  1. “A lot of people are saying that Biden slept 10 times more soundly than me in meetings. I’m perhaps the best light sleeper to ever hold this office.”
  2. We picked up an LSU DB out of the blue today that no one saw coming. Although he committed to LSU. An Alabama kid. I thought our class was gonna be a de-commit massacre after Billy was launched, but we essentially lost nobody. Everyone seems pretty excited that Georgia Tech’s offensive coordinator is joining Sumrall’s staff. As far as play-calling, we would’ve accepted a dartboard over Billy. it’s pretty easy to make us happy right now.
  3. I was this many years old when I saw my first reverse nose job.
  4. You mean the same peeps who said that the Texas gerrymandering was okey-doke? I read something the last month or so that said that the large increase in Hispanic voters for Trump was a part of the GOP calculation in gerrymandering, and that if the Hispanic percentage went back to Biden2020/Obama election numbers, that the new gerrymandered districts will not be automatically a GOP win. Is there any truth to that, or somebody wish casting?
  5. That has to be the fourth or fifth drone strike on Syzran since August. I think that name has been coming up an awful lot the last six months
  6. Holy shit! Watching the news right now, and it is breaking that the grand jury returned a no true Bill in a DOJ redo trying to indict Leticia James. Of course they will try again, but I think you can put a fork in the selective prosecution roast when they try again.
  7. “So, as you can clearly see, Trump is controlled by Putin, and Putin has gotten Trump to create an entrée into America to sell Trump-branded Ladas…”
  8. Again, once a month we should get one post to award multiple reps. Use or lose. Dammit, some posts just deserve more than one.
  9. Is that when you can’t even act dead and you wake up all sparkly looking?
  10. This is astounding. Even the Gators with their new Tulane coach (hired right before signing day) managed to keep every of our early signing studs except one running back. And running back is not really a problem for Florida right now. So a fan base that admittedly was not super impressed by the hire at least saw the new guy not run everybody off. I have no idea how much committed kids like the money - or like the coach - or like the school - but when almost nobody stays that is kind of weird.
  11. ICE just raided Home Depot’s and Lowe’s, including one five minutes from my office. One of our Hispanic paralegals said that a bunch of them were outside an elementary school that has undocumented worker children attending. Since she is a citizen, she picks up a bunch of kids and takes them to school every day - and her husband takes them back home so the parents don’t have to be out on the road.
  12. I’m not gonna read this whole damn old thread, but that is a great band name
  13. Gary Glitter did. But he’s not American.
  14. To be clear, Brisket is not casting shade on the normal rates of drug use and compulsive masturbation. Carry on.
  15. If it’s rhythmic de-committing, then I doubt Penn State fans will hear of it.
  16. “Good Lord, it’s good!”
  17. “You are asking me why a youth pastor would have kiddie porn on his computer? Why, that’s a question you should direct to computer Jesus.”
  18. Well, the Barsoom vote is pretty much a monolithic block.
  19. I watched so many videos and podcasts about Ukraine that I can’t remember which one I saw this one on, but it was showing Russian meat troops that were not given body armor or even helmets to help them in their meat assaults. Essentially, Russia is so broke and so out of equipment that the people they trick into signing contracts find themselves in Ukraine within two weeks without helmets, body armor, medical kits, sleeping bags, or any basic essentials of being in combat. I would guess that the Russian mind in their military officer corp would realize that things are likely coming to an end soon. Unlike Dick Winters in Band of Brothers who told his men to get a good nights sleep and report to him in the morning that they had crossed the river to search for prisoners but failed to find any - because the unit was going off-line the next day and to kill a lot of them for a stupid ego mission was something to avoid, Russian officers will send the meat into the grinder without hesitation. Unlike Winters, they are probably stealing the equipment or the money for the equipment because they know the war will end quicker than later - and any grifting that has to be done needs to be done now while the grifting is still possible. As winter approaches you have to believe that Russian troops will not have winter gear or any way not to freeze to death or lose fingers and toes for the next three or four months. If they can’t afford to give them helmets, or even the vests stuffed with plywood instead of armor plate, I see zero chance of Russian troops being able to get through the winter without significant losses and injury due to the severe lack of supply. Even a year ago I remember seeing videos were Russian troops complained that their officers made them purchase their equipment, and if the family didn’t spring for it they were screwed. OTOH, I’m sure Ukraine’s NATO allies are rummaging through their older winter kit and shipping it all to Ukraine. I would bet that the site picture on a modern thermal site looking at a Russian trying to stay alive in -20 weather is an image that pops out.
