  1. I'll watch it. They don't play at their home stadiums?
  2. My ABIA story of incompetence, although its probably more of a combination of British Airways and ABIA incompetence. Flew back from London to ABIA two summers ago. After boarding in London, had like an hour delay taking off because there was "a gasket hanging out of the engine, and we need to find mechanics to check it out." Landed in ABIA and had to wait for another hour because "a plane was blocking our access to the terminal." Then while waiting for luggage, the conveyor jams up. One bag would come down every 10 minutes or so. "Sorry for the delay, but there is a logjam in the luggage conveyor. We're working to get that cleared out for you." That took over another hour. Over three hours total in delays for three different reasons.
  3. It should cost what the free market dictates it costs. Except we don't have a free market. Which means it would be more expensive, so I guess we agree.
  4. lol "student athlete." Div 1 or FBS football players stopped being student athletes a long time ago. NIL just makes it official. He makes millions playing football, which means he's a professional athlete, which means open season on the internet or other media.
  5. Love him or hate him or meh, he stopped being a kid when he started cashing those NIL and Dr. Pepper checks.
  6. Hey moron, vetting presidential cabinet picks IS your job. Its right there in the constitution.
  7. Sounds familiar. Same fault that caused Mt. St. Helens eruption, iirc. Was that really a "big one"? Or just a medium to smallish one that destroyed a lot because nobody knew or cared how to build in an earthquake zone?
  8. I think the "Big One" will hit farther north. Washington or thereabouts. California will always just be relatively small ones. At least that's what I remember from my one geology class so many years ago.
  9. Bolded is already happening. They are calling it a "buffer zone".
  10. Why do Orca's wear salmon on their heads? Hey, if I could wear a salmon on my head, I'd never leave the house!
  11. I don't think Americans have experienced a dictatorship in recent enough history to be bothered to protest/strike.
  12. Two passive aggressive people in a death match.
  13. Its all good. I didn't see it as an attack, and even if it was, its just the internet. Politics will come up because she will gripe about her SS getting cut, and I'll say "well the republicans you voted for ran on that." And she'll say "but they should have only cut it for people who don't need it." and I'll say "Do you really need it? Are you poor? (she's not)" and she'll say "But I paid into it, I should get it back" and I'll say "So did rich people. Did they say they were only going to cut rich people's SS?" and around we go.
  14. Talked to her for about an hour on the phone the day after thanksgiving. No politics was mentioned. Mostly discussed my kid/her granddaughter. In person, politics often comes up, and it gets uncomfortable.
  15. If this guy ever gets caught I'll donate to his go fund me defense.
  16. Ok, so I exaggerate a little to make a point. But you get the gist of my sentiments.
  17. When those cuts go through, I will be on the phone with my retired mother, saying "how about them Trump cuts to social security, huh? Pretty awesome, promises made, promises kept. Huh, what, uh no sorry, you can't move into our guest house, roof leaks after that last storm, and we can't find anybody to put a new roof on it. By the way, how much are eggs now?"
  18. Man, a LOT of shit would just go away if we just got rid of anonymity on the internet.
  19. This is what I was wondering amount. Anybody could shoot some asshole in the back. How did he know that was the right asshole, and how did he know where he was staying and when he would be leaving? Can't change a heart if you don't have a heart. Its like back in something like '86 when Coke announced that they were increasing the cost of a vending machine coke on campus from 50 to 75 cents. Students were OUTRAGED! Coke backs down, then changes it anyway during the semester break. Once all this blows over, and it will, they'll go back to charging more for less. No CEOs will see a dent in their bonuses.
  20. pic in NY Post showed brass on the sidewalk.
  21. Back in the day, I lived off Red River a block from what was at the time an HEB. I just pushed the cart all the way home to my house. Left it in the front yard, reused it next time I or my roommate went to the store. Where does that put me on the shopping cart theory? One day a cop actually stopped at the house, and told my roommate to take it back, right now, or he was going to arrest him.
  22. 9 am. President is put on trial for attempted coup Sunrise next day. President is executed on the steps of the capital building Take note, Ameri.... hahahahahahah I couldn't finish typing that with a straight face
  23. Thanksgiving eve our local nextdoor blew up because somebody saw a bear in the hood. People absolutely freaking the fuck out. Thanksgiving evening, I'm walking the dog and pass by the neighborhood dumpster. Normally it gets emptied on Thursdays, but since its Thanksgiving that is delayed to Friday. People couldn't wait one day and the trash was overflowing out of the dumpster. You want bears? Because this is how you get bears. Dumbasses.
