  1. Just pull around to police HQ and start laying on the horn. That's a good way for the driver to get shot and the homeless dude gets an apology from the city for having to go through the trauma.
  2. Unless you are a Mormon husband and knows the secret password for your wife (and she doesn't) to get into heaven, polygamy and open marriages usually don't work in the long term. My thinking on this. If I want to bang other women, and my wife wants to bang other men, then what the fuck is the point in my staying married and putting up with her bullshit. I'd rather get divorced, bang other women and not have to put up with her or any other woman's shit.
  3. I’m talkin’ about sex, boy. I’m talkin about l’amour. I’m talkin’ me and Dot is swingers, as in to swing. I’m talkin’ what they call nowadays an open marriage….
  4. Watson during this whole ordeal.
  5. Wow. What a shitshow! The Interim City Manager couldn't see what a horrific idea this was. How fucking out of touch can he be? Or rather, how bad is our relationship with APD that he thought hiring Art to negotiate the new APD deal would be a good thing? And now he's allowing Art to turn down the job to save Art the embarrassment.
  6. He'll fire himself after his numerous inappropriate relationships allegations. But I'll love him until that happens.
  7. Demark and Breck have one, why not Austin? Instagram worthy pics coming to Pease Park. https://www.texasmonthly.com/travel/giant-thomas-dambo-troll-austin-pease-park/ These days, Texans are more likely to encounter trolls on the internet (or at the Capitol) than in a forest or under a bridge. But starting this March, they’ll have a chance to meet the oversized, folkloric kind in Austin’s Pease Park. Since 2013, Danish artist Thomas Dambo has turned discarded pallets, scrap lumber, and twigs into more than 120 enormous wooden trolls that lurk in parks around the globe. Actually, “lurk” isn’t the best word—these giants are the gentle sort, with friendly faces and Scandinavian charm that have earned them a cult following. The Austin sculpture is Dambo’s first Texas troll, and it’ll occupy a wooded alcove in Pease Park, just northwest of downtown. The troll will occupy a secluded spot north of the Kingsbury Commons section of the 84-acre public green space. The conservancy worked with city officials to make sure the sculpture, which will remain at the site for at least fifteen years, will have minimal environmental impact. “It’s in a part of the park that gets a lot of use already,” Netherton said. Funding for the project, which is expected to cost about $350,000, comes solely from private donors. Among them are philanthropists and longtime Austin residents Lynne Dobson and Greg Wooldridge, whose Tejemos Foundation helped pay for a popular tree house at Pease Park. Dobson and Wooldridge proposed bringing a troll to Austin after seeing five of Dambo’s creations at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine, in August 2022. “I went, ‘Okay, this has to be at Pease,’ ” Dobson said. “This troll has Austin’s personality and playfulness, and we need whimsy and delight in our lives right now.” Approval to build the sculpture came after an extensive community engagement and review process with the city. But not everyone appreciates Dambo’s trolls, or the crowds they draw. In 2018, a fifteen-foot Dambo troll named Isak Heartstone, built in Breckenridge, Colorado, created a stir when visitors began streaming into the area to snap pictures with the art. Locals complained about traffic and trash. The troll was eventually dismantled (the photos of his decapitation aren’t for the faint of heart) and, happily, reassembled at a permanent home on a trail near the town’s welcome center. Before approving the Austin project, the conservancy gathered public input from around 1,500 survey respondents. About 85 percent of the feedback was supportive, but a few folks argued that Austin is no place for a Nordic troll. “Shoal Creek is not troll habitat,” read one comment on the conservancy’s Facebook page. “Texas has no cultural tradition of trolls. It makes no sense to plop a troll into Pease Park,” wrote another skeptic, adding that “Pease Park is not a Danish forest.” Others argued that money used to fly Dambo to Austin could be better spent to support local artists struggling to afford the city’s high cost of living.
