  1. We have an hallway closet my wife calls "the gift closet". When we had our first child 9 years ago, she decided it would be a good idea to buy about 20 presents for various ages and both genders because of all of the birthday parties we were going to be invited to, and "this will just be easier than having to worry about buying a present each time." We have 3 boys now, have been to countless birthday parties, and I can think of exactly one present that has been used. Every time I suggest using a gift from the closet, there some reason why it won't work. It's been 9 years, and we literally still have those same presents she bought all those years ago.
  2. I think Jesus Moose is a more likely explanation
  3. Best beer I ever drank for me has 2 entries. Well, more like most memorable. 1. 20 years ago I went fishing in Alaska in a remote location (i.e. float plane in, "see ya in 6 days", float plane out) with a buddy of mine. We packed some whiskey, but the weight restrictions didn't make loading up 6 days worth of beer feasible. It was a great trip, but exhausting, and we were stuck for an extra day due to weather. We got back to Ketchikan and took the best shower of my life, then went to a local spot for some fried halibut sandwiches and about the coldest, most refreshing beer of my life. I have no idea what it was, and it really didn't matter. Something hoppy. 2. 5-6 years ago went skiing with a different buddy. Had a great day, very few breaks, and we were freaking worn out. We went into a local pizza joint and they had Pliny the Elder on tap. I had never had it, but had heard of it. That first sip was magnificent. Not just the taste of the beer, but the shot of adrenaline it gave me. We camped out for about 3 hours and got shit-can hammered and ate an entire pizza each.
  4. And he's from Plano. Chance to play close to home for 2 years while getting a masters.
  5. I can't help but laugh. I mean, we've all been there, but it's still funny. I hope you got yourself a slumpbuster this week.
  6. I had to watch the video again, and I just noticed the brilliance of you specifying diet cola. Fucking LOL
  7. Dickbutt chiseled by Michelangelo would be fucking awesome
  8. Wanna grab a bite?
  9. He's made an NFL roster for 3 years and has a shot at more. After never having played the position. Hardly an indictment on his TE abilities. More of an indictment on Mack and Charlie's QB roster management and ability to maximize someone's value.
  10. I remember Henry Shelton, but not any Melton.
  11. Because it makes no sense. Even as a joke.
  12. I don't get why that is a crazy stat. There are several thousand tigers in the wild. Am I missing a joke?
  13. True. And I went back and looked at the stat. 97% of the players that stayed 4 years received their degree. I assume it's worded like that because there were some transfers along the way. Iverson was his first player to declare early for the NBA draft.
  14. LOL. Literally every move he made, other than the multiple draft picks, free agent signings, and successful trades you cited that set up an NBA Championship and 6 straight conference finals.
  15. I just went and found the box score. 211 total shots taken in 45 minutes. That's one shot every 12.8 seconds. Holy shit
  16. 1990 was also the year of LMU vs LSU. 148-141 LSU win in overtime. I used to have this game on VHS and would pop it in every now and then to watch.
  17. I know us Texas fans have a huge "what if" around Colt going down, but man, we've got nothing on Hoya fans. 1982 featured the errant pass to James Worthy with the Hoyas down 1 and with only something like 20 seconds left. Who knows if they make the shot, but they gift-wrapped that win for Dean's 1st NT. And BTW, Dean's 2nd and last NT was helped by Chris Webber's "time out". In 1985, it took probably the closest we're ever seen to a "perfect game" on a basketball floor by Villanova to deny Georgetown b2b titles. The fact that 1985 was Thompson's last Final Four trip is what amazes me.
  18. He had a hell of a 12-15 year run from the early 80's to the Iverson/Harrington teams. Always liked watching them play, although I'm not sure I particularly rooted for them. I read something this morning that said 97% of his players stayed for 4 years and graduated. Much respect.
  19. LOL at the current person in 1st place in her group doesn't really look like she even works out--she just has big tits.
  20. After googling "Bulletproof song", it turns out there is a song by that name, that also happens to be the song playing in the video above. The audio on the video isn't all that good, but the lyrics being played say "this time maybe I'll be bulletproof".
  21. No shit. Sub a Shepherd mix for your your lab and it's my story, too. Except he was throwing up and having explosive diarrhea at the same time. Real fun.
  22. I work at AMD. I have for a long time. The fortune I've left on the table makes me sick. 20-30% swings in 2 weeks was a way of life for years and years. I've certainly made out pretty well in the past 2 years, selling years of stock grants at $30, $40, $50, and earlier this week sold at $80. But about 4 years ago, when the stock was still in the $2.50 range, I was ready to pull the trigger on 20k shares in my own personal investment account. I talked myself out of it because I know our internal roadmaps and I knew about a pretty major announcement that was going to be made that I knew would make the stock jump quickly. Even though my plan was for a long-term play due to what I knew was finally going to be a successful product lineup, my conscience told me it wasn't ok. The only thing that allows me to sleep at night is the knowledge that I probably would have sold those shares when they with $10 anyway.
  23. What about Pedernales Falls? Is there any water there this time of year? I know you need to reserve day passes, but curious if it's even worth the trip.
  24. why? edit: nevermind, i'm a dumbass
