  1. Past hour
  2. So this kid Kissel scored the winner in this game to win the national title. And tonight he just scored at the start of stoppage time to put Vermont Green FC up 2-1 on Ballard FC out of Seattle to potentially just win the USL2 title.
  3. Sigh, what exactly did we do now?
  4. Kind of LOL. I mean it's soooort of try but moreso in the summer. Plus we do get a lot of tourists. https://www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/article/no-one-works-in-austin-texas-20797657.php "If I go anywhere downtown during anytime of the day, it's always busy and I'm just always thinking to myself what do these people do for work? I'm so curious," @kodakkammer said. "...I love Austin. This city never works but does sleep."
  5. I thought it was fitting that every single one of his big deadline acquisitions played a huge role in the collapse yesterday.
  6. Daily Wire is making wholesome kids media. Is everybody cool with Ben Shapiro getting a subsidy too?
  7. So did you not ring the bell on the way out the door? Makes the captain and crew sad not to hear their work appreciated.
  8. What an awful fucking effort by #2 there.
  9. If Tua’s brain had a sock this thread is right on track.
  10. Rando thoughts about last our last trip, etc ... - June used to be our go-to month for Isla, but the sargassum is really putting a kink in that. None in May when we were there. Not too bad in June most days afaik, and seems ok now. - Re: trusting the locals more than Murcans, absolutely this. 100%. We've been taking our boys to IM since they were babies, and we feel safer with them there than most places in the US, even in Austin. Of course you always wanna be careful, and I tend to be pretty wary with my cash & belongings, esp at the beach ... BUT, in at least 20+ stays of 4 to 10 nights on IM, we've never had a single thing stolen. We leave the hotel unlocked all day when we're on PN and really only lock it when we all leave at night. Never had a single thing go missing, even with maintenance, maids, etc coming and going while we're out, etc. We leave money, speakers, water bottles, backpacks etc on our beach chairs with no problems. Leave stuff in the cart when we're out, etc. All good. (yeah we've definitely gotten a lot more relaxed there over the years. ) - Re: the whalesharks. Yep. It's awesome, awesome, awesome. But we haven't been since 3 or 4 years ago when, for the first time for us, it was super crowded with boats. Too crowded imho, for the fish and for the people. I've heard rumblings that they may start trying to regulate it more to keep the crowds sizes down and the people and sharks safe. I can't really argue with that. - Just fyi we heard about a little, uh, altercation while we were there. First I can remember hearing. Dude from Texas got his ass kicked pretty bad by two 'locals' & woke up in the hospital. His friends said that he said he just went for a walk and these two dudes jumped him. It was out on the east side waterfront area adjacent to the square, up the hill from the hoops court. He said it was unprovoked, but according to other witnesses, he was talking a lot of shit to some guys on Hidalgo not long before it happened. I also wonder why he was walking in that dark area that nobody really goes to at night. We were told by some actual locals that the guys who did it were new to the island and were bad guys, heavy drug users, etc. They said covid brought a lot of people to the island from the mainland, looking for work, and that some of them aren't the best people to have around. They are not impressed. As for myself, during that May trip I had probably the only negative interaction I've ever had with a local. Some of y'all may have seen him guy on Hidalgo, kinda jacked, with jailhouse tats all over. On his face, everywhere. I saw him every single time we went down Hidalgo on this trip, day or night. Offered me pot. I said no. Then he doubled down, "What, I bet you want cocaine? I got it." Me: Nope. Gracias. "You want crack? I got fentanyl, too". Me: 'No. Thanks'. I'm tryna move on but he kinda had me backed into a corner by the store I was coming out of, and really close-talking me, not in a friendly way. Finally, getting more and more in my face, he says "Oh you want a girl? Or a boy? I got little boys". By this point I'm starting to show my irritation, but not wanting to give the obvious ex-con who seemed pretty fucked up atm a reason to lose his shit. Me: "I said no", and I gtfo. I love Isla and Mx, and I love the people, and they seem to love me back, but that dude is literally scary af. He has the kind of ojos locos you rarely see. I just stayed away from him the rest of the trip. - @Wally Pryor, thanks for the rec on the Doc! I'll have to keep that in mind. Getting old sucks. - Man, the 'indoor' soccer seems to be getting even better there, or maybe we were just lucky and went on the right nights this time. They were killin it. We missed baseball again, got dammit. Normally they play on Sundays, but this year we were there during the big fishing tournament, and pretty much nothing else happens that day (Sunday). We always get a cart & go exploring, esp at night. We always find new stuff we've never seen before, which is crazy on an island that size that we've been to so many times. Re: Beach clubs, we always do at least one day at Kin Ha or Castillo de Garrafon. Usuall Kin Ha, these days. There's more for the boys to do there. We always stay at Ixchel, and everything there is great, but the beach clubs just a offer a little bit different different setting and vibe, with some different activities.
  11. We should teach it to the young Horns and make it a tradition! Think of the glee we'll feel knowing how much they hate it! Can you imaginge? What a bunch of squirrels.
  12. I have three houses. And a condo.
  13. Having quarterback issues and replacing a majority of your offensive line is not a recipe for success.
  14. Daniel the tiger and the trolley would fucking kill. ESP for genx parents of younger kids. But that window is mostly closed. Fred didn’t want the marketing to kids and that is certainly to be respected. So people should open they own pocket books to support the things that they want to promote. This is not hard. You don’t need government and the threat of violence to support the arts and media.
  15. Also, you are on the road with Austin drivers.
  16. timed out on me but to add a bit: PBS has always pushed the education angle and has focused on parents and educators. Why would it want profiteering off of children? Profiteering would probably run counter to the mission of much of its leadership. That doesn’t mean that opportunities didn’t exist.
  17. Beef enchiladas topped with cheese, and cheese enchiladas topped with beef. Rob Walsh’s recipe is simply the best.
  18. Mboko fucking drilled Coco, 1 & 4 in an hour.
  19. As if stealing the tune to Goodbye my Coney Island Baby was so much more noble 🙄
  20. I do a ton of domestic travel but hardly any international, so living in the Central time zone, it's pretty easy math no matter where I am. I can see the benefit for international travel though.
  21. That's the least pudgy, annoyingly punchable-face looking photo of Smart I can recall seeing. Probably an assistant coach falsely labeled as Smart.
  22. Yea, she’s awesome on episode 8. Hooked and Moving right along.
  23. Between the Mickey Mouse money and 40k+ stadium attendance on their tour, the Bananas are making some serious bank.
  24. You don’t think you can make a toy line that competes with Barbie’s yet every fucking year there is a toy line that does just that - pet rock, tickle me Elmo, Beanie Babies, Furbies, Rubik’s Cube… what you need is a good marketing plan and good execution of the said plan. Sesame Street has plenty of good options for toys. That isn’t the problem. Of course Mr Rogers didn’t lend itself to many marketing opportunities which is obvious if you watch. That doesn’t mean that other programs don’t have potential. What holds public broadcasting back from marketing its kid’s programming is that it doesn’t try. And while I’ve never been involved in marketing kid’s toys it would not surprise me in the least to find out that there are people in the organization who discourage and even try to prevent marketing of its kid’s programs.
  25. "The Aristocrats!"
