  1. Ok, what the hell with Ferrari? I read previously that before Covid, they had some issues and did not expect to compete until the latter half of the season. But ... ?

    Is Vettel just mailing it in?

    Or do their cars just suck so much this year?

    Wonder why there isn’t a lot of this chatter from the players at OU, Bama, tOSU, LSU, etc...  

    Maybe because in part, if you have a pulse and have 3 opportunities to spell CAT after being spotted the C and the A, you are admitted at those "fine institutions of greater learning." UT is one of the most liberal, public universities in the US. We currently have statues of MLK, Jr., Barbara Jordan, Cesar Chavez. We previously removed statues of Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Reagan,  James Stephen Hogg and moved them Briscoe Center for American History.

    Good Lord, we aren't aggy which has a bunch of old, former yell leaders doing their chants during BLM protests.

    Like all institutions of higher learning, we must remain open to intelligent viewpoints.

    If players attending the University of Texas wish to not participate in athletics until certain demands are met, that is their right. That is an adult decision. However, with adult decisions come adult consequences. A decision like that at 21 years old has the potential to impact them for decades and could jeopardize a far greater platform in the future. Now, I do not believe we should yank their scholarships. If they wish not to play, they can attend class and use the time they would otherwise spend in practice or at games to hone their views on life and the world. If they choose not to continue their athletic careers, we can still enhance their lives through academic opportunities.

  3. Gentlemen (and ladies, if any), we all know that so many more businesses are going to cease operations and/or declare bankruptcy. Even those entities which received EIDL loans.

    Let us assume that Commercial Landlord obtains a judgment for defaulted amounts under a lease with a corporate tenant. Before the lawsuit is filed, the commercial tenant receives EIDL funds but the funds do not come in time to save the business. Also assume the majority of the funds are being held in a separate bank account.

    The SBA has a UCC1 over all assets of the corporate tenant (including presumably the funds in the bank account).

    Thoughts and opinions on whether the EIDL funds in the corporate tenant EIDL account should be subject to garnishment.

    The immediate answer is probably yes, but, there has to be more to the equation than that.

    Let's also assume that the Commercial Landlord refused to work with any of the tenants for rent abatement or deferral. Balls to the wall, fuck you pay me.

    Thoughts on whether an implied duty was created for commercial landlords as a result of Covid-19 to devise and implement a rent deferment or abatement plan for tenants assuming it can be shown that the vast majority of landlords created this plan.

    never had a QB while here... just like any school that isn't Alabama, can't win without a QB.

    didn't get the initial offensive staff right,and made it worse.

    gotta score points.

    Nowithstanding the fact that he couldn't spell CAT even if you spotted him the C and the A ...

    The worst coach in the history of Texas football by all measurables.

    With St. Maarten coming back online after the hurricane that wiped out half the island I hear there are some deals to be had. Went last spring and loved the island.

    I would only buy on French side of St Martin. Dutch side is way too crowded.

    Agree with that. I am not the "cruise ship, hanging with tourists from Nebraska type dude."

    Roatan is looking mighty intriguing.

    Belize has their QRP program that is pretty good for expats.  We've actually looked into it and are thinking of maybe doing that when we retire (while keeping our base on N Padre Island).

    Last Christmas, we looked at some condos in Sint Maarten that were pretty close to Maho/Cupecoy and looked like they might be promising.  I'll dig and see if I can find the info we got from that.

    Thank  you

  7. Going to bring back to life this thread.

    Am on a 5 year plan to cash out and move to a Caribbean island.  Right now, looking at places like Roatan, Ambergris Caye, etc.

    Willing to spend up to $300K on a house, preferably right on the beach.

    Away from the turistas for the most part. (for example, if I could afford St. Maarten, the Dutch side would rarely see me).

    Going to spend whatever time I have left, writing, a few talks would love to find an ex-pat bar to part time tend bar in, snorkel, eat the local food, etc.

    Don't need extravagant things.

    Thoughts?

    101 days till USF @ Texas! Just believe!

    I was so looking forward to that "birkenstock wearing, mouth breathing, destroyer of football programs" Charlie Not-So returning to Austin and watching the absolutely puzzled look on his dumb ass face when we hang 80 points on his dumbass team.  But ... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    Obviously, I still have PTSD ... Post Traumatic Strong Disorder.

    I know that the waving song isn't your fight song, but it's really the one you hear on broadcasts, and has a more distinct melody than your other fight song, which I've only heard in person.

    I guess, to me, the waving song is always what I associate melodically with OK State.

    It's called The Waving Song?

    Hell, I thought it was "Merry Go Round Broke Down."

    Hiring black men for 3/5 rounders? Ridiculous. 
     

    I thought Manfred was bad, so Goodell had to swoop in with a hold my beer moment.

    3/5 ... 3/5 ... wait, 3/5? I see what they did here!

    The US Constitution allowed southern states to count slaves as 3/5 of  a person for the purpose of apportionment in Congress! That's it by God!

    The NFL is simply relying upon Constitutional precedent for this brilliant plan.

    This is Wyle E. Coyote Super Genius material here fellas.

    That remind me of the time I was in Junior High (not middle school fuckers) and popped a wheelie on my stingray bike and the front wheel fell off.

    Orange Krate? I had one.

    Just read a Nike investment note talking about next NBA season not starting til Christmas, perhaps later.  Yikes 

    Which the NBA should permanently adopt. Why try to compete with the NFL and college football for the first 3 months of your season? Start with kick ass opening games on Christmas Day and run through August.

  13. So, the Significant Other has been an independent jeweler for over 30 years. Few employees. Applied for PPP loan last Friday at Chase (we are in Dallas).

    The PPP loan was for a bit less than $20K.

    Just got word this morning that loan was approved and would be deposited in her bank account within 3 business days.

    I wonder if Chase is going to knock out a ton of the smaller PPP loans so they can market how successful they are in funding.

    I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings 

    I always liked those kind of high heels too

    And not black. Too contrived. Every woman thinks it must be black.

    A very sheer nude stocking, or ivory.

    Thank you.
