  1. I'm not confused as to the cause of the cluster fuck. I had nothing to do with the decision. I was drafted to help with the cleanup.
  2. Went to Singapore for 2 weeks during a disastrous SAP transition about 15 years ago. Lived at the warehouse from 7am-10pm every day. For lunch, I ate with the warehouse workers who got a non-descript rice, veggie, chicken/pork/shrimp lunch everyday. It was glorious. All of the Americans traveling with me insisted on McDonalds. Mc-fucking-Donalds. Had one of the warehouse managers tell me on the first day that they didn't buy enough of the rice lunches for me, so I handed him a S$100 bill and said I would need him to include me in his lunch purchase every day I was there. That ended up being a fun trip. The days sucked, but I would leave work and hang out at one of the all-night hawker villages for a couple of hours drinking Tiger beer, eating local food. and people watching. 5-6 hours of sleep every night, followed by a long day at the warehouse, and a few peaceful hours by myself at the hawkers stand with my Tiger, satay, gai lon, and murtabak. Rinse, wash, repeat.
  3. I don't know if I've seen that point written. It was understood, but the way you wrote it makes one just shake their head.
  4. I don't think they ever actually got divorced. The $1.2mm doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Aside from his 10+ years being the star of his own TV shows, he's written like 10 books. He's been famous for a long time. I know he's stated he's terrible with money and didn't save anything until his mid-40's, but that was more than 15 years ago. I wonder if he has been putting money away in a family trust, or in his daughter's name, or something that isn't visible when he dies because it's not his money to distribute.
  5. I don't function in the morning without a bowl of cereal with berries on top and a glass of OJ. In the summer, nothing beats a 50/50 mix of Wheat Chex and plain Life, topped with blueberries and a ripe peach. I prefer 1% milk with it. Other times I like Frosted mini-wheats, topped with whatever berries are in season. And lots of them.

  7. Let go of my purse!!
  8. So was riding a bike on a track. She deserved to get hit.
  9. What is brown and sticky? What do you call a camel with 3 humps?
  10. Celebrated with my dad at ABGB on Saturday at lunch. Had a fantastic pulled pork sandwich and a couple of beers. Sunday night I cooked burgers. Garlic peppercorn burger from HEB cooked over combo of oak lump and hickory chunks. Topped with caramelized onions and slice of Swiss for the last minute on the grill. Toasted an onion roll and dressed with whole grain mustard, guacamole, and some greens. On the side were some tots and hushpuppies.
  11. Not really all that curious. You misquoted. The quote is: "Shared what they want the university to know" And if you watch the video, the answer is "they messed with the wrong girls. I'm not letting it go."
  12. I really have no idea why this video stuck with me, maybe because it was on MTV 30 times a day, or maybe because the effects were absolutely horrible. But when I think 80's videos, this is the one that jumps to the front.
  13. Neither. Adding a bunch of refried beans is a good way to end up with soggy nachos. I prefer a crisp chip with the simple gooiness from the cheese and heat from the jalapeno.
  14. Not sure about restaurants, but I'm a minimalist when it comes to nachos. Chips. Cheese. Jalapenos. Layer it and pop in the oven
  15. I would have to think they wouldn't have called it a definitive suicide if he was found with his pants at his ankles and a rope around his neck.
  16. According to this page: https://texassports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5134 Taylor started all 12 games as a Sr and 11 games as a Jr. Not defending giving him a scholarship, but apparently he was the best option we had at center his last 2 years here.
  17. I would have thought their skin actually thinned when stretched like that

    Father's Day 2018

    Hopefully a kitchen pass to go out to Flat Creek Crossing Ranch for a good ride followed by a nap, sex, and beer. And then maybe I'll cook some burgers and finish with a couple hours of mindless TV before I fall asleep. That would be a pretty good day.
  19. Like a boss. Why didn't she take a picture of the dude and put his face and micro-dick on blast?
  20. I started telling my oldest from the age of 3 that he should assume every other driver on the road is not paying attention and is stupid. If he drives a car with those 2 assumptions, he'll be alright.
  21. Worked a Burger King ad campaign into a McD article, and typed the phrase "extra squirt of special sauce"--all in one sentence. Well done. As for the lawsuit, this is beyond retarded and the lawyers should be shot.
  22. Stove-top popcorn was the first thing that came to mind. Other than that, I'm a big fan of homemade butter. Shake some cream, scrape out the butter, and add some salt. Super easy. I also enjoy homemade flour tortillas over just about anything you can find at the grocery store. And for that matter homemade bread is the fucking bomb, especially focaccia.
  23. The first line of the story goes well with the OP's avatar of a girl who looks like she's taking a picture of her tits against her will.
  24. I'm 41 so quite a bit away from retirement, but I'm watching opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to my parents vs in-laws. My parents: My dad retired at age 55 back in 2001. Never had a concern about being bored and hasn't had an issue with it. But he and my mom stay active. My dad golfs 1x a week, goes flying 1x a week, they take 2-3 fairly good vacations per year (minimum 2 weeks), they go out to eat with friends a few times a month, they have grandkids in Houston they go visit, and I have 3 kids they babysit a couple times a month. They also try to go out to Town Lake a couple times a week to go for a walk than out to eat somewhere. Up until 2 years ago, they had a boat on Lake Austin, and they'd just go out cruisin' during slow hours during the week. And my dad reads a ton, and always has, and that hasn't slowed down at all. They've had a great retirement and he hasn't thought twice about it or even halfway considered taking a part-time job. My in-laws: My FIL is a 71 year-old OB-GYN and will die at the hospital. He took an Administration job at his hospital a few years ago (in addition to running his own practice) and the hours have just about killed him. He "resigned" from that position a few months ago to be effective June 1, but unbeknownst to the family until 2 weeks ago, he rescinded that resignation. So he's going to keep working 14 hour days for the next 2 years until his contract expires, and then he'll be back to just his one job running his practice. The family is completely bitter over the whole thing since he was absent for every major event when his kids were growing up, and now history is repeating itself with his 7 grandkids (#8 on the way). The problem is when I step back and look at him, he doesn't have any real hobbies. He likes fixing things, and I'm sure he could stay busy for a few months getting things done around the house, but eventually the work dries up. My guess is he's scared to death of not working. Being a doctor is about the only thing he truly loves doing, his patients love him, he can't stand spending time with his wife--so he figures, "why retire".
