  1. You couldn't smell it before it went down the gullet? That's brutal.
  2. This and your other post about being fucked by the roots you put down hit a little too close to home for me this morning. With 3 kids under the age of 13, a nice house, and good work/life balance, I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. My 7 year old daughter told me last week about a recurring nightmare she has as a result of "drills" they have to do at school. More than once she's had a dream that she is in the bathroom at school when the real thing they "drill" for starts and she doesn't know what to do. She said in her dream she ends up trying to be as quiet as she can and hopes the bad guy doesn't figure out she's in the bathroom by herself. Hearing it gave me a terrible mix of heartache and rage. I don't know if moving to Colorado is far enough away from this shit, but I also know that deep down I probably don't have the guts to just pull up roots and get out of this shit show in Texas. Maddening.
  3. Shot 78 in a tournament at Cowboys Golf Club yesterday. I had a 3 putt from 10 feet and doubled the last hole or it would have been one of my best rounds in a long time. The greens keeper woke up and chose violence with his pin placements though. 3 or 4 different holes where you just could not stop the ball at the hole if you missed going downhill. He had them placed a few feet from false fronts and from the edges in other spots tucked behind traps. I think watching the PGA inspired him to brutalize everyone yesterday. I was above the hole on the 10 ft/3 wiggle and went a tad bit aggressive trying to birdie - ended up with 15 feet coming back up the hill. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled really well.
  4. I still have my RDCanecutter originals right here on my desk.
  5. Thank you. I needed a good belly laugh this morning.
  6. Oh I'm sure tens of MAGATs will tune in for Pence over Dotard. eta: They will never love you Mikey. In fact, they will hate you no matter what you do. Do the right thing for the sake of the country.
  7. OMFG! Just perfect. Has there ever been a better moniker given than Meatball Ron? Fuck you Trump, but props on that one. JFC
  8. I still enjoy fishing with it. It's whippy as hell and you can almost load it like a fly rod to shoot out certain baits. But then I pick up a Loomis or one of my Kistler pool cues and have to totally reset.
  9. I won a Curado and a 7 ft All Star Shrimp Tail Special at a CCA banquet when I was in high school and I still have it. It was the first good rig that I ever owned and it's got tons of red fish on the wall and I caught what is still my PR bass on it too.
  10. Lew's fan here as well. I've still got a couple of the old round green Curados from the late 90s that I use for big heavy cranks or for cat fishing, but had spotty luck on a couple of newer ones ~10 years ago. I never been able to bring myself to pony up for the top of the line Shimano reels though. I've bought Daiwa or Lew's the last few times I needed a new reel and have been really impressed by the Lew's. I got this one a few weeks ago out of the bargain bin on Tackle Warehouse and it can sling a swimbait farther than I need it to. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Mach_2_SLP_Series_Casting_Reels/descpage-M2SL.html
  11. I don't understand it all as much as you do, but I REALLY don't understand how the fundamentals mean fuckall at this point. Unless oil has become a leading indicator of the economy and we are headed for real trouble with issues in banking + inflation finally pushing us into a painful recession. Porterhouse has been trying to speak $100/bbl into existence for a long time on here now. It won't become true just because you keep typing it...
  12. This right here. I'm not at all surprised he put these thoughts into writing - he really believes that shit. I wonder if Fox leaked this as a shot across the bow? What else is redacted that they are holding back if 'lil Tuck continues to poke the bear?
  13. I gotta be honest, the same thought crossed my mind, but I resisted the urge. I'm an oak.
  14. IBRX with a nice move up today. I'm only down 77% now!
  15. Kinda the whole point here. And when legislation is proposed that would require the USSC to establish their own ethics code, Turtle shoots that down as an attempt by the left to tear down the "conservative" justices. We can't even ask them to formally police themselves with a binding code, nope, that's a witch hunt! ETA - you make a fair point though and I was actually under the impression that they were required to disclose such things. I see there's a place on the disclosure form (linked in your NYT article) for listing the buyer, but all of these were blank on Gorsuch's form.
  16. Right. Just smear shit all over the place and then people won't even be annoyed by the stench. Well, it does smell a little funny, but I don't see any shit stains on Gorsuch himself, so what's the big deal? Fuck that, we should be concerned and investigate any time we smell something foul.
  17. This. It's a mighty big coincidence - ESPECIALLY when you consider that he forgot to disclose it. Oops! I think some of you have become desensitized to fuckery. There are certainly degrees of fuckery and this isn't nearly as egregious as Thomas' numerous issues, but this is still out and out fuckery.
  18. Go big or go home. https://a.co/d/e13m4ah I've had a Toto Washlet for going on 6 years and it's still going strong.
