  1. This just in, whiny litigation across the water:
  2. Mildly amusing. Aggies think this proves how good they are. More fart huffing: Pure Aggie Yes, we envy A&M's achievements in that same period of time. We won two MNCs right before the 55 year mark and won the SWC 7 years in a row ending in 1975. We've played three times for the MNC and NC in that same period of time.
  3. I've kind of fallen in love with Indiana. I had a similar feeling for Iowa State when we were Big 12. Indiana football is pretty old school tough discipline. I enjoy watching their games. I pretty much think they deserve their ranking. I'd love to see that matchup. I'm glad of the expanded playoff because of the wild possibilities. We'd be the story of the decade if we took it all (must win out). What a ride! A footnote of pleasure would be doing in the year the Aggies have their best chance since the 90s (fuck the Covid season).
  4. It's pretty wild and fun when you can't really point to a dominant group among the top ten teams. It felt like it would be that way from the beginning. I'd say Bama, Georgia, and Ohio State are the barely elite. A&M has done with their easy schedule all that can be done. I suspect that they belong lower in the rating, but it's so hard to tell for sure. If we get our safeties back and Arch keeps growing, we might end up being the national monster. Big if. If Arch can execute from the start, I think we can jump ahead of Georgia early. Sark's specially designed plays will work. Then we have to see if we can hold off their furious fourth quarter comeback.
  5. Worldview is such a nice word for psychopathy. They'll probably use Epstein's plane as the ultimate flaunt to their blind Church of the Cruel Jesus supporters. Not only are they teenagers, but they look pre-pubescent! Jackpot!
  6. Don't be stupid. Be a smarty! Come and join the Nazi Party! A little rictus. A few years ago, I caught a video of him going from normal to this pose with such creepy ease. It's like a switch. I'm sure he can go from full stupor to this plastic expression in a millisecond.
  7. Really classes up the neighborhood.
  8. * Yes, the joy around here could hardly be contained after beating Kentucky and Mississippi. We're just easily satisfied fans, I guess. ** Oh, you're a sly one. *You funny. ** TexAggy (see post below this one) *** Non sequitur incoherence. Stroke? * TexAggy Is that you, William?
  9. An actual Christian leader uses the term religionists to describe these awful people. They've joined a cruel club with a Christian name but embrace none of the philosophy. In the 80s, the big thing from the found-Jesus-hogs was some quote about "stewardship." That allowed "stewarding" wealth which is, somehow, way different than owning more shit than you need. I was at a small gathering where a dickhead I really loathed was arguing the Bible doesn't require you to be generous. The nuns he was arguing with kept coming up with Bible passages to dispute him (of course, they were killing him), but the dickhead felt safe because he had his one or two passages where he and his type found what they were looking for. This went on awhile. I was already irreligious, but I liked cold debate. I, not a Bible scholar or even possessed of a passing knowledge of it, interrupted them and they politely waited for what I had to say. I know you have quotes and stuff from the Bible, but doesn't everything you (dickhead) claim go against the way Jesus lived and led and spoke? What a stunning moment! The nuns pointed at me and said, "That's it! That's it!" Dickhead was silenced. They were so tied up in quote wars, that they lost sight of the big picture. Pardon the tldr story. Goddamn you, Carton! Your slovenly ways and resemblance to an effeminate French noble have inflamed me to action! We shall meet at the TexAgs parking lot and settle this like men. When I am done with you, even Dr. Manet will not be able to save you! I suggest you train with Lord Liucci. You will not escape the cold point piercing your worthless, rotten heart, but maybe you'll be able to put up some sort of fight. Weak man! We shall see.
