Mayo, bitches. -
Should add I was really talking about Arch going off script. That said anyone saying Arch is throwing too many deeps balls is not watching. The kid is 4-8 on deep balls. It’s literally the best part of the offense

100% agree, but begs the question. The last 4 years saw an average of 4.95% inflation with a peak of 9%, the worst period for the working class since Nixon, was the problem the President as well? -
Daughter: Are grandma and grandpa rich? Wife: We don’t talk about those things. Me: [To daughter] It can be impolite to talk about that stuff but why don’t ask? Wife: [glare] Daughter: They have 2 houses. And one has an elevator. The other has a pool on the inside. I think that means you’re rich. Me: that’s pretty solid logic sweetie. But it’s probably best you don’t worry about money. You’re well taken care of. Wire: [still glaring] Daughter: But we’re not rich. Me: Not when I have to pay for all your activities and stuff. Daughter: oh Dad!!! [Daughter leaves] Wife: You always do this. The conversation should have ended at ‘We don’t talk about things like this’. Me: She was curious and she wasn’t wrong. Wife: she shouldn’t use that word. Me: what word? Wife:!Rich. It has such a bad connotation now and with all this backlash you know. Me: oh yeah? Wife: Yeah it’s a bad word now. Just say wealth or they have money. Rich just isn’t safe anymore. Me: What kind of world is it when rich … I mean people of means don’t even feel safe in their paid off BMW’s and multiple houses? Wife; [Glares] Me: Don’t worry babe. It’s nothing you need to worry about. Wife: Yeah because we don’t have any money. Me: I’m doing my part to keep my family safe.

For the big games usually 20+. For games like UTEP probably 6-10. If the vibes are right and we get hungry I have been known to uber eats food as well if we run out.

I don’t remember his prospect shine. I have a type/ good fastball and swing and miss. Command/control not as big a deal.

jamestalarico.com A metaphor invoking Christ, but only specifically mentioning a rabbi. It's time to start flipping tables. Pretty sure I like it.

Fucking Varsho. That’s a former catcher doing larceny at CF 2X tonight.

Bush's in Fairfield is the only logical answer. The Corsicana store is too far from I-45. And nobody ever really need to go to Groesbeck.

Yep, poor fundamentals related to 1) and 3) discussed at length in this video. Our OL looks poorly coached on footwork.

I’m going to open a Nepalese-Mexican fusion restaurant called Como Se Lama.

Fuck you Varsho

Fucked that inning up good. Let's go hit the baseball.

RE: Reagan and MAGA-Trump While I appreciate the PBS traditionalist history provided by Twice, it left out some key aspects of Reagan era, perhaps because it does not fit into his worldview or selective memory banks. 1. Reagan Worshipped Like a God >>> Trump Worshipped Like a God I was at the University of Texas in 1984. Reagan was a freaking God to the frat boys, “Young Conservatives,” and Libertarians. Across America, Republicans worshipped him like a God as well. Sure seemed cult-like to me; not as bad as MAGA and Trump, but the worship was there. Still is. Hell, some Surly posters still wax poetic about him. Reagan was swept into office in a winning brew of Hollywood glam (albeit B or C level), rapidly escalating evangelicalism, a stagnant economy, supposed free market ideology, the hysteria of propagandized patriotism of the Cold War, all anchored by a yearning for the “good ole days.” 2. "It’s Morning in America Again" >>> Make America Great Again. — In the wake of the 1970s inflation and tepid Carter administration, Reagan was all about Making America Great Again. After all, his famous TV ad said “It’s Morning Again in America”! Largely celebrating small town white America, along with marriage, white picket fences, big American flags, etc. An obvious, spot-on foundation of MAGA. 3. From Hollywood Celebrity Glam >>> World Wrestling Celebrity Glam Don’t scoff. That B or C-level Reagan celebrity "glam” sets the stage ... for D-F level Bush the baseball team owner ... to Z-level celebrity glam of Trump, in which celebs, glitz, and $$$ wow the rurals and less educated. From Hollywood B level star to loser Baseball Team to World Wrestling. What a crater. 4. Reagan + Moral Majority >>> MAGA crusades and against science and abortion. Reagan openly courted the Moral Majority and Jerry Falwell, thus marrying the Republican Party to religion, specifically Evangelicals, Fundamentalists, and Creationists. The anti-science, anti-evolution, anti-abortion crusades had a political home. A clear precursor to MAGA and the overturing of Roe v Wade. 5. Breaking Down Wall Between Church-State — Reagan got the “Equal Access” bill passed that permitted students to have religious gatherings in school. In the name of “freedom,” of course. Thus, starting the erosion of the wall between church and state, which was accelerated by W’s “faith-based initiatives” and MAGA White Christian Nationalist regime. Again, Reagan is a clear precursor. 6. Astrology Readings >>> Complete MAGA Idiocy Into the White House Nancy and Ronnie have regular astrology readings in the White House, which caused a media outcry for fears of astrologers advising Reagan on Cold War matters. Yet, more anti-science and idiocy. Eventually, leads to MAGA and Q and Trump’s idiotic birther conspiracy. 7. DEA and Mass Incarceration >>> ICE Concentration Camps Reagan ramped up Nixon’s Drug War massively, leading to the sprawling industrial prison complex. Targeting mostly people of color and inner cities, before spreading across nation. Busting down doors, No Knock Raids, masked agents, etc. Again, a clear precedent for ICE, mas raids, “detention center” concentration camps, militarization of America, etc. — Republicans love throwing people in jail, especially people of color. With MAGA, they will get around to anti-MAGA artists, writers, intellectuals, TV talk show hosts, etc. 8. Teflon Tough Guy God Reagan invaded Grenada, had the Iran-Contra scandal of outright lies, the grant rigging in HUD, fired numerous EPA officials, the Savings and Loan collapse, various scandals and corruption in Defense Department, and so on. Did not matter. He was a God. Seems cult-like to me. In the end, Reagan was a Teflon tough guy God, worshipped by tens of millions of Americans and Evangelical Christians… not unlike you know who. -
