounts or IRAs, even if relatively small in amount. Other than that, you don't really need anything else. Competence is something of an issue with anything stepmother has to sign, but it is particularly acute with a power of attorney. Assuming there is anyone (heirs other greedy sumbitches) to contest anything.
  15. Who is this Gary character?
  16. Got that Octavia Spencer vibe goin.
  17. Is this just trickle-down from Thiel or does Stanford and the Silicon Valley have a systemic problem?
  18. Surprised they didn't bust out my personal favorite, "coal burner."
  19. Do you see that your own chart shows that inflation is on the rise again in 2025? Despite continuing distancing from the pressures of Covid?
  20. UU's financials. https://utahutes.com/documents/2025/1/21/FY24_NCAA_Revenue_and_Expense_Report.pdf tl;dr Revenue 109,793,853 Expenses $126,835,478
  21. I recently learned Dwight may be a shithead, but here's what he said back in October.
  22. Yeah, ostensibly the revenue for the vultures comes from licensing and marketing and shit. But where it's likely to come from really is ticket prices, concessions, and shit like pay toilets.
  23. Yeah, we wish stupid racists would be ashamed and quiet again. How bout da?
  24. What "conversation," you fucking idiot. If you want to put pull up bars, squat racks and kettlebells in airports just fucking do it.
