  1. That's awesome. I bet it's cool for her to see that & also cool for Mom & Dad to have her see it. Our kids hear us talk about the glory days, but I think it's hard for them to really imagine that we were actually pretty athletic and skilled back in the day. Mrs. Wood (no pics) & I were nowhere near the Fuerbys' level, but both our boys play & we were talking the other day about how cool it would be for them to be able to see video of us playing before age broke us down. But we weren't all walking around with hand-sized video cameras all day every day 22 years ago.
  2. Wait list? Like, for a specific section or tier of seating/hospitality?
  3. I've only known one, and he acted almost exactly like that. We worked at the same delivery service, and everyone called him "Little Man", which is the one aspect of being short that he actually didn't seem to mind that much. Came in to work one day complaining about the accident he'd just had. But it wasn't his fault. You see, the sun was in his eyes as he ran the yield sign under IH35 exiting the turnaround from the northbound to southbound feeder at 290. Accident happened at noon, but yeah, ok.
  4. Dude, I didn't catch mine at CB, but if yours is anything like the Flu B that I just got over ... well, I wish you luck. Fucking brutal.

    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, you BMF!
  6. Rumors that Honda is going with solid state batteries.
  7. Cool. Thanks, y'all.
  8. Austin to Granby & Winter Park, via Amarillo.
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. *Staff, but yeah, that was my first thought as well.
  12. LOL yeah I thought about that a couple of days ago. We're probably thinking of the same kind of 'cop'.
  13. I'ma go with 'Restroom attendant at Chicas Bonitas', you know, where Mama Pavia works.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 84, for yesterday ... 83 today ...
  18. 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.
  19. That's fucking awesome.
  20. This is the way. Throw in some zone read for the ...
