  1. This game was entertaining as hell. Congrats Sbbruin. LSU came out to intimidate and punched you guys in the mouth. Past UCLA teams would have folded, but your guys punched those fuckers right back. Repeatedly. Looking forward to watch them again this season.
  2. Great game. Card looked sharp. Most impressed with the 3rd down conversions. Haven't seen that level of efficiency in awhile.
  3. Here's my ballot: I think it's very unlikely he gets recalled, so the second choice seemed meaningless. I glanced at the long list of dumbasses, started to put it in the envelope, but then remembered: McDonald's had an Olympics promotion in 76, randomnly handing out cards that would have different sports on them. If an American won a gold in say, fencing, you'd get a free small fry. Something bigger like boxing, maybe a cheeseburger. The big daddy of them all was the decathlon with a free FUCKING BIG MAC. A very young Mach 1 had that very card from a recently purchased Happy Meal, and watched Jenner run the 1500 meter? to win the gold, jumping up and down like a maniac the whole time. So in the spirit of the dumbest political environment in my lifetime, here's to you Caitlyn Jenner, you decathlon winning dumbass publicity whore, a vote in exchange for my Big Mac.
  4. I don't give a shit how much "pent up stress" these fucksticks have. Zero tolerance for acting like a shithead at 30,000 feet in a metal tube with a hundred other human beings. Duct tape and some federal charges will quickly make them forget about their "pent up stress." Go run up and down some steps at the airport before getting on flight, or go beat off in the bathroom, whatever floats your boat. But DO NOT take out your "pent up stress" on your flight crew or fellow travelers. Fuckers.
  5. Thanks for heads up, lot of fun stuff to watch. I caught Cherry Pit Spitting a couple of years ago, and learned that they practice in the 'offseason' by spitting fishing weights.

    Damn, look at Ol' Freak Nasty.
  7. Good bye factory 3.0 open diff. Hello 3.7 limited slip. (Oil spots not mine)
  8. Put that shit straight into my veins. Watching her high school lose their shit when she won ... yeah, that's why I watch the Olympics. (And fuck that guy who said Olympics were boring.)
  9. Crazy to see that deck basically punch through the columns and collapse. After the Northridge earthquake in LA, they found many structural failures were due to decks punching through basic columns like that, so they required all columns beefed up with caps to hopefully give enough strength to prevent that in the future. (These probably wouldn't have even helped Surfside, with the years of deterioration and lack of maintenance.)
  10. We did Bull Valley first, technically not in Escalante but right outside. Then Brimstone Slot. We were shut out of Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Slot - supposedly the best ones in all of Utah - because we got a little disoriented getting down to the river bed, and then thuderstorms hit. Shame they looked really cool, give them a Google. Yeah the Wave sounded like too much of a hassle. Zebra is supposed to be cool but we didn't want to hike that far.
  11. Negative Ghost Rider. I'm 190 lbs of twisted steel. That Oreo will be burned off with two seconds of karate moves in my home dojo. I'm a kick ass guy IRL, just ask my super cool friends.
  12. Nabisco can kiss my ass. Saw some Double Stuffed Oreos in the cabinet - yes please. I had to do a double take on the packaging after taking a bite, could have sworn it was just a regular Oreo. Nope those cheap fuckers have whittled down the white cream over the years so what used to be a double is now really a single from 20 years ago. I wanted the real thing so took apart two and mashed them together. Left my double stuffed, right the bullshit marketing double stuff.
  13. Recently back from Bryce and Escalante. Did something different this year and rented E bikes and skipped the shuttles. So much nicer to cruise around outside with limited peddling. Never got tired and could hike any trail we wanted. If we did could always put it on the rack of the shuttle and hop on. (You Zion folks might want to look into this and skip the shitshow that is the base shuttle stop.) No bikes in Escalante, too spread out. And you'll need high clearance SUV for all the BLM roads. Lots of cool slot canyons. We got shut out of a few due to thunderstorms; have no interest in drowning. That's a truck from the 1950s stuck up top. Poor bastards.

    I said excuuuuuusse me. Always tought that was probably a true story of some kind. He was an alcoholic and violent, but probably knew when to run when facing down a barrel.

