  1. Colts needed that pick in a bad way.
  2. Good thing they aren't playing on real grass or he might get his skirt dirty. Jeez.
  3. Colts better figure out how to score some points here or it's going to get really interesting.
  4. WTF was that unnecessary roughness call? What am I missing?
  5. Update on the safe room door: We are just going to go with a regular inward swinging vault door hidden behind a regular pocket door, as was the original plan. Strike one was that the fancy "panel vault door" only swings out. Strike two was that the architect pointed out that the panel door would be more convincing if you could use regular molding around it, but you can't and in all of the installations he's seen, the supposedly "disguised" door sticks out like a sore thumb because of the big steel doorjamb surrounding it on the outside. So there.
  6. A Wilson is on my bucket list. I will regularly spend the same amount of money on a shotgun but then I still can't convince myself to spend it on a 45 auto handgun. And I really should. Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi.
  7. Does anyone here have experience with (an opinion on) this style of vault door? Looks like there are several different manufacturers. Mrs CL and I need to pick out a vault door for the safe room in our new house and our contractor recommended one of these instead of a traditional safe-type door. I'm intrigued, but a little skeptical that it would be as secure. The benefit to us is that would fit into the room better and be disguised as more of a closet door and painted instead of an obvious safe room.
  8. This is tremendous and well within the spirit of this thread.
  9. Not my wife, but somebody's wife... I'm pulling a trailer back from the ranch yesterday and pull in to a gas pump at Buccees in Temple to fill up. I'm ready to leave and the people at the pump in front of me - man and woman - walk up and get in their car (Oklahoma plates). Woman gets into the drivers seat and the brake light comes on. I'd much prefer to pull forward with the trailer, so I just sit and wait for them to leave and I'll follow them out. They futz around a little bit inside the car and her foot's on the brake the whole time. Man then gets out of the passenger side and walks over to the trash can. Her foot stays on the brake. Man gets back in the car. They sit for a few seconds, then he gets out again and walks around to the back of the car. Her foot stays on the brake. Thus far they've been sitting there for about 1-2 minutes and her foot has been on the brake the whole time. Man then gets out again and opens the back door and gets out a cup and starts shaking it. Foot stays on the brake. He gets back in the car and then she starts playing with the mirror and the radio. She finally puts on her seatbelt. Foot stays on the brake. This goes on several more seconds and then the passenger door opens and the man gets out and starts to walk back inside the store. Foot stays on the brake. As far as I could tell, she never actually started the car in the 3-4 minutes she sat there with her foot on the brake. It was still there when I decided I'd just take my chances and go ahead and try to back out after all.
  10. Apparently it has been out for a while, but I live under a rock and just saw the Snickers ad about "let's swap" for the first time and now can't stop laughing for the past 10 minutes.
  11. Plus Florida. They are going to lose at least two more. I think 7-5 is likely at this point. The only guaranteed win is UMass.
  12. Both the guard and tackle were slightly anticipating the snap every single play. I guess that's on Foster if he's not snapping it quickly enough?
  13. Didn't throw it in the end zone? Damn, jimbo.
  14. These fucks are going to be insufferable after this.
  15. Yeah, sorry, I was talking about people in Houston, which is where the comparison with Ike would have come from. But yes, sloppy on my part.
  16. I used to know a guy who claims his uncle owned a store in Homestead and that they rode out the storm together under a countertop in the store that night. The building was was made of cinder blocks and didn't collapse, but they had glass and other debris blowing on them all night. The aftermath pictures are just terrible. Ike was bad and Harvey was just more of a flood, but neither was like this.
  17. Yes, it's in the list of links above, but Jeff is already out there this morning being the hero that all of us need and it's only going to get better as the day goes on. The comments are always great, too.
  18. My god, that was absolutely the worst part post-Ike. We were lucky and just had some minor damage to our wood floors and even got a new roof out of the deal, so yes, perspective. But damn that humidity with no AC was terrible.
  19. I remember when we used to be lopsided vs OSU, too (though not as much). They'd always go, "This is our year!" and then nope. But now it is their year quite frequently.
  20. LOL - just shows how much I was paying attention then
  21. I didn’t see them looking at his knee. Must have missed that. I just saw him pull up and start hopping and grabbing at his lower leg before falling over.
