    Cannabis was outlawed in 1937. People in the their 20's then are fucking dead. People in their 20's in the 60's are in their mid to late 70's and older - and are only about 15% of the population at this point. They are likely 50/50 on the topic with every generation thereafter being more amenable to legalization. It will happen eventually. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

    Yep - I was basically thinking of the people from the '60s that are in their 70's now. Like my mom - she's most likely thinks it is still like heroin at worst or the "gateway" drug at best. 

    And Willie Nelson who is 153.

    CONGRATULATIONS

    For sure. I thought for sure she would be the one to want the big wedding. Fine with me. I would rather get them some shit to furnish their house with than waste money on a wedding. There will be a reception sometime next year. He's in the AF based near us and his family is across the country. We've only met his family on facetime at Christmas last year. They're good with it, too.

  3. Probably won't even rank in the top 20 on this thread, but we will go out of town to MIL's house. Like GOTJ, FIL passed away earlier in the year. MIL is the type that probably believes she is the only one to ever have a spouse die. It's strange, but one moment she is extremely self-centered (how can this happen to me?!?!?!), but then hands out $100 bills every birthday (7 kids, 5 spouses, 13 grandkids, 2 Great grandkids). They were not rich people, so that is a lot of cash plus $75 each for Christmas. Oldest sibling will pop some pills and chase them with vodka and then deny anything.

    All the kids have damage from MIL growing up - apparently very verbally abusive. FIL had "bad hearing" all 26 years I've known him. Probably won't be too much booze this year which is good. Wife's family are a bunch of alcoholics - and not the kind of happy drunks either.

    It will be a bunch of people sleeping on the floor, too, so not very comfortable. We should be able to send a couple of our kids to stay with the cousins while we are there, so that will help. 

    Still, a family of borderline racists and anti-gay folks - even the educated ones. Sigh.

    In addition, our oldest daughter is getting married any day now. Not sure when exactly, but they did get their marriage license yesterday, so it is a matter of making an appointment with a judge. I'm sure there will be a bunch of complaints that no one was invited to the wedding. No one outside of our immediate family and fiancee's immediate family know about it (no pregnancy). Fine with me, though, as it will be very cheap.

  4. Open an online retail store that sells only books. Overtime, expand your product line to more than books. Offer to have others sell their items and get a commission on those sales. If someone has a really good product, copy it, slap your name on it then ban that person/entity from selling on your store. Soon you'll need your own warehouses and planes and delivery trucks and stuff, too. Then you can buy rockets and go into space.

    Bet all those refrigerators are still working.

    We just got rid of our harvest gold garage fridge built in 1968 (older than I am) that my parents got brand new because it finally stopped working. Sad.

  6. My dad had the Farrah poster in the garage. It was a dusty garage. Then 'lil Anwar removed the dust from the nipples. Funny it stayed like that a long time.

    I had the blue bikini Heather Thomas, the Aces High Iron Maiden poster and the 7th Son of a 7th Son poster. Also had a random poster of about 6 topless girls in thong bikinis with their ass to the camera. All of those were my mom's favorite - she couldn't pick just one.

    Texas or Mississippi being dead last on weed was always a foregone conclusion. 

    Idaho says "hi." 

    This last legislative session some yahoos tried to push through an amendment to the state constitution to keep all that is illegal, illegal. For a governing body that sure does not want to have government involved in our lives, they sure did make it a mission this year to do just that.

    I assume the LG who waited until the governor was out of the state, repealed the mask mandate and then got bitch slapped as soon as the governor got back from official business. 

    The LG is just as bat shit crazy as Bundy. I need to register as a Republican just so I can help make sure those fuck twits aren't on the R ballot - because they have a great shot at winning.

  9. Had the second Pfizer almost two weeks ago. First felt like a flu shot as far as being sore. The second I was very sore later in the day (shot was in the morning) and the first half of the next day. Never felt ill or any other side affects, though. My wife didn't feel "quite right" the next day.

  10. We travel a lot and often come across pockets with little to no cell phone service. My wife thought she could enable the hot spot on my phone to get wifi on hers.

    She straight up believed that enabling the hot spot, when no cell service is available, automatically “gets internet”.

    It took several different attempts to explain how it truly works.
    My wife thought using her Bluetooth headphones used cell data.

    So they're a terrible team that won a fluke game but you're worried about them winning three playoff games and the national championship?

    Either they're a bad team or they're not. Pick one. If they're a bad team then being in the playoff gives the #1 team a major advantage, which you should like. If they're not a bad team then there shouldn't be an issue with their playoff appearance.

    This is why I like the idea of the 16-team playoff. Like basketball, there probably isn't going to be a 16 seed beat a 1 seed. But there's occasionally going to be a 12 or 11 beat a 4 or 5 that would make things interesting. But like Huckleberry pointed out, the team that upsets isn't going to win it all.

    Me and a coworker had about a 30 minute long debate the other day about this (yeah we probably should have been working but it's a slow time of year for us accountants) but he was arguing for that exact same playoff format.  I'm not a huge fan of (to use your example) an 8-4 Tulsa getting in over a more deserving Big 12 or SEC school but I've come around on it a little bit, it's definitely preferable than what we have now because it still would assure more deserving teams make it in with the conference champs and another 6 at large teams.  

    Off topic - don't you have some year-end planning to do? Lol. Or are you not a tax accountant like me.

    If they are going to blow it up then the P5 need split off. ND would have to join a conference to take part. At that point you could talk about going back to smaller regional conferences, though I doubt even that logic would pass muster with the idiots running the show. Bama and Auburn sure as shit aren't signing on to be in a 10-team conference with a bunch of Sunbelt teams and Texas isn't signing on to go back to sharing a conference with Houston and Rice, much less UNT, Texas State, UTSA and UTEP.

    Sure - I get that. Years ago, I had the conferences all aligned with relatively reasonable (to me) conferences line-ups. Too much to remember and to put in this post.

    They would have to be invited first.  Can't just up and join.  

       

    True - I just figured we were shotgunning stuff. Or is that just me?

  14. It should be a 16-team playoff - 10 conf champions plus 6 at-large. Sorry if Tulsa is the conference champion at 8-4 - they'll draw #1 Alabama as the #16 seed. (Full disclosure - I'm admittedly biased toward the 16-team playoff because I'm a fan of a G5 school.)

    More for the realignment thread, but related - Blow up conferences and go back to 12, 10-team reasonably regional conferences, no CCG and everyone plays everyone in their conference. Some teams would have to go back to 1-AA. Teams are discouraged, but not banned from scheduling 1-AA teams (yes, I still call them that). Independents would need to join a conference.
