    I (aged about 11) was at a garage sale with my mom and told her to look at a brooch (rhyming with cooch).


     

    11?  Rookie.  I did this exact same thing but as a 1L in property law while discussing some case about who owned a brooch.

    The fact that we were undefeated and in position to win a NC going into the Cotton Bowl with a third string QB (McEachern) was freaking amazing. The point is we had depth at the quarterback position to be able to run the offense we ran at that time. 

    I'm impressed we found a third guy able to hand it off to Earl out of the I formation in 1977.

    The burger is good. I like C&A better, but they're both good. 

    And I sure hope he's just talking about a "burger at the Posse" because the thing that was once called "The Posse Burger" and is now called "the Desperado" is taco meat with jalapenos and queso on a bun.

    Which was also the cheapest thing on the menu back in the late 80s, something like 1.99,  so therefore that was my go-to order.

    I was there last fall and decided to try it for old times sake and well, I'm glad I have a little money now.

  4. Re Bert - Wasn't there some rule that if a walkon gets a certain number of snaps he counts against the 85?  Or maybe I'm getting it confused with a rule that if a 2 sport athlete plays he counts against the higher revenue sport's allocation.

    Seems like this is a loophole you could drive a truck through for skirting the 85 man limit.  

  5. If you're a poor like me and driving through SB with dogs, check out Douglas Family preserve.  Huge off leash dog park with trails overlooking the Pacific and you can take a trail down to a dog beach right below it (Arroyo Burro Beach). 

    One caveat if you have a retriever, it's on a cliff, so try to avoid the trails on the cliff side.

    We’ve had about 4 days straight of clouds, rain and snow in Vermont. Today clear skies should be the same for tomorrow.

    I'm currently in Newport VT.  This afternoon it was clear enough I could look across the lake and see what those sneaky Canadians are up to.  Clear skies forecast for tomorrow too.

  7. Speaking of presidential offspring dying in battle, I'm touring Chickamauga battlefield this morning and just learned that Captain Samuel Jackson died in the battle. Though he was only a grandson of Andrew and also happened to be fighting on the wrong side.

    The historical record is spotty, but it's believed his last words were "Get these motherfucking Yankees off my motherfucking land."

    Negged. And shut the fuck up with the weak defending of your imaginary lover, JJ McCarthy. 

    Are we sure it's only imaginary?

  9. When Carolina was in the super bowl some smart ass reporter asked him about his third leg.  The response was a very curt "next question".   And that's why I'm glad I'm an old and nothing I did in college was recorded

    Maybe because he didn’t want to risk the lives of American soldiers in Gaza or violate the confidentiality protocols he was required to adhere with. If anything, the fact that he didn’t should be a credit to his character.

    I imagine revealing the existence of such information is already a pretty big breach of any confidentiality protocols he was subject to.

    V1 is what made me love astronomy, college level astronomy is what made me hate astronomy. 

    One of my favorite classes at UT was ET Life.  Had to estimate how many intelligent species are out there that want to communicate with us.  You plugged in a bunch of factors/requirements but the final one was that they don't blow themselves up before contacting us.

  12. Looking at that combine invite list, it's the first time I've seen Sam Hartman mentioned in the draft.  Seems like that guy could be a purdy 2.0 if he gets in the right system.  Or maybe I just remember him from qb1 as one of the non-douchy guys so I'm just hoping he'll do well.

    I ignored my portfolio all of 2022 and 2023. I am way up and glad that I didn't touch my investments for close to two years.

    Buy index and hold for the win.

    This right here.

    I did semi-early retirement (53 at the time) last February.  My advice for people contemplating the same is quite simple-just time it right before the market goes up 20+%.
