  1. Yamamato did have the sense to take out the fuel tanks and probably would have done so if he was involved in the actual battle. It was Nagumo who commanded the carriers in the attack and turned out to be a pussy and ran for home. Even if they had destroyed the fuel tanks, the war might have been different but not significantly so. For context, the US started the war with seven carriers and ended up with an astounding 105! On a side note, killing Yamamoto in '43 might have been a mistake by the US. His handling of the war was so poor, it might have been better to keep him alive! For example, he used his super battleship Yamato as his headquarters, so it sat in Tokyo Bay for the entire duration of the war until the very end, when it was easily sunk.
  2. As the only person here who has spent time w Quinn, I can assure that this is incorrect. If American carriers had been in Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, we would all be speaking Uzbek today.
  3. I've successfully blocked most memories from those years, but vaugely recall there were Charlie Strong tee-shirts.
  4. I think we finally have the Surly Horns brand tagline!!!
  5. Brining back some good memories:
  6. I think you misunderstood! I asked ChatGPT to take your dad's original idea, which is great, and expand on it in the style of George Carlin. As far as I know, Carlin never presented anything about half-empty or full...but he should have. Well done.
  7. @MrBig , here is your debate presented in the style of the great George Carlin as suggested by @Royale with cheese "You ever hear that old philosophical nonsense—Is the glass half full or half empty? Yeah? Well, I got news for you—either way, I’m getting screwed out of half a damn glass! See, my old man had this backwards logic, right? He’d say, “Son, the glass half empty is the good one, because it’s only half empty.” What kind of optimistic depression is that? “Hey, kid, look on the bright side—your drink isn’t completely gone… yet.” Well, thanks, Dad, now I get to savor the slow, agonizing loss of hydration. Meanwhile, you got all these glass-half-full suckers walking around thinking they won something. “Oh, I’m so grateful, my glass is half full!” Well, I got news for you, dummy—it should be 100% full! What kind of scam is this? Who in their right mind is happy about half of something? That’s like getting mugged and celebrating that the guy only took half your wallet. And by the way, let’s talk about the real winners here—the glass-half-empty people. Yeah, because at least they understand loss management. They look at that glass and go, “Phew, I only lost half. I could’ve been totally screwed.” That’s a real survival mindset. Meanwhile, the half-full guys are over here celebrating their 50% disappointment. You ever go to a bar and order a beer, and the bartender hands you a glass that’s only half full? Are you gonna smile and say, “Well, at least it’s half full!” No, you’re gonna say, “Hey asshole, where’s the rest of my beer?” I don’t care how you spin it—half a glass is a ripoff. And the only people winning in this game are the ones who say, “Screw philosophy, just fill the goddamn thing up.”
  8. Reminds me I still have two cases of these is anyone wants to buy.
  9. Yes, he would be prefect for it.
  10. Very funny. This would make a really good stand-up bit in the hands of a good comedian.
  11. While good people work to make the world a little better each day, I have ai write sad country songs about Johntay Cook. The chorus is pretty good. The Legend of Johntay (A Sad Country Ballad) (Verse 1) He was a five-star kid from a two-light town, Ran like the wind, never let ‘em down. Friday night lights, he was the king, Signed that letter, heard the stadium sing. (Verse 2) First fall camp, he was flyin’ high, Coach caught wind of a little white lie. Told him “Son, you best be straight,” But two bad choices sealed his fate. (Chorus) Oh, Johntay, where’d you go? You had the world, now you’re all alone. Dropped the ball, ran the wrong route, Now the whole damn town don’t talk about The legend of Johntay, oh, how he fell, From the fifty-yard line to a county jail. (Verse 3) Packed his bags, tried again, New school, new town, same old sin. Two damn days, same sad song, Coach shook his head, said, “Boy, move on.” (Verse 4) One night, broke and all outta hope, Took what he could from the corner store. Next thing he knew, he was in that cell, Mama cried hard, said, “Boy, this ain’t hell… yet.” (Chorus) Oh, Johntay, where’d you go? You had the world, now you’re all alone. Dropped the ball, ran the wrong route, Now the whole damn town don’t talk about The legend of Johntay, oh, how he fell, From the fifty-yard line to a county jail. (Bridge) Then came the weed, just a little escape, Smoked one hit, lost the rest of his fate. Called his boys, but they wouldn’t come, Guess legends don’t last when the game is done. (Chorus – Slow & Sad) Oh, Johntay, where’d you go? You had the world, now you’re all alone. Dropped the ball, ran the wrong route, Now the whole damn town don’t talk about The legend of Johntay, oh, how he fell, From the fifty-yard line to a county jail. (Outro – Soft and Fading) Now he sits on a front porch step, Watchin’ the world forget he left. Once a name in the lights so bright, Now just a whisper in the Friday night.
  12. I can't believe this didn't occur to me until today. The very best use of ai is showing Aggy winning a national championship since this is something that can't happen in reality.
  13. Wow. No words. I hope you're happy. Also, "...everything else over the years." sure sounds like a clear case of ageism to me.
  14. No _jayythegreat_ updates on Insta or X since he left Washington. This means: He is still incarcerated, which is doubtful, but possible He is out but is choosing not to post, which would be wise right now His agent has told him that he will kill him if he posts anything, which is also wise
  15. Who would buy and wear anything as stupid as a shirt with a slogan celebrating a coach?
  16. My answer is from my personal experience with him over the last three summers and I am pretty sure he is 6'2".
  17. Quinn is around 6'2" or slightly taller.
  18. And thanks again for ratting me out. They've taken away my office and put me in a desk in the hallway while they complete the audit. Plus, I no longer have access to the payroll server. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? In all seriousness, my old ad agency had a little problem. Seems scammers got into the server, found out who the clients were, and what their monthly retainer was. They then contacted the dumbasses at the client who handled the money and told them to wire the monthly fee, which then wired and lost forever. SportsClip sued the agency and they settled out of court. The head of IT at the ad agency decided it was time for him to 'retire.' Un huh.
  19. Okay, I presented this evidence to my attorney and he think we may have a case against @South Austin. Thanks, Beau Vine, for 'finding' it.
  20. Jalen Milroe is the #5 prospect? Okay.
