Just quoting this one as being on topic for the topic, not particularly responding to this, but it's also relevant. My Dad worked his way up from Accountant I to Director of Accounting at Texas Health and Human Services Dept. In the 30 years he worked there the state shifted from Dem run to Rep run. Once the Reps came in, every few years they'd try to bring in a private contractor to, allegedly, make things more efficient. None of them lasted very long because they didn't understand the scope of work and inevitably under bid the project because they didn't realize that most of the inefficiencies were written in the law and, thus, couldn't just be streamlined. Each time they would come to him and say "Why do we have to do it this way?" Every single time the answer was "Because the legislature made this law because some private company found a loophole in the law and corn holed the tax payers out of millions of dollars." Do you know why it takes three forms and three levels of approval to buy a pencil? Because, some outside business found a hole the rules so that they could charge $5 for a $ .20 pencil and bilked the state for millions before it was discovered. They also didn't grasp the size of the budget or the services they would be required to provide, and thus were incredibly understaffed and inefficient because they thought providing hundreds of thousands of people services costing billions of dollars would be easy if they could just get their MBA asses on the job and find all the alleged bloat. Then they found out there wasn't nearly as much bloat as they thought. In fact, considering what they provided, it's a miracle they can do it with what they have.

Madi channeling Scott Sterling had me losing it over here.

Agreed. Shed has too many mental lapses. It's like he's a step slow and it's not physical he just doesn't seem to be an instinctual player and it hinders the pick and roll we run fairly well because he just doesn't seem to grasp the timing.

Offensive movement is noticeably better tonight.

A classic example is the hands to the face call. They couldn't see the holding next to it, but they saw that. Ironically if you look at one of the ones where they called holding on us, in the frame is a Georgia guy with his hand up under, I think, Goolsby's facemask just like that. Somehow they didn't see that one.

Bread and circuses.

Ignorance is bliss.

The SEC is just going to love us.

Maybe Big Trouble in Little China?

It's good to see one thing hasn't changed from last year. Lot's of y'all are still little bitches

The fuck temperature they cook that bread at? My hands hurt just watching him do it.

Voted Thursday with my wife, sister-in-law, and my three daughters. No pics. Youngest was voting for the first time. We made a big deal of it. No wait at all. Got there at just the right time because when we left the line was forming. The womenfolk were fired up to vote.

Just in case this is serious, the poster was only attached at the top so he could slip under it.

Yeah it IS weird! Especially when you consider that 100 years ago they only hit Blue states. Hmmmm.

In my experience there is no more entitled group than old white women. They seem to genuinely believe that they can say and do whatever they want without consequence. My own dear mother is a fine example.

And I'm going to make all the vending machines in the cafeteria free! There will be ice cream at lunch every day! Finally, there will be no more homework! Is this guy running for 7th grade student council president? That's what is "policies" sound like.

I'm not sure you know what "logic" means.

Turret mechanics are NOT happy about that. When I was at Ft. Knox one of our training units was moving M1 tanks across the Dixie Highway (Dixie Dieway as it was called on post) to one of the training areas early in the morning, like 3 am and an 18 wheeler driver was asleep or or not paying attention and ran through the cones where the MPs were stopping traffic and hit one of the tanks broadside at probably 50 mph. Tank moved about 4 inches and the truck was about half as long as when it started. Truck driver was dead before he knew it. No other injuries because the Tank Commander saw it coming and dropped into the turret so he wasn't decapitated by the parts of the truck that flew over the top of the tank. Tank driver was lucky as the truck hit closer to the back end of the tank so he didn't get any of the debris. Highway was closed for about 4 hours if I recall.

Saw The Killer's Game with Dave Bautista last night. Good popcorn movie. If you like the badass-international-hitman genre you'll probably like this one. Good cast, some really funny moments, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Not too long. A good comparison is Bullet Train. It's at like 36% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I enjoyed it and the other twenty folks in the theater were laughing and having a good time.

I'd probably go back to the Drag in 1988 and get a cheeseburger platter at GM Steakhouse. Sad but true.

You've obviously never seen sit down volleyball.

Hell yeah. Was out there several times and he always put on a show. My claim to fame is when Arnold Palmer hit one off the right side of number 9, I think, as I was walking by so I got to be right by him and he flicked his cig right at my feet just before he hit. Full swing prep, he had it in his mouth.

Got her for the titty grab. Definitely a foul.

Yes. Dead for but for the formalities. Nature can be a real bitch sometimes.

Here's some nightmare fuel for you. Yes that's a wasp dragging a dead spider up my office window.
