    yeah, that's been the rumor for a couple of weeks.  apparently the story was that he didn't himself post anything, but he "liked" some pretty shitty stuff - whether it was racial, political, anti-lgbt, whatever, it was pretty bad.  the speculation that he would be the eventual winner was because he made some big official announcement/apology about it (which would be pointless if he didn't at least go far) and then the next day apparently becca made a similar apology for him.  that's all second hand from the wife and her little gossip crew, so who knows the details or the timing of it.

     

    garrett (the reno guy), colton, and the rest of them all seem to have some warts.  not many guys to root for right now, but of course becca continues with the "i had no idea it would be this hard" mantra that every single contestant says a few weeks in. 

    i still need a lot of clarification on the colton-tia situation.  i have a feeling there are four sides to this story.  each of them has one, then there's the two stories they tell becca.  tia claims they didn't do more than kiss.  bullshit.  colton said "we dated" but then reduced it to "a weekend".  in either case, more than kissing was done, otherwise it would be a non-issue.  they did play up the "he came on the show because he thought tia would be the bachelorette" angle.  still not really buying it.  it's not easy to just come on the show if you want to, and there certainly should be easier ways to get a girl, especially if you've already spent time with her.

    david falling off the top bunk and looking like a bear attack victim is...weird.  obviously he fell straight onto his face?  and he looks disfigured next week?  i guess i'll tune in for that.  david and jordan getting into it while everyone else tried to keep it together was reminiscent of griffey jr having to shield his laughing when pinella went all bonkers.  my wife didn't properly appreciate that comparison, but it was spot on.  that black guy could not hold it together.  sidenote, we toured that venue for our wedding, but it was too small.

    neither one of those dudes is going to get very far.  when there's a 1 on 1 brawl happening, both get stained and both go away.  props to becca for calling jordan out on his tinder comments.  it was almost like jordan wanted to say "4000 women swiped right on me, but i don't pay attention to it, because i'm rarely on there."  instead, he said "i have 4000 matches" which means, obviously, that he swiped right on (at least) 4000 chicks.  duh.  i've never been on tinder, but it's my understanding that's how a match is made.  for a male model, man that guy needs validation 24 hours a day from every direction.

    not sure which part you missed, c-man, but after the bickering session, it was all pretty meh, like much of this season (minus jordan).  clay injured himself doing what he does for a living, although he definitely went beast-mode at the end to tie up the game.  he gets a rose, then gives it back to do what's best for himself/his family.  hard to blame him, as he said he needs surgery and he was 100% not going to win.

    the show essentially ended on clay giving back the rose, which means they'll have to do the ceremony next week, which is annoying.  keep a fucking structure.  i didn't need to see 35 minutes of the marx date (we fast forwarded much of it anyway).  judging from the clips, it really doesn't look like jordan stays very long.  but judging from the pattern they've established the last 5-6 shows, they'll put the two of them on a two on one date and leave jordan on some island/jungle/iceberg, or whatever.  someone needs to tell jordan that becca has made out with almost everyone on the show except him.  he'd cry like lincoln.

    this season has been pretty blah, as i think becca is blah.  she has one story line, and they've beaten us over the head with it.  good dudes for bip is all i care about, and i think we got that. 

     

    Hasn't it been intimated that Colton is a virgin? I think he also dated Ally Raisman at some point.

    My auto went up 700 bucks from last year, no claims, shit...

    They're going up everywhere. We just got a notice Nationwide Private Client Group that they're increasing homeowners and auto rates 30% and 25% (on average), respectively, starting with 7/1 renewals. Factor in last year's hurricanes, wild fires out west and hail and rates are exploding. Auto accidents are getting much more expensive to repair and the whole distracted driving thing doesn't help. (We had a hailstorm in Dallas just last week that is likely to reach $1B in insured losses. The hail portion lasted about 15 mins.)

