  1. No, I want to trade you screen legend Anthony Quinn's undershirt.
  2. More than all the endowments of all the universities involved combined. ~16 MM university students at any given time in the US. That’s $31,250/student is that some unfathomable number for lifetime earnings difference between Stanford and UCSF? They know they aren’t going to get anywhere near that if they’re able to get anything at all. But the class action lawsuit filed the week of the announcement probably isn’t very serious, and was largely for the explosive headlines which it achieved. Not at all. Just believe in 7th amendment. (No CR) Laugh at it and throw it out. We have a system for this.
  3. Kangaroos aren’t bears, either.
  4. Will there be a Trump candidate that goes low to beat all the dead horse “controversies” and makes them relitigate instead of campaign? Warren - Heritage appropriation Biden - “clean articulate” and “7-11 Dunkin” comments. Beto - DUI & “breast and Buttock” Sanders - Taxes, sexual harassment from campaign Etc Etc. I think Rs topped out at 16 or 17 candidates. Bell curve, your going to have some leaders some 5-10%s then some 1%s. Trump hammered some 1% before they could get off the ground. Don’t think that’s typical campaign strategy. Trump had no fear of giving a voice to Jindal, Huckabee, Santorum, Carsons of the worlds. Hit the low ones early and often while they’re taxing and taking off, so you can concentrate on getting ahead of the 25-30% candidates already flying.

  6. $500B is because you have to start somewhere. I don’t know what the barrier to entry is for Fortune 500 Board’s/C-Suite, but I imagine if you look at the numbers they aren’t well represented by public land grant degrees. If this was going on for 5-10 years, a couple hundred kids with stellar HS resumes and test scores can’t get into Prestige U and have to go to Public Ivy or worse... Career earnings of C-Suite vs normal middle manager. Career earnings of drone in sector 7G vs normal middle manager. That shit adds up quickly. The reason people were outlaying hundreds of thousands of dollars is because it was worth it as an “investment” in their kids future. Side note: I’ve heard a compelling argument that we’ve done this to ourselves. GenX is told “you have to go to college”. With all those candidates a degree from Lamar or Abilene Christian isn’t good enough for Fortune 500 anymore. They go on to work at smaller business. Missing generation and millennials go to college, and there is no room at the inn. Elite schools increase tuition, public ivies increase tuition...”degree prestige” becomes larger barrier to entry for best jobs. Price goes up more. People have NW Public St Tech, BS Poli-Sci degree with 4.0 GPA that the regional plumbing supply distributer won’t accept for entry inside sales gig and poor plebe owes $100k @ 8.5%.
  7. Winning posture. Only the best posture. Posture so great you’ll want to think about slouching.
  8. Acquire this dude and you could put together a nice scene

  10. APC >>>> SWN as far as logos go Curious why you picked those two? SWN is exclusively Marcellus Shale. APC is Delaware DJ, Deepwater Gulf, Africa and S America.
  11. Not a lawdog. Think it’s federal, SG Warning. Had 1 guy at Bunker Hill HEB point it out to me repeatedly, when they were open. Got this or something similar years ago for a glass growler I always seemed to want filled when he was on shift. Other glass has it printed in the back. My SS growlers have it etched on the bottom.

  12. Its called a pilcrow.¶ A good writer would know that.¶
  13. From ABC13 Houston. “At least two Houstonians were indicted in the scheme: Martin Fox, who is the president of a private tennis academy in Houston; and Niki Williams, an assistant teacher at a Houston high school and test administrator for the College Board and ACT.” So who has read the whole indictment? If they are charging a tennis coach and ACT admin there has to be at least one prominent Houston family involved. Does the indictment list the name of the individual Coach Center was talking to?
  14. I think it’s different for different colleges. And it is still late, but not 2 weeks out or last week of class. 6 Q-drops max across Texas. 2018-19 years Academic Calendar: 8/29 1st Class day 9/4 4th class day. Add drops may require school’s dean 9/14 12th class day. Last possible add/drop day. No refunds. 11/1 Last day for pass/fail change or Q-drop without extenuating circumstances and dean’s approval. 12/10 Last class day.
  15. R/V Petrel kicking some ass. Thanks Paul Allen. 75ish years of searching then in a couple expeditions: Indianapolis Lexington Juneau Hornet Wasp +whatever lesser WWII finds I’m too lazy to look up. Going to put itself out of work.
  16. No cloak-room// Coworker mentioned this morning Georgetown Tennis coach is rolled-up. You know who likes to send their kids to Georgetown? //no cloak-room Det. Lester Freamon: You follow drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. But you start to follow the money, and you don't know where the fuck it's gonna take you.
  17. Billy Pittman is open! Loved that guy. Leading receiver in every category in 2005. Yards from scrimmage 778. RT yards from scrimmage 778. BP 34 receptions for 750, 22.1 avg, 5 TDs RT 27 receptions for 275, 9.8 avg, 3 TDs BP 2 carries for 28 yards, 14 avg, 0 TDs RT 76 carries for 513 yards, 6.8 avg, 12 TDs I contend GFDavis should have rushed Pittman more for a change of pace. Also if you’re interested: Pino - 0 TDs 113 pts RT - 12 rushing 3 receiving, 90 pts JCharles - 11 rush, 2 rec, 78 VY - 12 rush, 72 pts Melton - 10 rush, 60 pts Selvin - 8 rush, 48 pts Pittman - 5 rec, 30 pts DT - 5 rec, 30 pts. One could argue if Pittman was selected as the change of pace back over RT he’d have a larger spot in the record books. Not sure if the Bells Palsy got worse or if he just never had the connection with Colt. He just kind of faded away in 06 & 07.
  18. What it lacks in CEO’s kids, social media influencers, and Hollywood love it makes up with Darrell’s po-boys, duck hunting, and drunkin nights seeing yesterday’s stars today only at L’Auberge!
  19. Mad men gets left off. Comedy. No CYE, love it, but it doesn’t belong. MASH has to be there.
