    In some fairness to me, 1) a menu of frito pie and beer ain't that pricey, and 2) I already had a fair amount of beer, so just had to supplement it.  We also made spiced cider with rum (wife bought the rum) and as for wine, enough people bring wine that we just serve that.  It's not a fancy shindig by any stretch of the imagination.  Also, we have now reached an age where the number of heavy drinkers is significantly diminished.  Most people just have a drink or two, a lot of people didn't even drink booze (so we had some sparkling water laid in as well, I don't know how much that cost as the wife bought it).  And the wife bought s'more supplies, don't know how much they were, but that's kinda an extra treat, and not that pricey.  Maybe $500-$700 in consumables, all-in.  It's a lot of folks favorite party of the year, because it's strictly for the hell of it, and it's super casual and low key.

    I guess my invitation got lost in the mail.

    One of the best decisions I ever made was going to Florida instead of UVA. (I was from the DC area.) Expansive, idyllic campus set in a small city that is defined by the university. Gainesville is pretty much the definition of a “college town.”
     

    Interesting. We’re like mirror images. I grew up in Miami but eschewed UF undergrad with scholarship for UVA. Came back for law school though.

    Nickle beer night when I was there and you could get the tray shot too.   I lived across from the death wall so it was an easy walk home ... from a distance standpoint only

     

    I was there from ‘87-90.

    Perhaps, but wasted freshmen will never know the joy of hopping on an old school bus and getting carted off to a 24hr diner that has a 30min wait at 2AM.  Then you get seated and there is a band playing kids songs and the whole restaurant is singing Puff the Magic Dragon.

    That does not exist and it's a tragedy.  

    Also the student ghetto looks very corporate now.

  5. We just finished episode 3 and the writing is laughably bad. Also first episode-transporter just leaves patient outside hospital alone to take a phone call?  Yeah that happens all the time. SMH.

    I at least figured it wasn’t an orchestrated terror plot because listening to the news in the car on the way to my Valentines dinner they said the shooting happened at the end of the parade. Just figured that out using my limited semantics and I /s study crime /s am a serial killer and shit. My dinner dessert (the restaurant has Big Lebowski stuff all over the menu and restaurant)

    The mirror of society that is Pornhub isn’t your friend on this man.

    In the ‘research’ I’ve done, you think you’re going to just get down with the daughter…. And then ole MTG is going to walk in to ‘show’ her what to do.

    You’re going to have sex with both of them.

    It’s on the internet so you know it’s true.

    Just accept your fate.

    There isn’t enough Viagara you could take to deal with that.

    Anything we should do about it? Are you comfortable with continuing to fund and supply the exercise? Do you think that we are complicit in the collective punishment/ethnic cleansing/genocide (pick whichever one you are comfortable with)? Have you any thoughts on the ICJ proceedings? Any thoughts on what it means under international law to enable genocide?

    Anything at all substantive?

    I don’t have any answers. I hate everything about the situation. I’m extremely torn as a person of Jewish heritage that is shamed by the actions of the current Israeli government.

    Whatever opinions I have won’t change anything either. So there’s no point in me engaging with you on this.

    Care to register an opinion wrt the ethnic cleansing exercise we are enabling?

    It’s horrible.

    This thread is getting close to ludicrous speed. 

    Weren’t you just complaining that no one was posting in it?

    I just can't take any more of the "Are these two old guys really the best we can do?" shit, even coming out of Jon Stewart. 

    Like if the two finalists for Texas football coach were, say, Pete Carroll, and Jerry Sandusky. "Man, those are our choices? A couple of old dudes..."
