  1. I think it’s mainly the aspect of kids, and the innocence of young kids away from home at a summer camp. I don’t think as many of us would be so emotional about this if the victims would have all been adults saying at some riverside RV park.
  2. My wife and I were privately talking about that yesterday. There might be some truth to it. But I recall just as much, if not more, heartbreak and outrage over the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, where most of the victims were Hispanic. And I think the fact that there were no real consequences from that school shooting had little to do with the demographic of the victims, and more because as a nation we've demonstrated time and again that we don't care enough about dead kids to seriously consider halfway reasonable gun regulations.
  3. Wrong. In addition to thoughts and prayers, we never forget.
  4. That’s where you and I are different. Nobody in the category of MAGA dipshit is a friend of mine.
  5. If like to see the murder rates the few years before Omar was killed.
  6. This was after my divorce, and if I hadn’t started dating my current wife at the time, I would’ve made a move on Kelly. Who am I kidding. No I wouldn’t have.
  7. I’ve always had a little bit of a crush on Kelly Willis. When my daughter was a freshman on the McCallum basketball team Kelly’s daughter was a senior. I was on a booster club Zoom call with her and made a joke that got a laugh out of her. #csb
  8. Thanks @phdhorn. We’ve missed you,
  9. Hold on . . . are you telling us your wife doesn’t know who Stevie Ray Vaughan was ?!?!?!?! The news on this thread keeps getting worse.
  10. Aside from the financial hit, it seems like there would be too many painful memories associated with it.
  11. I’m sorry for the painful conversation you’ll have with your daughter. I just can’t imagine.
  12. It’s right on the Quadulupe.
  13. The chapter’s already been written, Marcel. We know how it ends.
  14. Pouring in 78759 right now, and as irrational as it is to ascribe human traits to Mother Nature, this all feels so cruel.
  15. Got through The Bears yesterday, the wedding episode. It felt a little contrived, because they brought back so many extras and every aspect of the episode was positive instead of the usual conflict and dysfunction. But it was damn good, and my wife was crying at the end.
  16. He bakes his brisket. He ain’t doing shit.
  17. You should’ve diced some jalapeños and put them in the dip.
  18. Your oversized font sucks donkey taint.
  19. Help me, Alexandria. You're my only hope.
  20. These aren't the droids lesbians we're looking for.
  21. Starting to pour downtown.
  22. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. On second thought . . . .
