  1. Regarding surfing, the biggest surf event in a few years went down last weekend on Oahu. The Eddie Invitational was held at Waimea Bat. They only open it up when waves are going to be big enough during the holding period to give Eddie Aikau (local surf and lifeguard legend) the respect he deserves -- at least 20 foot Hawaiian scale (35+ foot faces). First time in 7 years they held it, more than 40,000 spectators. Invited surfers get the call worldwide and have 48 hours to be on island. Biggest event in the surfing world. "Steep, deep and undaneet!"
  2. Just another day
  3. If there was any justice in that situation it would've played out like your avatar: "Did you blame the victims, or call into question their motives, in any way?" "Well, yeah, but..." "You're fired."
  4. Damn right. Hopefully we get atop the conference here in a minute or so...
  5. Yep. This is a crucial game for that reason. And osu isn't exactly a pushover.
  6. My absolute favorite part of Surly.
  7. Fence guy -- not the asshole, get the money or the new fence 17 items guy -- definitely the asshole, quit breaking the rules and then playing the victim
  8. I mentioned upthread that I saw the same tour in Houston at Rice Stadium. As I recall Dokken got a bit rained out which was fine, because they sucked. Metallica came out and destroyed everything. Security was blasting the crowd with hoses and water to keep us all alive during their set. Scorps were great on that particular night and the crowd was super into their set. VH tore it up of course. The midday stadium-wide trash fight was clearly the big winner that day, however.
  9. I don't get this take. There's no one else parked in the curbside spaces. There are plenty of spaces to choose from if someone ordered curbside. In a busy location it's a dick move, but when there's no real demand I don't see why they can't be used. So the argument that the OP's time is more valuable than another customer's is negated -- there is no other customer. Also, the reality is that full curbside parking doesn't inconvenience customers whatsoever. If you order curbside, and all of the curbside spaces are taken when you get there, you just park in a normal space and tell them to come to your space instead. It might inconvenience the worker (who is getting paid to walk your shit to and from the store), but not the customer.
  10. Surly never disappoints. I was just thinking about the OP's predicament last night when I went to the pet store to get dog food, and was wondering if there would be a thread about it. This site is like the real-time Seinfeld writer's den. It was about half hour before closing, parking lot deserted. I debated about parking in one of the 6 curbside delivery spots until I realized it was idiotic not to park in one of those spaces. I was gone within 4 minutes, and no cars showed up. I think those spaces have outlived their utility as I've never seen them fully utilized at any time of day. Grocery stores and some restaurants are exceptions; curbside delivery spots make sense there.
  11. Your mom's an old beat up Landcruiser, HEY-OOOOO
  12. I remember a thread on the old site arguing about what a reasonable tip is for carry out. Derka I'm pretty sure you were giving out good advice on that thread too. It was the most divisive thread this side of Applewhite vs Simms.
  13. yeah, but that's only counting national championships and shit
  14. sleeping in the prototypical chalk outline pose, very impressive
  15. No Stairway, but Slayer's bass player / vocalist is allowed to play whatever he wants
  16. Okay maybe this is better -- it's a great and inexpensive product to get old wax off your surfboard
  17. Hey we get snow on top of Mauna Kea like twice a year
  18. https://www.amazon.com/FROSTBLOCKER-Winter-Windshield-Mirror-Storage/dp/B088XS7JRM/ref=asc_df_B088XS7JRM?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79989591056171&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583589117454158&psc=1 No more scraping icy / snowy windshields
  19. It's early, but that seems like the kind of gritty win that will pay off big down the line in conference and post-season play.
  20. Please help me understand the context for this. I'm praying it's a gag, or -- even better -- an actual quote from TexAgs.
  21. Visited Albania this summer. It was awesome. But not one woman looked remotely like Miss Albania.