    I feel weirdly optimistic about the Kawhi situation now.  Woke up a couple of weeks ago and just felt it’s going to work out.  Hope my sentiments aren’t misplaced.

    I've felt the same. I figured if we could get LA straightened out, the Kawhi thing would too. As long a Pop is in SA, I will have this feeling. I also weirdly feel like there is a chance Lebron winds up playing for Pop. That would be delicious!

    Other than the fact he is wanting Berry money on his extension.

    It's worth it if he can still play at his level. It's not a bad contact if he comes in and does what is expected. He solidifies a defense and would make this secondary much better by him being there. And it had a trickle effect towards to the front end of the defense.

    Agreed. See if he'll take a shorter deal than Berry but at Berry-level comp. If he can give you great play in this next 2-3 year window, I think you have to take the chance.

    6figs was also commonly referred to as "thirty seconds" or ":30". This was based on when he used to post under texags name hamm. Apparently he went on a date with another poster and it all came out on the general board. When asked about her experience, she said he went about 30 seconds.

    Oh, snap, I’m a week behind - didn’t realize FD was this coming Sunday.  We want to go Friday night.  I’ll see what’s available at both places.  6PM would be fine because we’re old homebodies.  

    We will be at Town Heart at 6 on Friday night. My wife made the reservation over a week ago and it's all she could get. Just FYI.

    I'd suggest original Al's -- it really is pretty awesome.

  7. Trumps-Kim Jong fucked me last night. Was watching on delay with Mrs. C-Man when they cut to George Snuffaluffagus to talk about the "historic" meeting between two of the worst haircuts in the history of mankind. I quickly tried to jump to the Guide and record the $1M Pyramid after Bachelorette to hoopefully pick up some of the back end, assuming that's what was going to happen. But I missed about 10-11 minutes on the back end and only caught Becca crying just before the last scene cut.

    I caught up online and see only Clay left because of his broken wrist. He wasn't going to go much further anyway, I don't think. He's got kind of a baby voice -- reminds me a little of Damon Wayans' doing a character on In Living Color or something -- but was pretty bland as a character. The Jordan-David shit was worth the show alone last night. David is a fucking twerp and Jordan is absolutely priceless. He will be amazing on Paradise, I think. Hell, shoot David down there too if his face has healed.

    And Dick Marx. Holy fucking shit -- that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. At least he cut his hair.

    Finally, in poking around to see if I missed anything during the Trump-Kim Jong silliness, I stumbled across some spoiler type news. Read further at your own discretion (as I might be spoiling the final winner).

    Spoiler

    Ran across some talk that the guy from Reno, who got the first impression rose, has posted some pretty anti-LGBT, hard-right memes and jokes over the years in Instagram and other places. He has since deleted those social media accounts. Anyway, that's not the news -- the news is he might be your winner. I think that will continue a pretty telling run of those getting the first impression rose actually going on to be the chosen mate.

    We have this come up all the time for clients -- and we handle it for them. I would think rates should be lower in Colorado than Texas. Yes, it would need to be put on a Colorado auto policy so perhaps you lose multi-car discounts and therefore gets more expensive overall. Still, I'm wondering what the agent tried to do. What carrier if you don't mind my asking?

    Registration in CO is much more expensive than tx. Depending on the car it can be north of 1k per year.

    I know nothing about the registration costs. I'm talking about the auto insurance rates, which are generally lower in Colorado than Texas.

    we’re not paying collins in peanuts either

    How many Super Bowl winners have the so called Great Wall on the OL? I know every team is different. And our identity is our run game and OL. But it's still a big investment into one position. I still think it's the right thing to do. Martin is one of the best OL in the league and one of our leaders.

    I still firmly believe you win championships in the NFL starting on both lines -- putting pressure on the QB on one side and protecting him on the other. We still don't really know if we have the answer at QB but we've got a top 3 RB, a terrific OL and are (hopefully) building out the defense. I like what they're doing honestly aside from a few blips here and there.