  10. I've said more than once that a white male born when I was missed the draft to Vietnam, always had a safety net with mom and dad, could always find a job so long as your record was clean. All of this in the most prosperous time of the most prosperous nation in the history of the world. That said, the so-called Greatest Generation would have been the same as me and I as them had we switched birthdays. Same with you and me. Fortuna smiles on some and not on others. And we're not all the fucking same in each generation. The Greatest Generation paid their dues in the Depression and WW2. Next? They lived in a country that controlled 50% of the world market. They fought for freedom and didn't extend it to negroes or women or people of color. They became just another rapacious generation of Americans who fell in love with Ronald Fucking Reagan and happily rolled back government efforts to share a miniscule amount of the budget with those in need. Fuck them. Fuck us. Fuck you. Fuck me. A birthdate does not bestow moral superiority. In the words of Sgt. Hartman,
  11. One of the cleverest and most cynical reads of the Dems ever. The Dems can't say no to a Black candidate. They're terrified of losing the Black vote but don't respect them enough to let them decide about what a shit heel Thomas is. They are also not cynical enough to see the Black vote won't be swayed to the GOPs over this issue. The Dems are so cowardly, they drag in Anita Hill instead of just voting their conscience. Of course, they compound their weak leggedness when they cave on invading Iraq thinking they'll be saved by some double talk language in the bill or whatever it was. And I vote for them. I hold my nose sometimes to do it, but the alternative since Reagan was elected has been out of the question for me.
  12. Another exciting uniform reveal for the Aggies. He walks through a vineyard to a winery to the sound of The Godfather theme. The witty parrots of TexAgs enthuse and break into wild hilarity at the tiredest most obvious jokes. I slapped my knee so hard that the cap shot out of my skin and hit an inattentive rat with enough force to kill it. Wild! Aggies are the ultimate authority on cool. Blaggies are squares! Here's a sober judgment on the importance of this video to the kids. These videos are empire building! Now? Aesthetics:
  13. I'm saying that she may be shrewd and bold enough to break from Trump. If she's right, and Trump falls, she'll have MAGA credentials without the full load of Trump dookie.
  14. Our newspapers and TV news won't even call a lie a lie. They quote the lie then, if we're particularly lucky, they quote somebody who doesn't believe the lie. That's pretty watery reporting. Here's a headline: President Trump lies about cost of living It's true and unreachable for libel or slander laws. The owners and the boys in legal won't have it, though.
  15. I'll differ with you a little on this one. The ships of the line threw a greater weight in metal by virtue of their array of relatively huge cannons. Line of battle fights were punching matches at close range. The carronade threw a huge ball with great force across short distances. It was developed towards the end of the sailing battleship's reign so reflects how the British and others viewed the way heavy fights would go. The British superiority in gunnery was based more on speed than accuracy. Frigates were designed to fight more like the way you describe. They were far too small with their 20-odd relatively little cannon to withstand a single broadside of 45 heavy guns. As good as the Aubrey Maturin books are, I still love Hornblower. The stories and his character remain excellent to me. I almost think Aubrey and Maturin divide Hornblower's natures as a cold-blooded intellectual and first rate captain.
  16. [ETA: Consider my post the tedious long version of @The Dog's concise observation.] This is an interesting development. She says idiotic things that please her constituency, but maybe she's not an idiot at all. Did she cunningly embrace MAGA for cynical reasons? Is she now cynically reading the tea leaves and wanting to get out front before the bombs fall? She embraced MAGA. She vomited out everything the cult wanted to hear. She made a national name for herself. Trump's errant policies alienate the base voters. Trump is obviously wasting away mentally. She's smart enough to be the first rat off the listing ship. She starts redefining herself as not so radical. She openly disagrees with Trump. She clearly breaks with the plan to prop up Trump in office for a third term. She suggests she may run herself as though Trump will not be a factor to her chances. We often underestimate our enemies with careless declarations about their lack of intelligence. I begin to wonder about Margorie. Despicable but maybe not stupid.
  17. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say how gratifying that is.
  18. He thinks the only way people can know about cost of living is reading in the paper. Because that's the only contact he has with it. Remember what a revelation the word "groceries" was to him. New word. Never heard it much. Groceries. Huh. What do ya know?
  19. In the second picture they're in line ahead formation. Just like these powerful battleships: I've read a lot of fiction and some nonfiction set in those days.
  20. I don't know how you could tell but thank you!
  21. When you're a celebrity, it's not rape. You can get away with anything when they're teenagers. They love you. Trump doesn't recognize rape as a crime. It's a business model.
  22. Man, woman, camera, tripod. I still got it. I should run for president someday. Haven't heard from Jeff for a while. A young version of Ivanka. Ivanka. Ivanka...
  23. I'd be shoving escapees from the fire back into the building. If true, remarkable how the GOPs found their moral compasses right after getting their clock cleaned on Tuesday. Are you disputing the Walmart Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Consumer Price Index?
