Not just Israeli. Few Americans and other countries citizens being held as well.

Mrs. Brat would be a ROCK. STAR. On this site. Get her signed up!!

They don't want to miss out on all the virgins.

Granted. My post was referring to the Isreali hit on the Gaza hospital. That is the one that would require justification. Given Hamas' track record, their bombing an Israeli hospital doesn't seem all that surprising.

The tweet says it was an Israeli strike in Gaza that killed paramedics. Either my reading comprehension skills have declined significantly, or...

Given Hamas' history of hiding military/terrorist activities in civilian structures (homes, schools, mosques, etc.), it's easy to see that hospital being one of them. Hopefully Israel can produce some sort of documentation attesting to that, otherwise that strike will not age well.

What is this, some sort of double secret reverse phychology? Civility is not allowed in here! I keed, I keed...

Not sure if serious...

Put it in reverse, Terry! Oh Lawd!!

Well, it's FSU, so.... Clown school and all...

OK, I'm resurrecting this thread, because it deserves it. After years of drinking bourbon neat or on the rocks, I have transitioned almost exclusively to OF's with the occasional Manhattan thrown in for variety. Consistently better with rye over bourbon, and I don't see the need to pay a premium for the brown water when mixing it up. I have been gravitating to Wild Turkey 101 Rye and Rittenhouse mostly, but Bulleit is no slouch either. I'm lazy (and probably heading towards scurvy), so instead of the orange peel I will do a couple of dashes of regular bitters (normally Angostura, but the last time I went to buy some they were out and I bought a cheaper "Old Fashioned" bitters and it does the trick - I'll track down the brand later if anyone cares) and two dashes of orange bitters. Make my own simple syrup out of turbinado sugar. Generous pours of rye. Never disappoints. I'm sure I could have something that was a twinge tastier with rye at double the price and the actually expressed orange peel, but these are quick, easy and help me forget about my day. Mission accomplished. I'm open to suggestions, but the quick and easy portions of the equation will likely not go away. Fire away, Surly!

It's been a hot minute since I lived in Texas, so this story prompted me to pull up Prosper on Google Maps just to see exactly where it was. The city limit lines on Google Maps show seven distinct carve-outs excluding small areas from the city limits, and really only two of the seven are on the edge of the (otherwise) normal boundaries (three if you count the road leading to a nursery being also carved out). How can there be that much political pull in a town that small? Maybe the same way they are getting a $94M football stadium... Also, $94M?!? North Texas' stadium opened in 2011, so not that long ago, and cost $78M per Wikipedia. It seats just shy of 31K in its current configuration. Just how popular are the Prosper Eagles?

I don’t see the problem with it. Thinking outside the box and adds new wrinkles of interest that those conferences would both find in short supply.

Uhhh...

Hold a couple of fingers from the opposite hand over the lateral (outside) part of the meat of your forearm, like you were trying to take your pulse. Move your wrist up and down. When you feel the muscle tighten up as your wrist extends (comes up), that's the muscle you want to center over. Hit it on the fattest portion of your forearm. That will be tree fiddy.

Is rawdog instead of a paper plate a downgrade or an upgrade on this thread? seems like it could go either way.

Mizzou rushing the field for that?? 1. Yes. 2. How often do you think Mizzou beats a ranked team in CoMo? Let them have their fun in the kiddie pool.

In Portland, I'm pretty sure this is just another weekday.

Meh. There are mouth breathing knuckle dragging fans like that of every school. Kudos to the players for their thick skin and continuing to rub it in!

Those are almost as bad as the gator skined uni's Florida threw out a few years ago. Almost. And that's coming from a UF alum who lives in TN and DESPISES the Vols.

Did Wyoming block it, or did the Tech kicker just kick it into the line? Effort appeared poor…

It does not... all of the above?

Protection from future team losses, temporary uneven distribution helping others and recruiting boosts in TX and CA. Weird, but it does make some sense.

Surely not, because the public backlash if they did would be BRUTAL. You think their reputation in Houston is bad now, how much worse would it get if they sued over this? National sports media would eviscerate them.
