  1. Why does the Black guy get stuck with the stupid hat?
  2. I never understood why recruitniks tend to default to a total metric as opposed to average, especially on an annual basis (which is not the case here, but still). I'd rather sign a smaller class of better players than a larger class of lesser players.
  3. Heh. I used to have a very possessive wire-haired terrier named Agnes (of Dog). She was smart as hell. I bought a purebed basset hound puppy that I named Norman (Peterson). Not 24 hours into Norman's arrival I heard this howling from the other room, ran in there and Agnes was dragging him around the floor by clamping down on one of his ears with her teeth.
  4. Last I checked, APD was staffed at its highest level ever, and this was even after accounting for population.
  5. That's a lot of decades.

    Not my thing, either, especially w/o Kim Deal.
  7. Great spot. I first started going there when it was Red Tomato + Bananas (?), then I made the shift to Clay Pit, which unfortunately has started to go downhill with major recipe changes. New ownership?
  8. You're not suggesting someone might be intentionally misleading, are you?
  9. That chart is intentionally misleading, because the average MAGA mouthbreather (redundant) won't bother to see that it's citing "rates", and even if they did they wouldn't understand the implications. I should add this is all assuming the underlying data is in fact correct, which is probably not where anyone should hang their hat.
  10. I suspect Sammy would be a fun guy to hang out with, but holy hell he is an absolutely terrible songwriter. EDIT: Not bad on vocals and guitar, though.
  11. Yup. Just a few years ago they couldn't have been more adamant that Trump saved humanity via Warp Speed (even though at least one major vaccine developer chose not to participate). Now it's fake news.
  12. Last year we beat UTSA by 49 and A&M by 10. ChatGPT Graham is missing the transitive property argument of his lifetime.
  13. THAT'S what tipped you off?
  14. That depends. Is the phrase being used by some over the hill jock wearing a $5K suit and a $10K watch (and tennis shoes), waving a pen and trying to opine about the likelihood of a given upcoming game's outcome?
  15. My older dog takes Trazadone. I'm sleeping with one eye open tonight. #sandman
  16. Well, you have to understand, all those Christians who lost loved ones for decades to polio just weren't vaccinated with Jesus. Same for centuries of death due to tuberculosis, smallpox, etc. They just weren't holy enough.
  17. It has to be a mind twist for the Major acolytes who bought into the Richie Cunningham vs Eddie Haskell myth only to find out that Major was by far the shittier human being. Well, probably not. Those kind of people don't self-reflect, ever.

    I'm pretty sure it gets to an actual in box. Beyond that, no idea.

    There are some asks that are a little steep, and that's one of them. Can I interest you in an all-girl punk/grunge band?
  20. F'n A. Well done.

  22. Sam's story is a bit Rudy, a bit Vince Papale, and a bit legit. I can understand why some Texas fans deify him. He was far from a bad athlete, but he was far from an elite athlete, too. "Tough" goes a long ways. One of my HS friends was about as everyday an athlete as they come, but he was fucking relentless. Ended up having a cup of coffee in MLB when we all told him to give up baseball after high school. He was having none of that. D1 to juco back to D1 to rookie to A (you get the idea). Still coaches in the minor leagues. Some guys just don't quit, and a lot of weekend warrior types see their reflection in that.
  23. West Memphis: little known vacation gem
