  1. I guarantee his internal monologue right there included something like, "What's this chick asking me about credit cards for?"
  2. Next up, how to use your cell phone to authorize putting your entire 401k on black in a Lake Charles riverboat... A public service announcement from your friends at the SEC...
  3. Whoa, sir, you guys don't get to manipulate the market down 15%, then manipulate it back up 10%, and call it a 10% gain. I'm using round numbers here, but that's pretty much what has happened since the initial "Trump Bump, i.e. corporations realized their taxes weren't going up." Also, the consumer confidence was the highest monthly gain in 4 years, not the highest level it's been at in 4 years. It is still below where it was last fall when a different president was in office. And, as with stocks, the only reason it had room to surge so much is because your boy tanked it in the first place. You don't get to break things, put them back together kinda, then claim massive improvements from the valley that you idiots created. What absolute horseshit.
  4. Oh. So, this thread isn't at the top because he died suddenly. Okay then. I'll check back tomorrow.
  5. Better do it quickly. I figure we have about 2 more years of being able to openly criticize this regime or Christianity before that leads to your corpse hanging from a wall.
  6. This man cannot smell his own farts.
  7. 2 inches was his measurement. She's probably got it at like 0.75.
  8. They must have gotten that technology from Lubbock.
  9. * Simultaneous lightning and thunder have entered the chat *
  10. Buckets of rain in Cedar Park and it's hitting the windows in sheets, but nothing like 80 mph winds yet.
  11. Hold onto your asses, y'all.
  12. Wonder what the thinking is there. Just less time to sit around and get anxious? Less chance of a rain delay that doesn't get finished that day?
  13. You think K State beats UTSA? I'm more worried about the latter. They score a shit ton of runs.
  14. Will it *ever* return to reason? In the very long run, I think there is still hope. But I will be 50 later this year. And I do not believe that this country is fixable in the next, say, 20 years. I believe that Fox News has won for at least a generation, and the cabal has only begun to scratch the surface of what they're up to. So, I am actively scouting out retirement destinations and learning Spanish. I cannot say that I ever loved this country. But I did not take it for granted, either. I don't go in for patriotism or religion, so I was never proud to be American, but I damn sure did feel lucky to be American. But, to me this is just a place. And places change, like everything else. It was a good place for most of my life, and I'm thankful for that chapter. But this country is morphing into a place that I don't want to be a part of. And no, I do not feel obligated to stay and fight for this place. It's just a place, and there are many others, and many of them are beautiful and cost a fraction as much to live in. So, I'll retire about 5 years earlier in one of those places, and I'll have a chapter there. And I'm looking forward to that. Because the place I grew up in is already gone. (None of this is meant to contradict the OP, whose feeling I also understand. Just spit balling a different take)
  15. Yeah, right after Austin gets a loop.
  16. Donald Trump will create a cartel that does business in cell phones instead of narcotics, because nothing is too stupid for this timeline. We'll probably end up with a produce cartel, too. You'll have to go to a back alley with a suitcase of money to buy an avocado because, and this is true, the UFC guys convinced young people in the Deep South that a reality TV host was a brilliant businessman and white people are being persecuted by brown people. There are really no limits to how fucking ridiculous this place is gonna get.
  17. Whatever. Go win the whole fucking thing.
  18. Well, that's stupid.
  19. So unlucky, god dammit.
  20. Leadoff walk puts the winning run on base. I love baseball. But I don't want to watch this anymore. End it.
  21. You mean the strip club near the mall?
  22. How are y'all talking about wasting a guy in a single-elim tourney?? Just win. Tomorrow's an off day. Let's go.
  23. Go yard, Will, come on
