  1. You all probably still don't ride the big-boy roller coasters.
  2. Still would hate bang.
  3. More the latter. And articles I've read don't simply recommend doing nothing and eating like shit in the off week. Work in some stretching and light cardio a few days, and give the weights a rest. But for some the week off provides an additional much-needed mental recharge.
  4. The Galleria Circle Festival.
  5. @NowThis liked Grimes’ post.
  6. It’s Wednesday and it’s already a non-issue for over half of the voting population that supported Trump.
  7. He’s still angry at the world because his name is Wescott Eberts.
  8. A lot of fitness gurus recommend taking about a week off of your workout routine every couple months or so. I usually try to book a vacation right around the time when I should take that break, so I go on trips without the guilt of not working out. And my typical vacation is an urban setting where I’m doing a lot of walking, often breaking 20,000 steps a day. So it’s not like I’m laying on a beach all day doing nothing. There have been a couple trips when I’ve been a week at Rosemary Beach, and I paid for a one-week pass at the local gym because we were, for the most park, laying on a beach drinking beer most of the time, and I wanted to offset that with a workout each morning. But that’s been the vacation exception for me.
  9. Keep up the good work, @TreatyOak!
  10. Pretty impressive, huh?
  11. A parachute not opening, that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine, having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
  12. It doesn't seem plausible at all because the various dickheads involved aren't sticking with that, and instead are throwing out other shit excuses (e.g., it wasn't a mistake, it wasn't classified, Hillary!).
  13. My lawn crew is looking for extra money, so I'll send those guys over to your place.
  14. Have you worn a pair of imitation Jams?
  15. My parents could only afford one pair of name-brand Jams. The rest were bo-bo's.* *Bo-bo's is the 1980s term for generic or knockoff-brand products like clothing or shoes, at least on the east coast where I grew up. Some of you will never know the humiliation of boarding the school bus and hearing others derisively shouting, "Hey, look at the bo-bo's South Austin is wearing!"
  16. Well, the world needs leaf blowers too.
  17. Ordinarily, people who drive under the speed limit annoy me. But I give all of them a pass on I35. I consider myself a pretty good and confident driver, but I white-knuckle it for some stretches on that corridor of hell. My parents live in Georgetown, and even thought it's farther and subject to tolls, I usually take 130 when I visit them and avoid I35.
  18. The best worst and the brightest dumbest.
