  1. I retired at 45. Got divorced at 48, which throws a huge wrench in FIRE plans. Fortunately, didn't burn any bridges so was able to get my old job back. Now I'm almost 52, and have a more money just for me than the joint assets I had when I retired the first time. It's really stunning how much a single upper middle class dude can save without even really trying, plus a raging bull market didn't hurt. I could easily retire this second if I really wanted but my youngest is a junior in HS so I figure might as well work another year as it's not like I'm going to be traveling the world until he goes away to college. (Side note, your work conditions really improve when both you and your employer know you don't really need the paycheck). Once he goes to college, I figure I'll rv around the country with my dogs for a while. When that gets boring, I'll hike the Appalachian trail, paddle the Mississippi or something else stupid like that. Or maybe 2 chicks at the same time.
  2. It's almost as if the last 4 years were preparing Sam for this exact moment.
  3. Are you a military family where parameter vs perimeter comes up 40ish times a year? Are your conversations basically did you check the perimeter before coming in, or does that equipment fit the parameters of our mission?
  4. It's so painful watching Michael. It's like watching an 8th grader whose sole frame of reference is watching romantic comedies.
  5. I'm in Bloomington, MN, home of both Oliva and Joey Freshwater. Oliva told some stories where he and some other latin player fresh off the boat were assigned as part of a PR tour to go speak to a group of season ticket holders in BFE Minnesota. A couple of Cubans at the height of the cold war with barely passable English getting lost in rural Minnesota. They'd pull over to ask for directions, someone would recognize them and direct them to their eventual destination.
  6. Just finished this- huzzah.
  7. Good to see Oliva in. I'm no sabremetric guru that can tell you whether or not he's actually deserving from a baseball standpoint, but he's a genuinely good dude. His grandson and my son play on the same baseball team and he'll just sit around and bullshit with anyone about anything, even if you can't understand half of what he says. Yes, I know, cool starry bra.
  8. To be fair, nobody likes their dates stolen.
  9. Easily argue? Based on results, Lincoln is clearly below Wilkinson, stoops, and (spits on ground) Switzer. He's competing with Fairbanks for 4th place.
  10. I don't recall it going down that way or that dickeater was pushed out.
  11. Yeah, I'm a dumbass. Typed USC twice instead of including tOSU. To clarify, UT, OU, ND, Mich, tOSU, USC, bama. The 7 blue bloods, imo.
  12. Forgot tOSU. Listed USC twice. tOSU is definitely Hemet/ blue blood
  13. Yeah, that's close, but I don't consider FL a helmet school, but in the next tier down. In my world there are 7 true helmet schools-TX, OU, USC, mich, ND, USC, bama. Those should all be destination jobs, though we are doing our best to challenge that notion.
  14. Crap. How did I forget that? To be fair bama was under some pretty stiff sanctions at the time, but technically that qualifies.
  15. Hell, when's the last time a coach voluntarily left a helmet school to take another college job? I honestly can't come up with an example.
  16. Holy fuck, so much stupidity from both sides.
  17. Started watching world's most wanted episode recommended by billfromLT. Real mayo looks closer to the Mexican Escobar than Mexican Mcconahey.
  18. So has anybody here been to Cuba to confirm the women actually look like that? I'm intrigued and think with the exchange rate even I could afford to be a sugar padre.
  19. 1, and it ain't even close.
  20. Ryan Reynolds plays a smart ass, rock plays a tough guy, Gadot plays a smoking hot strong female. I should have probably spoilered that, don't want to give too much away.
  21. This. I remember some drunken 20 year old storming the field to celebrate cougar high's downfall. It was fun.
  22. That motherfucker will read the motherfucking Economist.
