  1. I fail to see how any of this explains Jonathan Cain playing his keyboard on a wall...
  2. I found an artist's rendering.....I'm sure it's pretty close to accurate.
  3. Everything was fine till that blonde bitch showed up and ate our goddamned porridge.
  4. I mean....I think we should let the good senator continue, he's making some good points. Also, have you seen my pants?
  5. Would she be with a dude like me if she didn't go for such low-brow things? Think, man. Think. Also a fair assumption. Weather will be cold. I will surely be making some sort of warm, bean-ish concoction at some point this weekend.
  6. It's gonna be cold, that seems certain. However, it looks like it's more moderate than "2021, we all gonna die" cold. The question is whether it's gonna be wet. Ain't that always the question?
  7. That's not even true. "Success" will be measured in what they SAY they did, which will have little relationship to what they actually do. What they will actually do is enjoy and abuse the trappings of power, personally benefit from the position, and bleed the taxpayer dry for their own benefit. This is what performative grifters do. They don't actually believe in any policy to serve any concept of the public good.
  8. Your grandpa and mine must have served in the same unit. To his dying day, he hated the RC. Told the story of being in the European theater, massive firefight had just ended. He's still covered in dirt, smoke, and blood. RC shows up, offering cigarettes -- yeah, I could really use one. Then they told him the price, and he told them to fuck off. Yep, we are huge WCK fans. My wife already sent in our first donation to them. We really are also looking to get guidance on LOCAL groups, which may well include local churches. They are often plugged in to direct community needs and, having worked with our local churches for disaster relief and similar needs in Texas, we know personally that it's pretty much a 100 pennies on the dollar go to the cause sort of thing. And they're generally pretty good at vetting the needs and making sure that people who really need help get the help. Presbyterian Disaster Relief is a national org, but works directly with local churches. And I have friends actively involved with both a Catholic and Methodist congregation in PP (the Catholic church burned, I know), so they will know of needs to fill.
  9. Man....I always thought I'd have been a cool bootlegger. Gotta get me one of them fancy Chris Craft boats because dude....style is everything. I'll run whiskey to Mexico, wind in my hair, babes "helping me load and unload my cargo." Yeah, man....good times.
  10. Because he is. They all are. They are entirely performative bullshit. Tats, tough talk, excusing war criminals, cheating on your wife, and hitting women. That's what they are: pathetic losers who strut and show off the trappings, but are all about victimizing the weak (because if they ever actually took on someone for real, they'd get their fucking asses kicked).
  11. There is a 0% chance he would ever be eligible for a transplant. Dude says he can pound back forty fucking drinks A DAY. They don't give livers to active alcoholics (Mickey Mantle aside...).
  12. Hey man, I'm on your team for the most part. The only way we'll realize that touching the hot stove is bad for us is if we hold our hand on there and really hear and feel the sizzle. Pain is the only thing we understand.
  13. Dude....Daly will be immortal. Got the whole Keith Richards thing going on.
  14. I just need to bust out my cross country skis and to get your address. I'll come take whatever I need.
  15. Just got back from two weeks in Germany, mostly to go see our kids. We really just covered Frankfurt, Koblenz, Mainz, Munich, and a couple of excursions from Munich into other parts of Bavaria. The longest transit we had was the 3.5 hour train ride from Mainz to Munich. And we STILL did too much, and it all kinda kicked my ass and I came home tired and ill. We did two weeks in Scotland in August, and the same thing - our itinerary probably had 10-15% more stuff on it than it should have had. Just can't handle the travel the way I could when I was young. Don't overload your schedule, LISTEN TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE ABOVE. And trust us when we tell you that one of those "down days," where you just wander a city/neighborhood and take it easy, may well end up being one of the best days of your trip.
  16. It's Texas in 2025. If your choice is the shit sandwich, or the shit sandwich with bacon....hey, bacon's nice. But "how about....not a shit sandwich?" is never, ever going to be on offer.

    Pizza

    What is this "small" of which you speak? See, one of life's great pleasures is when the family is outta town. You order a Savage, all the way -- add the jalapenos and anchovies. And yeah, you order a large. You eat a few slices for dinner. Then you eat a slice cold for breakfast on the way to work the next day. Then maybe another coupla slices for dinner that night. Cold? Heated up on the griddle? Hey man, dealer's choice!
  18. Well, speak of the devil, look what just showed up from Ukraine: Looks like I got me a new keychain. Merry Christmas, and Fuck Russia.
  19. Dustin Burrows of Lubbock is your new Texas Speaker of the House. He's better than the other option, from what I understand. I damn with faint praise, perhaps.
  20. Because as a society, we've decided that "wealth" is a proxy for genius, across the board. That is, if you are rich....then you must know everything, about everything, and your wealth is proof that you are the smartest human being who ever lived. We haven't figured out that "wealth" is a known proxy for only one thing: having made a lot of money. Maybe by luck. Maybe by a great skill for building a great business and making a profit, gaming the system, or ripping people off (all are ways one can accumulate great wealth). But that's it. Being wealthy means that you made a lot of money. But in America, it means you are the smartest person ever, so you must be invited into and deferred to on every subject. "Mr. Musk, the patient is experiencing a Type 2 myocardial infarction....how should we treat it? Shut up, Dr. Cooley -- we want to hear from the REAL genius!"
  21. ICE CREAM SHOULD NOT BE OFFERED AS AN OPTION WITH COBBLER. COBBLER COMES WITH ICE CREAM. IT'S AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE DISH.
