  1. Robin Hood has a run in with the Sheriff of Nottingham and through cunning and wit publicly humiliates the sheriff and his men and flees back to the forest. The sheriff and his men set a trap and capture Robin Hood and sentence him to the gallows. I can't wait to see how he escapes this one.
  2. Seems like Chicago has many bad people. Ideally, local/regional leadership would get together with local/regional law enforcement and plan a strategy to fix the bad people issue but that's not going to happen; too much to ask of the leadership, politics and all. Might as well arm the population and hope they take out a few bad actors. That is a strategy...
  3. Definitely not a schnitzel girl...
  4. Nothing says "GET OFF MY LAWN" like a 3-inch .20 gauge load of rock salt. Is your driveway asphalt?
  5. More strange from the article above: Shatner's disdain for the officer's actions was not limited to one comment. He went on to point out the infamous 2019 incident where a Lethbridge police officer euthanized a deer by repeatedly running it over with his vehicle.
  6. Capt Kirk rallies the Trekies to the Star War's defense: William Shatner blasts Lethbridge police takedown of woman in stormtrooper costume https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/william-shatner-blasts-lethbridge-police-takedown-of-woman-in-stormtrooper-costume-1.4927714
  7. Yes, brought that to the wife's attention, we'll never hit the deductible if we source outside the insurance plan. But when we were used to a $10-$15 co-pay for so many years it's a tough pill to swallow. /pun intended/
  8. So my company dropped the insurance carrier we've been using for the last ten years and switched to a new carrier this year. My wife & I glossed over the prescription coverage when we selected a new plan and we found out last month, the hard way, it has a deductible to meet before coverage kicks in. We literally had to go back to the doctor and they helped find an online place to order for less than half the cost of the local pharmacy. Has anyone ever use GoodRx to buy scripts and does it really work? My wife was checking some of the costs and they were substantially less. Seems too easy so the warning alarm is going off. In the mean time I will send a strongly worded message to our company's "voice of the workforce" about company provided insurance. /sarcasm, strong/
  9. When we lived in Georgetown we had scorpions, spiders, ants, etc. getting in the house. I started buying insect killer for lawns (granules, not spray), sprinkled in my flower beds around my house every other month or so and they pretty much disappeared except for the occasional dead one we'd find. I also mixed in the fire ant stuff when I fertilized and it kept the fire ants in the neighbor's yards and out of mine.
  10. If Kansas and Baylor have number one seeds locked up don't expect them to put out much effort in the conference tournament.
  11. SS's strategy is unfolding now. He wants to defend his NIT crown or add a CBI to his trophy case.
  12. You know, the first year after Hakeem Olajuwon came over from Nigeria he could not make a 2-ft jump shot to save his life. Guy Lewis had him stand in front of the basket and told him if anyone brought the ball to the basket to block the shot, and if they missed to rebound the ball. If he got the ball under the basket to dunk it or pass it to his teammates. Look where that got him. Guy Lewis was a fucking genius...
  13. His punishment depends on if he is good or really, really, really good (and deserves a 2nd chance).
  14. Raleigh, NC. research triangle
  15. I don't thing my wife would break into anyone's vehicle BUT I wouldn't put it passed her to break out a window before checking to see if the door was unlocked if she thinks it's an emergency.
  16. Brotha...isn't this part of the reason we have this thread? Wives will always somehow manage to defy all laws of reason, physics, nature, etc. And she had her friend with her who is also married (a wife).
  17. Yes, I keep the second fob and the extra spare key. You think I would give my wife two fobs?
  18. Locking keys in the car... How many times have you had to deal with this? It's happened at least a half dozen times in 24 years of being married but this event goes like this: I'm about 20 minutes from finishing the day in the office, on the phone with one of guys on the east coast getting an update on a customer meeting and my cell rings and I see it's the wife so I put him on hold to answer. M: Hey. What's up? H: (panic) I LOCKED MY KEYS IN THE CAR. You need to come unlock my car. M: OK, let me get off this call and I'll head over. She's across town with one of her friends watching the state cheer competition, normally a 20-25 min drive but at late afternoon probably a 35 min drive. I get off the call and start grabbing my stuff to head out and my cell/wife rings again. H: Never mind, I got inside the car and you don't have to drive over. M: Great! How did you get in? H: Well, I guess we forgot to lock the passenger door... Part of me was relieved I didn't have to spend 1.5 hours in traffic and part of me was WTF.
  19. As Kansas started dribbling out the clock while holding a 22-point lead in the final seconds, Kansas State’s DaJuan Gordon stole the ball and started dribbling down the court in an effort to secure one last layup. Kansas’ Silvio De Sousa, however, sprinted behind Gordon and came up with a massive block as he attempted the layup, sending Gordon down into the baseline. Almost instantly, both teams swarmed the scene on the baseline, which sparked the wild brawl that spilled down into the crowd and media section underneath the basket. Several punches were thrown in the incident, and De Sousa even picked up a chair at one point, though it was taken away from him before he could do anything with it.
  20. Anyone watching? Both benches emptied near the end of game and all were ejected leaving only the 10 on the floor to finish the game.
  21. Knock out 2020 this weekend. Probably peaked too early and hit my quota for the year (married 24 years). See you guys in 2021...
