  1. It's also a bit funny the "favors" he lists are reporting on the team and telling fans what time the game starts. Uh, the fact you sees that as a favor and not some basic shit your supposed "fan site" should already be doing is part of your problem.
  2. Lincoln looks like he just had a hell of an orgasm at the titter.
  3. Definitely check out the restaurant we ate at in Positano area. Michelin star on the Med. Seriously a top 5 day of my life. Also the restaurant in Capri was one of the best combo of view+food I've ever had. We told our waiter we were in the mood for a dry white wine that wasn't overly expensive, and he came back with a fantastic choice from Northern Italy that was like $25-30 for the bottle. Perhaps these places are a dime a dozen, but I would seek them out if I went back.
  4. Do you have a car? If you like hiking, Path of the Gods is a as good as it gets. We started in Bomerano, hiked to Nocelle, took the stairs down and had a 3 hour lunch at Il San Pietro di Positano, then hiked back. Packed some nicer clothes in my backpack and changed in the hotel bathrooms. Definitely got some looks when we arrived sweaty after a 3 hour hike, but after a change of clothes and rubbing some rosemary from their bushes on those clothes, I was good to go. Also had sex on the hike back in an abandoned barn of some sort, so good day all around. Seriously, I can't recommend the hike enough. We hired a boat in Amalfi to take us to Capri. I wish I had done more research ahead of time to find what to really do there, but we had a fantastic lunch at this place. Fresh seafood and good Italian wine looking at at Vesuvius? Yes please. Also got to swim in the Med on the way there and back. Speaking of Vesuvius, if you are even remotely interested in history, Pompeii is fascinating. Maybe it's too crowded this time of year, I don't know. But we went in late September and it was awesome. We had a car, so all of this was fairly easy.
  5. Exhibit #1736 why that dude is a fucking treasure
  6. Story was made even better when I scrolled up to see the username of who posted it.
  7. Except in this video it appears to me that there are traffic lights, and the driver had a green light. Lady running across the street was trying to do so with what I assume was a red light for pedestrians. The fact there there is no one else in the intersection would point to that as well. FAFO indeed.
  8. tough crowd. I chuckled.
  9. Jack Flack always escapes! Pretty sure I loved him in every movie i remeber him from. War Games, Tootsie, 9 to 5, C&D.
  10. It's funny 'cause he's fat
  11. I feel like people bag on Rome. Not here. Just in general. If you've never been to Italy, and you are even halfway interested in history, Rome is the most fascinating city on the planet. They have 2000 year old buildings on every block. The touristy shit is incredible. Forum, Coloseum, Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Vatican City, etc etc. And just stop in random places to rest and have a bottle of wine and a bite. The piazza by the Pantheon is a total tourist trap, but one of the best people-watching places I've ever been. I distinctly remember the red wine and pizza my wife and I had on our first trip. We spent an hour just basking in the sun and scenery. Food in Rome is underrated as well. Gelato and cacio e pepe will be staples for your kids. With 4 days in Rome, I might recommend doing a day trip to Pompei. Are you renting a car? It's a fairly easy drive, and it is amazing. Or save for your next trip. Because nobody can do Italy once. Do not skip seeing David in Florence. I'm not an arts guy, but that was the highlight of Florence to me. If you have 3 days, you have time to do a day trip to one of the Tuscan towns nearby. Never been to Venice. Jealous Nor Cinque Terre. But I have done Amalfi. Same trip as Pompei. God that was a great 5 days.
  12. 2010 Texas football reached the Top 10 and defeated a Top 10 team on the road. Man, what a successful season that was.
  13. Well that's fucked up

  15. If I did the math right, net inflows of ~15k cfs over a sustained 24hr period will lead to 29k acre feet of water. That's about 3% of Buchanan's capacity. So there could be some significant gains from this event.
  16. I always enjoyed the interviews with Hakeem after Rockets games. "We have to phocus!" Uh, what was that??
  17. I get the refund for bags arriving late, no wifi if you paid for it, etc. That's a service the airline failed due to some incompetence on their part. But refunding tickets if you're late or flight is cancelled? Surely there is some fine print around if it's due to airline being at fault. Bad weather delays and cancels flights all the time. I don't see how this does anything other than raise prices to cover the inevitable refunds. Maybe I'm missing something.

    Bob Seger

    Was trying to remember if Live Bullet was the record my dad used to play over and over that got me into Seger at an early age. But it was the other live album--Nine Tonight. That was like a Greatest Hits Live album, with a few new songs mixed it.
  19. It was definitely not personal that I busted out laughing that people lost their jobs. It was because I completely forgot they hired Trev Alberts as the freaking AD.
  20. Just tried mine on. Pants fit perfectly. Arm length on jacket is a tad short. Going to see if I can have that altered. I only need like 1/2 inch or so. If it can't be altered, it'll work. Wish I could double rep OP.
  21. Same here for Hays. Appraised value up 10%. "Market value" down 15%, but still 12% higher than appraised. So I assume I have 0% chance of winning any challenge. The market value seems to be pretty close to what I could sell it for.
  22. You think Robin Givens destroyed Mike Tyson's career? That's a take I guess
  23. I am in the Austin area and would love a name for a tailor. So in addition to the wedding in mid August (in SC) in which I need the tux, I just received a save the date for a wedding on August 31st in Austin. Was the surface of the sun already booked? I'm sure folks are going to love sacrificing Labor Day weekend and the first full weekend of college football to come to your wedding and sweat their balls off. And neither he nor his fiancé are from Texas, so their closest family and friends will all have to travel. At least this is local for me.
