Not even Bucees could clean those bathrooms...
The Penn Station one is disgusting. Grand Central stays pretty clean though.

Matt Bonner says hello, you overrated dingleberry.
Also, Dirk sends his regards you playoff neophyte. I’m sorry, I’m being told he has won exactly one playoff game in his career. I wish Jimmy would’ve kicked this clowns ass in public.
It’s probably best to make these kinds of proclamations when you’re the leader of one of the elite teams in the Western Conference. I would think the greatest big man shooter of all-time would have at least a playoff series win or two under his belt by now.

Got dusty all of a sudden
Seeing that video is first of all a beautiful experience seeing how much emotion she showed. It also reminds me just how amazing inner child therapy is. I’ve done it and recommend it. John Bradshaw (Pretty famous for his work with inner child therapy and a Texan to boot with a ridiculously awesome life story as I’m sure many of y’all are familiar with) would’ve loved seeing this clip if he were still here.

There are some constants in life…death, taxes, and Ted Cruz being a miserable, fucking piece of shit.
I take him for exactly what he is. He is an incredibly insecure person who also happens to exhibit traits of someone that is deeply depressed. It does not excuse the horrific things he says and does though. He lashes out just about exactly how you would expect someone like him would do. It would not shock me in the least if/when he winds up in a facility for major depression when he finally gets voted out of office.

Merry Christmas to everyone. This place has taught me a lot I appreciate y'all
Merry Christmas to you as well! I feel the same way and that there are so many intelligent folks here that we can all learn from. I enjoy almost all that I read because I can either learn new information I did not know or I can learn more about how we as humans communicate with each other.
If you ever feel like you know more about everything than anyone else this place can clear that up pretty quickly and remind you that you will never stop learning new things…lol.

Took my mom to see it tonight on an IMAX screen. This was a cool movie and she had a great time and that was what mattered most. Keanu Reeves is just so good at his craft and the movie never had any awkward moments. I would watch it again for sure.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Enjoy time with the family you like as well as the ones you don’t because a little kindness can go a long way!

Literally thought that was just average members of their student body when it came up in a google image search. Says a lot about aggy. Each and every one of them is probably more honest, loyal, and hard working than the average member of their football program from their AD all the way down to the players.
Well thanks for being honest my man. I would absolutely take everyone in that picture as people that would be fun to hangout with and work with as well.

@Johnny Sack: Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
These are the things where it is just incredulous to me that people who were born with every advantage in life just cannot comprehend what it is like to not have them. The disdain Sack has for the less fortunate is something I find to be disgusting.

Well where’s the 12th man at in all of this? These folks wait their entire lives for just such an opportunity.

Why does every thread here turn into BUT TRUMP?
I don’t need to mention him anymore, but you know how this works. The only reason his name should come up anymore is in regards to the 1/6 commission since he’s obviously a central figure there. The cycle of never-ending arguing though depends on talking about the last one. It’d be great if we could attempt to get along better.

He must be like that marcostanco guy whose oil field clothing business lost money for 20 years or so until trump became president then he turned around and hired an extra 100 workers because of trump and his booming economy.
Never forget that he paid them higher than minimum wage AND they worked all the overtime they could get. They did this because, you know, you have to when your hourly pay is embarrassingly low.

This year has been filled with blessings, but it has had more than its fair share of challenges. When things have not gone the way I hoped they would I just remembered that things happen and you just do the best you can. If that is good enough, cool. If your best is not up to the situation then that is likely not the path you should be going down.
We have people here who are struggling mightily with things. I read it and I think about y’all and I hope for the best for each of you that are willing to share your thoughts and feelings. I do not judge anyone and think it’s cool how open people are here. I wish the rest of this board operated and could come together like this thread does!

Summer league games at Lincoln.
Nice. I used to see some of the North Dallas schools. I used to watch Hillcrest some because their head coach was an amazingly nice guy who played football and basketball at Grambling. You could see how much of an effect Eddie Robinson had on his life.

