  1. I think Russia has more battle deaths and injuries if you remove all of the civil war deaths due to rampant diseases like dysentery, measles, typhoid and malaria and such. More civil war soldiers died from disease than from combat related events. I wasn’t using total deaths as a comparison - because that is kind of apples and oranges.
  2. A reminder that Russia has lost more men than both sides of the American Civil War combined….in half the time.
  3. That is nice and all, but I like Thujones interpretation better.
  4. (j/k sounds delish) Here is one of my favorite parts of turkey day (which my sons and I celebrated today) - throwing the turkey carcass, various root vegetables and whatever seasoning suits you into a stock pot and let it barely simmer until the goodness infuses. My son, who cooks at one of the nicer up-and-comer New Orleans restaurants, is coming over Tuesday to make gumbo for his pops - and I should have enough stock left to make some kick ass cauliflower soup now that the temperature is dipping a bit at night. My oldest son* does not cook, but is a manager for one of the Brennan Clan Kingdoms, which helps me get a table when I screw up and forget a reservation. (*Neither of my sons are lawyers, which shows that I have a high degree of parenting skills.)
  5. Maybe she’s got huge tracks of land?
  6. We both had games against our little brothers yesterday, and as I was watching the repeated horns down hand signals, and thinking about those assholes swaying back-and-forth while singing about sawing the horns off the old Texas mascot, I thought about what a true self-own it is to give your supposed ‘big rival’ special status. I’m sure you are all familiar with that asshole FSU mascot (fake-Osceola) riding his horse Renegade to stick the flaming spear in the field prior to the game. When Florida plays in Tallahassee, and only then, he gets down off his nag and plants the spear. Allegedly, putting the spear in the ground is getting ready for war - and getting off the horse and planning the spear is actually declaring war. Those idiots are signifying that we are the only program important enough to warrant a declaration of war. Neither of those programs are smart enough to figure out that when they single out Texas and Florida in that fashion, they are in reality recognizing that we are their superiors, the programs and universities they most respect and fear. They are the envious grubby wannabes - jealous lil’ bros, with their oily noses pressed against the dirty windows of their shitty institutions who gaze at us with a mixture of envy, hate and insecurity. May it forever remain thus…
  7. Meanwhile, needs that were not met deeply require some kind of solace
  8. 24-3 Gata so far. Miami and Noles lose on the same day! Excellent!
  9. as a long time ago DB, that coverage and interception by the Tennessee player in the end zone was perfection
  10. I voted for the Talibaptists, but then they decided to force their theology on me against my will. Who could’ve seen it coming?
  11. Now, give that four or five more decades and you’ll be where I am.
  12. you are gaining in true wisdom grasshopper…
