  1. Also, you know, kids. School and all. All due respect, yadda yadda yadda, but this particular type of theater needs to end.
  2. A lot of it depends on where you are, including down to which driver's route you live on. UPS was absolute dog shit at our last house, but it was the driver. He was replaced, and things magically improved. We live at the end of a large neighborhood next to a green belt, where people come to dump all kinds of things (I once found a stolen car still running in gear jammed up on a tree). We see piles of Amazon packages with some regularity. Sometimes it's porch pirates dumping loot they don't want, but sometimes it's just a bunch of unopened boxes, where the driver clearly just said fuck it and dumped out whatever was left to go party or whatever. I've acted as a delivery driver for our neighborhood more than a couple of times. FedEx, I haven't had many problems with lately. Based on this thread I'll start preparing for the worst.
  3. For anyone reading/participating in this thread, for whatever reason, Nathan Fielder's new series on Showtime, "The Curse" may be of interest.
  4. Just another example of why the Grammy's are meaningless. They'll nominate anyone for just about anything. I think their strategy is that if they nominate enough people, the nominees will convince friends and family to actually tune in to watch or care in the slightest. Viral marketing, baby!
  5. Lake Travis, dude. This probably doesn't crack the top ten list of terrible shit those entitled little twats did to each other in a locker room. For anyone considering raising your children out there, I have two words: Baker Mayfield.
  6. Based on the thousands of them they ensure remain alive and go to homes that can't handle them in this city, it seems only fair that they deal with one at work all day.
  7. Wife is going to start a ketamine treatment for depression next month. I'm really hoping it helps.
  8. It's literally all of them.
  9. You would think some form of adverse possession would kick in at some point, but I can't be the first to consider that notion so I assume it has been tried and failed.
  10. My group chats seem boring compared to these stories. Maybe I should rethink my policy of refusing any communication with other parents on my kids' sports teams.
  11. I think you're correct. I'm also wondering why a youngin' like yourself is even reading this thread. All of this will be relatable for you in another couple of decades.
  12. So much for my plan to just ignore how old I'm getting. Thanks a lot, fellas.
  13. Well put. We had a couple of band directors and countless coaches in addition to the youth ministers, priests, and preachers dipping their pens in the teenage ink. The ag department guys were also particularly bad according to the scuttlebut. In those days very few suffered any consequences beyond maybe moving on to a new job if the parents found out and raised a stink. There was a band director who taught at my old high school long after my time there who made the FBI most wanted list, however. I believe he still on the run today after twenty years or so.
  14. Don't worry, everyone will be on a bike soon. You just have to wait for it.
  15. If your taint ain't bruised before eating at Shoney's . . .
  16. Pandas must do well in the tech industry.
  17. Took the kids to GWL in Grapevine for my niece's birthday party seven or so years ago. Never again. NEVER. That has to be the worst fucking place on the planet, and yes I'm fully aware of at least some of the really really terrible places out there. You can fly the family to Florida and spend a weekend at Disneyworld (not that I recommend that hell hole either) for less than a weekend at GWL, and what do you get for your money? A bunch of drunk redneck morons hanging out in the hallways getting shitfaced drunk while their kids destroy the rooms after a day of breathing in the foulest air on earth in the water area. All of this is followed by a respiratory virus that knocks out your family for a week or two after you get home. My wife referred to it as white trash Disneyworld. I told her Disneyworld is white trash Disneyworld. Great Wolf Lodge is something different. Something much worse. Something that will eventually kill us all. I would rather breathe the current air in Shepherd, TX than breathe the air inside a GWL ever again.
  18. I thought pandas were too stoned to reproduce, or is that koalas?
  19. Is that the Electric Grandmother herself in that sketch? I don't think I ever picked up on that before, but it adds a nice layer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083876/ EDIT TO ADD: I think I'm wrong and confusing actresses who were old forty years ago.
  20. Good for you. Blind faith is at the root of this problem, particularly blind faith in church leadership. The Catholics and the Baptists don't have a complete monopoly on child abuse, but they seem to be the worst offenders in terms of volume and I think it's directly related to the culture of these institutions that promotes not asking questions, blindly following leadership, and the general grooming of their members that no matter what is going on or how much their conscience may be screaming otherwise, whatever happens, it's the Lord's work (and his ways are mysterious, you know, so don't question it).
  21. Stop Californianing my Texas!
  22. This woman is a certifiable nut. Her NextDoor posts make for fascinating reading.
  23. lol, sorry I wasn't clear. There are a ton of Citizens banks around the country. Their loan is not from the bank in Iowa that closed. I blame this on the failures of our federal trademark system. Lots of confused people all over the country wondering if their bank closed today. Nope. EDIt TO ADD: We even have a Citizens Bank in TX, with a few locations in the NE I think.
  24. I've got a family member who has an auto loan from Citizens. They called asking if they could just stop paying it. That sure would be nice, wouldn't it? But no.