I spent a lot of time in all of these areas as a high school basketball player and I’ll be damned but I still can’t define the areas. The Salvation Army gym in Pleasant Grove, Beckley-Saner, Kimball, Lincoln, etc. Everything south of downtown along I-35 was Oak Cliff to me, if I headed east on 635 and passed Mesquite that was Pleasant Grove, and if I had a game at Lincoln that was referred to as around Fair Park. I am a white.
Haha it’s fun at times to figure out the boundaries and different names for neighborhoods in South Dallas. If you played Lincoln in basketball it was at Cobb which is in Fair Park. They don’t play many games at the actual high school. @Brothahorn should insert himself into this conversation. He could add some history to the topic since I think he mentioned he played at Cobb a long time ago.
I had a bunch of friends I went to college with who were from South Dallas and I hung out there many times with the Flentroy family. I think Red is still coaching at Madison. Extremely nice family, but man they drink alcohol like it’s water! I could never keep up with them when I used to drink. A lot of y’all would have a blast hanging out with them.

This happens a lot for Oak Cliff and Pleasant Grove. Those areas used to have specific boundaries back in the day. Now days, any thing southwest of Downtown is referred to as Oak Cliff and anything southeast of downtown is referred to as the Grove. Which is not true for either case.
Oh absolutely. The Grove is not as big an area as it is portrayed. I used to have a friend who was the basketball coach at Samuell. It was a struggle the longer he stayed there. Thankfully he got to a much better situation. I think this year might be his last in coaching with his youngest playing ball in college now as well as his first grandchild being born.

He's a bipartisan "Maverick".
Well he’s something. He is not representing his constituents well at the moment though. They need all the monetary help they can get in that state. I don’t hate the man, but he’s not doing things that help the people who need it most.

Christ on a cracker Manchin has a lot of contempt for his fellow West Virginians.

I’ve lived in Dallas most of my life and I’ve never understood the South Dallas thing. Lincoln and Madison are east of downtown, while the other schools mentioned are all south of downtown.
Different neighborhoods is all. If you don’t look at them exactly how a map should say they are supposed to be labeled it makes it easier to understand.

And Souf Dallas DISD schools get the shittier end of the monetary stick than the Nawf Dallas schools.
And the Nawf Dallas schools are even less competitive at everything, except maybe baseball, than Souf. Partly because they're decimated by private schools.
Lincoln, I think, was the most competitive DISD football school in the last couple of decades. It's over by Fair Park and pretty desperate, economically.
Madison was competitive in 3A for seven year stretch before the talent ran dry. Lincoln football is DOA now.
I also keep seeing South Dallas applied to a lot of schools. There are only two high schools in what anyone who lives there would call South Dallas. That is Madison and Lincoln. The easiest way to get looked at sideways in Oak Cliff is to tell someone who went to SOC, Kimball or Carter that they are a South Dallas school. I could apply that to Velt and Pinkston as well, but Pinkston’s neighborhood has generally been referred to as the West Dallas projects even though that is changing.

This thread never gets old. It does not matter what kind of day you’re having because this thread will make the day enjoyable. So many cute pups that y’all are blessed to have as companions!

What, no Joe Manchin thread?

I won’t cherry pick this post, but reading it in its entirety is vexing to be honest. You encourage people to help the poor, but have disdain for helping people who make poor choices in life and then you have even more ire for people that you say enable them.
I do see that you have some fundamental misunderstandings about how the human mind works and how people wind up in the situations that they do. Sometimes, and I said this just the other day on here, that if you think you know everything about everything come to this board to realize you do not.
And yes there are VALID reasons for why people are poor in America. Not everyone had access to a quality education or even a passable one. When you get the short end of the stick educationally from the beginning of your journey with education there are consequences for it out of the control of the young boy or girl receiving said education. That can apply equally to children The Bronx or poor kids growing up in Appalachia. An unsatisfactory education in West Virginia is why they have people who are dirt poor with no lifeline to get out of life destroying poverty.
Again I have a hard time reconciling helping the poor, but then wanting how they are helped to be completely on your terms. Somehow I think that does not mesh real well with the teachings of Jesus.
