  1. The "Soul Man" sequel looks weird as fuck. But I will watch for his demise at the hands of the Harvard educated attorney.
  2. Yeah, I always felt like that didn't get enough national coverage. It's basically a lake with no current/tide. There's another photo of a guy jumping off a jet ski with a drowning woman in the foreground. And the drunk dude is clearly swimming towards the flag that fell of his Sea-Doo instead of trying to help the lady in peril. Perfect imagery for Trump's approach to females suffering. But I guess it's local bias. When we used to have an office in Lakeway, there was a boat dealer out there that at least gave it the old college try. He had a line of I think it was Boston Whalers or Regals. And he'd have like 5 of 'em outside. And like Ford did with Eddie Bauer or King Ranch...they were decked out already with a "trump" package with MAGA flags and shit already pre-painted on the side and the center console was painted gold. And some other goofy shit. This was after the Lake Travis debacle but I wonder if he ever moved any of that product. Remember the movie "Carlito's Way" where Sean Penn and Al Pacino take Penn's big boat out to rescue that felon (IIRC it was Riker's). There's gotta be a sequel in here somewhere which also ends in the felon drowning.
  3. He has gone by many names over the centuries. He even claims to be a retired gentleman of leisure living in Austin, TX suburb. But the "Lioncourt" banner hanging in his garage gives him away to the perceptive.
  4. Okay, so you literally worked both the "Jack the Ripper" case for Scotland Yard and "the Servant Girl Annihilator." You are immortal, aren't you?
  5. What’s the saying, “every accusation is a confession”? He never fails to find a new way to use the word ‘Swamp’. When he has perpetual swamp-ass. A crack filled with old shit, orange tanning fluid, bits of old diaper, sweat, and half a classified document.
  6. If there’s not a group of LGBTQ+folks forming a band or dance troupe right now called “the Pride Month Grievances”, then let’s just skip to July
  7. “The money’s on the dresser, chocolate.”
  8. Something, something…soft 17
  9. This ^ but can you imagine if the three of them were locked inside the speaker’s private bathroom doing blow, the absolutely insane shit they’d be coming up with between rails? Even Gary Busey would say, “okay, you guys are fucking insane and need help. Let me get a bump though…”
  10. Could be. He is wearing a "Chico's Bail Bonds" shirt under that blazer.
  11. They were there to serve as intimidators to Fauci on someone's direction. As if Fauci hasn't received enough threats in the last few years. Fauci will have a dozen institutes and schools named after him by the time my daughters are my age. Fellows will spend time in a federal prison which won't go well for him given those pretty lips. Raiklin will be dead by his own hand in an apparent overdose and/or firearms accident. It's really not that hard to hurt people in this day and age of untraceable money. Having said that, I think I'm gonna hold off for my latest booster which is due. Last couple were rough and I've other health shit going on and am on two Rx's for the first time in my life.
  12. I don't know how to make memes. But I had an idea for one along these lines. And while his gravesite (likely Florida or his family's plots in Queens) will become a rallying point for violent extremists (which is why the practice of not burying inciting lunatics came into fashion within the last 100 years). The Secret Service, or at least local law enforcemnt, would likely patrol his burial site. But I'm picturing the Pawn Star guys as the law guys: -I want to take a shit on Trump's Grave for $100 "Meh. Best I can do is $5 to piss on Eric's tombstone." Almost every President of the 20th century is either entombed at some church, national site, or their Presidential Library. He's never going to have one so that rules that out. It'll still be some sort of "guarded" location but it'll be difficult to defecate there. Difficult, but not impossible. My grift idea about the exploratory library committee aside, it's probably for the best they don't build one for him. Because think about how many people would get arrested for taking shits in public all over that fucking thing. I mean, thousands of us would be arrested every year and thousands of children traumatized. But the magnesium citrate/malt liquor cocktail chugging contests in the parking lot would be fucking epic.
  13. Yeah, didn't mean to pick on Pinthouse. It's done very well. It's just that's literally the first area set for demolition. Olive Garden may actually endure because it's at the edge of the whole complex and can be worked in still for NNN revenue. But stuff like Texican Cafe, Poke-E-Jo's, that chinese place (which we order from every year on Christmas Day), nd a few others...they're on the earliest of the chopping block.
  14. I am not above Olive Garden. I just wouldn't visit NYC and choose to eat there over all the other great eateries. But it strikes me as a MAGA stance, "We're boycotting New York, except Olive Garden, Sbarro's, and the forest-themed one with the exotic animal shit on display." You'd appreciate this as a lawyer who does some real estate work. Barshop & Oles is still trying to figure out how to keep that Olive Garden involved in the new Brodie Oaks development. Every other restaurant there is basically dead, other than some Pok-E-Jo's catering (but they can do that from a trailer on the outskirts of town). But that Olive Garden continues to be one of the Top 10 stores in gross sales in all of Texas. I really did used to enjoy their salad.
