    Why is laughing at someone because of their height socially acceptable?

    IDK, the jokes usually go right over their head?

    I would never laugh at a short guy for being short.  

    I laugh at a short guy that stands on a box (like Mr. Bowtie did a few days back).  I laugh at a short guy that wears lifts in his shoes (like DeSantis).  

    But a short guy that owns it?  No problemo. I never said shit about Spud Webb.

    No shit, You don't mess with a guy that can break both your ankles and then dunk on you.

    I used to coach baseball with a friend whose wife, Janet, named their three boys Jarrett, Jarrick, and Jarren. He always seemed a bit irritated that he had to emphasize the last syllable to get the correct boy’s attention.

    I self-censored one time on bad things happening to Ukrainians early on in the counteroffensive. It showed a group of Ukrainian soldiers splayed out in a patch of tall grass after they got caught in a minefield. An APC pulled up with some medics and others attempting to assist. One of them hopped out and stepped on a land mine. Another, while attempting to pull in an injured Ukrainian soldier, did the same. One of their legs fell off. It was heinous.

    I didn't post it necessarily out of not trying to show the Ukrainians in a bad light but because it was so fucking awful.

    I saw one I almost posted.  Dude got hit in the chest so hard his head popped off like a tank turret.  It wasn't a close up shot but just the idea of it was pretty horrific, but in a dark dark shaggy way.   I don't want anyone to die or be in pain, and I mean that, anyone.  But if there have to be deaths and pain, let it be on the folks responsible. (not sure Russian meat squads are those folks deserving of the grim death) but it is what it is.   Did not post it.

    The ones that seem to bother me the most are the drone drops on soldiers alone and already wounded in a ditch looking up at the little machine that will end them.  They looks so small, alone, and scared, you see the grenade drop, explode, and you see them writhe in pain then lie still.  Senseless death.

    Fuck Putin

    At least the Honduran equipment would be stored correctly. 

    Filled with blow?

    Guys, tell me about your rod & reel storage options. I have decided I have to get my rods out of the house and into the insulated barn room now that it's not too friggin' not. The tackle boxes are staying inside, but the rods are in the way in a room I'm trying to clear out to do other stuff in.

    I've been looking around for a lockable cabinet big enough for at least 8 rods or so. I don't have any over 7 1/2 feet. A slim design would be nice, just so I don't get my stuff ripped off, or at least make it not as easy. The door to the barn room has a regular lock, but it's not a very good one. Is there a good reasonably priced cabinet option out there that I haven't found yet?

    I have something like this in the garage

    also DIY options

    easy enough to run a cable through the bails of the reels.  I'd just put up a motion sensing camera or just not worry about it.

  5. Beamer breaks his own foot

    “I broke my foot on Saturday, so I’d rather just get it out there and say it and not have you all speculating and then after the game on Saturday in Missouri you ask,” Beamer said with a smile. “I called [athletic director Ray Tanner], told him, made sure he was OK with it and he died laughing when I told him so obviously there’s not a lot of empathy from him.”

    “It was after the game and certainly that was a gut-wrenching, emotional loss and I was frustrated and kicked something I shouldn’t have kicked and thought I was OK but the adrenaline from the game wore off and before anyone starts the narrative like, ‘the head football coach is frustrated and lost his poise and all that.’ No, I care. And I care about these kids and I was really upset on Saturday night because I didn’t do enough to help them get over the hump and win the football game. Don’t think I have to have surgery but there is a broken bone in my foot, it hurts like you-know-what but I’ve got to show toughness and fight through it. Been one of those years.”

    So Florida played and won the last of the games they should win. I think they’re staring down the barrel of 5 game losing streak. Maybe it’s enough to pry Mack loose and keep Robinson away from Sunbelt Billy. 

    It's gonna suck, but I think we win at least one more.   I think the bad news if you're hoping to poach recruits is that Florida is playing freshman everywhere.  While the W/Ls won't be awesome, Billy has proven he puts the best players out and PT is available...  along with the $$$

    Get some Scotish notes and watch everyone in London lose their shit when you try to pay with a RBS note

    Agreed with all above about cashless. I looked like a moron trying to pay with cash while everyone paid with card

    I had no idea that Scotland had its own version of the Pound.   I used an atm in the Hebrides and when I pulled the cash from the machine I thought that I had purchased some tourist bucks or the like.  Stepped back to make sure I was at a bank, yup.  Weird.

    I usually take out a $100 US equivalent from a local ATM for random tips and such.  I always use a local ATM and agree to never let the ATM do the conversion for you.

    When I am checking out of my hotel to leave I just take any left over cash and ask them to apply it to my hotel bill and charge the rest.  It worked out great when I won a bunch of AUS $s gambling when I was in Brisbane.

    Good idea, but I have rarely have more than $20 in foreign currency at the end of a trip, but If I ever have more I'm using your tip.  Love the weird coins, odd colored and sized bills.  When I get back to the house I unpack and place all the loose change and bills in a pile on a shelf.  If I'm going to a country I've been to before, I dig through the pile before I leave and have some local currency when I land.  It's kinda fun digging through the pile and remembering past trips and thinking about when you'll go next.  Hell you already have some cash laying around, can't let that go to waste.

    Turkish Lyra, Greek Drachmae ... RIP

  8. I'll tell you this much, if you're dealing with aussies and they say "no rules, mate!"  It's not a catchy Outback jingle, that mean watch your six, because they are about to try to fuck you over with a stupid little smile on their faces.

    My dislike for The Black Keys' music is strong to very strong.  I know nothing about the two guys, but that genre ain't for me.

    Fair enough,  I've stopped caring about what anyone thinks about what I like and I also return the favor.  I enjoy Black Keys a lot.   Whether or not they are technically proficient doesn't matter to me as long as it sounds good.  If they are the new Nickelback, so be it.  I was surprised to see @G650 reference that it's well know that they ripped off Jack White, I think their music sounds nothing alike.  Maybe it was egregious,  I don't know shit about music theory, structure, etc.   

    But it you played a White Strips/ Raconteurs/ Dead Weather song or a Black Keys song I could easily discern the difference.  

    White has some bangers, but if I could only ever hear one or the other again, I would choose Black keys every time.