    MIx in this (tailor it to what you can do at first, then work your way up) with some walking/hiking and some low impact treadmill work. Cutting way back on carbs and calories for a few months and you'll see progress. Meant to post in the body transformation thread but never got around to it. Did this for most of the lockdown and lost 20 lbs, but I figure I probably gained 5-10 lbs of muscle, so it was, indeed, transforming. (I still drank during that time, but tried to keep it within reason).

    QFT Ironworks used to have an all-you-can-eat beef rib special during random weekday lunches. It was surreal to wake up at night after barely making it home and passing out. Re: Panchos, their sopapillas still hold a warm, honey filled space in my 10 year old heart.
  17. Went to Disneyland and CA Adventure last week, stayed at Grand Californian. Some notes for those going soon: (But first an observation: holy shit, the number of morbidly obese people in this country, including children. I weep for our future.) No early entrance for on site hotel guests. Everyone in at the same time, though we did notice they tended to open the gates early, say 8:30, 8:45. Everyone goes straight to Indiana Jones open entering; don't be that person. Bounce around and go to Pirates of Caribbean, circle back to Jones toward the end of the day (it breaks down all the time, keep an eye on it and you might get in quick upon a reopening). Longest wait was for Cars at CA Adventure, 45 minutes. Everything else averaged about 20 and moved pretty quick. The virtual queue - don't fuck around with it. You've got 2 or 3 seconds max to get a spot or you're toast. On the app hit 'virtual queues' and you'll be on the "Join Boarding Group" page - STAY ON THAT. Do not go to the next page where the actual queues are shown, they do not refresh automatically when the clock strikes 7 or 12. When the clock on you phone hits 7 IMMEDIATELY hit Join Boarding Group. Next page is "Join Queue" I think, and it shows either Star Wars or Web Slingers, then another page with "Confirm Guests" (it reads the tickets that are attached to your Disney account). Sit in a comfortable place, block out any distractions (especially avoid eye contact with your kids, as they will appear to be ready to cry or scream with joy depending on how slow or fast you are). There may be a website that helps you with finger poking speed and agility; if so, do that. Again, once it hits 7 or 12, MOVE. Like a 14 year old fap, it's over in nanoseconds. The crowd around you will either scream and clap like insane people, or scream FUCK! You think I'm joking? Just wait. Rise of the Resistance is probably the best ride/experience I've ever been on. Good on you Imagineering. Avengers Web Slingers, however, is lame as shit. I award you no points. If you can get a slot on the virtual queue go for it, but honestly it was not even close to being worth waiting until 6;30 at night (our time slot) and then another 45 once you actually get in line. All the sit down restaurants were booked so all we had was quick serve, which was fine. You do have to order your food an hour or two in advance in the popular areas like Avengers or Star Wars. Beer and drinks have to be preordered too, but I found that if I had an order to be ready at say, 2, and showed up at 1:30, they just poured it and sent me on my way. Over my life I've been to Disney about half a dozen times, and I never knew you could actually go into Snow White's castle. Well, you can. It's pedestrian, but a first for me.
  18. Make sure the two pieces of metal are tightly together. This tool helped. https://www.amazon.com/Fastener-Temporary-Welders-Repair-K6S10-3/dp/B086VTKCKM
  19. Safari 12.1.2. Restarting the desktop seems to have fixed it
  20. I still can't react to a post beyond the first three emojis. Once I move beyond that with the mouse the list collapses and I'm left with hook em and the other two I rarely use. I'm someone who likes to express himself with flair, so this limitation vexes me. In other words I PAY FOR THIS SHIT AND I DEMAND SATISFACTION. J/K there are some post from assholes not affiliated with UT and I'd like to use other emojis.
  21. Teenage daughter a little down in the dumps, so I offered to take her somewhere fun. FML she chose Disneyland. Did I despair? No I did not, I called a family friend who happens to be a Club 33 member and voila, we are going next week for two days. I had visions of sitting at the Star Wars bar while she got her ride on, but nope, everything sit down is booked. Not sure if I can get into the Club 33 lounge yet. Been a long time since I took them as young uns, so I'll have to read throught the thread and do some strategery.
