  1. One of the best and funniest books I've ever read. I read a lot of books that fit in this thread, but that's the one everyone should read.
  2. It's amazing how often people forget this. You can get an antenna and a receiver for $60, and there ya go... hi def.
  3. beets by dre
  4. and down she goes
  5. Only if she loses, which seems very unlikely now. Hell, if anything, I'm impressed Venus got a set on her at her age. But I also remember a comment Martina Navratilova made about playing in her 40s -- that she was hitting the ball better than she ever had been, but just couldn't get to it any more. That describes Venus' play accurately; she's hitting the ball as well as I've ever seen, but it's just hard to move like you need to at 45. Muchova serving for the set at 5-1 and 30-0 up. Venus is toast.
  6. Gotta say, I haven't watched tennis in a while; used to be hugely into it, but haven't really followed it in a decade... I'd forgotten how fun it was to watch.
  7. ssstwitter.com_1756157920803.mp4
  8. incidentally https://humann.com/ already has Longhorn Track and Sark in the front page video
  9. cabo, you are the Sammy to my DLR I was there first, and did it better, and will tell you about it endlessly
  10. I like him just fine; I just think he can't play football for shit.
  11. it definitely does not suck to live here, i'll tell ya that meanwhile, in russia:
  12. eh?
  13. Mike McDaniels disagrees
  14. My cat's GPS tracker (the Goober Positioning System) is aiming for "true but uninformative" today with this default zoom level. (He was on the front doorstep.)
  15. First off, it always has been that way. Second, that's exactly what's made it worth watching; trying to see who will make the cut and who won't, between the journeyman veterans and the fresh-drafted/graduated hopefuls. Not to mention the "Hey has this starter really recovered from his injury" etc.
  16. Keys had over 80 unforced errors. Hard to win anything when you spot your opponent over 80 points. Doesn't take anything away from Zarazua's play, though. From the games I watched, she was making some outstanding shots. Watching the game felt very different from the games I saw yesterday... just an overall higher level of play from both players.
  17. would
  18. lol we haven't been better than this since the taco bell gongs in the 90s
  19. I think everyone thinks that, other than the Dolphins front office, who somehow have him $6m guaranteed. ouch
  20. At least, if you include the ones the PRC doesn't officially recognize, yeah. Anyway, if she HAS had a rhinoplasty... it hasn't helped much.
  21. Did you know that her country has nearly a billion and a half people with at least 19 major recognized ethnic groups? I'm guessing you don't know a lot of Chinese people...
  22. Also, it's her first ever major 1st round win. In a slam. With a slightly easier couple of opponents ahead of her, having beaten a seed -- only one player in her bracket for the next two rounds is seeded, Mertens at #19. A decent run can be life-changing for a young player like this; she just bashed the door wide open.
