  1. Haha fuck you Huepel you fat ugly fuck.
  2. Jesus fuck. Just end replay if you refuse to change the call on the field when it should be overturned. Fucking waste of time.
  3. Este. Nearing 50 years of Astros fandom for me, too.
  4. Yeah because lefties can't throw him a 2-strike slider or sweeper that's 6" to a foot off the plate, knowing he'll chase it every.single.time. FML.
  5. Oh, that's today? I forgot it was even happening. The AVP is in Austin, and for the first time since about 1991, I have zero desire to attend. Well done, AVP!! Bravo!
  6. New raw footage of Comer just before shooting the geese ...
  7. I disassociated myself from most of my Florida & Tennessee white trash family decades ago. I have little doubt the vast majority that are still kicking are fervent Trumpers. Fuck those motherfuckers.
  8. Yep, and they aren't pitching and rolling all over the place.
  9. Holy shit. Republican former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan absolutely eviscerated Trump tonight on Kaitlan Collins's show. I can't find the video anywhere, but check it out if you're able.
  10. Which part is the bolded part? Oh, the x,x,x,x ? LOL. Hey, I'm 59 and married, with a paid-off house and 2 boys in college. If I were gonna risk my marriage on someone, it wouldn't be anyone in that photo. That's for got damn sure! OK, with a gun to my head, the girl on the second row behind 'Ears McGee' looks aight.
  11. Tonight I learned from Anderson Cooper that FEMA had to set up a special rumor control webpage just to debunk all the lies being told about Hurricane Helene relief efforts. https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response
  12. Gracias senor! Yeah, Station 3. I worked there a few times in my career, filling in for minimum staffing needs.
  13. Somebody's gotta do some thinking around here. Ain't nobody else gon' do it.
  14. BTW, the IAFF non-endorsement was determined by a 1.2% margin in a vote of the IAFF Executive Board (again, not the membership). 1.2% works out to something like 40 to 39. FML. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/03/election-fire-union-trump-harris
  15. Yep. Mrs. Wood (no [pics) and I retired for far less, combined, and we're doing great. Give me a couple million, and we'll live like royalty. Knock on wood. (I can just knock on my head when I say that, so I got that goin' for me, which is nice)
  16. I agree with much of what you're saying, but firefighters don't choose who to endorse. We don;t even get to choose our leadership on the national level. This is what infuriates me so much about their decision to not endorse - it makes US (the membership) look bad, and we didn't even have a say in it.
  17. I was a 28 year career firefighter and my experience has been quite different. Yes, there are plenty who vote Republican and some who are hard core conservative assholes. But you get that in any line of work and there are loads of Democrats as well, and Green Party, and you name it. Even the conservatives, with rare exceptions, proudly pay their dues and back the union. Overwhelmingly in my experience, firefighters here and even moreso elsewhere are extremely pro-union, resulting in almost everyone, like me, continuing to pay union dues well past retirement age, to help the union do what unions do. There are 300,000+ firefighters in the IAFF, and politically, they look pretty much like the general population. I've met plenty of firefighters who are asshole conservatives. That doesn't mean most firefighters are assholes or Republicans. And I've met many who are way to the left. That doesn't make 'em Commies. The vast majority are in the middle, just as I believe is the case for the general popultaion. And, again, the firefighters don't decide who the union endorses or does not endorse. The national leadership does. x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x
