  1. I really like this Houston team, as bad as they were tonight. I am even starting to like Dillon Brooks. They play hard, and physical. I know a lot of people hate on the Dubs but just as a fan of the game, there is little more enjoyable to watch these days than Wardell going Wardell. I hope Beef Stew can play tomorrow. I'd like that series to not be over in 5.
  2. Disclaimer. Can't stand Portnoy or BS and won't consume their content. My nephews however are Seniors in HS and insisted we hit this place in St. Pete Beach that he apparently rated highly. It was very good. Garlic knots were to die for.
  3. Ok so I was thinking about it. It's been a few years since I tried to do a brisket on my Primo and I remembered why I stopped doing it. The bottom would burn up. I kept temps low but I had the same issue enough that I stopped. I don't know if it is a product of the Primo design, or the insert plate or what. I'm just going to say keep the fat cap thick and cook it fat cap down. But seriously french dressing.
  4. Cut it in two and finish it in the oven. Baste liberally in French dressing. If you don't have French, Thousand Island will do.
  5. Ja goes down hard. Great shot making down the stretch by the Knicks. KAT is unguardable when he wants to be. Terrible decision making by the young Jalen Durham on the jump ball and inbound pass. Young fella gotta grow from this. Maybe I'm biased but I'm still taking Cade over Brunson if only because he's much more fun to watch.
  6. Hey Reg his name is Jalen DurEN
  7. Doesn't seem like it is handling the NFL draft traffic very well.
  8. Kuminga sighting.
  9. They did a terrible job casting Abbey. In the video game she was a 6 ft 7 black man.
  10. Beasley is hilarious.
  11. Fair. I got hooked into the show with the intro in the pilot and then bought the game because I was liking the show. I actually stopped playing the game because it was spoiler tagging the show. She does look like a potato. But I think she's a pretty good actor and liked her in Thrones, too.
  12. But can you please elaborate? Is there really a crowd of Joel worshippers out there, even after his murderous rampage of innocent people who were trying to save humanity? All because Ellie has a forehead that you could fit an aircraft carrier on?
  13. Brunson is painful to watch with his whistle hunting on every single action. It is obvious that they are trying to play into Detroit's physical rep and get some beneficial calls. Not very pleasant basketball to watch. I thought JBB made a nice adjustment putting Tobias into KAT to keep Duren in the game with Stew out. Game 3 at LCA should be fun, wish I could go. Why do my weiner kids have so many damn after school activities that require me to drive them everywhere and spend stupid money on them.
  14. No Beef Stew for Detroit. How fast will Duren foul out? Halftime?
  15. I'll be that guy. I like Ellie and fuck Joel. You expect her to kiss his ass for 'saving' her? She knows.
  16. One thing that I can testify to is that you should hang out with them now instead of your me time. In a few years they won't want to hang out with you all the time anymore, even if you're not an asshole. We still hang out sometimes, sure, but there's nothing like those early years. When they hit middle school childhood might as well be over. The pre/teen years hit a little different.
  17. First you must procure Scentsy. Then you can barter the Scentsy for reactions.
  18. The tracker says there are 100 votes and they have about 1/3 of them in the house. SGA is at 19 first place votes vs 11 for Joker. The cumulative points are closer but it still appears that this one is going to go to SGA. Other early observations with fewer votes counted - looks like DPOY is going to be Mobley. COTY and 6th man are runaways for Atkinson and Pritchard. ROY landslide Castle. MIP is Dyson Daniels with Zubac close behind. Cade Cunningham distant 3rd. All NBA is damn near unanimous with the top 4 (not even going to bother to list) and looks like Mitchell will probably take the 5th spot. 2nd team still fluid but looks like it will have Bron and Ant for sure and probably some combo of Steph, Cade, Mobley, Brunson or KAT.
  19. Counterpoint: this current challenge
  20. Thank you. That is at least somewhat reassuring. I guess I should not plan on any 3 margarita lunches and letting the wife DD. The policia would actually be indebted to me for getting behind the wheel smashed rather than unleashing her to wreak havoc on their roads.
  21. Thanks again to all. Really excited for this trip. We are doing the first 4 nights on IM at Ixchel which looks perfect for us, and the last 3 nights I booked at an Airbnb in Puerto Aventuras. The plan is to check out the cenotes and the ruins. I've re-read the entire thread and it seems like many here have rented cars and had no issues. But given Rod's warning and knowing my luck and not having any Spanish speakers in my party etc I'm pretty leery. I am pretty cautious on a family vacation and don't like putting myself in a position where I may not be in control of the outcome. Should I be second guessing this, this much? What even would be my alternative outside of taxis which also don't always seem to be on the up and up, either. Is it an option to arrange a private transportation service from the ferry to Puerto Aventuras, and another each day to deliver us to a tour departure checkpoint and back, and then again another on the last day to take us back from PA to the airport in Cancun? Seems kind of ridiculous and costly. Or just get the max insurance on a rental and pray I don't get pulled over or into any kind of situation? I will happily pay off a cop if it comes to it but just would prefer to avoid as many unknowns as possible.
