  1. I’m almost 1 year since I bought the car. Frankly the dude who did the LS swap is what took forever. The car just sat around while he did quick transmission rebuilds and shit instead of mine.
  2. Sheeeiiittt... nice to find this thread. My '47 Chevy is getting real close to done. It's in the upholstery shop finishing up tomorrow or Thurs. Then goes back to the body shop for some finish work that we knew we'd need after doing the LS swap on the motor/tranny. Maye a week there. Stereo, wheels and tint will round it out and I'll be done.
  3. So that's 2 dudes... interesting.
  4. Because they don't get the credit for it. And it will be seen as a slight against them that they weren't the ones to come up with the innovation.
  5. Definitely a lot of this. But I'd add that the business environment/cultural expectations(non govt) also weigh heavy. The whole concept of "saving face" is something we simply don't have here. The US specifically is a lot more of help me out or get out of my way, when it comes to innovation and growth. In China you're not really supposed to one-up your boss or anyone senior to you. So while you may be the 26 year old engineer with a great idea, you'll squash it most likely because you can't overstep your bounds. You will have shown up your boss and he/she won't have that. Healthy companies in the US embrace innovation and improvement on processes. People are rewarded for it, including superiors who are able to recognize talent and bring them along to exploit it. In China it's all about knowing your role and staying in your lane.
  6. For sure.. I would have preferred it if the cop took a nightstick to his face rather than the taser.
  7. I'll be there man... hit me up.
  8. Anyone ever watch The 100? It's a show about a post-nuclear earth/space. Pretty damn good for a CW show and has plenty of hot chicks in it. I'd suggest it if you're into sci-fi/action stuff.
  9. Scorpion, meal worms, crickets. On the more normal spectrum things like morcilla(blood sausage), tongue, sweet breads... all kinds of tasty stuff comes out of animals.
  10. Man I just spent some time searching for pics of Games People Play and Malibu Grand Prix to no avail.
  11. Is that a mugshot picture on her mirror?
  12. Oh I know... I recall the name change for the 1836 back then. It's why you have the Sam's Army supporter group. That being said, the MLS has no power. And a heavy portion of the fan base is of latino decent/Mexican. I think IF Bob had done what I suggest when they first brought the team on that he could have pulled it off. Everyone was so hungry for the NFL here and the tough-guy concept behind it would have sold I think. I'm sure there would have been some controversy but they could have pulled off something. Instead they came up with the worst shit ever.
  13. Things seem to have gotten stagnant at the top of college football. The last 4 years have seen the same 6 teams have any viable shot at the title so I think people are getting bored with it. Texas getting back into the mix would shake things up something and also wake our dormant fanbase. If we get back to losing just 1-2 games a year and dominating the teams we should then people will fill the stadium back up.
  14. I’m a fan of watching traditional, campy ass horror movies. Classics like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare are all good. But then toss in cheesy shit like Sleepaway Camp and Evil Dead etc. I enjoy drunk shit talking the characters as they make poor decisions to get themselves killed.
  15. If you'll be in the Cork area for Blarney Castle then try to make a swing by the Jameson Distillery in Middleton. It's on the way from Dublin to Cork and is a quaint little spot with some good history. It was a fun little 2hr deviation.
  16. Apparently at a Metallica show in 1986-87 at the Sam Houston coliseum there was an incident with everyone picking up the folding chairs and making a huge stack out of them. Then people were climbing up to the top and diving into the crowd. So I'm told.
  17. Finally got to watch the last episode last night. LOL. What a shit show. Kill Negan and take the show in another direction for fucks sake. Advance the story/idea of moving civilization forward and survival with new obstacles discovered. Instead we're going to have a bunch more of the same now with both Negan and the un-pregnant pregnant chick wanting to take Rick down. I also like how when they heard the whistle Rick and team just stopped in the middle of the field. For fucks sake get back to the treeline and take cover you morons. That was a Fannin at Coleto Creek moment. So much dumb.
  18. Holy shit, you need to suggest to mannequin neighbor that they invest in a real doll now.
  19. Wait.. did that car somehow drive perfectly up a guy-wire?
  20. Ahh crap. Well that's a limiting issue. Also, how often do they send out the $20/20 deal? It doesn't appear I got one this week, unless it's that they wait until Thurs to send it out.
  21. Alright alright alright. LMJ straight filthy last night. That was good to see. Let's go Jose.... time for you to park one in the seats.
  22. All kinds of this. Stay healthy and keep dealing. This rotation is sick.
