  1. I went to the IRS website to read about this issue. I’m hoping one of the lawyer types on this site chime in because that is a fucking complicated document. I understand the 501(c)3 angle, but there is no federal legislation, it is very confusing for me.
  2. It was written by a duo who went by the name Fat Tuesday. Believe it or not I learned that from the movie Logan Lucky. I had to Google their names, Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert
  3. Too late the hero. Old Michael Cain, Cliff Robertson war movie. I don’t think I have seen it since its original release. We are a much more sophisticated audience these days so yes, it’s dated. But, there is something about it that works.
  4. I’m not over it, probably won’t be for a good while.
  5. I have nothing against either team, it’s just boring football.
  6. I had one of these. it is quiet, not Hollywood quiet, but pretty damn close considering you still have the noise of the bolt cycling. Their claim of 117db is subjective. It really depends on how sensitive your db equipment is. Where it is placed, and the atmosphere conditions. But, it is quieter than any 300 blackout or 5.56 suppressed that I have worked with, and I load my own ammo. However $2200 is steep considering you still must supply a barrel and open up the barrel channel on your stock. And at the end of the day you still have a .22 rimfire. https://libertycans.net/product/idf-10-22-integrally-suppressed-barrel/
  7. I saw BOC do that live at the Fox in the early 80’s. They had some guy in an oversize Godzilla suit who came on stage with the dry ice fog after what felt like a five minute introduction. Everyone was thinking WTF. Apparently their big Godzilla that was the size of Iron Maiden’s Eddie was on the fritz. So they used this guy as the stand in. But the guy in the suit had some serious moves! He was all over the stage, how he didn’t bust his ass was impressive. It was an absolutely fantastic show. Full disclosure….,I was really fucking high.
  8. You are spot on. Duval ain’t Anthony Hopkins, but he is a star.
  9. If that’s tongue in cheek disregard all this bullshit? HR is nothing more than an apparatus or extension of a company’s law department. The eyes and ears so to speak. Most employees incorrectly believe HR to be their friend, but that is not their job at all. Their job is pretty much to protect the company. Putting out small fires before they become big ones. If you found help in the process of a complaint, good deal. Chances are whatever your issue was, was detrimental to the company. Wage and hour on the other hand enforces wages, record keeping, overtime, David Bacon and The service contract act including the Fair labor standards act. Not to mention FMLA, garnishment of wages, polygraph testing, pretty much everything. And when there is an issue the letter you receive has United States of America vs whoever they are going after on the letterhead. It’s intimidating I don’t care who you are. Can you imagine such a group with oversight over all of college football? Including its athletic directors, chancellors, or board members. All one disgruntled player would have to do is go to their local federal building and file a complaint. And unlike the NCAA (DOL) wage and hour has subpoena power. Discovery would also be a hell of a story should it come into play.
  10. The minute football players are officially recognized as employees and the universities are recognized as employers the sport as we know it dies. I can just imagine wage and hour showing up at the local university.
  11. I notice when you get to disliking people they ain’t around long either Hell is coming to breakfast. Mr chain blue lighting. Fucking movie had so many great lines.
  12. I worked for Garrett Airesearch back in the 70’s. And I remember sitting around pondering the fact that Kelly Johnson and his skunkworks developed the SR-71 in the early 1960’s. Here we are half a century later and that airframe is still the gold standard.

    It is simply an award that outlived its usefulness.
  14. I used that green label Weller in place of Irish whiskey to make Irish coffee about a week ago simply because it was the closest bottle to me. Fuck me, I have been slamming them down every night since. I don’t know what it is about that particular sauce, but something really fucking special happens when mixed with strong coffee, heavy cream and brown sugar.
  15. Interesting, I thought it was just me. We have a nice place by the house that makes a great pie. But these days 2 slices and I’m good. I’m an old, but damn I used to be able to put pizza away.
  16. Is this real? I mean, under no circumstances should Vince and that idiot be going head to head on anything.
  17. It’s not that I’m scared of them, it’s that they have a vertical passing game, they can run and play defense well. A team will have to play well to beat them.
  18. The only way he gets in the NFL is by buying a ticket.
  19. Nah, I disagree. I have listened to the “eye test” bullshit for years. Texas would break foot off in the ass of all four teams currently playing. Washington presents a challenge, and we already beat Bama. Fuck that, give us a chance.
