    My first step is telling people who open a speech with "I'm fourth generation Texan...third generation Longhorn" to shut the fuck up until they have some actual achievement to discuss.  

    Yeah, I've never understood this either. "Damn proud to have been born in (Tex, OK, NY, etc.)!". Why? Does it come with special powers? I'm sure there's many adopted people that, before they found out, were sure that they were proudly born and raised in their current state. Then they get told the truth and...nothing changes? 

  2. Driving through some rural area today, my wife was taking pics to send to her friend in NYC who loves that shit. She snaps a nice pic, you could see for miles. She said, with awe in her voice, "This looks like a PHOTOGRAPH!", I told her that it was and she took it herself. Got tone at first but she lightened up quick. Said she meant to say postcard. I just laughed.

  3. Saw a truck thursday while driving home near OKC. Tribal plates, otherwise he'd have no shot. "N8tive", also had a sticker on the back window of his regular cab Sierra. "War Pony" with a dreamcatcher in it. Topped it off with an ou sticker.

    Exact same thing with my grandfather.  A few years ago a kid at his church was doing a project interviewing WWII vets.  He recorded the interviews.  When we watched it we were like ho lee fuck.

    My uncle told me that my grandfather would only speak about the war with his war buddies. He told nothing to his four sons and died in his sleep way too soon at age 55. I was born 4 months later, never got to know him. Very unfortunate for me.

    Also, I remember going to Wrigley 5 years ago or so and going to a bar in Wrigleyville called "Sluggers".  My buddy comes back from what I thought was the pisser and says, "you won't believe what they have upstairs!"  I said "Strippers?"  He said, "Better."  I said "Better than strippers?  No way!"  So we go upstairs and they have 3 or 4 batting cages with mechanical pitching machines throwing heat.  In a bar.  With lots of drunks.  I was in heaven, but also flummoxed, as we would more likely have midget tossing than this in CA for liability reasons.  Amazing.

    Csb/ Walked by Sluggers after a game in '95, I was on vacation so I didn't know anything about the city. My host (woman) said "Yeah, Sluggers is a big-time gay bar", as we walked by. /Csb. 

  6. I got the iron-on. Turns out, it's a vintage 1977 iron-on, not a reproduction. It was in amazing shape, looked brand new. I bought a blank shirt that looks close enough to the shirt I had as a kid and took everything to a local embroidery/uniform shop. The lady said she'd do the best she could but she wasn't sure how it would turn out, just because of the age of the iron-on. Well, it turned out pretty good. There are a couple of spots that didn't adhere but that's to be expected IMO. It makes the shirt have a vintage look to it, like it's broken in already. I'm pleased with it.

    Sometimes things go great. My mom loved my wife dearly and was so proud I had married a successful doctor. Only she isn't..... poor mom, dementia sucks. She did love Mrs. Shooter dearly though.

    God Bless you mom....

    So you married a shitty doctor? That's still pretty cool.

    Where'd you get the water buffalo horn? My two are insanely heavy chewers and these are the only things that last, and I've never had one that smelled. We've also had luck with really thick rope toys.

    I got them on Amazon. The other thing I didn't like about them, besides the smell, was how they splinter when he chews them. I am worried he'll eat a sharp piece and tear up his innards.

    The US military has a long history with prostitutes wherever they've been. I've seen estimates that 80 percent of single GI's and 50 percent of married GI's engaged with whores in Europe during WWII. People wanna fuck during good times and bad. The military turns a blind eye to it for the most part, their biggest concern has always been with STDs. 

    You're 100% right, no doubt. But I would apply the same standard to the men. If I had been the wife and the guy had come back from a few years at war with a baby that he fathered, that's a no from me, dawg. And I get it, a LOT of those guys probably thought they weren't gonna make it back, so might as well get some foreign poontang.  Just one of the many reasons I'm glad I've never been in that situation.

    Weather channel just showed another wall cloud live in El Reno.  Good Lord.  Why would anyone live near that place.   Always getting hit 

    I live a few miles from El Reno, I don't remember it being that bad until 2013 or so. 

    CSB/ Got home from work about 5:20 last night, wife says the storm is supposed to hit at 5:45 or so. I go back to change clothes and take a dump. As I'm shitting, the tornado sirens go off. I rolled the dice and finished my shit, the storms moved north of us. Can't wait till tonight, wonder what the weather has in store?

    They lost me when the discontinued their Saturday morning outdoor block, especially Jerry McKinnis' "The Fishin' Hole" and "Walkers Cay Chronicles".  

    Walkers Cay was the shit. Guy fishing and talking about life and nature and whatever. Loved it.

    I miss the lumberjack stuff as well. I always expected to see a guy chop off his foot.

    It’s not just the changing of it but how.  It’s as if they are unaware that the a/c or heat does not need to be at max strength.  They get a little chilly, and they turn the a/c completely off. A little hot, and they turn the max ac on to 60 degrees. Instead of just setting the temperature to a comfortable steady level they constantly adjust it.

    They're idiots.

    My ex-wife would do this. Winter day, get into the cold car, turn the heater on full blast. Once it got to swealtering, turn it completely off until you start to freeze again. I tried to explain how you could gradually get to a comfortable temp but she acted like I was speaking Greek.

    Oklahoma’s registry is to track non-sex offenders since it’s an easier list to maintain.

    The correct answer is "nobody presses charges because they don't want their father/brother/uncle to go to jail".

  14. I dropped cable several years ago, not just because of ESPN but it was a big part of it. I hated the political crap but I also hated the deliberate push of women's sports. I love women, love tits and ass. I have 2 daughters, I have a great wife. I don't care about softball or women's basketball. They keep trying to make women's sports a huge deal and it's just not gonna happen. I also can't stand the way they just HAVE to toss in a hot chick on some debate show. They want to promote women in sports and "we're more than just a pretty face" but they blow it by having a random hot chick on there, like that's really where she wants to be, talking sports with the fellas. Yes, I'd rather look at Holly Saunders than Barry Melrose but eventually, she's gonna open her mouth and the whole thing is over.

    For whatever reason, I don't mind women that are commentating at an actual game, like Doris Burke. Or Dottie Pepper on a golf telecast. They sound knowledgeable and don't try to be a know it all IMO.

    I started my first job after law school and the woman who started with me was a woman (OU law school grad) who was in the last stages of denying she was a lesbian.  She came out full force a few years later, and although I have enjoyed by two kids, she's traveled the world and lived pretty damn large -- two income childless gay couples have a bit of extra spending money than us folks with kids.

    Especially in this overcrowded world, I could see being comfortable with the decision not to have kids.

    As a guy, I never ever felt there was some biological or ethical force to have kids. 

    To fuck like snakes, yes.  But not to have kids.

    I never had a desire to have kids. My then-wife wanted kids, I went along with it because I figured that's what you do. I bet there's a lot of guys that had kids because their wives wanted it and they just went along with it.

    Ha, no.  My kids are wonderful: beautiful, well-behaved, funny, everything.  But for me, the yoke of responsibility that goes with being a parent is nearly unbearable.  The amount of worry and stress I have been under since having kids simply hasn’t been worth it so far.  I just don’t feel like I was cut out to be a parent.  It has also put a huge strain on my marriage.  My kids are still very young, so I am hopeful that once they are a little older and more independent the experience won’t be so heavy and I will be able to enjoy it a little more.

    Those heavy feelings will still be there, it will just come from a different angle. My kids are almost 18, so now I worry about auto accidents, drugs, boyfriends, etc., instead of climbing trees or sticking a fork in the outlet. It sucks, I wish I was better at controlling my feelings.
