  1. I like how A&M is right below Clemson. Their close losses to Clemson were some of the Aggies' best wins of the last 10 years.
  2. I'd call the Christmas episode the only weak one they've ever had. The comic scenes and really emotional scenes mix together so very well. Ava's appeal about the relationship is gut-wrenching. The final scene is such a well deployed surprise. I'm so glad that Jean Smart got to rise above the limitations of her character in Designing Women, which was actually a good show the first few seasons. I found her the most attractive to look at; her character was a ditz, so who knew what she was really like. I saw her a few years later in a small movie called Mistress. That little movie has an all-star cast. It's a fun little diversion. She captivated me there. I felt like I was watching somebody paying their dues to move up. Bravo to her. She's great in everything and constantly works.
  3. If it wasn't so tediously filled with the whiny protagonist and everybody talking themselves to death about how scary the situation is, it would have been an accurate remake. Also, the only action sequence of note was the first one. I kept falling asleep. I'd really looked forward to this movie. The trailer looked fun and well-made. If it's an homage to the originals, it's about as interesting to me as an homage to a pile of shit.
  4. Maybe you could have kept the reveal out of your open post.
  5. I saw the documentary about her. I'll use a word I seldom employ: heartbreaking. Fuck that guy. And fuck her father.
  6. I had no idea that was Blue Oyster Cult. Fun song.
  7. Colonel Nonreg writes like Tom Clancy with submarines and thermoclines and recognizing the pure evil of a college football opponent. He ends with a bit of modesty more accurately than he intends: What happens to something that ferments? A&M has been the stinking barrel where "wise perspective" goes to ferment for over a century. The colonel's military style will fill the jars in the corps dorms where fake soldiers imagine they are real soldiers. They likely imagine this third generation Aggie and Marine officer is real as well.
  8. Laughable on its face for anyone with even the mildest sane perspective. Acceptable on its face for those who've been conditioned to recognize any argument for their side as valid. Shamelessness playing to an audience of buffoons is a nasty, dangerous combination.
  9. I've also been thinking about Trump's claim the trial is rigged because the prosecution didn't call witnesses favorable to his case. I can imagine Trump telling his lawyers where the best chance of appeal lies. He was denied a competent defense due to the dereliciton of the prosecution. I look forward to Clarence Thomas' majority opinion sustaining this claim.
  10. Has anyone here every given a second thought to which other schools consider us their number one rival? Can you imagine fretting over maybe Nebraska being the bigger rival with OU fifty years ago? You think Nebraska or OU ever thought about it? Without ebil tu, they don't have a clue about who they are.
  11. Our road through the special season will be filled with wonderful surprises and beautiful places! You can see them now! Everybody is jealous of us! After the season, another decrepit ruin of unfounded confidence and sense of importance are all that remain. Elko is the King of Potemkin World. And such a snappy dresser! (The above is how he appeared at his intro do Duke. He's come a long way, hasn't he?)
  12. You may not have the roles of fucker and fuckee quite right, my friend.
  13. Nope, dumbass. It's partially the cult traditions, but it's mostly how you never shut up about them. Then add the unfounded arrogance found in Aggie statements like this: But, give him credit and likely more money, Elko so knows his audience. He's pretty much guaranteed himself an extension after three years as he'll be getting all the pieces in place that the redass Ags know will lead to their destiny as the envy of the football world. Second sentence can be made more accurate by just switching two words. Lastly, everybody knows who is who in the picture below except the Aggies who always get it backwards.
  14. Fabulous. Saw in on IMAX. Such an interesting world and I love the action. I also love that there are no superpowers. Only Thunderdome was poor, the rest are very good. ATJ is a fast rising star.
