  1. Reading stuff like this makes me feel good about the decision I made to go live in Hawaii starting in January.
  2. Angel Reese just needs microphones not placed anywhere near her for a couple of years. Team imposed time away from social media would be beneficial to both the league and herself. You committed a flagrant. Own it and just move on. The person you hit took it in stride. Let the ridiculous jealousy of another player, a player far superior to you in every facet of the game, go.
  3. I haven’t negged anyone really outside of GRU and his new handles, but Chrispy is the other one I will hand them out to. He tries to spread propaganda and lies here and gives the same tired awe shucks routine. He knows exactly what he did and should be negged right off this board permanently.
  4. Get the cruise ships to paradise fillled up with a quick side trip to the old Roman lake.
  5. All the better. They can toss them into the English Channel for all I care.
  6. Would they like several million immigrants from America? Take several million of our lunatic whites and do with them as they please.
  7. I agree. A quick reading of his life shows no real higher education outside of the Pratt Institute, which closed down. He was pursuing engineering there apparently. He just has a very limited knowledge of the world around him and how things work. He and Kyrie Irving definitely share that in common.
  8. I went to SAGU. I believe they are changing the name of the school now to Nelson University in honor of the founder from 1927, PC Nelson. I met some really nice folks there and I met some folks that I would never, ever want to associate with under any circumstances. I did not keep in contact with most of the friends from there. The one who died from sickle cell, Dedrick, probably had the biggest positive impact upon my life of anyone I crossed paths with at that school. I say all that to say that what I saw of them was intolerance towards homosexuality and there was a whole lot of racism right under the surface there. I doubt much has changed on that front. I will never understand folks who espouse the name of Jesus and then do the exact opposite of what he would have done. I go to a Brazilian Baptist church now (Zero association with the SBC thank God) and before that was at a church in The Bronx that had a woman as its pastor. She was pretty awesome and very accepting of anyone and everyone who wasn’t hateful.
  9. I remember seeing Leslie a few times. Seemed pretty harmless. Spoolman seems like he really wanted and needed the attention. The mind is a fragile thing and sometimes when I see folks who have lost control of their mental faculties I wonder what it was that sent them over the edge. Who were they before the person we saw doing things similar to Spoolman? I feel sadness for these folks because it could easily be you or I in that situation. We get one life and some folks have theirs destroyed by mental illness and a complete break from reality.
  10. I see people several times a day on the subway or just wandering random streets here whose minds are completely gone due to lack of mental health care, drug abuse or a combination of factors. Terrence Howard is a Rhodes Scholar in comparison.
  11. Honest to God I cannot believe that that can get you the Bronze Star. My father received that decoration during Vietnam. He never said why. This clown gets it for setting up a Kinkos. Just unreal.
  12. That sounds like a dare. He’ll gladly take you up on it.
  13. We were sold a bill of goods growing up about what it meant to be a Texan and something along the lines of “Texas Exceptionalism.” It was a myth then and it is now. Kinda sucks to look back on my childhood and realize that this is what Texas really was just beneath that veneer. My hometown is an absolute atrocity now of this brand of ridiculous nonsense and abject stupidity.
  14. I was there about three years ago and had no issue leaving my stuff out on the North Shore. I got about seven months left here before moving to Honolulu. Definitely want to spend much more time up there.
  15. I kinda skimmed this thread and am left attempting to better understand him and what he deals with on a daily basis. I feel like even though this website provides a valuable place within his life’s construct, I think that the negatives of this site outweigh whatever positives he takes from here.
  16. That definitely qualifies as the 3rd one. Even in retirement he still went out and scouted opponents for his son.
  17. Man this one sucks. I am glad his wife was with him as he went onto the great beyond, but him and Walton in such a short time is a tremendous loss for the game of basketball. One of the things that stuck with me about him was that despite everything he accomplished as a player and executive he never could get past all those losses to THOSE GUYS in the Finals. The man was just driven to always win and when he failed time and again against the only nemesis he could not conquer as a player he never let go of it. Now you can rest Mr. West. Go hangout with Wilt and Elgin. Thank you for all you did for the game of basketball, especially us Laker fans that you gave so many great moments with the decisions you made.
  18. From what I remember the building was not that big at the time, but this is years ago and my memory of it could be wrong. Looking at their website it’s a pretty big building, but I am not sure how old this sanctuary is that I am looking at.
  19. I remember seeing one of these churches near Waxahachie on I-35 years ago. Never really put too much effort into understanding what they were about as I went to church in Oak Cliff at a small non-denominational church off the east end of Illinois Avenue in a quiet neighborhood.
  20. Yes he was. Best part of the movie was him wrecking shop.
  21. That is being tailored by Icono as we speak.
  22. My first thought is this uniform color has to be in homage to the Swedish heritage of the state. They look like something that was in the Beck video “Colors” from a few years back.
