  1. It's a weird flip -- progressives accusing MAGA men of not properly conforming to gender stereotypes. I'm not sure what I think about that, although they are a bunch of pussies. Oops.
  2. It's science. I've never gotten worse after buying a new guitar.
  3. You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right 'round all the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
  4. Yeah, between the fire and the gravity, holy crap!
  5. As long as the home color palette is limited to burnt orange and white, and there are no deviations from the basics (block Texas, simple longhorn logo, etc.) I don't get too bent out of shape. I always prefer stormtrooper whites on the road, no changes. Whoever came up with that cowhide idea needs to be tarred and feathered.

    Rush

    That buy plays guitar and bass lefty but drums righty.
  7. Be prepared to defend Styx' drummer around here. You are correct, Tommy Shaw is Peter Pan, the little guy just doesn't age. Well, he ages but you can't really hear it.
  8. Yes, the Chairman of the Fed is always right. We have seen that asserted on surly, shaggy etc. for decades. Sure, sure.
  9. I'm loathe to get into this, but one characteristic of western academic environments (see for instance the concept of tenure) is the freedom to hold dissenting and unpopular opinions. Personally, I think it should be pretty easy to shoot all kinds of holes in such a paper, but I certainly haven't read it. It it doesn't stand up to logical scrutiny, then the reprehensible nature of the conclusions is secondary.
  10. Reminds me of the time my buddy's alcoholic dad totaled his Caddy and claimed "that tree just jumped out into the roadway".
  11. Still have the Takamine?
  12. As I posted the other day, the impetus behind Trump's fascination with the Nobel Peace Prize:
  13. Anybody know if Cal Higgins (WKU) made his choice yet?
  14. He's still a computer genius. Reboot a computer in 5 minutes? Come on, that usually takes hours.
  15. Barron could help. According to Trump, if you turn off Barron's computer he can get it rebooted in 5 minutes. Kid's a genius.
  16. I'm clearly on the left side of CR and I have on several occasions posted good economic prints in this thread. Maybe @StassneyHorn and some of the other bois might want to pay a bit more attention. Nah.
  17. My wife and I went on a cruise when we were dating. That was the first cruise for both of us . . . and the last. I've been the recipient of surly "don't go to SF, go to SD" advice when I had a specific reason to go to SF, but man, if you can consider some other kind of vacation with your kids, I would highly recommend it. Otherwise, good luck, we're all counting on you. Let them go batshit crazy on the Amalfi Coast or some such. Check in every once in awhile.
  18. I wonder how much PTO and mandated holidays the President takes to say, oh I don't know, play golf?
  19. No problems like that at all. Weird.
  20. I just love management-speak. "Restructure, reorganization, impacted" etc. You fired them you fuckwad.
