    You didn’t. You recommended manele to me a few years back and I’ll never forget that day as it was the best golf experience I have ever had. I have not played makai before but it gets a good bit of love. Hopefully the greens are in better shape next week.
  2. “Delivering Medicare for all” is now equivalent to some undefined, abstract notion of “expansion” that is proposed by the trump administration? I can’t even think of a ridiculous cr-styled gif to post that conveys the level of disingenuousness of that nonsense.
  3. No shortage of people whose heads need to explode…but I will give you any line you want on universal Medicare coverage that is delivered by the trump administration being the culprit. Name it.

    thanks guys, booked beach club and dukes for the day we are down south. also, while i generally rely on @pops for advising me on all hawaiian golf outings, went ahead and booked a round at princeville makai on thanksgiving morning. it's right next door to our condo so seemed like a no-brainer.
  5. it's by no means my favorite movie but an entertaining as hell one... but in the updated version of the thomas crown affair with brosnon, the most critical part of the heist of the monet in the first act of the movie is walking out with it in his briefcase that was also the heater to raise the temperature in the impressionism room. the monet did not fit into the transport briefcase and it would have required folding and breaking the stretcher that the canvas was on in order to close the suitcase. the shot of him loading it in the suitcase cuts away right before he goes to close the suitcase and walk out of the room. always irritated the ever loving shit out of me. the whole god damned movie was predicated on this moment. just make the fictitious painting smaller you assholes. scene in question...the moment i am talking about is from 1:55-2:00 below.
  6. or the ability to make any of the dbs respect the probability of connecting on even an uncovered deep route.
  7. LMAO...avery johnson and will howard are both so unbelievably shitty that i just think of them as one big fat useless kansas state qb. lol, good catch.
  8. if we had the quinn that played against okie state and michigan, i would put him at 2 or 3. unfortunately, that quinn seems to have been murdered superman 3 style by dark quinn. you will have a hard time convincing me that there is a single qb on that list other than howard and leonard that would have missed the three deep balls against arkansas so wildly bad as quinn did. dart is inconsistent and does some stupid shit sometimes but he can be deadly with his legs and can be deadly accurate when he's hot. rourke is playing extremely consistently and has a wonderful stat line. but, as i said, that may all be bullshit. we get to find out this weekend. tennessee kid is also inconsistent but has been very good at times. i might revise allar...he's nothing special but he tends not to make the big mistakes. he's one of the more reliable and consistent players on the list along with rourke. but he's nothing special. to be clear, this might be the worst year of college football qbs i can remember. no one is consistently great. if i were an nfl team drafting, ward is the only one i would even consider and even then, meh. quinn really blew an amazing opportunity to leverage a terrible qb class into a really high pick. but watching him try to throw deep balls was outright cringey and him peeing down his leg every single time the defense shows any designed pressure is not going to endear him to any organizations.
  9. as college qbs, i would rank them as such (in terms of i wouldn't want to see them on the other side of the ball regardless of rest of team): 1) oregon (gabriel) 2) miami (ward) 3) bama (milroe) 4) miss (dart) 5) indiana (rourke) [though i reserve the right to revise. he's having a lovely statistical year but horrific competition] 6) tenn (iamaleava) 7) penn st. (allar) 😎 texas (ewers) 9) georgia (beck) 10) notre (leonard) 11) ohio state (howard) 12) boise (madsen) edited for dipshittery, thanks gurt.
  10. republicans paying hush money for sexual encounters? a shocking revelation? things that make you think. hmm.
  11. This is the talk of an insane person.
  12. more than a month later and i cannot believe that bolden in the arkansas game did not actually put me in my grave. i am pretty sure i had a ministroke though as i had blurry vision for five minutes after his brilliant decision to go ahead and snag the ball at the goal line while running into the end zone. is banks coaching this shit from the vip lounge of the spearmint rhino after a line?

    taking the kiddos finally this year over the break next week. first time back since my wife and i went in 2006 when we were dating. we had the most incredible week there previously. hoping the 12 and 10 year old can keep up with the hikes. we are airbnb'ing so we will get grocery food for a good amount but also want to hit some restaurants. when we went in 2006, dining certainly wasn't a point of emphasis (nor should it be) but just wondering if anything has changed over the last 20 years and whether any of you recent visitors have had any good experiences you'd recommend. staying in princeville but the whole island is on the table obviously.
  14. protip: if a video on youtube, twitter, etc... has any use of the words "DESTROYS" or "DEMOLISHES" or "WRECKS" or "DEVASTATES" or "DISMANTLES" or "ANNIHILATES" in the title (particularly if it is all caps), it can more than likely be summarily ignored.
  15. It didn’t work. He still fucking sucks.
  16. Can someone please send Quinn some nudes at half to see if it will make him not be the worst qb in the history of college football please?
  17. DO SOMETHING, CHUCKIE!!! while i agree with your sentiment about unplugging from social media, i pretty much categorically disagree with everything else you said. an educated and informed citizenry is the only way to keep any check whatsoever on outright corruption that leads to truly unpleasant consequences such as runaway levels of totalitarianism and fascism. continuing to add to the already insurmountable ledger of uninformed idiots doesn't help. that said, anyone who finds themselves having material levels of anxiety or their mental/emotional well being threatened by the non-stop onslaught of frustrating and discouraging news and/or speculation should absolutely do themselves the favor of "unplugging" and detaching themselves from the source of that. no question. sounds like you are finding a happier place after being so invested in the disappointing results by avoidance. a lot of people are in your shoes. the recency of everything and the fact that every decision dipshit has made thus far betrays his worst instincts makes it an ideal time to become apathetic in the near term. hopefully a balance will reveal itself while remaining informed. stay happy, chuckle. BUT DO SOMETHING!!!! (eta: and yes, we owe the pigs a borderline erotic beatdown)
  18. shit, i thought it was german. oh well, back to the drawing board.
  19. all of this is moot. if they don't back channel negotiate a confirmation, the recess appointment would last through the congress and then he can just run again for the next term in two years.
  20. that may all be good and well but where your theory fails is that i have imported a bunch of black and caspian sea sturgeon in order to farm my own hybrid and royal ossetra and they don't seem to be enjoying central texas drought weather... similarly, all the pinot and chard vines i imported from Épernay and montagne de reims all died in my back yard this summer. you of all people should know what this means. consider my face eaten.
