  1. pos rep emoji for use of "scallop" in sentence in a way that demonstrates understanding of the word's definition.
  2. What if Hobbs, in her capacity as SOS, doesn't sue, those votes are never officially added to the totals, and some R loses some statewide office, as mentioned above?
  3. I honestly dgaf how anyone bets, like slorch said, its your money. But I will admit to sometimes talking shit to the wrong way bettors. All in good fun of course.
  4. Probably too late for you Coach, but for future BB visitors: Brick Vault is damn good que, but they usually run out by Sunday. They also brew their own beer. Oct-Dec is definitely the best time of year, although late Nov into Dec can be pretty cold.
  5. this dipshit: lol, but probably a bot (actually click the twat):
  6. heard on NPR a lot of the deaths were heat related. FIFA is the most corrupt sports organization in the world. They chose Russia last time, and now Qatar. Who hosts next time, Iran? North Korea? The answer of course is whatever country pays the highest bribes, regardless of how brutal or repressive the regime. Fuck FIFA and fuck the world cup and fuck international soccer.
  7. well that and the fact they can outright bribe him.
  8. I'm about 100 miles from pecos and it was pretty strong here. entire building shook, windows rattled. People were yelling. edit: probably lasted about 5 seconds or so. Long enough for me to walk over to the window, and then out into the hallway. well, I mean, it is Pecos.
  9. Timely thread is timely. Wife visited a friend this weekend, Friday through today. Of course, both me and the kid wake up sick Friday am. So I was home sick all weekend with a sick kid. and the cherry on the shit sundae was the goddamn tcu game.
  10. Does ted know he is the most hated man in the senate, hated even by his R senate colleagues? Does he really think he would be confirmed, or even get a hearing, if he was nominated for scotus?
  11. the prefix "pod" is the greek word for foot. the prefix "ped" is from latin "pes" or "pedis" also meaning foot. However, "ped" (originally back before our language became debased it was spelt "paed" with a ligature between the a and e) can also come from the greek "pais" meaning young boy. so pediatrist- child doctor (from greek) podiatrist- foot doctor (from greek) pedal- something you push with a foot (from latin) Finally, 40 years later, that "Greek and Latin Roots in Modern English" class comes in handy.
  12. Actually, they collided in four dimensional space-time. They occupied the same x,y,z coordinates at the same instant in time.
  13. So, does the speaker have to get a majority of the votes to be speaker? What if enough R crazies vote for someone besides McCarthy, and every dem votes for Pelosi? Since Pelosi got more votes, does she remain speaker? Or is just whichever person gets the most votes from reps in the party that controls the house?
  14. A properly installed fireplace should have a little door thingy inside the actual fire pit that you can open to allow air to feed the fire and minimize drafts around the doors and windows. But a fireplace is just about the worst way to heat a house. Nice and toasty right near the roaring fire, cold every where else, you have to keep poking the fire every so often. Big stone/brick hearths around the fire pit is good. Be sure you heat the flue well before lighting the fire.
  15. When I was a kid, my dad had business in El Paso a handful of times a year. He'd take me sometimes and we'd go over to Juarez and eat like kings, hit up the dog races. Memories.
  16. All the above is true. El Paso is a great small city. Not a bad drive to ski areas in NM if that is your thing. By far worst problem is air quality. Horrible air pollution. Starting to get a lot of sprawl also. And traffic on I-10 can be a shit show, although probably not any worse than any other Texas metro.
  17. Let's see, we got: plague of frogs rivers running red with blood famine beast with 7 horns or something like that DoTArd yep, right there in 2 Corinthians.
  18. Here's my dream scenario: DotARd wins the primary with the backing of his insane magat rabble. The GOP says Nope! and picks The Thumb by committee. Civil War II: Electric Bugaloo, but its magats vs RINOs lighting tires on fire around each other's necks. Yeah, I know, but a man can dream can't he?
