  1. That's not gonna stop the legal maneuvering from getting into "that's never been tried before" territory. I'm not into the wonky nuts-and-bolts of it like I might have been back when I was in college and didn't have to provide for a family, but for those who are, this should make for some pretty damned interesting TV.
  2. Ohio is basically Oklahoma with more trees and less culinary sensibility. Pretty much the same pharmacology and periodontal composition.
  3. Fuck this map. Rexburg has nothing on Boise, I'm telling you.
  4. Capsicum dates back in archaeological evidence to about 6,000 years ago in the Andes. Not that it matters a damn; it for fucking sure wasn't Ohio, and Matt Gaetz fucks children.

  5. I was gonna say, I'm not the only one who thinks that PatriotTakes logo is suspiciously like a pastie, am I?
  6. I will share an award winning harissa recipe with whoever gets Gaetz' confession on tape.
  7. Pequins for the win. When I was in high school, I used to pick melons down in Falfurrias; at the end of every row, there were pequin plants, and my coworkers (whose green cards I never saw) would grab a handful and pop 'em like candy. Taste is sublime, and definitely a hot damned time.
  8. I think we can all agree the final product made us all want to vomit. I just want to win again. Is that so wrong?
  9. To me, that's all results related criticism rather than a statement that the raw material was lacking. Everything that fails looks stupid in the rear view mirror. I don't think he was dumb, I think he made dumb decisions because of psychological stuntedness. He was smart enough; he just couldn't ever prove it. I am holding my breath over a potentially similar issue with Sark going from coordinator to HC, based on his stated reasons for continuing to call plays. I don't think he'll fall into the trap of losing the big picture (and his far superior hiring of coordinators will help), but until he actually does well, it's only natural to feel a little PTSD as a Texas fan.
  10. Has there ever been a bigger disconnect between desired image and actual outcome than Tom Herman? I mean, for all Madden's sloth and ignorance, Mack Brown's teams had one of the better decade runs anyone anywhere has ever had. Yes, they should have been better, and we can all recount our favorite reasons why, but in the end, they brought home one championship and woulda-coulda-shoulda brought home another one. Herman, though, bumblefucked away multiple advantages in ways that still mystify me. He's not stupid, he should have, and I think did, know better. So.... why? What the actual fuck, man? If Sarkisian fails, I'm just hoping it isn't out of terminal self-pitying stupidity like the last guy. I'm ready for more post-mortems of the "why didn't we win even moar" variety. Give me making fun of Madden over lamenting Herman any day.
  11. "...tweeted 'Free Brittany Spears' which kind of makes him a Freedom Fighter..." I've got a sunburn just from witnessing that from the cheap seats.
  12. You want to disbar the state's entire slate of lawyers? Ambitious.
  13. Have you seen Mike Lindell? Seems to me, some face peeling has already been done.
  14. I believe Rudy would prefer his defense be referred to as the "Niener-niener" defense, but basically, yes.
  15. Apples to oranges comparison; it turns out, even when they have a better football team than we do, OU still sucks. That is a fact admissible in evidence any damned where.
  16. So, you can say something blatantly false, and if your intention is to help person A, then person B who is harmed by your lie has no standing, since it was not your intention to hurt them, merely a collateral effect? Sounds like good, solid moral reasoning there.
  17. Lindell's too greasy. A noose would just slide right off. Clearly guillotine is the only appropriate choice.
  18. This. Much better people than RC Slocum have cancer; if you want to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for them. I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but that doesn't mean I have to shed a tear for everyone it happens to.
  19. You left out the part about needing a lobotomy, but basically, yes, if you want to tease out the logic of the situation, they have made a unilateral declaration that grants them no international legal standing without at a minimum bilateral agreements with the U.S. government. Not a smart move, even if it weren't insane.
