  1. I prayed for the Vince Young 4th quarter scramble for the National Championship win against USC but then again, I prayed for Ewers to complete that pass at the end of the game against Washington this year. Maybe this God guy doesn't really answer my prayers.
  2. I could use some help on a good location for an incentive trip I am hosting for 130 people next June. My meeting planners for my company have given me to hotel choices in wine country. One is Montage in Healdsburg and the other is Fairmont in Sonoma. Thoughts on those 2 hotels? Things for people to do in the area for those places for a Sunday to Thursday trip? Montage seems like a really far drive from San Fran airport so that concerns me. My other choice is the Ritz Carlton in Santa Barbara. Thanks for any insight into this.
  3. Or after if he gets elected.
  4. Been on 3 Alaskan cruises in the past 6 years or so. For Juneau I would definitely recommend whale watching as it's right in the bay so not very far and you will see tons of whales and hopefully some even jump and shit. I have booked through Gastineau Guiding company and they do a small group tour. They have a deal where you do the whale watch and then take you to Mendenhall glacier for a hike. The whale watching in Juneau is great because the same whales hang out there all summer so the tours can find them pretty easily. For Skagway we did a helicopter to the glacier and went dog sledding. It was expensive but one of those memorable excursions. If you do that book the first one in the morning as the weather can cause stuff like that to cancel out. Ketchikan kind of sucks and I think it rained all 3 times I stopped there. The best part about the Alaskan cruise is if you go to glacier bay or Hubbard glacier. Those days are pretty spectacular if you like checking out nature.
  5. No voters that matter or most voters in general will ever see anything like this. If Biden made a similar remark, it would be on Fox News 24 hours a day for the next 5 months with every single Republican politician parroting what Biden said 24/7 meaning half the country would think Biden is senile. The right-wing Republican machine is unbelievably good at spreading misinformation or as intelligent people call it, lies.
  6. I know. I was being sarcastic with that post. It is infuriating to take something away that makes improves the voting experience because half the country are a bunch of dumb asses that vote for these pieces of shit.
  7. Why would anybody want to end early voting? I for one don't want to stand in line for hours on election day when I don't have to, and I still get my right to vote. What is wrong with the Republican party? What else will they get rid of? Are abortions, contraception and LGBQT rights next?
  8. This Slorch guy is right. It’s the parents fault for the shitty public school system in Texas and not the Republican run state government of the last 20 plus years. You know what else is the parents fault. The Texas power grid failures. If parents would do a better job then many of the good citizens of the state of Texas wouldn’t have frozen to death in their own homes a few years ago. Have we started with the, “if we taught more bible and religion in public schools then that would solve all of our education problems” from anyone yet. I can’t wait for that argument. The previous paragraph was mostly sarcastic and fuck anybody that is too stupid to realize that the Republican politicians in Texas have fucked up what was once a great state.
  9. Like I'm supposed to get short game help from a guy on the internet named 3 putt?
  10. While I have seen DSOTM, The Wall and Wish You Were Here, I would argue Pink Floyd's best concept album (and my favorite) is Animals.
  11. I was just invited to play at Whisper Rock in Scottsdale by one of the members so I'm trying to make that happen in April. Then again, I may quit altogether as my game during the winter conditions (tight lies) has gone to shit. I am dying with my short game which is causing me to shoot low 90's versus mid 80's and it's really pissing me off. What a frustrating game.
  12. This right here. I miss the good old days when a politician was caught in a lie they would have to apologize for it, maybe even lose their job over it. Now if you flat out lie, nobody seems to care as long as it tells the narrative for your side. Every news outlet in America should be calling her out on this and doing articles about it. It should end up being called Rapegate or something but then again that could refer to dozens of Trump crimes so maybe a better name than that. Rage inducing to me.
  13. Tanner was definitely a future Republican and MAGA based on this line.
  14. Honest question and wondering if this should be its own thread but when the cunt from Alabama was asking if you are better off now or 4 years ago what is your answer? For me I am better off now and I feel the country is also. I am curious who on Surly was doing great 4 years ago and now Biden has ruined their life or maybe vice versa. Or maybe you are better off or worse and it has nothing to do with who is president.
  15. That was a speech that could have been done by Tammy Faye Baker or any other televangelist. It was like watching a bad actress. I was waiting for the end of it for her to say please send me as much money as you can so I can give it to Jesus to save you. The saddest thing about the speech is the people of this country are so dumb they watch that and believe her.
  16. Exactly. First time she pipes up he should just say, “listen lady, I don’t come down to where you work and knock the dicks out of your mouth so would you shut the fuck up so I can do my job and finish this speech I’m giving for the American people”.
  17. What is to stop them from briefing him with fake information to see if it gets out? Kind of like a sting operation.
  18. Well, since they are all a bunch of cucks they are probably asking him if he would use his big dong on their wives while they watch.
  19. You forgot to add the bolded word at the end.
  20. Too many to choose from but a few of my favorites. The All in the Family scene starts at the 10:30 second mark to the end with Sammy Davis Jr.
  21. One of the greatest scenes ever and for someone in sales it hits way too close to home and is depressing as shit. Also, the actors in that scene (Baldwin, Harris, Lemmon, Arkin, Spacey) is quite incredible plus you have Pacino and Jonathon Pryce in the movie.
  22. A few from Goodfellas that are perfect.
  23. I was told by Fox News that Trump should be number one. Oh well. I actually agree with Lincoln first with the whole Civil War thing plus being a vampire killer, and Washington and FDR second. I think LBJ should be higher. While Vietnam was a shitshow it shouldn’t all be on him since that conflict really started years before he ever took office. His domestic accomplishments often get over shadowed for some reason. His legislation for Civil Rights, the voting rights act, war on poverty in America, environmental legislation, public broadcasting (which lead to programs like Sesame Street), school funding for poorer areas, head start program to help feed poor students, starting Medicare and Medicaid programs for the poor and seniors, national endowment for the humanities and arts, and naming the first African American to the Supreme Court (Thurgood Marshall). His initiatives were for the good of this country and to help those that needed help the most. He should be above Obama. CSB/ but I spent my senior year at UT writing a thesis on the Vietnam War and had access to LBJs personal documents at his library. It was awesome reading presidential briefs with LBJs hand written responses on them saying shit like “go tell that cocksucker McNamara to go fuck himself” and all sorts of comments like that.
  24. I give you The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh starring Dr. J. Terrible movie and even the trailer is cheesy but since I watched it a thousand times when I was a kid I still enjoy it.
