  1. Heading out for first weekend of March Madness, first time doing that. Staying at Harrah's. I'm a member of the March Madness in Las Vegas Facebook group which has a ton of info about watch parties, sports books, etc. but I'm looking for any first hand experience y'all have from that weekend. We have one afternoon booked at Top Golf in the top floor cabanas and are thinking we'll probably wander the Linq area one afternoon and probably hit downtown one night. Any specific experiences/watch parties that y'all recommend?
  2. Yup. I told my wife about that possibility and I've never seen her giggle so much. Would be glorious.
  3. Fair enough, although I might have to hate you now for making me think of Camille and naked at the same time.
  4. I've always enjoyed Camille's shtick. She usually provides 5 minutes of overly intellectual masturbatory but entertaining reading, at least one thing I completely agree with and at least several that I completely disagree with. What's not to like?
  5. Man he has a lot more patience with idiots than I do

    I want OU

    In order for us to play OU they would have to win next Friday, and I want them to lose ever fucking single game they play. So bring on WV.
  7. Oh boy. Shits about to go down. You just know it.
  8. As someone who voted Dem in reliably Republican Midland County, I think I can pretty safely say that more than anything folks out here are simply straight ticket Republican voters. They look at you like you're an absolute loon if you even suggest the idea of voting for anyone who's not a republican. I don't care how good the Democratic candidate was, or even how conservative he was, I think it would be nearly impossible to cut into that straight ticket margin. I would list the issues that I heard discussed by all of my Republican friends and co-workers, in order, as follows: 1) Guns 2) Immigration/caravan (lots of subtle and not so subtle racism in these comments) 3) General jabs at liberals/SJWs/MeToo/liberal women/Kavanagh, etc. I'm sure religious conservatism and abortion underlie a lot of the undying devotion to the Republican brand, but those weren't hot topics of discussion this go round.
  9. I remember 2016. It’s gonna be a long night folks. Don’t get too worked up.
  10. Yup. I tried to have a political discussion with my father in law a month back and some of the first words out of his mouth were about how the Democrats are going to take away his medicare and social security. We just had to agree not to discuss politics any more. I was dumbfounded at the disconnect from reality.
  11. So looking at Zork's numbers above, it's really interesting to me that about 30% of the voters have never voted in a primary and about 10% haven't voted period. No clue about past elections, but those are some huge numbers and if they break hard for one candidate they could seriously impact the race.
  12. Lots of college basketball while scanning the internet feverishly for every scrap of election news. And beer.
  13. It’s refreshing to hear of open minded older folks who are still capable of thinking for themselves. My wife’s grandad is one as well, but they sure seem to be in the minority these days.
  14. How do you know he’s one of them browns?
  15. Yup, doing the math for my family, I think it's fair to say that in a typical election in the past we would have collectively voted something like 15-5 in favor of Republicans. That number is flipped this year. Hoping there are lots more like us, and I wonder if the polls would pick up on that sort of phenomenon. I guess we'll find out in a little over 24 hours.
  16. Pretty much describes me, my wife and most of our siblings and their families. Our parents have not made the switch, nor do I ever expect them too. If anything, this year they've dug their heels in even farther in favor of the Republicans. After all, according to my dad (via DeSouza)there are some striking parallels between Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln, don't ya know.
  17. Yeah, I was pretty much one of those dumbasses for a long, long time. It's a shame. Mostly born of ignorance, intellectual laziness, religious, family and community influence and a lot of status quo thinking. Glad I've moved on from it.
  18. Yeah, I don't see that happening. Everyone I know on both sides of the aisle except for my brother has early voted and I suspect that's not unique to my social circle.
  19. Holy shit that's good. Would love to send that to the parents, but they'd never speak to me again.
  20. You already got your "pro-life" Supreme Court justices, now go place a vote for a real Texan who actually gives a shit even if his politics are a bit different than yours. It won't kill you, it might even do some good. Vote Beto.
