  1. CSB Waaay back in the day, I was boarded on a UAL from LAX to HNL, sitting at the gate. They announce that they are holding the flight for connections from Denver. I am in 3B or so, not minding the wait due to the upgrade. There's a blonde bimbo behind me squealing on and on 'oh they're holding the flight for my baby, please hold the flight for my baby, my baby needs to get on' I'm not exaggerating, that's almost verbatim. I feel bad for her, thinking it's her kid, of course she's gonna be worried. So we sit there for like 45 minutes, and finally one guy gets on from the Denver flight. It's Pat Bowlen, owner of the Broncos. Bimbo squeals "there's my baby, there's my baby!" So yeah I'm pretty sure the flight was held just for him.
  2. Well yeah, the kids, teachers, and staff all have drills on what to do when something like this happens. The cops? Not so much.
  3. Who's the obese guy in the walker who calls Beto a sick son of bitch?
  4. This PC is such a farce. We won't mention guns. Think of the children! It's a mental health issue! Thoughts and prayers! It's not political! Good on Beto for standing up. He's not a tough guy but I bet he'd kick Cruz' and Goeb's ass in a minute.
  5. They are there to kill all the gophers.
  6. He's saying the quiet part out loud, but everyone has known the quiet part forever...or at least since 1979. I'd be hard pressed to name any elected official on Capitol Hill that knows more about China and Taiwan than him. Heck, he was on the Foreign Relations Committee when One China and the Taiwan Relations Act were drafted in 1979.
  7. My favorites are the ones with obviously shortened/anglicized names.
  8. csb - I have a dash cam and very similar thing happened to me. Kid pulled out in front of me trying to make a left. I swerved to avoid, hit the median and f'd my front end all up. No collision with the kid's car. To the kid's credit (or dumbassery) he stopped. A car behind me also stopped and said they saw the whole thing and would tell the cops so. Cop shows up, talks to the kid, talks to witness, assigns blame to the kid in his report. I call the kid's insurance company and of course they give me the insurance company runaround. "Yes sir, we have the police report and know the cop assigned blame but until we talk to our insured, we ain't gonna do a gotdamn thing and he has 30 days to respond to us." I send them the dash cam video and they immediately say "yeah OK we'll pay for all the repairs." Tl; dr: get a dashcam. Also, don't tell anyone you have the video until you actually see it yourself. There were a couple of minor details that I remembered wrong.
  9. he's coming out for the 8th.
  10. Wouldn't workman's comp pay off at least several hundred K if not a mil or more? I haven't seen a workman's comp policy in a bit, but I sure seem to remember that the limits were in the millions. Jeep owner must have deep pockets. There's a sentence you don't hear often. 😆
  11. Is this finally the end of yag si op?
  12. People who schedule unnecessary meetings, then don't get the hint when no one shows up.
  13. Yeah but all those profits will trickle down to the masses and all will be well.
  14. Why are they all single termers and why is there a 4 year gap between each of them?
  15. Ozzy solo. Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman and Speak of the Devil, or if you wanna leave Speak of the Devil out because it's a live album, Bark at the Moon fills in nicely. Speak of the Devil had some hieroglyphic type writing around it, I smoked a big joint and decoded it. Something about Randy Rhoads tragic death and Ozzy really didn't want to talk about it anymore.
  16. speaking of lousy restaurants. You'd think someplace with "wings" in their name would have good wings.
  17. I don't know anyone, especially Dodger fans, who think Roberts is genius.
  18. I thought it was reported that he had a heart attack back in early March? He disappeared for a couple of weeks, then just reappeared with no explanation. Now he's had another heart attack? Who is he, Fred Sanford?
  19. It's April, not October.
  20. aaand Twinkies get a hit.
  21. Perfect through 7, 80 pitches, 13 k's and he's coming out.
  22. If he stays perfect I think he stays in. If he gives up a hit, comes out. The only question for me is, if someone gets on by means other than a hit. He's had a nono before but not a perfect game. The way he's going I don't see him walking anyone or HBP but an E might be possible.
