  1. How is it possible that your CEO looks SO RUSSIAN? Like, is he TRYING to look that Russian?
  2. Holy fuck this is flawless.
  3. Well, they were off in one of two ways ... either the Independent / Undecided logic was fucked, or the error bars were WAY too narrow. Take your pick.
  4. I mean, sure, but slowing him down when he's got the hot hand is sort of counter-productive to actually getting him TO the league.
  5. Good lord, an adult is back in the room. This is epic.
  6. God this game wears me out sometimes. Played Grey Rock from the white tees today with my dad. It's a good exercise, because I need the practice hitting irons. I've been in a serious free-fall over the last six months. So today, what do I do? I proceed to hit 16 greens (17 if you count the double with a ball OB, the second ball was GIR). And 37 putts. SMOOTH little 74. Iron play was way, way better tho, so i'll definitely take it. Just frustrating to not get anything to go in. I counted 9 putts inside of 15' today for birdie or eagle, not one of them even lipped out (although two died center-cut, but short).
  7. Didn't end up installing the pocket door during a recent project. Has everything you need, all purchased locally from HD. https://austin.craigslist.org/mat/d/austin-pocket-door-frame-hardware-door/7223947144.html
  8. My vote would be that they bulldoze #18 on clay for the putting course Haha seconded. That hole blowz.
  9. "Joe, joe don't do that, oh oh!" had me cracking up.
  10. Interestingly, this song also wins the "best song with bagpipes in it" category.
  11. real grass would never work at TopGolf, but I'd love to see someplace with a decent amount of land try it - maybe Clay/Kizer, who already have lights in place, and a short course requiring maintenance. They could take the last ~20 yards of the range, and bulldoze the fake practice green on the short course. Together you could put 12-14 really good holes on a meandering, real-grass putting green complex. Charge me $20 for unlimited play, $10 for an hour.
  12. I"d pay well to be able to play legit mini-golf in a topgolf-like setting. Well-maintained turf, holes laid out in a realistic way, games that can match golfers and non-golfers (like the OG topgolf product). Find a way to capture the "expansive putting course / 19th hole" feel from places like Pinehurst (the Cradle) and Bandon (the punchbowl), and it could work. I'm not sure how to run the business, but I'd pay for a quality experience for certain.
  13. This is the show I've been turning people onto when I get asked what I'm watching. It feels good to be able to recommend something that's fundamentally about good people treating other people well. I think I might start a re-watch tonight!
  14. LMK If you want to fire him, and hire me.
  15. Hit 6 greens, 35 putts for a smooooooth 85 yesterday (and lost a pile of benjamins in the process). Fuck this game.
  16. Scaife is a GREAT pick.
  17. Weird concept, eliminating ones alma mater. I'm going to include them anyway. QB: Farve (Vince. If you say anyone else you're either older than 70, or wrong) RB: Barry Sanders (Ricky because I was in college for his Heisman year, and on the field for that A&M game, but Ced for what he meant to our leap into a national title contender) WR: Megatron (Mike Adams for my formative high school years watching the horns win some games they shouldn't, Roy Williams for that freshman campaign, and Jordan Shipley because Jordan Shipley) TE: Tony Gonzales, who made every Rob Gronkowski possible (David Thomas. If you say anyone else you're either older than 70, or wrong).
  18. Is there a chance that mold is in the framing? Looks like it's been leaking for a while ... are you gonna pull the drywall?
  19. Fact is, basically all of the womenfolk, sans Gail, are smoke, and they all bring something to the conversation that the others don't. Marie-Fred - can hang with Wayne (well, *could*) Anik - legit model, ain't afraid to use it Katy (stop spelling it Katie, please) - the complete package Bonnie - girl next door Gaye (I LOVE GAYE SEX) - give-a-fuck meter permanently pegged at 0 Ms. McMurray - straight-up freak Angie - ain't nothing wrong with a little hate fuck every now and again
  20. This, plus NGE's clarifications, is exactly where Freakonomics landed as well (saved you that 45 minutes). While probably not perfect, this idea is one of the better "new ways to incent saving behavior" that's come out of a VERY stagnant market.
  21. EHT Barrel for $80. Rock Hill for $51. What the FUCK is happening right now ...
  22. I say this with love - fuck you.
  23. It would have made a great EP, but having it be Eddies wine-fueled playground turned me off. I definitely agree that the 'real' songs are all awesome, I just transparently prefer both guitars present in the mix, and a solo or two every now and again. I couldn't get enough of the opening to Brain of J when it dropped. That was a return to greatness (I realize that skips a shitpile of time, I'm not saying everything between the two sucked ... BoJ is just a great example of what I like out of PJ).
  24. oh. You're one of THOSE PJ fans. (lol ... takes all kinds, even the ones that like foxymophandlemoma and bugs. Immortality and STBC are both a fucking JAM, tho.)
