  1. Agreed. The last 10 minutes was brutal. I didn’t realize the speech he gave on Raw and then died later that night. He will always be Dingo Warrior to me! It was strange watching the Dark Side episode on Warrior the same week as the Biography as it was very similar so didn’t have the same impact but I do like Jim Cornette in anything so him so it had that. I am looking forward to the Mick Foley one on Sunday night. Considering I haven’t followed wrestling since the 1990’s all this nostalgic wrestling stuff has me considering paying $4.99 a month for Peacock since it includes the WWE channel which has like all the old shows from WCW/WWF and I think it has all the PPV stuff for the last 30 years or more. I could be wrong on the content so if anyone knows please post about that channel.
  2. Did I say he was a drug lord, dumb ass? I said there were rumors he was involved not in charge. That means lower level or even maybe he was just a cokehead with a bad habit that owed some people money you don't want to be in debt to. I know that it would be fucking shocking for someone living in South Florida in the early 1980's to possibly have involvement in the cocaine or marijuana business. At the time of the murder Walsh was a hotel executive with ties to the casinos in the Bahamas so I guarantee he was around some people in the drug business. Then again so was everyone in South Florida from 1975 to 1990.
  3. I will through out another example that isn’t someone I knew but I knew a lot of the people in the case. Many of you may know the Adam Walsh murder story. He was a kid abducted at the local Mall in Hollywood, FL and found murdered. It was a big national story and his dad, John Walsh started the TV show Americas Most Wanted. I lived in the same neighborhood as them and used to ride my bike to that mall almost daily so I was probably at the mall when he was taken (I think he was left alone at the Atari display in Sears or something like that). The police detectives that worked the case were good friends with my dad (used to play poker with my dad and go fishing with him). The dentist that did the dental medical records to prove the body was Adam was also a close friend of our family. Let’s just say I was told there were rumors that this wasn’t a random abduction and murder but that his dad was in the drug business and this was a retaliation for some drug related stuff.
  4. So, I just noticed this thread and not sure if this counts as knowing a murder but let’s say that when I was a kid my father was “connected” to some people. His business partner was a little guy who I called “Uncle” Oscar. I found out when i was older he was one of the most feared hit men for the Gambino and Lucchesi crime families in New York. I also learned that my “Uncle” Vic from NY was the Don of one of the Five Families in NY. I did not know all of this as 7-8 year old. I realized it when I was in college and watching Goodfellas and I realized I knew a lot people with nicknames when I was a kid that were friends or associates of my father just like this movie I was watching. As far as my “Uncle” Oscar, he was the nicest guy to me as he was close friends to my dad and I still remember him giving me a $100 bill and telling me to spend it all at Toys R Us and my parents needed to let me. This was in the late 1970’s so that was big money. I bought a crap ton of Star Wars action figures with that cash.
  5. Waco, Religious Sect, Compound? Meh, what could go wrong.
  6. Was this posted yet somewhere? I mean, I know they are nuts but are we getting to the point where it is actually scary how stupid these people are? 23 Percent of Republicans Agree ‘Satan-Worshipping Pedophiles’ Run Government: Poll (thedailybeast.com)
  7. Is it terrible that I read this whole thing in Lebowski’s voice picturing Lebowski saying it? Maybe Jeff Bridges is a lot like the dude.
  8. So GR saying he has never heard of her is like his hero Trump saying he has no idea who people are even though there are always pictures of Trump with them. Hell, here is a picture of GR feeding Marjorie Taylor Greene the carrot off of his plate from Bobs Steakhouse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Rumor is the Patriots have talked about a trade for Julio as he is good friends with Cam Newton and would like to play with him. The trade bantered about was a 3rd rounder plus N’Keal Harry with the 3rd rounder becoming a 2nd rounder if Jones played enough games. Second link has current betting odds for teams to get Julio. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/julio-jones-trade-rumors-falcons-all-pro-receiver-reportedly-interested-in-playing-with-cam-newton-patriots/ https://www.patspulpit.com/new-england-patriots-social-media-video-podcasts/2021/5/24/22451240/odds-patriots-favorites-trade-rumors-falcons-julio-jones
  10. The Seminole part is true but that is more recent. When I grew up there the Seminoles did not have gambling. They only had high stakes bingo which started in the late 1970’s and that was all they had for years. They used to sell cartons of cigarettes real cheap. I remember driving to the reservation and going through the drive through as a kid so my dad could get multiple cartons of Kools.
