  1. Past hour
  2. We’re about the same age. I remember thinking that I definitely wanted to see this “octopussy” movie, but I didn’t want to see it with my parents. Unfortunately, I was 7, so what are you gonna do.
  3. BTW, the Pecos cantaloupes this season are exceptionally kickass. We’ve eaten a dozen or so in July. Very sweet and great texture.
  4. From Miriam Webster: What to Know The three plurals for octopus come from the different ways the English language adopts plurals. Octopi is the oldest plural of octopus, coming from the belief that words of Latin origin should have Latin endings. Octopuses was the next plural, giving the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Lastly, octopodes stemmed from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending. I'm very much enjoying the pedantic language discussion!
  5. Klatt did his top 10 players in CFB. Hill at 7 Arch at 4. Summary below the fold
  6. There is no agenda other than hatred with the Republican Party. They have no interest in actually bringing back "patriotism" for the country (reference their comments towards our national women's sports teams.) They aren't genuinely trying to increase the influence of religion (woke Pope!) There's no desire to shrink government (immune President) or reduce the deficit (big beautiful bill) or free trade (**gestures at everything**) The only core belief of the Republican party is hatred. It's why the greatest hater of all time became their leader and why he will never be toppled.
  7. Octopuses is correct. You don’t use a Latin plural for a Greek root word.
  8. I bet you love Bordeaux and Chablis, though
  9. Very similar to the way Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a real Nimrod (referring to the legendary hunter) and we all context clued out the sarcasm and assumed it meant "moron". To this day most people think a Nimrod is a moron.
  10. It's not like we are going to be less productive against Georgia or Ohio State in running the ball. Seriously though I could see us give up a few more sacks due to an inexperienced offensive line and maybe Manning not being as quick through reads/progressions as Quinn due to his inexperience or Manning maybe being a little too aggressive looking for the deep ball. But Manning's leg's and superior pocket presence should make up for some issues as well were Quinn ate a sack.
  11. The lantern that hung in the tower of the North church. Now that's cool.
  12. Looking forward to "letting everyone with any involvement free and paying them reparation money" becomes what MAGA says they wanted all along.
  13. Day after the bill passed I got an email from social security (the official social security) about how awesome the big beautiful bill is. It made me burst out laughing at the dinner table.
  14. First off, Merlot is absolutely fucking trash. So is Chardonnay. Second, who the FUCK says Octopuses? It's fucking octopi. Anyone saying Octopuses should be corrected and violently mocked.
  15. There's some pretty good not-so-subtle snark in this. https://www.thetimes.com/article/a16fff4b-ca9c-45c4-b85d-3168750dff7b?shareToken=aca77cceb9221c90f4b028c72286e055 Russian fans of heavy metal and goth music could face prison after the Kremlin’s top court outlawed the “international satanism movement” as an extremist and terrorist group — even though no such organisation exists. The Russian Supreme Court’s ruling came after appeals from the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, MPs and other officials. It means that anyone who is alleged to be a member of the non-existent movement could face up to eight years in prison. Critics said the ruling would increase the climate of fear that has gripped Russia since President Putin ordered tanks into Ukraine in 2022. In April, Andrei Kartapolov, a senior MP who heads the Russian parliament’s defence committee, told officials that satanism was a “direct threat to Russian statehood”. He also alleged, without evidence, that Russia’s satanists were funded by the West. Another pro-Kremlin MP claimed that he had received complaints from members of the public about the growing number of “satanic sex orgies” in Moscow and other cities. Although President Putin was once a KGB officer in the officially atheist Soviet Union, he now professes a deep Christian faith. He has described Moscow’s standoff with the West over Ukraine as a battle against the “outright satanism” of same-sex marriage and other LGBT rights. In January, Patriarch Kirill, the powerful head of the Russian Orthodox Church, said that he supported calls to ban satanism because it was an “ideology that destroys our national identity and weakens our people”. Kirill also said that Russian soldiers in Ukraine were fighting for values that were directly opposed to satanic beliefs. That is not true of all Putin’s troops, however. In 2023, as part of the Kremlin’s efforts to recruit convicts for the war, Russia freed from prison a member of a gang that killed four teenage girls in a ritual killing. Nikolai Ogolobyak and his accomplices fried and ate the hearts and tongues of their victims and stabbed one of them 666 times as a sacrifice to the devil, police said. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2010, but was pardoned by Putin after serving six months at the front in Ukraine. Human rights lawyers warned that the Supreme Court’s ruling meant that Russians who listen to heavy metal, goth and industrial music, which often use occult imagery, could be at risk. “Will they put people in jail for T-shirts with pentagrams and goat heads? We won’t risk saying for sure, but the practice of cases involving other fictitious ‘extremists’ can tell us a lot,” said Ivan Pavlov, a prominent Russian human rights lawyer. The Supreme Court ruling, which is due to come into force next month, is expected to be applied retrospectively, meaning that people could potentially be prosecuted for social media posts containing satanic imagery that were made years ago. The full text of the Supreme Court’s decision has not been published, however, and it is unclear what images have been banned. In any case, the law is unlikely to affect Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and prime minister, who has previously spoken of his love for Deep Purple. The British rock group’s songs include Lucifer and Demon’s Eye. Russia has already banned what it calls the “international LGBT social movement” as an extremist and terrorist group, placing it on a par with Islamic State and violent neo-Nazi groups. The same designation has also been used in recent years to outlaw Alexei Navalny, the late opposition leader, and his nationwide network of activists, as well as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. At the same time, Russia recently removed the Taliban from its official list of extremist and terrorist groups, as it seeks closer ties with the de facto rulers of Afghanistan. Since taking power, the Taliban has banned girls from secondary and higher education and barred women from most professions. Coincidentally or not, Russia’s depiction of its enemies in Ukraine and the West as demonic figures comes as the Kremlin boosts its military ties with Iran, where the United States is routinely referred to as the Great Satan. Even some of Putin’s biggest supporters mocked the proposal to officially ban satanism when it was first floated this year. “I have to officially state that I am not worried at the moment about the ‘growing number of satanic sex orgies’,” Yevgeny Popov, a pro-Kremlin MP and state television presenter, wrote in April. “To my shame, I didn’t know that their number had increased.”
  16. I have to question the bread choice for what otherwise is an exquisite sandwich.
  17. I was like 7 when Octopussy came out and my dad took me and my brothers to see it. I remember, even at that age, what to see the pussy. Very disappointing.
  18. Fall Camp is 'Prove It' Time for a Number of Longhorns (Monday AM) - CJ Vogel More Livingstone love:
  19. stop the boat, i want off. I just got an email titled "How will The Big Beautiful Bill affect your business?" I can't fucking believe that name got all the way through and is now defecating in my inbox. goddammit I hate this fucking timeline
  20. Thankfully we won’t have a statue back there but yeah I wish we had a game to break them in but they need to keep arch clean at all costs.,
  21. Hope this is good. Aziz just said "fuck it, my career is in the gutter due to a bunch of bullshit, so I'm just going to write, direct and cast myself."

  23. I've been sworn to secrecy and haven't even told my core friend group, but what he's alluding to with something big coming for NIL will also just be really fucking big for UT athletics. And it will also be hilarious. Regarding the back-up QB battle, there are no doubt multiple posters on this site who are grinding their teeth right now that Trey Owens isn't going to cut it.
  24. The current political reality in this country is a binary choice. I hate it, but it's the truth. The fact you consider yourself losable might be a bigger problem.
