  1. Recently for no reason whatsoever I was thinking of what Lane calls Pete right before he beats his ass. He calls him a "grimy little pimp," which is a great insult, but something I thought he just sort of blurted out in anger. The more I think about it, though, the more elegant an insult it really is. He is condemning Pete's entire character, while acknowledging that something that should be beautiful and special (a sexual experience or, in this case, the artistic expression of high-end advertising) has attached to it a regrettable but completely necessary aspect, which is Pete, who is nothing more than dirty, wretched salesperson whose unctuous manipulations and amoral tactics make everything a little more shabby. Pete is like a pimp, whose very presence abases everything they collectively do. 

    Thanks for listening to my Ted talk

    To be perfectly honest, I don’t care for the mental health jokes. This shit is no joke, and it feels like they’re punching down. Judy could be a really funny, confident character. Don’t belittle her because she’s sick. 

    How do you watch this show

  3. When Uncle Baby Billy is at Cousins' Night showcasing his show and gets everybody to introduce themselves, he is walking around the table and Keefe starts to say something and UBB just says "uh uh" and keeps moving - that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my entire life. I have been laughing about it for nearly a week, several times a day.

    If I survived getting shot with a handgun, I’d be thankful I wasn’t shot with an assault rifle. 

    It depends entirely on where you were shot and what projectile was used. You could be shot by a .223 green tip that would poke a hole in you in a place that heals well or you could take a .45 hollow point to the chest that put a grapefruit size wound cavity in you. There are a lot of factors that determine whether a gun shot is fatal. 

  5. If you have time, I second Civil Rights Museum. I also highly recommend the Barber Motorcycle Museum. In Tuscaloosa, Archibald's is excellent. Dreamland is just okay and it will be a tourist trap. 

    I have no idea where you will be able to park the RV but good luck.

    So do Ted and his ex get back together or do they just agree to be good parents to their son?  Internet chatter goes both ways.  My take is that it was made intentionally unclear so you can believe whatever you want.  

    I think that's unresolved. I think Ted is still on a course of change, but right now he's coaching his kid in soccer.

    We are rewatching the show with one of our kids and I've got to say it really is excellent. Even some stuff I didn't like the first time has more weight this time around.

    This is pretty spot on from my experience with AB. He actually came to a practice of my brothers (with Louis Delmas, guess it was the western central connection) and he was legit the happiest most engaging person. Went around and signed everything that any kid handed to him, caught balls from the kids, threw balls to the kids and ran around on the field letting these kids (middle school) try and tackle him. 

    I think the burfict hit legit knocked a screw loose because before that he was a super happy guy. 

    That's my working theory as well.

  8. AB makes me very sad. Years ago, he was a guest coach at a free football camp here in Alabama that was put on by Dre Kirkpatrick. My in-laws are all Steelers fan so my son is too. And AB was his favorite player. I took my son (then in the fourth grade) figuring worst case scenario he'd stand around at some lame deal where they would maybe do a meet and greet, do some flag football drills, whatever. Instead they had a full-blown practice. High school kids were puking during bear crawls while gangster rap blared over the PA. It was rainy, and like 90 degrees. It was awesome. Sometime during the event, my son ended up talking with AB. AB ran over to me, got my phone, and took a selfie with them. Then after the practice, AB saw us walking to our car, stopped his driver who was taking him to the airport, and got out so he could sign my son's Steelers jersey he had in the car. The dude could not have been any nicer. The picture ended up being on my son's bday cake that year and his friends were suitably impressed.

  9. Stay at the Omni. It's nice and relatively inexpensive, centrally located, and attached to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Plus the Bob's Steak & Chop House in the lobby is reliably good.

    I also did the Celebrity Alaskan cruise. It was fine. I never want to do another cruise. The food was pretty good but it was too crowded and my main objection is that cruises are predominantly old retired people who are used to doing whatever they want when they feel like it so lines, getting on and off elevators, shit like that is excruciating. 

    We went crabbing and to see glacier bay which was by small boat so it wasn't touristy and we got see whales etc on the way back to Juneau off the cruise ship. That part was cool. Skagway and Victoria excursions were unbearable.

    After watching cruisers disembark from the pier in Cozumel a couple of weeks ago, I would have to say Carnival and Disney have to be the run away leaders on 400 lb. bald guys with tribal tattoos, and 250 lb. wives in thong bikinis. 

    I have only went on one cruise. It was the Alaskan cruise on Celebrity. It was pretty good. But I really don't ever want to go on another, but that would be the one to go on. The time in port is way too short. Not really enough time to do anything but their shitty excursion racket, or shop for tourist shit. I'm sure it is designed that way so the cruise line can get a cut of it.

    Ouch that's easily >$10,000 out of your bank account for less than a week of being miserable apparently. I like the place, but it ain't worth 5 figures.

    Oh yeah it was a fortune. My wife and kids love it but I completely do not get it. I will say that by the time I sat down for dinner in the castle and was given a list with alcohol on it they could have charged me $1000 for a glass of wine and I would pay it. I should have been on vicodin.

    My wife works and rationalizes that it's her money. I can't really push back on that but it's frustrating as fuck.

  13. So we spent 6 days at WDW, did two days of VIP, stayed in the Yacht Club club level, and did multiple big ticket items like dinner in the castle. 

     

    Here's my takeaway: this place fucking sucks. It is an unfun, overstuffed, cynical and exploitative money grab. I find it completely unappealing and have no idea why people go there intentionally.

    If you’re all good then by all means please continue to post the funny/stupid shit that your wife does.

    Agreed. Do not stop posting. All these people giving you advice are wrong and you should ignore them.
