  1. Trying to keep my expectations tempered, but this team is starting to seem very 2005-ish to me.
  2. Some genuine wisdom on this page. Great to see so much love for dried chiles and the humble bean.
  3. Sad but true. He gets re-concussed so easily now. This time, it was running into a defensive back's arm that knocked him out. Tua should consider hanging it up. And the Dolphins should have to pay his full salary. Remember that game two or three years ago, where he got knocked stupid and was obviously concussed but Miami kept him out there? Yeah, fuck that franchise. Dude is tough but he's not going to be able to remember his name in a couple of more years at this rate.
  4. Pray for her that Bret never insists on missionary.
  5. It’s almost like some people are actually rooting for that to happen If someone told me there were two more passive-aggressive pussies on this board than the two of you, I wouldn't believe it.
  6. Bullshit. You'd obviously do the blind, old lady, too.
  7. Yeah, that was what I was searching for, but I found the other video first and got lazy. There was an episode of "Good Eats" several years ago that learned me on making French omelets. Can't find the video anywhere but Alton does have a step-by-step page available. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/perfect-omelet-recipe/how-to-make-an-omelet-like-alton-brown
  8. You're more bosomy than I remembered.
  9. Yeah, but once upon a time, A.D. made rolls of cash washing cars ... and he didn't even have to show up or wash a single car!
  10. Lulz @ "Muskification of stupidity." This needs to become part of our contemporary lexicon.
  11. At last, Raygun is No.1. https://sports.yahoo.com/viral-olympic-breaker-raygun-now-ranked-no-1-in-the-world-after-bombing-in-paris-150657526.html
  12. Zepol is a cool dude, and I believe the reason he said "wrong again" is because he's not white.
  13. I think all of this is extremely naive, like something one would tell oneself to rationalize rooting for, and possibly even enjoying, watching people you've never met die. Westerners like to believe the average Russian has a choice because we have the luxury to think that way ... because we do have choice. The average Russian does not, has not, will not. And what few on this board seem to realize--and probably fewer would admit--is that 99 percent of us would do no differently than those Russians if we were in their shoes and grew up in the same situation. We would be that poor idiot, spending the final desperate seconds of his life frantically evading a drone as it bore down upon him only to disappear in a puff of smoke and then reappear, body motionless and limbs askew. My intention here is not to insult or embarrass you, but to point out that many of the Russians you see dying in those videos are just as much victims as the Ukrainian citizens and soldiers. They are merely pawns in some demented despot's lust for power and real estate. It is one thing to recognize their deaths as unavoidable casualties if those deaths ultimately help stop Putin and preserve Ukraine's freedom. But it's another thing entirely to deceive yourself into thinking that having those deaths broadcast on a social media platform for all the Western World to laugh at was in any way their choice ... or that you would have somehow acted any nobler.
  14. Whoa, whoa, whoa! You can't swear at my fiancée!
  15. I post on Surly, so the answer is obviously no.
  16. I see the above video as a net win for humanity--one less Cybertruck and one less awful plastic picket fence. it is unfortunate that there wasn't an eggplant garden adjacent to the fence. However, I have doubts whether the Cybertruck would've been able maintain enough momentum to plow through it given its questionable "off road" capabilities.
  17. Nothing to see here. Domoarigatomisteroboto was a stupid name for an airport, anyway.
  18. Having watched hundreds of interviews of people under the influence, it is uncanny how often that is true.
  19. If you'll forgive me, I am compelled to summarize the logic a few others are using and then apply some words you once shared with my friend, a certain bombardier of ill repute. ------------------------------------------------ At a routine traffic stop, a civilian stupidly and needlessly disrespects law enforcement, going so far as to ignore them. Cops manhandle and cuff civilian in response. Observers admit that cops exceeded their authority and did not go about their duties in an appropriate or possibly even lawful manner. Yet the same observers place the bulk of the blame on the civilian for not behaving meekly. ------------------------------------------------ "That's some catch, that Catch 22." "It's the best there is."
