  2. Bruce Springsteen ... any of his songs, but most particularly the absolute word salad that is Born to Run
  3. to buy his supplements? I can't imagine he'd have any real tacticool acumen.
  4. Duh! Otherwise it's a real bitch to monetize
  5. IDK, maybe they have a seakeeper? I bet a passenger could smoke a cigar in about a minute and a half. csb: My brother had a Glastron with Merc Lake X motor... I rode in that thing ONCE
  6. bonus points if you do it on his tv and maybe SAP too
  7. so much THIS After all the bragging about filing false police reports about "Lost all my guns in a fishing accident" or "they were all stollen"
  8. Yup, I've got 3 policies. At some point, this will become an issue that will force politicians to respond (fuck knows how that's going to go). But couple the rise in insurance cost with record high real-estate prices... that's gotta be a nut punch for potential new home sales. I don't know how kids out of college are going to afford to live. signed - dad with two kids in college
  9. Sound off! I knew a couple of crazy bastards who did this a lot. Always worked in groups of 3, two to shoot and one to defend. IIRC they would hunt off Palm Beach/Jupiter
  10. counterpoint: Tornados!
  11. Early summer is shark attack story time. If there is anything else going on in the news these types of sensational stories don't tend to get reported. These stories are place holders till hurricane season. When the hurricanes start spinning up the shark attack stories will magically disappear until next spring/early summer Bull Sharks are always nasty and aggressive But it's fair to mention that shitty ecological conditions ... Like heat induced deadzones and fish kills leave the sharks looking further and further from their normal sources of food. Don't believe me? google Recife shark attacks.
  12. #Clempsoning!

  14. I generally agree with this sentiment. 95% of the folks we interacted with were very kind and helpful. However, we did get to sample some good old fashion French arseholery. First night in Paris, climbing the common staircase to our 5th floor walk up apartment, we were vigorously, rudely, and hilariously questioned by a little angry old french dude. In a Monty Python type French accent he demanded to know what we were doing in the building?, who us let in?, and insisted that we leave at once! I calmly told him that we rented an apartment on Airbnb and showed him the key to the unit. He flew into a rage and demanded to know the surname of the apartment owner. I told him I didn't know, because I rented it on airbnb. He then called me liar and physically blocked the stair case. Then he demanded to know how much I paid... at this point the novelty was wearing off and I told him I didn't remember and that he could just look it up himself. After 5 mins of back and forth he relented and went back in his apartment. When we checked out I let the owner know of the incident, and his response was, oh he knows it's for rent and I've spoken to him about it many many times. Another time the wife and I were walking back from the Arc' Triumph and wanted some lunch... looked on google maps and found a nice looking café on the walk back. It was just after lunch and we walked up to the almost empty café and in french I said bonjour and asked for a table for two. In English, and dripping with sarcasm, the man asked if I had a reservation. This was a simple café, and not particularly expensive or fancy, just a plain ass café. I looked at all the empty tables both inside and out and said in English that I didn't. He said they were fully booked and good bye. Could be true, but not likely based on his attitude, smirk, and the metric buttload of empty tables.
  15. Because climate change is even making the old grifty model of milking premiums during the quiet years and going bankrupt in bad years untenable. Cost of building (rebuilding is sky high) Insurance fraud or GASP! homeowners suing insurance companies to honor their policies
  16. Cool birds... the bayou makes a good home for them. I see them in my neighborhood regularly. We have small land crabs and you see them hunting early in the morning. A couple of days ago, at a nearby state park, we saw one absolutely demolishing a land crab the size of a brick. The crab was trying to get away, but the little heron would just hop around, grab the crab and slam it down. It was a lot more violent/athletic than you would expect out a sleek looking bird. Very much a predator.
