  1. Where and what is the name of your capital city?

    What for if government do you employ?

    What is your mascot, flower,symbol?

    Do you have a national anthem or pledge of allegiance?

    What is your tax rate?

    How does one become a citizen? Do you allow dual citizenship?

  2. Eh. I'm not a morning person but everyone should be able to get up for Texas/OU. 
    I like the 11 am start and think it kind of adds something to the rivalry. Like getting up early before the house is awake and putting a little whiskey in your coffee before taking the trash out. 

    Can’t drink all day if you don’t start early in the morning!

  3. I miss playing MegaWar on Compuserve using my Apple II+ and 300 baud modem. It never failed that some fuckstick would call me and disconnect my modem.

    Too bad there were not AT commands to disable such things...

    Ah yes, the miss spent time of youth. Leisure Suit Larry, Flight Sim, Zork... Hell, Pong.
  4. I work on a computer that I have to log into. The computer locks if I am inactive for 10 minutes for security reasons (healthcare data, HIPAA).

    1) I have to log into at least three different applications that I use for tasks all day using the same login and password I use to log into the computer.

    2) each application will log me out if I do not interact with that application within 10 minutes

    Logic tells me, both 1) and 2) are unnecessary.
    I should be able to use my login credentials once and have access to all applications. If the screen doesn’t lock, I’m still there and will likely need all applications at some point.

    Fucking waste of time with zero added security.

    People that do t understand security.
  5. Badass over here. 
    Actual, professional golfers routinely get irritated at other pros for taking too long pre-shot or holding up play, and every shot those guys hit is worth potentially thousands of dollars. 
    So I think no matter what level you are playing at/with, it's 100% justifiable to get annoyed with someone that acts like they are playing Saturday at the US Open.
    It's a game. 

    Yeah, and it’s part of the game as well. I like to get the “Well, we’re waiting” from my partner, that tells me everything I need to know.

    Now, if you can’t/don’t keep up with the group in front of you.....rage on my friend.
  6. There used to be a little strip mall on 199 in Lake Worth across from Kmart that had a stand alone liquor store next door. Their parking lots were about 2 1/2 ft difference in height with nothing between them but a retaining wall that kinda looked like a speed bump. It was an optical illusion if you weren't familiar with it or paying attention. People drove off it and got hung up on a regular basis. Don't ask me how I know about this.

  7. Couldn’t decide which thread this best fits but it goes here. 10 year old is eating dinner and watching tv. He has his hand down his pants (that trait comes from my side of the family). Goes something like this:
     
    Wife: what are you doing? Why is your hand down your pants?
     
    Kid: dumb look
     
    Wife: You’re eating. That’s gross. You’re putting your hands on your private parts and then eating food. You can get sick with the germs.
     
    Kid: Removes hands from pants.
     
    A few minutes later, with the kid out of earshot.
     
    Wife: Don’t you think that’s dirty? Eating after having your hands on your junk?
     
    Me: deadpan
     
    Wife: I think it’s gross.
     
    Me: You know you skip the whole middle part of that process from time to time.
     
    Wife: deadpan
     
    Me: You put my penis in your mouth.
     
    Wife: (hamster wheel turning) Well maybe I won’t do that anymore!
     

    Husbands and the stupid shit they say/do thread is over there->->->
