  1. So everything being even, u play the idol this week just based off the fact that u could possibly win immunity OR find another idol by the next week.  Add to the fact that there is an obvious showdown between u and another and the lack of play is even more idiotic.

  2. I just truly don’t understand “group think”.  A lot of those in the cult came across as highly intelligent yet followed some random dude from India around like a bunch of brainless puppies.  I mean the guy had, what, 20 Rolls Royce’s and that’s your spiritual guru?  

  3. Stfu Klinsmann. You’re part of the reason they didn’t qualify.  You lost 2 of 4 home games and tied shitty Honduras on the road in the final round.  Plus, in round four, you drew at T&T yourself, so let’s save placing all the blame on the last game.

  4. When my friend and I first moved to Knoxville we joined a local softball league.  First game, friend is trying to throw out a guy running home.  Friend in LF; shitty guy who can’t catch playing behind the plate.  Throw hits him in the head leading to a broken skull and bleeding on the brain.  Dude almost died.  They put a metal plate in his head.

    This song brings tears to my eyes often:

     

     

    Great song.  I might be crossing signs but, was this the song featured in the doc about Whitman (tower shooter)?  If so, it really got me.

     

  6. Had never heard of the guy or his program.  Friend and I are driving back to TN in the middle of the night and I come across his show.  It was some War of the Worlds-esque shit where callers were calling in with live updates of close encounters over several major cities.  Freaked me the f out.

  7. Gotta brag on the boys today.  Last night, our extended family was playing a game on Jackbox.tv.  Basically, you're given a prompt, and you have to come up with something clever to say so that you may win the votes of those playing.  Anyway,

    Prompt:  Name the last place you'd take a girl on a first date.  5 year-old's response: Aggy bonfire.

    Prompt: Name a book that is never checked out from the library.  11 year-old's response: Aggy Pride.

    I'm raising them right.

    It was the black hole, but I thought that was the Wet n Wild in Arlington?  

    Could have been one at both.  I think I only went to Wet n Wild once or twice, after Garland’s Whitewater closed.  The slide(s) I’m speaking of we’re in Garland, middle of the park, required inner tubes, and the dang thing swayed when it was windy.  One had 3 choices: pitch black (black hole?), and two others but a can’t recall what the difference was between the other two.

    btw, my brothers and I got kicked out of the park once.  I had found a way to stop on the first turn of the “green” slide.  So I’d go first, stop, wait for brothers to catch up, then we’d fight all the way down.  We were warned then booted after not following the warnings.

  9. My uncle, Gerald Griffin was the flight director (mission control) for Apollo’s 12, 15, and 17.  He was supposed to lead the lunar landing of 13.  He ended up being on one of the teams that helped get them home.  He was also a technical advisor for the movie.  (Also advised on Contact and Deep Impact.)

    unfortunately, he’s an Aggy.

  10. Blindsides were not that common until about 5 seasons ago.  At least as far as one can tell from the reaction of the person that was blindsided.  At this point in Survivor play, you should never assume safety - especially in the case of two players overtly going after one another.  Chris said as much on the show.  Hell the show’s actual theme revolves around idiots that didn’t play their idols.

    I get that there’s a lot we don’t see, but I just can’t see a scenario in which not playing the idol was a responsible play.

  11. There's a video game hall of fame museum in Frisco.  Took the kids a few weeks ago.  Thought I'd be bored because I've never really been in to playing video games.  That being said, it was really cool.  They had a room set up like an old arcade where you could play the actual games.  They also had a stand-alone Dragon's Lair game.  When I was a kid, there was a Dragon's Lair game at a local pizza place.  I couldn't really afford to pop in quarter after quarter, so I'd watch other kids play the game for hours.  Memories.

  12. Agree.  Sometimes the edit (or stuff we don’t see) makes people look smarter or dumber.  In this case, how could he have possibly felt safe enough not to play it?  Hell, he snuck off in the middle of the night because he actually said he needed an idol for the next tribal.  

    F’s sake.  There’s a blindside at almost every tribal these days.  

  13. JamesLaw and I have a dad that’s pretty cool as long as you don’t bring up politics, women drivers, the Rangers, or Friends/Big Bang Theory.

    He’s the opposite of most his age politically as he likes to rant about conservatives and Trump.

    as for the latter, he’ll frequently bring up and tell you about something funny Joey, Phoebe, Sheldon, etc. said on the last episode(s) he’s watched for the 20th time.
