  1. Another June top five recruiting finish looms ever closer for the dear old Texas Aggies!
  2. They also assume the airs of a team that actually knows what it's like to be good. Aside from their winning percentage in games they never played and losses that are as good as wins, they got nothing.
  3. And Americans, for the most part, will go about their daily lives.
  4. Nobody knows more about security than he does. He knows more than the Secret Service and Brinks. He uncle taught security at the Sorbonne.
  5. And won the Battle of Dunkirk!
  6. I had no idea. When a large part of the population served prior to ending the draft, I bet the outcry would have been deafening.
  7. They perfectly display why rational argument is dead. Those minds won't be changed.
  8. Do you mean KKK? He's Black. I thought that covered the joke. If not, apologies. Seriously.
  9. Sooners aren't obsessed stalkers convinced you're part of something more evil than just yourself. They're just football rivals. It's why beating them is a bigger deal than beating the Aggies, but losing to the Aggies is a bigger deal than losing to the Sooners. Aggies see it as a universe affirming event.
  10. Aggies love the three Ks in his twitter handle.
  11. Opening verse: [Verse 1] Some folks are born made to wave the flag Ooh, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief" Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord Second chorus [Chorus] It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no
  12. If you know what I mean. Heh heh.
  13. Take that away, and they got nuthin. They'd turn into more normal people, but they hate that.
  14. I knew we were getting into trouble when idiot W announced that abstract enemy.
  15. I guess anyone who partiipates in recruiting has to be totally bought into everything Aggie and assume anyone exposed to a tradition like their fucking ring will be gaga over it. I can't see anyone reading that idiocy who isn't already an idiot.
  16. And this: If you're not already an Aggie, that's some lame shit. They better hope the water in Lake Bryan isn't toxic this weekent.
  17. I'll go a little subtler. The great Robert Mitchum's entry in the original Cape Fear. Cady introduces one of the most interesting characters in film to me. Part of me, as a male, admires how tough, cunning, and smooth he is. Part of me is repulsed by his easy slip into brutality (although I wish I were capable of that should a moment require it). He's brilliant. Anyway, the opening of the movie has an attractive woman overloaded with books. She struggles along and Cady appears on screen at right in a long shot. That confident swagger. As the woman attempts the stairs to the court house (I think that's where it is) we move in closer. Cady goes the same direction she does. At last, she fumbles the books. Cady strides on by without a second look. He just doesn't give a fuck. That's also one of his last lines in the movie. He terrified me when I first saw this as a boy. For me, he's one of the most memorable characters in film. As an actor, he so effortlessly conveys quiet, confident masculinity. He's a fucking man. This kind of brief intro to a character with no words is the best when it works. Lector stepping up from the back of his cell is brilliant as well. That's every element of filmmaking working together: set design, photography, script, director, costume, and actor are perfect in a second like that. I enthuse. Apologies.
  18. Goddamn. What does it say that he's lost Ramirez? He's probably their best cartoonist. Good for him.
  19. It will be due to our toxicity. We put worms in Sankey's head so we get easy schedules, crooked refs, and more promotion. We own/are the sweetheart of the media. And we have to buy players because nobody wants to use our horrid facilities. And few SEC Night Games!
  20. I don't know. With all the ice melting in the land of the Inuit, they may end up in the market.
  21. I imagine suicide mujahadeen are pretty amped up now. Thank goodness we have a brilliant persons in charge of Homeland Security and the FBI!
  22. That was me before I hit submit. The masses would rally.
  23. That's a really great point. His leverage in the private sector was threatening not to pay. Brilliant!