  15. Well who's gonna support the employees at the Times Square Olive Garden, Penelope? You ever think of that? They can't all brunch at your fancy Chelsea joints.
  16. Maybe we just have magnetic personalities Just happened to me again at HEB this morning. Parked in bumble-fuck Egypt, 30 spots away from the next car. Come back from the store, and take a work call and had the windows down. Sure as shit, a fucking Suburban has to park right on top of me and sit there and make a call as well, despite there being acres of open space on all sides of me. Are people still that starved for human proximity from Covid? Just buy some blow and get on Grindr like an adult.
  17. Man, I hadn't thought about that term in decades. My father was mainly a Comms. NCO, but did some navigational work when they had to hustle their destroyer group down to Cuba in '62 from the North Atlantic and learned a buncha shit along the way. He had a knack for it anyway. Years later (obviously), he's got me for the weekend and we're at Chicago Ridge Mall. And it's one dipshit driver after another and he's fuming. But he tries to turn into a learning lesson for me and explains that term and yielding and right-of-way and how egress/regress work. So we go inside the mall for whatever and same bullshit happens after that. And he just gives up and says, "Fuck it. Just assume every driver is trying to kill you. If they don't, it's a a pleasant surprise." /csb
  18. Daughter doesn't have a phone yet. Thankfully. Yeah, I get 'em all the time too. Lauren Bush Lauren had to release a statement admitting to how they got hacked and are now like the Top 5 phone center to filter through foreign scam calls. I ignore them. Been getting 'em for years. But this was the first time I got this "intimidating" version in a text format. Was always calls or emails that my kids couldn't see. Almost makes you miss the old days when your father, divorced from your mother, calls the house to tell you both that there may be some suspicious cars coming by to kidnap you.
  19. Baking Powder?
  20. "Now do '23"??? Is that how commodity futures work? Asking for a friend in 2022.
  21. Fair point. But I have the historical knowledge and lookout post of this issue to supplant on top of more events of modernity. As I suspect you do as well. But the folks over there in the mix likely don’t give a shit what we think, nor should they. im just a context/pattern recognition guy by trade so I tend to look through learned filters, despite being a dumbass. But I’m an educated sumbasss. And this latest round, yeah, this one is way fucking more dangerous than most of the previous ones. And more innocent people will sadly suffer If I could back in time at the divide of the original kingdoms and just hand them a Rand McNally atlas. Not for the sake of the borders, but for all to see there’s plenty of room for all to either co-exist or sequester themselves into corners. That, and being humane to one another But so far we haven’t learned much
  22. You don’t even have to go back to 1000BCE. Just in modernity, fall of Ottoman Empire, Sazanov Agreement, Sykes-Pico act, and then establishment of the modern nation-state of Israel. I doubt most of those protestors know what most of those historically impactful events even are. But to your point, I’ve noticed the British get awfully quiet when subjects like this come up. You could fill up one of their stolen museums with the awkward silence.
  23. Yeah, the goofy turns thing is a good point. I was simply referring to the handful of retail centers where we do 90% of our shopping. Every other aisle has a gravel walkway between rows so you don’t have to worry about somebody parking on top of your tail. And I feel safer with the girls back there helping me pack stuff up than if they were in the actual aisle with some deadly silent Tesla creeping through. Old man yells at cloud. It really does seem like driving/parking etiquette has gotten decidedly worse since pandemic ended.
  24. Yeah, I park almost at the end of every aisle. I know most cars/trucks have sensors now, but driver's are dicking around on their phones. But the thing I've really noticed, at least in Austin, is I don't like being up front with the more congested spots with the kids because of all the EV's we have here. You can't fucking tell when those things are backing up anymore because they don't make any noise in reverse. Church, our stores, kids' school---it's literally about 50% EV's of all makes and models and maybe it's my middle age hearing, but I just can't discern when one is backing up or even coming towards us. Obviously you look up, but in a parking lot---you're usually focused on watching the kids, not all the vehicles. Even though you park farther away, and have to walk the kids past more vehicles, you can quickly ascertain who has closed their trunk of their doors, and is about to back up, and make a plan to cross to the other side or take the walkway or whatever. Instead of just being close up and having no idea which of those 6 cars is about to pull out. Almost makes you miss the days of the creepy windowless diesel van that at least had the decency to announce itself with the fumes.
