So we have Wes Anderson, Matthew McConaughy, and Marcia Gay Harden as Longhorn Oscar winners. Any others?
Edit: Oh, Renee Zellwegger as a two-time winner.
Eli Wallach only received a BAFTA Award, a Tony Award and an Emmy Award, but no Academy Award.

The Broncos said they were cool with Wilson talking to other teams.
Not everyone pays attention like we do.And there may be “no such things as a ‘dumb question’.”, but there sure as hell is such thing as “a dumb observation”.

Kimmel’s whole bit now is star fucking, and his monologue certainly delivered. Union town my balls. I’ve never been in a city so out of touch with reality.
I didn’t realize that LA was absolutely a union town until I moved there.
Don’t know if you ever connected “The Writers Strike” to The Writers Guild of America (union) or “the Actors Strike” to The Screen Actors Guild (union), but it takes about 1 second to make the connection.
No film with a budget is made without contracts with the Directors Guild of America (union), IATSE (union), or the Teamsters (union).
And then repeat for all non “reality TV” television shows and most commercials you see on TV.
When I was Bruce Willis’ photo double for a MasterCard commercial about 23-24 years ago, I drove a bus about 20 feet and then stopped it. After that take, I reversed the bus about 20 feet (with a few other extras on the bus.
After the next take, we were told that we had to wait for a union driver (Teamster) to reverse the bus 20 feet… even though I had just done it 10 minutes before.
Nothing of any substance happens in that town without 3 to 6 unions signing off on it.
I have NEVER lived in an American city as union run as LA.

Fat Boy Fat knew that the lyrics don’t mean shit most of the time as long as the song had a good hook.
HOOK by Blues Traveler
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaksBecause the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can relyThere is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to growWas that hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can relySuck it in, suck it in, suck it in, if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see
What you're doing to me, this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me, so desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure, but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried, well, no, in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide, but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide, I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've diedAnd only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute diddys
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all your cities to the ground
I've found I will not mess around unless I play then hey
I will go on all day, hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck becauseThe hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook
On that you can rely

Sabalenka’s hard hitting seems to set up nicely for the way Stearns likes to hit the ball.
And Sabalenka double faults twice and the. Sprays to forehands wide and now Stearns is up 3-1.
Sabalenka seems to be pressing… and then Stearns hit an insane inside-out forehand that almost defied the laws of physics.

Stern’s looking up for it after the first 3 games.

For the same reason this thread exists, if all else is even, it’s fun to watch aggies suffer and whine.

Sue me if you want, but I find that much more entertaining than watching their teams compete.

When will the SurlyTemu store be launched? I want Surlyhorns branded chip clips for $0.78
Are you new here?
Chip Clips are totally going to be $3.50.

I would buy the growler & the small knife.
I don’t know if the other knife is a hunting accessory, or the jagged edge is for cutting string/cord, but I basically use small knives to open/ breakdown cardboard boxes from Amazon, so small & blade edge is preferred.
I am serious about the ceramic beer steins. I would likely buy 2. 🤘

Rybakina withdrew against Podoroska today, gets Kayla Day instead. Quite the charmed week.
Mucha suerte por la lesbiana argentina 🇦🇷.
Podoroska would have been one of my English lesbian former flatmate’s favorite players and she didn’t even follow tennis.
The only think holding her back from being #1 was that the flatmate preferred androgynous looking lesbians with slim hips*.
*it’s worthless information like this that will likely stick in my brain for the rest of my life.

All over but the handshake for Venus. She has a WC into Miami also.
Simona will be back then too.
Venus is ranked in the 400s, she is only getting into tournaments as a wild card.
My guess is that she will be a Wild Card at all 4 Grand Slams (maybe 3 and she skips the French), she will be a wild card at Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati and the US Open in the USA.
She may take a wild card to a grass tournament before Wimbledon.
Venus can play well for a set, but she falls apart in the middle of the second set, so she can barely win any matches at the WTA level.
She will not retire this season unless she is told that she won’t get any more wildcards.

I always assumed Frank was named after the German word for pancho.
I think that it comes from…
But I’m just saying that in English & Spanish, the short name from Francis/Francisco = what the hotdog can be called.
I don’t make the words, I just waste time thinking about shit that doesn’t matter at all in life.

4 hours ago, shadow_operative said:This “inverted winger” shit is why was saying that he was the closest thing that we had to a like-for-like winger replacement for Pulisic.
But Pulisic has majorly improved over the last 18 to 24 months.
1) Pulisic no longer appears to hold the ball too long and dribble into defenders & bodily harm the way he did in late 2021 qualifying.
2) Puli has always been many times more clinical than Dest, which used to be their biggest differentiator.
3) Puli has shown that he can play both sides and create for himself and set up teammates while starting out in the final 3rd while Dest has only shown to be efficient in the final third when he is on a run into that area of the field.
From give-and-go’s to creating his own shot to finding a cutting teammate, he hasn’t shown the ability to do that when already set up in the final third.That said, even Weah isn’t as nifty bringing the ball up field and then working the ball towards the middle before creating with it as Dest is. Weah’s one trick is extremely effective, but he hasn’t shown the variety…. yet.
PSV Americans are doing us (U.S.) proud.

Meat gazer/ball gazer, is what we called them.
I tend to call them closeted homosexuals.
Don’t give a flip if someone is gay, but the conservatism and judgmental moral superiority that frequently accompanies those in the closet it something that I take issue with.
Sinerely,

Don't wish that washed up POS on Bijan.
I’m not wishing him to go to Atlanta.
Was listening to a fantasy football podcast and nearly every fantasy player from Atlanta, Las Vegas, Minnesota, and _______ (?) would have their draft position hold steady or drop if Wilson signed with their team.
No one would benefit from his team signing Wilson.
-
Atlanta should pick him up and either draft a QB to sit for a year, or strengthen their OL with this year’s great OL class and then draft a QB next year.
I think that Wilson is washed up, signing him will buy time with the fans while they strengthen their line.

They Rock/Paper/Scissors instead of flipping a coin to determine who gets to choose to serve or receive.
I like that.
Badosa’s jaw dropped after witnessing a Ben Shelton 143 mph ace from court level. The other players are just sitting on benches next to the players’ benches.
2024 Oscar Nominees

Posted · Edited by Napoleon
Luke absolutely does not have an Oscar, but I do think that he was an Emmy for “Tower”, [strike through]though not positive[/strike through].
Also, Luke spent one semester each at Occidental College, TCU, and SMU, but never went to UT.
