  1. This thread went to shit even faster than the UHC CEO assassination thread....
  2. OK, I have a continuation question in the meme theme: Has anyone ever come out with an official version of what he was actually saying? Surely this isn't it. And yes, I'm calling you Shirley.
  3. OK, I'm in with a world leaders theme: Vladimir Putin Volodymyr Zelenskyy Benjamin Netanyahu Joe Biden Bashar al-Assad Nancy Pelosi Mohammed bin Salman George W. Bush Martin Sheen - president Josiah Bartlett Barron Trump (and for the record, I am perfectly content only getting 27 or 28 points for Putin)

    Getting old sucks

    I have reached the age where towel drying the underside of my scrotum after my morning shower is typically the highlight of my day. Not in an erotic sense, more in a scratching that itch that you didn't even realize you had kind of way.
  5. We had a GI viral bug Christmas camp several years ago. Four adults and two children. No one was spared. The onset of the first puke from each person was about an hour apart. Much better in 36-48 hours, but man it was brutal up to that point. Would NOT recommend.
  6. My wife likes an occasional iced coffee, but she loads it up with creamer. She bought one of those Stok bottles at Costco, and I wash and refill it with a stout pot of home brew, let it cool and refrigerate. Heck of a lot cheaper than $6 a bottle, and with as much crap as she puts in it she doesn't complain.
  7. Incorrect. He stated in his post it was delicious.
  8. Well, The Weather Channel's long range forecast for the Nashville TN area looks brisk. There is an 8 day stretch (Jan 6-13) where the warmest daily high is 36 and the warmest nightly low is 22. If that forecast holds up, there won't be much sweaty ass around here.
  9. That is a good looking big date.
  10. Podiatrists. Like chiropractors, but with scalpels.

    He could be gloving it up MJ style...
  12. Assuming that's a left hand drive vehicle, that LEO took a whale of a shot to throw that screen.
  13. No clue what price that is, but there seems to be a lot of digits. Must be Surly 0.01%er material.
  14. Our dog (Westie) licks and chews every bed we buy him until it is disgusting and coming apart with padding everywhere. I am open to other options.
  15. These were peak family travel highlights throughout my childhood. There were no connections with Syria throughout my childhood. Carry on.
  16. I'll comment. GTFOOHWTBS
  17. A little fancy for this thread, but I think the paper plate and plastic spoon will just get you in under the wire.

    AB could be a southpaw. That's my business hand.
  19. Can you still technically call that a grilled cheese? More like a Texas cheese steak. Either way, would smash. Well done.
  20. I thought the pettiness here from both universities would be appreciated (for opposite reasons) by Surl... One for all: After UC threatened legal action, Tennessee middle school rebrands to 'Musketeers' ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. — After being threatened by the University of Cincinnati with legal action, a Tennessee middle school has rebranded and will now share a moniker with UC's biggest rival. Last month, Cheatham Middle School - located about 30 miles outside of Nashville - posted to their Facebook page saying they received a cease-and-desist letter on behalf of UC, with the school citing copyright and licensing infringements of CMS using "Bearcats" as their nickname, as well as a logo that resembled UC's C-Paw logo. Monday, the school announced what its new name would be. "We are proud, we are honored to say that we have chosen the Musketeer as the new mascot that will take us into the future," Cheatham County Athletic Director Jeff Hobbs told WLWT Monday. Hobbs said the idea came to school leaders through social media, after a Xavier alum and founder of a Cincinnati-based marketing firm offered to assist the school of less than 600 students to help rebrand after UC's biggest rival. "The community near Xavier really gravitated to this. It was kind of a fun, playful suggestion for our new mascot," Hobbs continued. "While we all had a good laugh about it and really respected the rivalry that comes along with it. The more we dove in deep to the idea and the meaning of what a Musketeer is. You know, the slogan: 'All for one, one for all.' When you really dug down to the definition of a Musketeer and how, just that side-by-side next to my brother, the all for one." Musketeers was one of the school's final four choices and ultimately beat out Bobcats, Coyotes and Cubs. In exchange for becoming the Musketeers, Anthony Breen and his company, Synergistics, offered to foot the bill. Hobbs says Synergistics is just as excited as the school is. "They've bought in and they're excited about who they're doing this for. And it's those children and a Title I school in a rural county outside of Nashville. They've really grabbed on and gravitated to the actual people they're doing this for." Before the name was made official by the school, Musketeer Gear, a non-profit founded by Xavier alumni and run by and for Xavier student-athletes, already had a "Cheatham Musketeers" t-shirt that is eligible for purchase. All the proceeds from the shirt go directly to CMS. Announcing the new name is just the first of what Hobbs says will be a long process. "It's nothing that is going to happen overnight," he said of the rebranding efforts. "We're making sure that our school and our community know that it is a slow process. Unfortunately, we can't snap our fingers tomorrow and have everything fixed or changed." Changes will range from posters in the hallway to behavior and reward charts inside classrooms to, of course, a new gym floor. One of the things that won't change: The school's colors. While they're taking on the "Musketeers" name, the school will still keep its color scheme of red and black.
  21. This was my instant thought. Knowing someone was going to reply with this was my second.
