  1. Yeah, I can't do pushups everyday. I'm pretty good with 2 days on, 1 day off, so I'm going to try to stick with that.
  2. Are we counting exercise bike on cycling? I don't get out for real cycling as much as I like, but trying to hit that exercise bike every day at least.
  3. Apparrantly the author is doing a presentation and signing in Austin in February. Unfortunately, by the time I saw it, the tickets were already sold out.
  4. I'm either an awesome father or a terrible one. Gave my 14yo daughter Books 1-3 (She doesn't do audiobooks unfortunately)
  5. I'm not a huge fan of Clancey and that is one of my favorite books.
  6. I watched the mini series and enjoyed it. I generally don't read that kind of stuff (prefer fantasy with all the majic and everything), but I keep thinking I should give it a try.
  7. I'll join in on pushups. I may end up dropping as I hurt a shoulder last year and I haven't really done my strength traning in upper body since. Mainly just working on flexibilitiy and such. But I'll give it a shot!
  8. I read them for the first time a few years ago. They absolutely hold up. There are a very few technology things that aren't really valid anymore (can't think of specific examples), but not many.
  9. Count me in. And because I'm a terrible parent, will there be children's sizes?
  10. It has nice spots. It also a lot of trailer parks.
  11. It willbe his dealership like Vince Young has a steakhouse.
  12. He was, but he was also awesome. The perfect knight!
  13. I picked up a 29" JVC a few years ago to use for retro gaming, but I've never actually set it up! Might try that over the holidays. I installed a bunch of emulators on my Shield which was fun. Really just wish I had more time to play (and more friends that wanted to play!)
  14. Yes, but she gave them all the clap
  15. Maybe that has changed, but that was not the case in the Holiday Bowl years. The article was pretty explicit about how all that stuff I mentioned was being paid for by the team and thus resulting in a net loss for the teams.
  16. Unless it's changed, it's also insane how much and what they spend money on. I remember one of our Holiday Bowls an article broke it down. One of the main line items was buying a PS2 and 5 or 10 games for every player. Another was leather jackets with the Holiday Bowl logo on them (would they even wear those after the game?) All sorts of stuff like that. I get that it was a way to essentially pay players, but then don't go complaining how you lost money on it.
  17. I understand why teams that have coaching changes are dropping bowl bids, but I don't get why any of those are.
  18. CFP didn't ruin college football. It's not perfect, but the last two seasons have been exciting to the last game. In the BCS and 4 team era, it was just maybe 1 or 2 teams arguing about if they should be in, and we all complained about seasons like 2003 when an undefeated major conference team got left out. By the mid teens, you had situations like we had in 2019. A break out season (at least we thought), but not good enough for the playoff, so we go to the Sugar Bowl! We're excited.... and a large chunk of both our and Georgia's starters opt out. For the FUCKING SUGAR BOWL! Yeah, teams and players are opting out of bowl games still, but 12 teams are going in full force into the CFP (well maybe 11, not sure how Ole Miss is looking these days). We've had excitement through the season and a lone loss didn't suddenly make your season a failure. The CFP needs tweaks, but this is a vast improvement overall.

    True. My father was a thief, but firmly believes possession is 9/10ths of the law. Spoiler though, I drank those bottles too!

    Apparantely she was a raging bitch on set. One of the actors who played the son told the actor taking over from him to avoid her at all costs.

    I had a similar. When my older brother was headed back to UT one thanksgiving, my dad went ot check my brothers car for air in the tires, fluids, etc. Came back in with a bottle of vodka under each arm (that cheap crap in the plastic bottle, McCormicks or something?) Brother was pissed. Dad was grinning. I was scheming. A few months later parents were gone and I had a big party. Took a screw driver, popped those caps off without breaking the safety seal and poured the vodka into milk jugs. Filled the bottles with water and put them back. My parents drank a reasonable amount, but it was alwasy scotch or bourbon, so in the next 4-5 years, they didn't finish the bottle of decent vodka they had much less get into my brother's stash. Day finally comes and my dad is getting ready to make something with vodka for everyone at Christmas. I ask him if I can see the bottle, he hands it to me, and I proceed to chug down like that scene in Animal House. My parents just stare at me in horror. I didn't drink the whole thing, but I slammed it back down and said "Thanks, I really needed that!" Then my brother starts laughing, I start laughing and my parents are realize something is up. Brother had taught me that trick about popping tops without breaking the seal. He says "You son of a bitch, you drank my vodka years ago, didn't you?" I say "yes, and it was a hell of a party!" Then we explained what I'd done. Mom thought it was hilarious. Dad was impressed but then made me get in the car and go buy him two new bottles!
  22. Took my dad to see it day after Thanksgiving. Like Sbbruin, no new info, but it was entertaining. I thought Russell Crowe did a phenominal job.
  23. Didn't he flee the country? Not sure he's allowed back in yet. I enjoyed that movie, though there were a few parts that seemed overly dramatisized.
  24. Dragonlance Chronicles, Dragons of Autumn Twilight First tried to read it when I was in elementary school (4th grade maybe?) but I was too young I think. Picked it up again in middle school and proceeded to blow throw the books as fast as they could publish them for about the next decade. My first introduction to D&D and since I never got to play the tabletop games, only D&D until I played Baldur's Gate in 1998.
