  1. He might be filled with hate over the tree taking him out, but it's still an irrational mindset that belies sociopathy. It was a fucking tree limb. You drew the short straw, Wheels.
  2. Sure they do. That team wasn't 'bama Strong early in the 2023 season. They would have waxed tu by December. QED.
  3. I think you're onto something here. Tito's? Dell?
  4. I don't care what they call it, we're the team with the power -- 103 home runs to 65 for Kansas. Tear the damn thing down.
  5. Wife tried to tough it out w/o an epidural for daughter #2. She eventually caved. They administered the epi last minute, and it was a pretty painful birth, regardless. Then they started with the stitches. Turns out the epi only blocked one side. Oops. New adventures in 10/10 pain. Still had to pay that guy like $5K because he magically wasn't "in network".
  6. lulz. "Leaky pipes are a gift". Never change, Austin.
  7. Yep, ~ 1.3" here (360/2222). Better than nothing.
  8. Do we REALLY need the batter's eye?
  9. Yeah, Reagan was despicable for negotiating a delay in the hostage release, but all was wiped out once he got shot and became some sort of American hero. I got suckered in by that, too. I'm not proud of it.
  10. Asking her to sign the Beetlejuice playbill is fucking genius.
  11. Well, if we're down to Shedrick and Onyema, that doesn't seem best for us. Maybe I missed someone.
  12. The huge dump in oil (& gasoline) prices Spring 2020 was mostly due to plummeting demand largely related to the pandemic. Russia & Saudi Arabia slashed production, but still generated excess supply, and that pushed prices further down. It certainly had little to do with Trump, although he claimed credit (and pissed off a lot of O&G guys in the process).
  13. I don't mind the chart, although I'm always skeptical of channels, troughs, etc. But it really isn't very germane to this thread. Then again, threads go off topic all the time, so surly?
  14. Or playing Georgia once every 12 years (and counting).
  15. I spent 3 days there. We took a night cruise on Lake Lucerne, and they brought out one of those long wooden Alpine horns (think "Ricola"). They parked the boat off some cliffs and the guy played a duet with his own echo. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
  16. I know Mitchell has holes in his game, but it feels like he'd still be vital if Toppin goes pro or transfers elsewhere. Is his potential transfer really a vote of no confidence for RT? Is this an NIL issue? Other?
  17. Well, now I need to check out some Goth Babe.
  18. I got to see Carter once when I was a boy. Believe it or not, he was at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. My sister and I had been parked in the Cabinet Room by my uncle who was a higher up in the Secret Service. He went to ask Carter's security detail if we could meet the President . . . no dice. Pretty cool experience, anyway.
  19. A lot of folks I went to HS with are Trumpy MAGA types. We sometimes cross paths on Facebook. When Trump was in office and I pointed out one indefensible action or another, they would always ask "how's your retirement account doing?" Now if anyone mentions the market they come back with "the stock market isn't the economy, dummy".
  20. Good call. google says they were #7 when we (#2) beat them 72-67 in Austin (12/1/22).
  21. It literally took 2 minutes googling @BrickHorn's first reference to see the differing judicial rulings involved. Illinois state court ruled in favor of the school board, Illinois Supreme Court affirmed, US Supreme Court overturned. Sure, there's no nuance here.
  22. Lulz. You're letting a message board push you farther right. Way to stand your ground, Chomsky.
