  1. This season is very weird. Odd dialogues and exchanges that seem out of place. The whole Jelly Roll scene as some kind of misguided prank on Dwight for example. And I still resent them trying to make the bar owner guy the next Elvis.
  2. Every time I've counted on a 1-3 deck shoe, I get unlucky and still lose my bets when I press and the count is high. And I usually didn't have enough bankroll to let the statistics self correct my chip stack over time. The martingale system is hilarious, though. Back in the day, I was over my number and I told my bookie I was just going to keep doubling my bet until I won. He said ok your new limit is $1k. Doh.
  3. This is incorrect. He died because he was the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.
  4. @chainsaw Found the pac when the same ad started littering my Twitter feed. As I suspected, it's a fake Pro Kamala ad. Turns out they are running similar ads that paint her as Pro Palestinian in areas with high populations of Jewish people. https://jewishinsider.com/2024/09/future-coalition-pac-kamala-harris-microtargeting-muslim-jewish-voters/ Michigan does have a bit of an Arab problem. On the Christian side they are all Pro Cheeto because they have long been single issue voters tied to the abortion issue. On the Muslim side they are pissed at Biden about Israel and for some reason think that Trump is going to be less Pro Netanyahu, which I cannot understand. I still think we will be firmly blue come November but stuff like the Mayor of Hamtramck publicly endorsing Trump continues to amaze me. https://www.wxyz.com/news/voices/hamtramck-residents-react-to-mayor-amer-ghalib-endorsing-donald-trump
  5. Is anyone else seeing the Kamala changes her mind a lot, but one thing she hasn't and won't change her mind on is Israel commercial during football? It is playing itself as a Pro Harris ad but seems very back handed with the "compliments" if not subtle insults. Then it dawned on me that there is a large contingent of Arabs in my metro area. Interesting. I looked for the ad on YT but couldn't find it.
  6. Someone hasn't been watching First Take. That's Caitlin Clark.
  7. Yeah when he opens the freezer it cracks me up. On the other side of the coin are the Kevin Hart Draft Kings spots. I'm not even a Kevin Hart hater but man. Just shut up already.
  8. That Skyrizi commercial with the dude grinning from ear to ear while flying a kite with his kid in a patch of grass located within a mountainous paradise is the weirdest shit I've ever seen. I felt like I must have been high watching it.
  9. My grandpa used to let me finish his Miller Lites when I would visit them in Florida when I was like 4 or 5. I liked the taste of it. One time back home I discovered a can of Miller Lite in the garage that had liquid in the bottom and took a big swig. Gasoline. Some might say that this explains a thing or two.
  10. As Briscoe would say, I just had a pifane about why I'm digging the W so much this season.
  11. Weird hill Derka. It's hoops during the off-season. If you don't find it entertaining don't watch it. Game was chippy as fuck tonight. Would have like to have seen the hand shake lines.
  12. Excellent! If they're anything like their big cousins, you will have a great friend that follows you around like a baby duckling for the next decade plus. Congrats on the addition. Charlie. RIP 2016ish
  13. Yep that's how I wound up with Trixie. We did a big time remodel and it was always kind of in the back of my head that I would get another dog this summer when the project was done. In the immediate aftermath though I was cash strapped and exhausted, plus we had a 10 day family vacation coming in July. To the other point re breed, my last dog was a beautiful Greater Swiss with papers. I kind of wanted to get another Swissy, but now was not the time to drop 3k on a dog. I've always been intrigued with Anatolians and I made the mistake of looking at Petfinder one night on my phone. I love large breeds, and I saw about 75 miles away there was a litter of rescue Anatolian/mastiff mixes. Sent an email, and 3 weeks later... You know the rest.
  14. I'm very proud of the fact that I invested pretty heavily in my leagues in the best offenses in the league. Yep, that's right, Carolina, Denver, Miami, Jacksonville and New England.
  15. Oh you would have thrown a brick through your TV. Javonte has turned into basically their 2nd down pass catching back.
  16. I am definitely playing BT Jr as my WR3. I am definitely playing Akers as my RB2. I think I'm going to pay Worthy as my flex because I have a feeling in my bones. Sidebar. Last year in this league I drafted Jayden Reed for a buck in the late rounds. I watched him in college and had a feeling he could make an impact. I think I got impactful points from him one week, despite him scoring 8 TDs or whatever. You just couldn't start him every week, even as a flex. He would go two weeks with zero touches and then have 2 TDs on 4 touches. This is what I think the Worthy roller coaster is going to be like this year.
  17. We seem to have taken bad gambles on a lot of the same players. Unfortunately my league is 12 teams. 😭😭 Well Fantasy Pros is telling me to bench BT Jr and Javonte, start Akers and Worthy, and to play Chuba Hubbard in my flex.
  18. Start a thread on the Food board about Salt Lick, TAMU and It's a Small World and if Phlegm doesn't appear within 30 seconds he sleeps with the fishes. In all seriousness, I think that was the only dude I had on ignore on the old site due to his posting style giving me seizures. Did not ignore him after the migration and he turned out to be a really good dude who gave me some great Disney advice when my kids were younger. I believe he was a tram driver at Epcot. Hope he is still around and doing well.
  19. I'm so sorry to hear that @Pato del Muerto RIP to the good boy and girl.
  20. I need to start 1 RB, 1 WRTE and 1 Flex from the following. PPR and 10 pt RuRe TD. Akers @ Minnesota (Mixon is doubtful and Pierce is out) Javonte @ TB Brian Thomas Jr @ Buf on MNF X Worthy @ Atl on SNF I'm leaning towards sitting Javonte but with this format 5 dump offs from Nix or a goal line TD is going to get me 15 points. I think it's between him and Worthy.
  21. The guys on NFL daily were unanimous this week with Seattle over Miami.
  22. Seriously. I'm 10 minutes in and concentrating on the subtitles. He sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles.
  23. I like those changes. How many object to $100 buy in? Just Dutch? If it's only 1 or 2 I'd be happy to kick in the extra $25 so long as if you finish in the money the $25 gets donated to charity. Unless it's the Human Fund.
  24. None of my buddies irl like the NBA but if we need people I can post it on the MSU on3 hoops board. Let me know. Are we sticking with the format?
