  1. as a tall human, i absolutely need to pick my seat, so SW in normally out. never flown discount other than Ryan Air over in Europe maybe 20 years ago. Normally fly AA (live in Dallas). They actually came through after they scrapped our plane to Birmingham for the Bama game (said the brakes did not work, which was sort of an auspicious malady for a plane full of Texas fans) but we had to return back to the gate and then deplane. We got a new plane with in an hour and were on our way. They did piss off a lot of people in boarding group 1 by just making it essentially a free for all boarding the 2nd plane and eschewed drink service rather that wait the (they said) 45 extra minutes to load all that stuff up. But i dngaf as i just wanted to get there at a reasonable time in my bulkhead seat.
  2. I, for one, think Brisket should stop dodging the question and answer.
  3. For RBs where does Mostert fit in with D. Montgomery/Bijan/Gibbs? My bench tore it up this week Mostert and Kyren Williams going off. If Ekeler is out again, Kyren is starting over someone, but Mostert looked strong last night.
  4. we need The Purge rules enacted anytime anyone says the word 'woke'. You have 1 min to main or kill them. it's already like the dancing baby of words.
  5. Mark Cuban had his metamask wallet drained. said the loss was ~$860K worth of stuff.
  6. limo still picks me up in the same place. must be a poors problem. but yeah, i think they do this at SLC airport from what i remember from last year. They had a designated Uber zone that you had to walk to. I just said eff it and took a cab last time in Vegas cause you could just walk right up and get one instantly. Aria hotel in Vegas has a different ride share zone as well.
  7. i think it stems from all the 'bathroom bill' legislation freakout that trans persons would just be hanging out in the 'wrong' bathroom and start assaulting anyone that entered. Then bud light had the audacity to market to someone other than bro sportsball man. Couple that with school libraries having a handful of books that cater to LGBTQ kids and suddenly it's a full on conspiracy to 'groom' god-fearing normal kids and turn them in something non-cis. At its heart is to drive hyper local hate engagement and create stickiness for more people to glom onto the maga/gop party all in the name of saving the children. Bonus points for masked AR carrying dickheads that get to experience an erection by holding a gun in public feeling 'tough'. tldr drag shows = caravans. gotta keep generating fear and hate.
  8. so i was thinking about this the other day after watching that Ted Lasso episode where they 'steal' / hat tip whatever a bunch of famous lines from various TV/movies and even the AI (heh) Practice!? We talking about practice?! press conference. For that specific Lasso episode, would any of the other works receive anything? most of the references were exact lines from the original from what i remember.
  9. yeah, we had a few frat bros tell of us to eat shit as we were walking past all the greek houses back to the car, but nothing beyond that. Summed up, Everyone was pretty nice and smug about about the beatdown they believed UT was about to receive. If the Frat bros parents were in town, they were nice. if not we were told variation of Horn Down and eat shit. Coeds were mostly about horns down. The one non-drunk bama fan that was sitting next to me was a good dude that we both acknowledged good plays by either team. I did not realize that there was a burgeoning business in game-day buttons with catchy slogans like Big Nick Energy. Olds, greek bros and gals, pretty much everyone had on one or more of these pieces of flair. Even the several Longhorn moms with Bama spawn had UT versions of these (no Big Sark Energy that I saw, alas).
  10. don't most have mobile check in now? Stayed at Aria 2 weeks ago and you could use the app to check in and get your mobile key to unlock the door. There was a pretty big line when i rolled in, but was able to just go straight to my room. Went back later when there was no line to get physical keys 'cause it was annoying to keep pulling out my phone for the lackluster 'room-key-check-dude' to get to the elevators. Also, all the MGM property elevators would not go up with out scanning a room key. The phone app worked, but physical key was way easier.
  11. more of a CSB but on the flight to Birmingham Friday, we are all seated about to leave the gate and then 2 LEO with something like "drug overdose unit" on their shirts come storming down the aisle, but then returned empty handed a few minutes later. missed my chance at getting on a tiktok video i guess.
  12. Jooooooel Klatt, Joel Klatt will be great today. guaranteed kick to Bob's groin for aggy failure.
  13. wasn't there a poster that had a 'water retention' product or something? Am i making that up? think it was called hydretain or somesuch. I had hell keeping my backyard SA lawn healthy. put down Palisades Zoysia (aggy developed) and it has been great for my yard with varying level of shade/sun.
  14. were you hacked? reply 3 times if yes
  15. just imagine, say aggy bites the bullet. > $100MM to change coaches. then plus whatever # they need to moneywhip the next guy. elko walking in "1 Jimbo special please, but I want 50% within 60 days". It's like trading in your underwater thrice-rolled over car loan to finance a used boat.
  16. i thinks it more that it is a quick easy thing to do But yeah, it does not bother me at all and when the Bama fans were throwing the horns down while walking around the quad before the game i commented that we already have them trained prior to joining the conf. Bonus points for being able to shake a pom pom and still do horns down.
  17. to be fair that last one with Klatt was all about CU and their win. Joel gives the horns a fair shake and definitely takes aggy to the woodshed just about every chance he gets.
  18. obviously, they need to litigate harder
  19. no idea, but might be seeing this guy in the future
  20. I have leased twice in my life. (many moons ago) My work had a car allowance and i had to get a certain type of car (no truck/SUV allowed at the time). So leased a sedan to get the payment close to the allowance. First lease term is up and I went to Carmax to get a quote and their buy price was above the residual/balloon payment so I went ahead and sold it Carmax and pocketed the difference. Saved me from having to buy new tires as well. Second time i shopped around, but it was cheaper to turn the lease in as the used value was lower than the residual. I would think it would be a no brainer to get financing at anything < 3% when your money can sit FDIC insured and earn 5%. If the rate dips at the bank, then pull the trigger and pay off the note. Cars are just crazy stupid expensive now.
  21. went to Vegas for weekend; it rained. Came back to Dallas on Sunday; it rained. i am available for hire.
  22. Just got back yesterday. Got to play golf in 80-85 degree weather on Friday (Bali Hai). Rain stopped about 15 minutes before our tee time. Think it rained a little later in the afternoon and again some on Saturday. Saturday was high of 83 I believe. Did not stop the pool parade at the Cosmo though.
  23. that's about the only thing 'make america like it was before civil rights again' does not want to mirror. 91% tax rate on the top bracket. lol it was 70% until 1982
  24. Schlapp, Schlapp, Schlapping sounds...
