    Houston? If so, I think I may have seen the exact same truck downtown on Sunday. Matte black Cybertruck. First time I've seen one in the flesh. Looked like a prop from Demolition Man.

    Direct quote to my wife "Jesus, that's the shittiest looking car I've ever seen. Can you imagine the douche that must be driving that thing?"

    Now, with this info, I no longer have to imagine. 

    Yep. This was at Kata Robata.

    There's no paint to save, the body is stainless steel and unpainted. I can see throwing a vinyl wrap on it to make it look a little better, though.

    Sorry - I should have said it’s a good solution to save it from rusting. I have PPF for aesthetic and protective reasons on my car, but the cybertruck is the dumbest El Camino wannabe ever.

  3. Won big in Saturday’s first game, had a great comeback to tie our second game and stay in the top third of the bracket for Sunday, won big Sunday morning (much thanks to my wife, no pics, for jumping on the 8am first pitch grenade), rolled in our quarterfinal game. All in all a good performance for such a stacked tournament. The Texas 12 from Katy won it, and how they aren’t in Majors is a mystery (it’s not a mystery, you get 12 guesses why). They are insane:

    Again, good showing and an overall good weekend. Pitchers were throwing strikes our last game and the kids were just smoking good pitchers. Over the fence grand slam didn’t help!

  4. Man, looking at this years player rankings make me sick I didn’t win it last year. 10 wins more than anyone else in the reg season and choked in the playoffs. Oh wells thems the breaks. 

    I also think this is the second straight year Derka has had 3rd pick and I’ve had 4th pick. Or maybe it was 4th and 5th last year.

    Anyhow, y’all are fucked, I gotta get back into Gandorf and Derka territory and get my third ring. This is that year.

    This.........is my life for the next 12 years minimum. I love baseball and I love youth baseball, but man it feels like I'm really getting myself into something. I've got three boys. Oldest is in first grade. Im coaching my 5 year olds team and the parents are already completely nuts. Im pretty disgusted with the way some of them act, so I told myself I can be a whiny pussy about it or coach myself and try to give the kids a somewhat sane experience. 

    It could be worse - you could have girls in softball. Softball dad coaches are sooooo much worse than baseball in my experience.

    Finally weighing in here. I’m so fucking worked up. 

    My wife and I have twins via IVF. The whole process was so emotionally taxing and filled with unknowns, worst fears, etc., but we are extremely lucky and it all worked out. 

    We also have a frozen embryo. Trying to figure out WTF to do now. I recall like it was yesterday the appointment where we had to agree what we would want to do with it, including hypotheticals of divorce, death of one of us, simultaneous death of both of us, etc. To think that we may not have that right going forward, and that it’s up to the fucking Texas GOP, is unfathomable.

    On the other hand, I suppose we could just keep the status quo of keeping it frozen, and threaten my children’s inheritance by telling them we will leave everything to their fucking Zygotesibling if they fuck up. I mean, that’s the logical conclusion, right?

  7. I don’t understand all of these stories of your dogs getting all of this shit that isn’t dog food. How does it not result in complete blowouts the following day? 

    This feels like a story that should be in this thread, but it was a buddy of mine. He gives his dog a fucking Slim Jim on a long roadtrip from Houston to the east coast while the rest of his family flies.  Unsurprisingly, the dog blows out in the car in east Louisiana (his wife’s, to boot 😂) and he has to go into some gas station dressed down to his skivvies since the dog shat all over him. 

    This is basically what my various dogs over the year do when they get “people food.” Maybe (obviously) this is a post for “my dog is awesome” thread, but what gives?
