  1. Desperado (1995). I'm on a Danny Trejo kick. Salma Hayek's sex scene was the highlight, and I know how we feel about her, right?
  2. Jayson blames the Covid lockdown for his son’s difficulties. Whatever AI model he attempted to use in crafting a statement just made him sound dumber. Tldr - Moreover, Todd Palin says hold my beer “Being a father in today's challenging world can be a heavy task. With the constant bombardment of information and influences from all angles, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the best way to guide your children. The challenges we have experienced, especially in the last few years, with schools being shut down, social shut downs, and the depression that was set in from a mismanaged COVID SHUT DOWN. Despite our best efforts, we will fall short sometimes. As a parent balancing work, family, and personal life while striving to be a good role model for your kids can be incredibly demanding. Moreover, the spotlight of today's media can magnify and distort even the smallest aspects of your life. It's disheartening to see your actions or words misrepresented and sensationalized, painting a false picture for the public. These distortions do not only create tension within your family, but also affect your reputation and relationships outside of the home. As a father navigating this complex landscape, it is crucial to stay true to your values, communicate openly with your loved ones, and remember that perfection is unattainable. Striving for honest and genuine connections with your children and keeping them on the right path, despite the challenges and external pressures, is what truly matters in the end."
  3. I really need to stop watching this show while flying. I'm starting to get a reputation for allergy attacks. Great series.
  4. Brisket is my campaign manager when I file as a D for Texas 21. A few weeks back God told him to tell me to run. I hope he remembers. And I hope you all donate to my campaign. We will keep Mary Bond away from the money this time. Seriously, this district is a bloodbath at the moment. People have been indicated (sic) for making terroristic threats at Phelan. His opponent is a lying piece of shit, and the local news in unwatchable due to the negative campaign ads. I stopped by my other house to check the mail as I was out of town for 10 days and not only were there rolled up flyers stuffed into my door handle, the mailbox was stuffed with at least a dozen 11x17 glossies. David Covey seems like a real lying shitbag, as evidenced by the MAGA hat-wearing mouth breathers that walked up my driveway to start an argument. If I were Dade I would have pulled a pistol and stuck it in Covey’s nose and said “if your goons ever set foot in my house again and threaten my wife again I'll kill you, just like I would have done under the castle doctrine if I had been home the day it happened. And whoever is running Ernest Bailes opposition is pure evil. In short, I want tfg to experience serious 2nd-degree radiation burns throughout his soft tissue. Death would be too kind for what he has done to the country.
  5. Fucking government intruding into muh freedoms. let me guess some idiot turned it on, forgot to take the cover off, and burned his house down
  6. At its core, this book reads like the big book. A lot rougher, but amazing nonetheless. He's been sober since August 1968.
  7. This is absolutely hilarious and terrifying
  8. Me too. Almost lost it in front of my seatmate at the end. The scene with the interrogator made me want to go down a different rabbit hole on how each Air Force knew so much about the other. Anyone know of any books?
  9. Bluewater for dinner last night and pancake place for breakfast. I’m sure the conservancy isn’t happy about the oil sheen coming off that boat.
  10. @sbbruin Is this a feature or a bug? Do you know the backstory? At Hamilton Cove.
  11. After yesterday I gained more appreciation for your advice. In Dana Pt last night (Laguna Bluffs Marriott oceanfront room for a mere 40k pts????!!?!) but hung out in Laguna Beach yesterday which is totally more my vibe, especially after Newport. My wife’s first day ever in CA and the weather is perfect. About to go meander to Long Beach and take the ferry to Catalina.
  12. This. Wonderful for family beach house or mountain vacations. I’m at my work hotel in Costa Mesa about to leave for a VRBO on Catalina.
  13. Rosenthal, from Miller’s book - “I had read Mein Kampf in college and had seen the newsreels of the big Nazi rallies in Nuremberg, with Hitler riding in an open car and the crowds cheering wildly. It was the faces in the crowd that struck me, the looks of adoration. It wasn’t just Hitler. The entire nation had gone mad; it had to be stopped. “I’m a Jew, but it wasn’t just that. Hitler was a menace to decent people everywhere. I was also tremendously proud of the English. They stood alone against the Nazis during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. I read the papers avidly for war news and listened to Edward R. Murrow’s live radio broadcasts of the bombing of London. I couldn’t wait to get over there. “When I finally arrived, I thought I was at the center of the world, the place where the democracies were gathering to defeat the Nazis. I was right where I wanted to be.” Rosie Rosenthal didn’t share these thoughts with his crewmates, simple guys who distrusted what they called deep thinking. They never learned what was inside him, what made him fly and fight with blazing resolve. Later in the war, when he became one of the most decorated and famous fliers in the Eighth, word spread around Thorpe Abbotts that his family was in a German concentration camp. But when someone asked him directly, he said “that was a lot of hooey.” His family—mother, sister, brother-in-law, and niece (his father had recently died)—were all back in Brooklyn. “I have no personal reasons. Everything I’ve done or hope to do is strictly because I hate persecution. . . . A human being has to look out for other human beings or else there’s no civilization.”
  14. Funny what we do now on Friday nights, eh Celeryman? About to rewatch it. My wife took her dad to see the Eagles and Steely Dan so I’m living it up.
  15. Not yet, he probably hasn’t even signed the offer yet.
  16. The child had a great day. Her dad got custody, and there’s a warrant out for mom’s boyfriend.
  17. Bumping this thread, because my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew are moving to Minneapolis from Portland, Oregon. My BIL was just offered a partner track position at a law firm. Last summer, my oldest nephew died by suicide. The whole family is optimistic, that this new start will contribute to the healing process. My brother-in-law has been a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan, even though he grew up in Florida and Pennsylvania. My youngest nephew is a sports fiend, and is already pestering his father for season tickets for the NFL, MLB, NBA and hockey teams. Plus, it’ll be convenient since my daughter lives in Chicago. I’m sure I’ll be spending a lot of time there in the warmer months and I’ll be reading this thread looking for good intel.
  18. @kenny Same here. I never have to plan a holiday or family event ever again. All I have to do is pay the credit card bill.
  19. To that point, Crosby’s book self-justifies his own extramarital adventures. Immediately before deploying he married Jean but while in England he hooked up with a former girlfriend who also found herself in London. And he was sent to Oxford as the Air Force’s emissary to study the abrupt and powerful societal changes in British society brought about by the presence of so many Americans, especially in light of the vacuum left when English men of fighting age were sent to Africa and other theaters. There, he hooked up with a worldly intellectual lady of noble descent and spent all his available time with her. After the war, he attempted to confess his affairs but Jean shut him down, effectively saying “what happened in England stays in England.” She bore 4 children and they had a lengthy marriage until her death from Cancer in 1980. He went on to earn a PhD at Stanford and a professorship at Harvard. American forces were paid roughly 4x more than their British counterparts. “Overpaid, oversexed, and over here” was a valid complaint.
  20. Are you God’s agent saying I should run for TX21 as a Democrat? (My wife and Mrs. Dade (ad litem) will be in court tomorrow protecting a child. There are photos - a mother drugged out, her toddler sitting in the bed playing with an AK47.)
