  1. Look up Buck Compton, be up in La. Child actor with Mickey Rooney, played football and baseball at UCLA with Jackie Robinson, Sgt with Easy Company, after the war LA PD, then in the prosecutors office, he led the Sirhan Sirhan protection, and finally a judge on the California Appellate Court. His biography was a captivating read.
  2. Is that Bert as the Aggie HFC - seeing this, I can't believe he wasn't on the list
  3. + rep for 12 Monkey gif/meme for now dude, for now
  4. 2 things - a) did Rory send a message, or peak a week too early (shot his wad at Quail Hollow)? b) Congrats to new dad Scottie - hoping he can make a run at the PGA and add true excitement into this season. x) would love to see Jordan somehow put together a week, compete and get some excitement into the PGA Championship about his career slam
  5. Whew, dodged a bullet. Everyone should do their safe check in shit just so we know we didn't lose anyone to this traumatic event
  6. The real question is Meredith going to hold out until after the PGA to drop that kiddo on the world, or is Scottie going to skip the Louisville major? All that drama in Augusta, and now a month later Scottie Jr. still waiting to hatch
  7. hey look what I can do with a little cut & paste I am thinking this should be the new Surly logo, at least for the OT season
  8. whatever
  9. My brother in-law, retired cop, says if you are going to prep you need to build up from the 3-Bs: Beans (meaning dry foods - beans, rice, pasta, wheat, and malt/barley to make your beer) Beverages (90% water, then your favored alcohol) Bullets (along with a reloader & supplies) here is an interesting site he sent me a few years ago - interesting source
  10. The R votes on this really tell the story of true MAGA support - R's voted 196-11 to table, or they have 11 votes in their own caucus to support removal of Johnson. I know this is just hopeful thinking, but I'd like to see this threat just go away and allow the house to actually get some legislative work done. Greene could well get reelected, but maybe even in her own district voters will start to realize how ineffective she is - but maybe they like having a loud mouth schnook; and to quote Foghorn Leghorn - she is about as smart as a bowling ball.
  11. Scared money don't make money. The best time to invest in BRK was yesterday, it will still be true tomorrow, as it was last week, last year, etc. Make it easy on yourself, $ cost average in over 6-12 months put 10-20% of the amount you want to invest every month, that way you avoid peaks and valleys relative to putting it in in one or two big chunks. Past performance is no guarantee of future results; beware the Wally/Reverse Wally curse
  12. I am starting to think that BRK.A/B has the same idea about buying shares when Warren does die. I mean that $190 billion in cash would certainly be available to support buying into the distresssed mark & last I read Warrens' stake in worth under $140 billion. Damn it they are going to front run me on this last of his lifetime event.
  13. Wrong meme - should be the hard landing, because the Fed missed the airport to bring it in softly & now they are flying around and will slam it right into a slamming us all right into a recession. WIll the Fed ever figure out that driving, while looking in the rearview mirror means you should ease up sooner than you think. Dumbest thing ever was to keep stimulating as long as they did. Oh well, we need some sort of a reset anyway.
  14. Major props for the slide rule; I wish I could find one like they had in the school when they taught how to use them. It was about 6 foot long and at least 2 foot wide, that would be a cool garage/techcave addition.
  15. LOL - great headline reading there. The actual answer is somewhere in those articles that you scanned Buffett told shareholders at Berkshire's annual meeting that his view on Apple's business hadn't changed and that the tech giant will likely remain the conglomerate's largest stock holding at the end of 2024. crowdsourced from Investopedia fwiw they did sell their entire position in Paramount full dislosure: I am sitting on my entire cash hoard (somewhat less than $90 billion) and waiting to buy on the dip when Old Uncle Warren kicks it, but that may be almost 10 years if his goal is to live longer than Charlie
  16. Hi Patrick, Do you enjoy being the golf villain?
  17. Mobile home park with lots of damage, and a FedEx facility damage that reportedly trapped about 50 workers inside for over an hour https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2024/05/trapped-workers-at-fedex-building-escape-after-reported-tornado.html
  18. It makes me nervous to see Nicole posting in this thread; wondering if maybe she has something to do with the person passing away. (and just to be clear about the death pool rules - no points are awarded for a death, if you are involved the event. just sayin')
  19. This hits close to home, well close to my first apartment in Houston over 40 years ago. That apartment is long gone & has been replaced by an IKEA, but still - damn, an argument over an order at McDonald's, I guess no onions means no onions
  20. If I recall right, he went to pursue fitness, like super for t and it hurt his swing. He had already been super successful, and Tiger was already becoming dominant, so why fight to get your A-game back to only be second best.
  21. Don't ask me why I found this - but here is Boobsert with Mrs Gaetz Interesting pose - completely empty room and they are doing the standing snuggle
  22. Anyone else thinking that ol' Three Toes has figured out she gets a lot of attention by threatening to make the motion to vacate; and she knows that it is not likely to pass. So why not just keep making threats, but then back away for some made up reason, only to rinse wash repeat the next week.
  23. Jordan doing Jordan things (remember when that meant he made a 60+ footer, or chipped in a couple of times) well today it means he is +1 so for and will need to go -3 or 4 for the rest of the round to make the cut. this is where his fan club is these days; watching and hoping he makes the cut Go Jordan Go, birdie man birdie
  24. We still have 1 tube tv in our basement, I think it was purchased in the late 1990's. And yes there is a VCR player connected to it, though I am not sure the VCR works. There is also an answering machine connected to a "base" cellular phone that replaced our actual landline about 12 years ago. Mrs Fairway really likes both of these, though she never listens to the answering machine, and I don't either because I hate even having it. and I haven't give out that number in 20 years. Use your own definition of old tech
