  1. "If you're explaining, you're losing - Abraham Lincoln" -- Michael Scott
  2. Colin Allred is what happens when you order your Wes Moore from Wish.
  3. Same. This dude looks like he could beat Ben Shapiro to death with Nick Fuentes.
  4. Red Foxx was 49 years old when Sanford & Son premiered….5 years younger than I am now…
  5. "Trickle Down" was a good sound bite from folksy Ronald Reagan. Then I took economics in high school, and learned there was a demand side of the equation. Then I took macro and micro in college, and thought "that's some simple-jack shit that won't work". Then in the 2000s and 2010s, we got to watch all the up and comer Republican governors with presidential aspirations try it and fail, and finally we watched what corporations did when they got a tax break. (Narrator: They paid huge bonuses to executives and bought back stock while laying off front line employees) With their economic policies a proven failure, they leaned into the culture war. Then Rush made it cool to be an asshole, and they just kept getting weirder.
  6. Sega Rally on Dreamcast was the tits.
  7. @Brisketexan and I were discussing this over beers one night...MLB Clubhouses have to be the oddest place in American professional sports. Over here, you've got Bryce, Chaz, and Braxton, who grew up upper middle-class, played travel ball non-stop from 2nd grade on, had a new $600 bat every year, a gear bag with your name and number embroidered on it, took private lessons 3 nights a week, etc. Over there, you've got Juan and Pedro, who grew up hitting washers shot out of a slingshot with a piece of PVC pipe they found in an alley, playing barefoot in a field, and using a piece of old car tire for a glove.
  8. Hasn’t even said she’s a good mom even though she’s not white
  9. Totally relatable guy. Nothing weird about cat ladies or anything
  10. The boy and I just got back from Permit fishing in Mexico. Couldn’t have asked for better weather. Almost no wind and clouds were mostly gone by 9:30-10:00 every morning. Hot AF, though. First morning of the trip I stuck an 80ish pound Tarpon. He jumped 4 times after the eat, ran me 200 yards into my fly line backing, and jumped twice more before I fought him all the way back to the boat. I had him boat side, but he was still very green when the jr guide tried to grab the leader and turn his head. Fish jumped, ran again and cut my leader on her gill plate or something. Technically a caught fish, since the guide had his hands on the leader, but I didn’t get the hero picture. Oh well, here’s a few stills from the iPhone video my son shot. as for Permit, jr smoked his old man again with 3 fish landed to my one. Mine was tiny, too. The Permit equivalent of a 14” rat red. Here’s Rojo Jr’s This last fish was a tank. Had to chase it down with the boat so it didn’t spool him. They jumped out of the boat to stalk it, and as soon as Jr came tight on it the guide started screaming for the jr guide to bring up the boat because he knew they’d have to chase it.
  11. A woman is something you've never touched, Charlie.
  12. Bryan seems to be rotating opening acts fairly often. Don't know if Isbell asked for breaks or what, but Isbell opened for him in Houston a couple weeks ago , but not San Antonio a few nights later.
  13. Beto posted a picture on his insta of himself with Jason with a caption of "Have fun in Chicago, Jason" or something like that..
  14. In a year where Ds nationally have finally found their footing and have come out of their corner landing big hooks, we nominate a sentient stock photo of a not TOO black guy.
  15. You could go in there on a weekday afternoon and have the place pretty much to yourself. Cheap beer and cold AC, but you best be gone no later than 5:30. Waaaay different place at night.
  16. A competent party would be hammering rural Texas with "Under 30 years of Republican leadership, your electric grid has gotten worse and Abbott and company are allowing Chinese bitcoin miners to make it even worse. Your schools have gotten worse and Abbott and company want to kill them once and for all by diverting state money to private schools in Dallas and Houston. Rural healthcare is hanging on by a thread and Abbott and company refuse to expand Medicare."
  17. RAM Bro, I'm out.
  18. And while we're at it, bar them from Waste Management's and DR Horton's "Ranches"
  19. Fine, you drive a hard bargain. We'll go 50/50, but the Pastor has to pay his BIL out of his 50%. Call him the PE coach or something.
  20. Wokeness also killed his growth spurt
  21. If I were an amoral shitbag, I'd start an online school company, and get a big cross to hang around my neck and a couple American flag and cross lapel pins. Then I'd hit every Baptist/Church of Christ/Evangelical strip mall church in rural Texas and tell them they can become a "Private School" for the purpose of collecting voucher money from the State of Texas. We will provide the learning platform, you provide a couple church ladies to make sure the kids are working and not sharing answers (wink, wink) and we'll split the money 60/40. The 60% is for me of course, because we're providing the "Learning platform".
  22. Yea, we were on the other side of the pool hall. We used to go in there in the afternoon and play cheap pool for a couple hours. Made the mistake of going in there at night once. Lasted about 5 minutes and never made that mistake again.
