    The Real DBU

    Saw this one in person. Seems like yesterday, but it's the only play I remember from that great game. Happy Birthday, Jerry Gray!
  2. Rumors that Honda is going with solid state batteries.
  3. Cool. Thanks, y'all.
  4. Austin to Granby & Winter Park, via Amarillo.
  5. A little help here. We're driving up to CO this weekend. What's bad about it? Should I take the eastern route that's a little longer?
  6. It's all pencils these days. Didn't you hear? Teach your kid some pencil-usage discipline and your budget will be balanced in a jiffy! It should only take a couple of beatings if you do it right.
  7. *Staff, but yeah, that was my first thought as well.
  8. LOL yeah I thought about that a couple of days ago. We're probably thinking of the same kind of 'cop'.
  9. I'ma go with 'Restroom attendant at Chicas Bonitas', you know, where Mama Pavia works.
  10. Which one? He got absolutely fucking obliterated numerous times in that game. I started feeling bad for him. He took a Klingler-esque beating. Probably much worse than that, actually.
  11. All true ... but the promising sign I get here is the simple fact that she and others are starting to get the feeling that 'what the room wants to hear' is changing.
  12. My tariff anecdote for the day: The other day I had me annual eye exam and I went to Costco for some new glasses. I've noticed they tend to keep the same stock for a long time, and I've always been able to get new frames just like my old ones if I really liked them. Not this time. The manager of that department explained to me that Trump is a fucking idiot, without saying he's a fucking idiot, and that (long story short) his tariffs are forcing Costco to change the way they buy almost everthing to keep prices as low as possible (thus the lawsuit). In the case of the frames, it means they now have to buy smaller lots with shorter term deals, so the selection will be constantly changing now. I didn't make it political, and neither did the manager, but it was amusing to watch him struggle, clearly taking every fiber of his being to keep it strictly factual, without launching into a 'Trump is a fucking idiot' tirade.
  13. 84, for yesterday ... 83 today ...
  14. Yep, and he just never misses a chance to show the world what a giant steaming piece of shit he truly is. Indeed he jumps at every chance with the glee of a toddler receiving a new puppy as a gift.
  15. That's fucking awesome.
  16. This is the way. Throw in some zone read for the ...
  17. Yep. A last-ditch effort to keep his 'possible late-round NFL draft pick' from setting fire to any draft chances he might have had. Probably too late though.
  18. Yep, but according to some people the sound doesn't matter & we're stupid to place any value on it at all ... 🙄 I remember walking across the bridge over the St. Lawrence to Gilles Villeneuve in 2010 for my first GP weekend. It was the start of FP3 when I heard the V8s in person for my first time. Even from the far side of the bridge, I could follow the sound of individual cars from one end of the track to the other with ease, and those were just the V8s. I went straight to the hairpin. It was the first place I experienced them up close. The off-throttle sounds as they braked and downshifted, and then the screaming out the other side were just otherworldly to me. I was hooked instantly. It still tingles my spine thinking about it.
  19. Only time a #85 ran in F1 Only time a #85 ran at Indy
  20. LOL yeah, I saw that in an article earlier. If he's 6'0", then I'm 6'6". (I'm 6'0")