  11. What is amazing about this scenario is Florida has been trying to get casinos legalized for like 50 years so they could put them on Miami Beach but they could never get the legislation to pass because of the Bible thumpers up in the Panhandle were all against gambling. Now it could actually pass because those same Bible thumpers would vote to help their Orange god out. Strange times indeed.
  12. Tonight’s Dark Side was pretty interesting. I never knew about the North Korea shows and I enjoyed it even listening to the smugness of Eric Bischoff.
  13. So where in the Bible does it talk about abortions being bad? I am not a biblical scholar but is it Genesis? Did god tell Eve after Adam hits that don't abort it? Also, can't it be argued that god created everything so technically he was the divine spark on creating the medical procedure that is abortion. Maybe he made man create abortion because he saw that the Earth would be overpopulated in the future so this was his solution. I am totally cool with people following whatever religion/god it is that floats their boat but don't push your beliefs on everyone else. This isn't about Pro-Life because a majority of these fuckers against abortion are all for the death penalty.
  14. I think there is a lot of cash out there. People have made a lot of money in the stock market the last few years and have cashed out and want to invest it into real estate. I have two houses in my neighborhood about to go on sale and just found out the same guy owns both and lives in neither. He moved from Cali when Toyota moved to DFW and he bought 3 homes with cash. Lived in 1 and now is about to make a killing selling the other 2.
  15. That's not fair. He went to golf courses in other states also.
  16. I dont think so but I am not sure. I was told that by a friend and its not in my neighborhood but somewhere else in DFW.
  17. Well, if Eric Trump thinks Biden is lazy then it must be true. What a choad. Eric Trump slams Biden and Harris, says they are 'lazy' and 'lack motivation' (msn.com)
  18. I am trying to build a Britton home and they announced all new builds will be specs and you can’t pick out anything. When your turn comes up on their list you can take it or leave it as is. It’s hard to spend that much on a new build and you can’t even pick the back splash or flooring.
  19. The thing is once you have to live in St. Louis. I say that as someone who was born there and who has family up there. I am guessing KC is similar in home prices.
  20. I heard Coventry Homes is making you sign a document on new builds that says your price can change by the time they finish building and you will owe whatever it is at that point. No limit like it could go up 10% or something just a “hey, we have been building your house for the last 6 months and now that it’s almost finished you owe us an extra $100K since materials have gone up in price. Don’t like it then we will just sell your home to one of the hundreds of people waiting for a house.”
  21. Not sure if others are in the market to move but I have been thinking of moving to a lake lot in my hood if I get the chance but its starting to look like I will get hosed with this pursuit. One of the builders in my neighborhood in DFW, Taylor Morrison, just announced they will no longer take contracts on their new home builds but instead they will mimic the pre-owned market and let people put in blind bids for the opportunity to let them build you a home. I guess this means they will say, this lot and house is normally $700K so put your bid in and if you bid high enough we will then build you your house. Does this sound like the norm for new builds? I know the pre owned homes in my neighborhood are going on the market and selling in 24 hours. One last week went for $140K over asking and the buyer waived appraisal and waived inspection. A friend of mine that lives up the street moved a month ago and got 12 offers within 24 hours and went with the one that was $60K over his asking price, buyer paid cash and waived the inspection and appraisal. I guess I have never bought or sold during a market like this so not sure if its wise to even try to buy a new house. I have been waiting for a lake lot for a year and now the market goes nuts just when the lots are about to be released meaning I am screwed.
