  1. If you're putting something together then I'd probably be interested in a portion. Unless you're wanting one person to do the full $30K, which wouldn't be me.
  2. I think his newer stuff like Billy Summers shows he's lost a bit of it when writing young characters. He did a great job with The Long Walk, but of course he was a kid when he wrote it. Finished Under the Dome and loved it. I like a big, epic, cast of characters.
  3. NYC Marathon is today.
  4. Can't say Wemby isnt emotionally invested. Team seems to have some great old man chemistry going.
  5. I did the same thing looking beer in Vancouver this summer. Not for sale in the grocery store and had to go to a liquor store.
  6. I used to run with a black guy and one day he stopped in the middle of our run and said, "You know you're white, and I have one question about white people that I've never had answered. What's up with birdwatching?" I didn't have an answer for him other than, "Yeah, shit, that does seem weird now that I think about it."
  7. Google maps makes it seem alright today. Weekends also look pretty nice being 3hrs from NYC, 1 from Providence, 2 to Boston, 3 to the Hamptons, 3 to Martha's Vineyard, 4 to Philadelphia, etc... It would take me a few years to get through all of that.
  8. Technically it has more gross tonnage.
  9. Well, it's like the Capulets and the Montagues
  10. TV's Frank? What's next, Dr. Clayton Forrester for President?
  11. Just sticking it to the Japs in ways that that limp wristed haberdasher from Missouri couldn't dream of.
  12. My god, not speaking the language of my neighbors sounds like a dream.
  13. Oh yeah it won't be right, but it'll be good.
  14. These nuts are really solid to use as a base for making actual Chongqing Chicken, so thanks for the rec.
  15. They serve more people faster, but I think I still spend more time there to get bad chicken than I do as the only car in the Popeye's DT.
  16. Leading by 3 points in the race for the governorship.
  17. Alright I've bought the Yaks for my land in Zapata County. When does the money train start?
  18. My CEO would rather get shot in the face than hand off negotiations to anyone. I've seen him do everything from capturing a bank robber with a shotgun in the parking lot to him refusing to pay $50 to a vendor because they delayed a delivery by a week 6 months ago.
  19. Hilarious, also TechPod was talking about robots in the house a few weeks back. They were in agreement that humanoid style robots are going to stay sci-fi for the foreseeable future. Having more roomba style robots that do one task well is the cheaper and more efficient path. The headaches of a giant robot wandering around and breaking stuff then falling on your dog and killing it are much more realistic than a robot maid that you can fuck.
  20. They must've lost all that Local on the 8s soundtrack money, sad.
  21. That PBS quiz was quite good for pinning me at 27 points. Have I "run lambs" in preparation for the Matagorda County fair as a kid the same week as fishing off of a pier and being lectured to by the future leader of the Southern Baptist Convention on the virtues of attending Liberty University? You bet your ass I have. Do I now find myself selecting wines based upon what part of Spain they come from while arguing with strangers on the internet of the historiographical chops of Richard Hofstadter? Why yes, yes, I do. Middle ass class raising now pretending to be upper middle.
  22. We ain't working anyone over this year.
  23. Don't know about 190+, but it is insane out there.
  24. Kornet, the horse glue of Bexar County.
  25. I like Collin Murray-Boyles but bro you need more than courage to full court press Wemby.
