  1. Shot this out at Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige over the weekend. Even amongst all the 'necks at the dirt track, this guy was still the only one we saw wearing anything remotely political.
  2. Just ran across this interesting reddit post on "Pass the Bottle Pete's" military career mediocrity, from 6 months ago. Army folks feel free to weigh in re: this guy's insights. Obligatory: nsiap.
  3. My kid was telling me that Max recruited some online sim racer kid as his teammate for that race. Pretty wild. I think we'll probably see Alonso back in endurance racing before he's done driving. At least I hope so. Some of his endurance drives have been pretty epic. The night stint at Le Mans that turned the race back to Toyota, the rain stint at Daytona, coming from behind to win, etc. If he ever goes back to Daytona or Indy, I am 100% going to be there for it. Maybe even Le Mans. We were talking the other day about the potential for a Le Mans driver lineup that included Alonso and Max on the same team. Then I threw Lewis in there as well. I dunno if Lewis has any desire to do endurance races, but can you just imagine those three in a top car?
  4. Slaughter and Escarpment? That's the last place I saw one, too, on a white guy probably in his late 70s. He was healthy and clean cut tho. Probably about a year ago. /csb
  5. LOL yeah, she's massive alright ... and if she has a big podcast, well that's just another indicator of how bad the enshittening has gotten. She's unlistenable for anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together.
  6. nsiap ... Had to look up Heather McMahan, the stupid MC chick who was on the PA chanting "Fuck You, Rory" & later 'resigned'. Most likely she was told to resign or be fired. She's a has-been/never-was actress/comedian (as in 'former actress and shitty, unlistenable, annoying af comedian). I can't imagine how or why she was ever given that MC job. She says ‘It’s a Little Salem-Witch-Esque’. LOL. [ot]She has a YT channel with like 18K followers. In her latest shitty video, she rips Texans for saying Texas isn't the south. LOL ... tell me you've never lived in Texas without actually saying it. I've lived in Florida, Tennessee twice, Virginia, California, Washington, and Texas. Do parts of Texas share similarities with the south? Sure (mostly in East Texas for obvious reasons). But Texas isn't the south. Mayyyybe East Texas could be loosely considered part of the South, but beyond that, no. Just no. Why are so many southerners so upset by this concept? Fuck those goobers.[/ot]
  7. Happy Fun Ball, ftw. Remember, do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
  8. I wonder how much that little fucker gets kicked back to him from the $35-40M annual MERP subsidy he makes sure COTA gets. COTA alone has been paid ~$500M. So far.
  9. I bet you were super-relieved you didn't have to suck her dick!
  10. Este, mi hermano!
  11. So ... I've been asked exactly how I link this weekend's boorish behavior to Turnip, and I'm having trouble coming up with an argument I can back up. I mean we all know what we saw, but how do I make that assertion in a better way than "I knows what I seent"? Little help? Anyone?
  12. It's 'cause God only watches baseball on Sundays. too busy during the week.
  13. Yeah and whose fucking idea was it to stop playing the Cotton-Eyed Joe (not the LHB version, either) at the Disch? Fuck that person, whoever they are.
  14. Yeah ... for me the sports and the individual games have become so trivial to me compared to everything else that's happening right now, it's just hard for me to muster much emotional energy to put into them. I used to post all the time about football, F1, volleyball, baseball, & more. Not just here, either. Now I hardly post on that stuff at all & don't care about it even a fraction as much as I did even a year or so ago. I still watch, some sports more than others, but it still ain't the same.
  15. Yeah I've always done that. Fuck that shit right now.
  16. I gotta go with the Hendrix version, or Stevie at the Astrodome. But yeah, during the SSB at sports or other events these days, I'm exceedingly uncomfortable at best. I'm guessing my Navy veteran Dad is spinning in his grave.
  17. Sure. But not quite the same as a months-long tour. I hope he uses the pub he's getting from the SB appearance to shed more light on why he didn't do that tour.
  18. I think live music has been affected. Didn't Bad Bunny decide against an American tour because he feared ICE raids at his concerts?
  19. Don't say the mooseoutfront didn't tell ya so ...
  20. Yep. My bingo card just fucking sucks. Didn't have "Police called in to calm out-of-control golf hooligans". You stay classy out there on the links, 'Murica.
  21. Welp. My bingo card just fucking sucks. Didn't have "Police called in to calm out-of-control golf hooligans". You stay classy out there on the links, 'Murica.
  22. What's the score, yo?
  23. It was always very intriguing strategy-wise, trying to discern what fuel strategies people were on, etc, but there wasn't a lot of passing on the track. The mistake I think many people make in that regard though (not y'all) is just assuming that the presence of refueling was the primary driver of the lack of passing. It was a completely different formula with super-durable tires that lasted a full race. Currently there wouldn't be much passing without DRS, either. In the refueling era they had no DRS but had the same problems following closely. Probably worse in that regard. I dunno if refueling would help with variability in the current F1 world. It might, or might not, but the automatic assumptions that many people make about its effect on the racing are overly simplistic imho. There are so many factors to consider. One way it could help with variability would be when some cars at the start of the race are fueled heavy to go further without stopping, vs others that fueled very light to stop sooner, creating performance differences among the cars on the track.
