  1. Steve Lukather is amazing. But when EVH strolls in and blasts out that all-time legendary solo in one fucking take, you have a runaway winner right there.
  2. The correct nomenclature is "shave ice," you sad hapless rubes. And the correct flavor is POG (passion - orange - guava).
  3. Gotta swing in that at bat, dude.
  4. Belizean Mennonite talk not going away. I just find it fantastic that the Central American nation of former British Honduras has a bunch of German speaking Mennonites living in Spanish Lookout. That's absurd. But then again, this is the aggy thread, so there should be no surprises anymore.
  5. They also supply the entire country with chicken, milk, eggs, tires, and I think construction materials from their main enclave called Spanish Lookout, which looks like remarkably Pennsylvania farm country cut right into the Central American rainforest. You access the farm via a hand-drawn ferry, which takes you to one of the most popular restaurants in the entire country. Belize is a curious country.
  6. We had our first 3-month old in our first apartment in Honolulu. The people upstairs were having a small party and watching SNL, and they were laughing and having a good time. I was totally sleep deprived (3-month old will do that to you) and the noise was drifting into our apartment. As anyone with an infant knows, your decision-making is pretty well fucked after several nights of bad sleep and general exhaustion. So I stormed upstairs, knocked on the door, and really let them have it. I mean I was a real dick about it. They quieted down but honestly they weren't even doing anything wrong in the first place. I went upstairs the next day after getting some decent sleep and apologized. The guy wasn't super excited to see me again, but I didn't blame him. I still feel bad about that, but at least now I have some empathy for new parents and all of the shit they have to deal with.
  7. Agreed, but it's hard for me to fault somebody's decision-making in that split second. Seems like a natural instinct to just start running. I say that because I probably would've just pissed myself in a frozen position and then gotten obliterated. That cop needs to be grateful for every minute he has going forward in his life.
  8. BJ Foster has a motor that won't quit, you should expect to see him give 110% on every play
  9. For some reason the occasion to use that line spoken in that voice comes up a lot in my life. I use it frequently.
  10. Admitted thrash apologist here, but I think these guys are fucking great. Breakdown at 2:43 is a neck crusher:
  11. I love traveling -- just got back from a family trip to see our son in Croatia -- but getting back into your own bed after extended time away is a special slice of heaven.
  12. The day is young
  13. You mean within the last couple of days?
  14. Burning trash out back behind the house. Family vacations were by car to visit family in Beaumont. Never stayed in a hotel or a motel until I was in college, unless I went on vacation with friends. My dad remodeling our house in south Austin on a hillside and using cinder blocks to prop up the master bedroom and living room.
  15. "Applebees or Noodles and Co?" "Thanks, turns out I forgot to pretend that I have work out early tomorrow morning."
  16. "I'm not wasting much time on this on my Sunday evening..." /Proceeds to write six paragraphs
  17. My pick is Hedberg, but the also-ran list is strong: Carlin, Norm, Shandling, David Brenner, Rodney When Steve Martin eventually dies, he will be tops on my list. All-time fave.
  18. Weaver is that player that other teams can't stand. I love that he's coming back. Immediately my favorite player on next year's roster.
  19. Yes, you're right -- 3rd in the Southern, losing his last three by an average of 14 points. I mean I know Alberts is a top-shelf dipshit, but going down the list of potential candidates that far really is pathetic even by their standards.
