  1. Yeah, the Germans were PISSED at his assassination. They burned and/or leveled entire villages. I've read that the total number of deaths in connection with the reprisals exceeded 1,300, and included numerous women and children. Fucking Nazis . . .
  2. Great place to catch a game. Several years ago, my son and I went to the Texas-Cal game (shitty result -- thanks, Charlie), then stayed in Oakland and took the ferry the next day over to the ballpark for a Giants game. The boat docks right next to the stadium. It's an excellent way to get to the stadium if you're coming over from the East Bay -- no traffic, parking hassles, etc.
  3. How much did you pay for the drugs? Asking for a friend.
  4. Did some beef ribs on the Weber bullet on the 4th of July. Ran 250 for the first 1.5 hours, then up 275 degrees for most of the cook. Spiked up to 300 for a time in the 4th hour, and then back down when I adjusted the vents. Probably should have pulled them off about 20 minutes before I did. They were still juicy but just a little overcooked IMO. Only the 2nd time I've done beef ribs on that smoker, so not bad.
  5. 1. You're speculating that someone made him post the tweet about the "other schools." Maybe someone did. Maybe not. 2. When do you think you'll be able to recover from what he did? Later this week sometime? The end of the year? Never?
  6. Was thinking the same thing. It's possible. 18YO kids sometimes do stupid things. It's possible (even common) for a youngster to do something stupid, and then make amends a minute later, esp. if someone has hauled them over to the curb about their stupidity so to speak. Not sure what happened with Finley. Hopefully he realizes that some of his actions weren't appropriate.
  7. Yeah, that cap toss move wasn't cool. Hopefully someone got in his ear and/or face after he did it. But I still think it's relatively uncommon (and classy) for a recruit to post complimentary things about the schools he decided not to attend after the decision is made public.
  8. Hoping for the best for all you folks directly impacted by this disaster. Thank you, Bob Lives!, for your generosity in doubling our donations.
  9. Pretty classy move by that young man.
  10. That's how he got his nickname?? You're shitting me. (;o)
  11. They've got to think of a different nickname for Raleigh. "Big Dumper" just makes me think of dropping a deuce.
  12. Cubs with 8 dingers through 7 innings today.
  13. Yes, statements by Hugh Freeze about playing by the rules, esp. in recruiting, can be given 100% credit.
