oh yeah, forgot about the student sections. They were packed before the game, such a huge change. Also before the team came out they put smoke in the tunnel, and bevo led the team out.

My whole family used to be addicted to Zoo Tycoon. This was back in the early part of the millennium, when games came on CD-ROMs. Anyway, we'd build a great zoo, everyone loved it, the game was going

I dunno man, I'd apologize for the GD word. We don't even like typing it out here, opting for Gotdammit.

Aside, twice I've been asked to take off my cowboy hat. Obliged once when the request was polite, said fuck you the time it was not, esp. since that was two rows back. Bitch called the usher who declined to do anything.

 

What say the shag on stowing my cowboy hat?

If GD offends you then you probably shouldn't be at the sugar bowl

Can the docs fix you up?  Prayers for getting through that! 

I guess, they cut a big chunk out of my forehead back on May 5th to be biopsied, which is where today's results came from. I have a follow-up Friday for further evaluation and then are going to send me to their specialist in Tyler Texas. From what I've read it very rarely metastasizes or is problematic and is the most common type of skin cancer so hopefully they've got their act together on how to treat it.

So from what I've read and heard everything should be okie dokie. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

I don’t wear mine to many home games, but I damn sure have never had anybody ask me to take it off.

I wear a cowboy hat when I am on my tractor to keep the sun off my face and neck.

Are there unwritten rules on cowboy hats I am unaware of? Do explain because your reasoning of wearing a cowboy hat is nothing short of retarded.

To me the "rules" are only based on style

I wear mine at the beach or if I'm going to be outside doing yard work or drinking and cooking. I'm not even a urban cowboy or a wanna be, I'm just a beach bum. My grandpa from the Netherlands lives in an apartment and has no land and wears his all the time lol, it's useful.

I think most of its overblown. The reason people don't go is because as the product at home has simultaneously gotten better (HD and in some cases 4k both with the yellow line vs w/e it was when Fitz played, great beer has become cheaper and more accessible, and multicasting support for games (being able to watch a second game PiP and switch to it on command is amazing)) while the product live has gotten worse (more stupid breaks in the game to honor xyz company for giving 10k, play some stupid sponsored game, announce some sponsored message, give away sponsored prizes, etc.; more price gouging on food, beer, and parking; and more regulation on tailgating and sneaking alcohol in(mitigated by teams finally getting some sense and selling beer)). The answer is to exactly what CDC did and why I'm a season ticket holder.

Follow up:

Had the carcinoma removed Monday and the doctor was confident he got all of it.  I darned sure hope so, I didn't know I was going to wind up with a 2 1/2" incision in my forehead. Other than it being more painful than I expected, everything went well.
