  1. "I'll snap yo' neck 'till it crackles and pops" is one of the greatest rap lines ever, and it's not even real. It's up there with anything that Spinal Tap did. And Good Sir, with all due respect, it's "KRAZEE EYEZ KILLAH"
  2. For the record, IDGAF if Lindsay sucks every cock in every state in the SEC. I just hate that he's a shithead, and he didn't used to be a shithead. He used to be a decent fellow. He sold his soul to the orange devil, and now he's getting it with no lube.
  3. any dipshit in a lowered car with Anime stickers on the windows.
  4. I saw the tits, but never got a look at the gash. How was it?
  5. United Wholesale Mortgage CEO Mat Ishbia is offering a simple explanation for explosive allegations that his company has “corrupted” mortgage brokers in order to cheat “hundreds of thousands of borrowers out of billions of dollars” in fees and costs. Ishbia claims the allegations — made public Tuesday by a company affiliated with a hedge fund that’s taken a short position in UWM, and which also form the basis of a consumer lawsuit against the nation’s largest mortgage lender — have been cooked up by UWM’s fiercest rival, Rocket Mortgage, and its founder, Dan Gilbert. “That’s Rocket Mortgage and Dan Gilbert doing Rocket Mortgage and Dan Gilbert things,” Ishbia told reporters Thursday. “And that’s just what it’s been funded by.” Rocket Mortgage and Hunterbrook Media, the newly-launched media company that published the scathing report on UWM’s alleged business practices, say Ishbia’s accusations are baseless. One of Hunterbrook Media’s founders, Sam Koppelman, called Ishbia’s take “a baseless conspiracy theory” on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Neither Rocket nor Gilbert even agreed to provide us with comment,” Koppelman posted on X. “Ishbia, meanwhile, has yet to point to a single fact we got wrong in our reporting. Mat, up for an interview?” A hedge fund that’s affiliated with Hunterbrook Media, Hunterbrook Capital, has taken a short position in UWM — a bet that the company’s share price will crash. It’s also long on Rocket Companies, meaning it’s bought shares it hopes will increase in value — perhaps fueling Ishbia’s suspicions. (UWM had not responded to a request for comment on the basis of Ishbia’s allegations as of publication time Friday). A spokesperson for Rocket Mortgage told Inman that Gilbert and Rocket have nothing to do with Hunterbrook Media. “Dan Gilbert and Rocket Mortgage have no investment, other financial interests or relationship to Hunterbrook Media,” Rocket Mortgage spokesperson Aaron Emerson said in a statement to Inman. “The professional investigation speaks for itself and appears to be based on factual, public information uncovered by the journalists who conducted the investigation.” The allegations detailed in Hunterbrook Media’s report are serious — and are the basis of a lawsuit seeking class-action status in a federal district court to represent UWM borrowers who were allegedly harmed. In prohibiting mortgage brokers who send borrowers to UWM from sending loan applications to rivals Rocket Mortgage or Fairway Independent Mortgage, the lawsuit alleges that UWM has caused a growing number of mortgage brokers to “artificially steer loans to UWM.” In the process, UWM has violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the lawsuit alleges.
  6. Yep. The ONLY way to do such a deal is to collect a large enough chunk of up-front cash to cover the payments should the buyer shit the bed. The buyer's payment needs to go to a 3rd party (escrow-ish) that in turn, pays the existing mortgage.
  7. I was doing construction/development loans all over the country
  8. @troph you really should invest the time
  9. I had an employer that did business with a company in Dallas. When we all flew in to DFW for our initial meeting, they took us to lunch...at California Pizza Kitchen.
  10. My work has taken me to places where Chili's is the nicest restaurant in town.
  11. He's playing the "war hero who took a bullet for his country" angle, obviously.
  12. I don't claim to be a tax expert, but I think the answer is no. The only way to avoid taxes is to do a 1039 into another "like" property, or move into the house for 2 years. Is she buying a condo, or a co-op? (co-ops are very common in NYC). If she's buying a condo, you might get away with it if you purchase as tenants-in-common, but then again, I don't know shit about fuck.
  13. meh. It kinda sucked, but if you liked it, good for you.
  14. Peart fit Rush perfectly, just as Weinberg fits the E Street Band.
  15. I demonstrated my supremacy in South Austin's mom's colon last night.
  16. WTF is going on with these assholes vs. Planet Fitness? That dumbshit Kid Rock said something about Planet Fitness the other day, and I just heard that they (PF) are getting multiple bomb threats from the whackos every day.
  17. When you're fucking an A&M coed, and the dog barks, do you have to pull out?
  18. Ace Atkins has written some shit about Phenix City.
  19. When my kid was there, I had to drive over to Phenix City to the Piggly Wiggly to buy beer on Sunday, because Georgia and Jesus.
