  1. Rose: Where you been? Cosmo: I don't know where I've been and I don't know where I'm going. Sounds about right.
  2. Just one of y'all let me know before the final info is released. I gotta make some calls...
  3. She encourages citizens to vote. I really would not want to get Swifties mad at me, though. QAnon kept talking about a Storm coming? Yeah, the Taylor fans would unleash an epic level flood if Fox pissed them off.
  4. The photographer for the church directory when that guy shows up:
  5. That was my second thought but my first was this one:
  6. Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the daaaays. Students grow into Floridumbs, Transforming as their eyes glaze. Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with countless non-woke beers. What words of wisdom can I give them How can I help to ease their way? If you see tiny Ron, run far far away.... *Apologies for the off meter butchering of this classic to Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick who composed and wrote Sunrise, Sunset for the musical, Fiddler On The Roof (1964), sixty years ago.
  7. Training for prison, perhaps? Strong resemblance to Josh Duggar in that photo. (Duggar was the eldest child from the 20 something kids and counting program on TLC. Convicted sex offender.)
  8. Is it just me or is it rather ironic that someone, the head of the company in fact, who has exploding cars and rockets is at all "concerned" about IQ? The hubris, the pseudoscience faith, the lack of comprehension and critical thinking about topics, is rather astounding. I think Elon should ring up Aaron Rodgers, they could be sandbox friends together on their little 1% playground.
  9. Brad Pitt was born in Oklahoma. Long range planning and risk consideration is simply not in the water. Explains a lot don't ya think? *He was raised in Missouri (Springfield).
  10. Kinda looks like meatloaf on a stick.
  11. It's hard to find one that is a head to toe shot to know for sure. He was wearing a boot (single) that was strapped to his foot for awhile.
  12. Well, if you get any snow then you know what to do: My parents used to talk about this ^^I guess it was a thing back in the day with this radio guy.
  13. His name is Dave Sheets and your father is surprised he took the washer/dryer when he left? There's an entire thread about asshole stuff like that here: https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/33511-shart-2024-whats-that-spot-on-the-bathroom-floor/#comment-5884309
  14. Cloak Room 2024 going to be a wild ride.
  15. It's a head scratcher. He could've gone into real estate and given his fondness for conspiracy theories probably would've excelled. I mean Roger Staubach made some folding money that way. (From real estate not tin foil hatting.) Or co-own a car dealership (John Elway)and make his own commercials if it's eyeballs he wants. Out of work QBs don't have to sell low T supplements to make a living if they pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
  16. If he doesn't want to get his doors bumped then he should buy a smaller truck; or if he needs that size then he should park farther away in the uncovered lot towards the back. That solves the door ding problem but there's little remedy for his douchiness.
  17. I love John Wick. Retired, just trying to grieve over his wife's passing and they. killed. his. dog. and. stole. his. car. Oh, and Drive was mentioned--great movie there. Some off-the-wall not completely tongue-in-cheek selections for your consideration (I make no claims that all of these would make the greatest movies list): Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) (with Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron) where a young lass, persecuted for her beauty learns how to wield a dagger and fight back against lookism. Big Jake (1971) (John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Richard Boone). Guy trying to make a living as a rancher and goes after grandkid rustlers. Boondock Saints (Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Billy Connolly) Sometimes when you live in a neighborhood without an HOA it's always a fight to keep it clean. Cruella (2021) (Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Mark Strong, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, John McCrea) Precocious artist wants to live her life designing beautiful garments but an evil-minded crone has other plans until young Estella realizes her potential for mayhem and vengeance. The Odyssey (1997 TV miniseries) (Armand Assante, Isabella Rossellini, Bernadette Peters, Greta Scacchi, Eric Roberts, Christopher Lee, Vanessa Williams et al) Veteran wants to go home after the war and the real world whole lotta strange events won't stop hasslin' him so he has to keep fighting.
  18. Women and minorities with a target on their back in the current political climate? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. The old "well we need to judge people on merits therefor DEI talk is bad, 'kay" that quickly morphs into "YOU people (and you know who I mean) don't have the merit to be in these positions and we'll decide what that is."
  19. He was also in Trouble With The Curve and outclassed by Eastwood, Adams, Goodman, and Matthew Lillard, etc. Heck even the guy that played the prima donna slugger who couldn't hit a curve ball was better.
  20. He was too busy purchasing bleach. BULOVA! SWATCH! TIMEX!
  21. Nope, we traveled through DV this summer and while it was higher than TX, it wasn't that high. Also were driving around the PNW in the mountains in the fall and still wasn't 8 bucks. Maybe he means jet fuel for his lil plane?
  22. Oh Lord, @jimmyjazz
  23. I'm rather fond of the phrase Mr. Rogers used to use (it was even in the movie about him where Tom Hanks was in the titular role): anything mentionable is manageable. It may not fit every single situation (i.e. under the not every thought has to be uttered because sometimes it's mean or rude) but when it comes to feelings, emotions, perspectives, experiences I think he was very very good at helping us understand how to cope with ourselves in positive ways. Coping, that's what we do even when we don't realize it, we cope with ourselves and the world around us. We have good habits and bad habits and flaws and foibles and experiences and ways of being and all the things that makes us who we are. Coping has a slightly negative connotation perhaps coming from its definition (to deal with and attempt to overcome problems and difficulties) or even from its ancient and obsolete meaning (to strike/to fight) but IMO, it doesn't have to be: coping is living and that is what living beings do, deal with and overcome the problems related to life on this planet. We don't have to fight (with ourselves), we can be allies and finding peace within ourselves and with others allows us to flourish. I'm glad you're feeling better today.