  8. Can he stroke your putter?
  9. You made your expert opinion and rated it a miss by Sark because you saw a few pictures on the internet? You didn't watch any of his play. You didn't see his PFF grades. Do you have a weekly recruiting newsletter that I can avoid?
  10. BOB was taken by tOSU. - probably.
  11. Serious questions. Why are they taking so much bread? Most of their takes probably weren't on any top 20 football programs' radar. Is it because they don't have money to get the higher profile, better players? I know they are offering, just not landing any. Are their donors really that pissed at throwing away $150M dollars to Jimbo? Does Elko truly believe that he can win with these dudes? Is he just filling the roster with warm bodies hoping to upset a few teams here and there to sell next years HS recruits and portal players that they are building something? If that's the case, he's going to run off all the bread from this class?
  12. I tried turning on friends and some of my daughters male friends to Surly and other fan boards. They just don't like it. May be just my small circle of people. Some people, most of the younger generation, do not have the patience to scroll through pages of posts to keep up with discussions. If you miss a day or two, then there's 2-10 pages, depending on the thread, of reading to get caught up. They want that shit in concise, 30 seconds readable summaries. Blame the internet for ADHD. The banter doesn't appeal to them.
  13. Quick! Everyone please open your refrigerator and check to see if there's an egg missing in the carton.
  14. Republicans...they hate themselves some socialism, except when it benefits them. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/stauber-touts-duluth-bridge-funding-despite-vote-against-infrastructure-bill A press release from Stauber's office states the Congressman has "consistently advocated for these funds, sending several letters to the Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden." However, Stauber joined the majority of House Republicans in voting against the bipartisan infrastructure bill in November 2021. The Blatnik Bridge courtesy of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. "Guys, who's gonna tell Pete Stauber he voted against this bridge?" Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan tweeted. Walz also criticized Stauber for his statement, writing: "Oh boy. I hate to talk politics when there's good news to celebrate but this is too brazen to ignore." "Mr. Stauber voted against every screw, steel beam, and concrete pier in this bridge," Walz claimed. "Luckily [President Joe Biden] worked with Stauber's colleagues and got it done without him. Thanks, Joe!" Monday's incident is not the first time House Republicans have drawn criticism for touting projects funded by the infrastructure package they opposed. NBC News last year reported Stauber had promoted grants the bill provided to airports in northeastern Minnesota, "even though he said in November that voting for the infrastructure package would pave 'a destructive and irreversible path towards socialism.'"
  15. "People treat me like the traitor that I am! Stahp!"
  16. I play 2-3 rounds per week. I'm not trying to get on tour or win tourneys. One pack of Costco gloves usually lasts me a year. The last problem with my game is my glove.
  17. Art at least you didn't get raped Acevedo, Don't charge anyone DA Jose Garza, dipshit homeless have more rights than citizens Gerg Casar, and Fitlump... WTF is wrong with the "leadership" in this city?
  18. lulz.
  19. Did we hire Bjork? Cause this feels like we hired Bjork.
  20. Bjork already has his replacement in mind.
  21. Michigan winning the NC has tOSU really, really fucked in the head. These are some true WTF hires. Of all the ADs, they thought Bjork was the one for them. Of all the motherfucking OCs on this Earth, they hired BOB. Holy fucking shit. I mean, shit, they need to hire Charlie Strong for DC to make it a total fucking disaster.
  22. Why does he want to make golf even harder? Only weird dude I've ever got randomly paired with is a dude who had a right handed and left handed putter in his 14 club bag. Inside 10 feet, he putts with whatever handed club allows the ball to break away from him. Inside 10, if it's left to right break, he'll putt right handed. Inside 10, if it's right to left, he putts left landed. He claims that he sees the line better with it breaking away from him. Anything over 10 and straight line putts inside 10, and he is a right handed putter. I don't think he made any 6-10' putts so I'm not sure it was working out all that well for him. Golf is all between the ears.
