  1. Watching on my Firestick…and just got a fucking Christmas-themed ad for a law firm. On October 15th. Kill me
  2. Going back a page, people don’t really seem to understand incremental tax rates on income…wish Biden’s tweet woulda mentioned that they’d only be taxed 25% on INCOME over a certain threshold. Drives me nuts when dumbass mouth breathers talk about ‘punishing extraordinary people’ by ‘taking’ their money. No bitch, they need to get taxed at higher income above certain levels you will never see in your lifetime…getting you one dollar over the bracket doesn’t suddenly mean all your money is taxed at the higher rate.
  3. I few like AgWithKids or whatever is your evil twin, because that dude is the anti-Aggie08
  4. I think it was a mistake to start this thread on a bye weekend
  5. Thank you sir, I’ll gladly accept The First Annual Pretty Decent Award on behalf of us Pokes. Except that GoPokes83 assclown, rest of us collectively disown that turd knife. I wasn’t called out by name but I’ll “such a lovely story” y’all by saying I came here because someone on the defunct OrangePower board called this place out as “full of deranged idiots” and knew I had to check that shit out…but lurked for a year until 2011 when I finally had something funny to contribute. I’ll forever consider myself a guest yet this is my ‘home’ on the internet. I’d say years of mediocrity (we went 3-8, 3-8, 4-7, 5-6 from 98-02 when I was in Stillwater) makes us generally humble, but Kansas was even worse yet their fans on the KU/Pokes thread on Reddit yesterday had them showing their ass acting like they were gods gift to football…so I dunno. I learned humility watching my dad’s USAF career progression, going AD as a captain and retiring full bird, but treating everyone equally with respect…enlisted folks loved him for that, and it made an impression. It’s also why I didn’t go to OU, they talked a lot of shit on OSU during my visit. Woulda gone to UT but a decade of living on base had me uncomfortable living on a huge urban campus.
  6. Which one of these is you?
  7. Regarding checking chair bags, they started that last year. I know this because I’d been hauling in soft flasks of my wife’s tea vodka for a decade without issue, by stuffing them into the padded headrests of our folding chairs, until 2022…when the guy obviously found it, gave me a chided look and didn’t appear to buy ‘my wife made me do it’ excuse. Throwing those old chairs away on Sunday 2022 before walking to our car was incredibly awesome. I finally felt free from being a mule (outside of my D9 gummies)…naturally now us husbands jam a soft flask into our waistline. Whatever, it saves me money.
  8. So people with mental health issues shouldn’t have access to guns. Glad we agree.
  9. I dont know about running, but I’ve driven through Lubbock twice and both times the smell of petroleum and pig shit wormed it’s way through the air filter in my car.
  10. Yeah didn’t realize I was tagged in this post six weeks ago, my bad. Once I got past 40, i sort of stopped having the tv tuned to games all weekend at home…love watching football with friends, but it’s not as intense a connection anymore. Regarding Gundy…only real gripe is blind spot for quarterbacks over the decades. Not sure if it’s due to his playing days or what, but he finds ways to fuck with it regularly…we all thought Bowman was brought in specifically to let Rangel/Gundy season up but instead he fucks with it. He stops fucking with it, look what happens…state of Kansas 2023 champions. Stop fucking with it, Mike.
  11. WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCK!!!
  12. Dana, our OC sucks ass. You suck as an HC. Let’s talk - desperate osu fan
  13. Quarterback throwing dimes = try to run it like 1980’s Nebraska
  14. Not catchable? Ball almost hit him in the nuts
  15. Does anyone there give a shit? It’s quiet as fuck. This has been a helluva game, between two shit teams of course…but y’all with the Cougar High are spot fuckin on
  16. Those people have proven, over and over again, to be beyond reach of any hope. This morning on npr they were interviewing a woman who was against rabies vaccines for pets, despite scientific evidence that side effects are incredibly rare while rabies is always fatal. Her response was that she lives her life unconcerned about rare events like rabies, but once saw a dog ‘act strange’ after getting a rabies vaccine. Literally contradicted herself, without irony, in a single sentence on national radio.
  17. The world waiting for the IDF to start the ground assault
  18. Good for him
  19. Urinals have been around for years, but agree that they have been a huge improvement. Free up the stalls for the ladies and I don’t have to plan ahead by 30 minutes just to piss…or get mad at people not paying attention, or arguing politely for two minutes whose turn it is, etc.
  20. Coming up on my 20th ACL and there have been some epic crowds near the gates…but Friday getting out after Kendrick and yesterday getting in after the game were borderline scary. Totally understand both occasions were full-tilt-boogey time but was thinking it’d take nothing to spark a crush. Weather obviously a factor too but man they oversell passes like a motherfucker. I miss the days when they didn’t give enough of a shit to check chair bags. Weather has been just about the very best you could ask for. Grounds getting tore up a bit and we’ve all got a slight hack going, but nothing like it’s been on W2 nor in the same universe as 2005. And I drove my wife batty bringing this up…but it pisses me off when we put in work to get there earlier, haul on chairs/booze, carve out the good spot in the shade…and friends show up late, without a chair, and crash in our space all day. We bring in a blanket for that express reason and I still have to nudge friends+random folks to GTFO out of my chair. On one hand I lament the only draft being Karbach but hauling cans around is so much more convenient. Drink prices are stupid as usual. Bailen put me to sleep Half Alive was the first surprise of the weekend, had me groovin Portugal The Man was a great show + covered Nirvana (In Bloom), and we did a long drive by of Bass Drum of Death…was fun to see a basic three piece rock out Major Lazer and Above and Beyond were both disappointments…which sucks as I love electronica, and had been listening to Trance Around the World for over a decade. Lumineers ran a good show with that stage out in the crowd, posted up In that side stage sweet spot near the bars/bathroom Poolside was a lot of fun, great energy for mid afternoon 30 Seconds to Mars was such a monument to pretentious ego for Leto that I had to admire the sheer spectacle of it Tove Lo was severely under-staged, wish I’d stayed at Bob Moses…pissed me off they had Chromeo, Tove Lo and Bob Moses all jammed together. Plenty I want to see today but I’ve been an ODESZA fan since Summer’s Gone got me through grad school and that’s the main event.
  21. They’ve been building practically the same car for a decade and they still have endless QA issues…don’t tell me the S/X/Y/3 are very different cars, they all look the same to me.
