  1. Where do you all put the Sniffing Accountant in the episode rankings?
  2. Big gulps, huh? Alright! Still use that to this day whenever I can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. What happened, Harry? Some little filly break your heart?
  4. I came across a dumbass the other day who shared this sentiment…so I’ll say to you the same basic thing I said to him. The danger in believing and spouting these kind of bullshit statements about vaccine effectiveness and “personal risks” is pretty much exactly like you saying “hey, if getting a driver’s license and obeying traffic laws lowers your personal risks of getting hurt or killed in a car accident, then you should do that and then you wouldn’t have to worry about how fast or dangerously I drive my own car.” When it comes to this virus and these vaccines….we’re all out here sharing the same road so to speak and your attitude is that things should be fine if only half the number of drivers drove safely and the other half drove recklessly. It just doesn’t work that way.
  5. The costs weren't as bad I thought they might be and there's a post near the top of this thread where the poster talked about losing out on the chance to go with his dad to COTA...and that's the kind of shit I've been thinking about for several years now. It obviously wasn't just that post that influenced me but I started talking to my dad a year or so ago when he turned 70 that if we are ever going to do these kinds of sporting events together, we need to get to them sooner than later. We're both flying to Austin and going to COTA with his nearly 80-year old brother in October, and now the two of us are going to Monaco next May. I'll consider myself eternally lucky if everything goes the way I hope it does.
  6. My personal "preference" is to rotate ONE of the dice by one side before I throw and whatever is topside is whatever it is. It takes 0.2 seconds and I'm not sure how many people even notice. I don't care what's showing but if I "stumble" on the rotation...meaning the dice fall funny in my hands or something while I pick them up...I start the whole sequence over. It's like when someone takes a cell phone picture of Tiger in his backswing. Now, I really don't care for the shooters that go through those meticulous 30-40 second "adjustments" before they throw the dice...but at the table I described a few posts up from back in April...the awesome shooter guy next to me had a solid 5-10 second routine each time before he threw the dice and clearly I'm a fan of his work.

  8. Took the plunge today and put a deposit down on a Monaco package for next year. I feel like a little kid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. The announcers said a couple things about it in passing like it was a "tough race" but yeah, he seemed ready to collapse.
  10. So, anyone happen to take Ocon at 300-1 odds or Seb at 250-1?
  11. Lewis is such a bitch.
  12. Both Williams' drivers currently in the points. When did that last happen?
  13. Anyone know of a stream for the coverage that might work for me here in Europe?

  15. I had a motherfucker try that shit on me in Delta One back in April when I went from Atlanta to Vegas of all places...after four beers he takes on the tone like my wife "another one?"
  16. I’m taking the CDC return-travel approved at-home Abbott test when I head over…after seeing an article a few weeks ago that said the Italian airports may close their on-site testing soon. We would probably be safe but I was a little concerned we may get to FCO and not be able to get a test. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. 4th of July party yesterday at a buddy's house, who lives 40 minutes across town. We go every year, and have for over a decade. And EVERY year, when we leave our house, the wife says, "you aren't going to stop to buy beer at the store right next to our house?" And EVERY year, I say "no, I won't want hot beer by the time we get there, we will stop at the store right next to his house."
  18. There’s just no stopping in a white zone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. “8 years.” That one gets me too, every thanksgiving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Text exchange with my wife earlier: Her: "You locked me out of my car" Me: "Well, that's impossible, you were literally driving it when I left." (She had to move her car because she had blocked the driveway) Her: "Well my keys are somehow locked inside." Me: "I really don't know what you tell you other than I'll be home in a couple hours." Her: "Nevermind, all the doors were locked except the driver door."
  21. Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle……..Constanza?!?!?
  22. Agree and that was my bad in fucking up what I said...I didn't mean to suggest we'd see the entire country in two weeks but we do have flexibility to really go anywhere outside of Rome and I figured a couple of stays would be very enjoyable. Venice is high on my list since I've never been although my wife has and she thinks 2-3 nights will be plenty there, which leaves roughly a week for somewhere else. Thanks for all the feedback...when y'all are hitting some of these regions like Tuscany...is a car rental an absolute must or can you get around moderately well enough between trains and cabs? When I looked at a car rental outside of Florence the rates were just absurd.
  23. Do y'all mind if I dust this thread off? Taking the family on a COVID tested flight in July for 14-15 nights. Have pretty much carte blanche as an itinerary so planning to show the kids Rome for a few days (have a killer AirBNB lined up) and then explore the rest of the country in the rest of the allotted time. Trying to finalize everything in the next week or two so I can stop worrying about it. I don't think I've ever been more excited to GTFO of the states for a vacation, though part of me really wonders what we're walking into.
  24. Look Manny, Kramer put mousse in his hair!
  25. That's kooky talk.
