  1. Did the Pirates fuck up by changing the sign? Roberto Clemente's son thinks so: "Yesterday, I was shocked to learn that the Clemente 21 sign—a tribute to my father on the right field wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh—had been removed and replaced by an advertisement. This change was made without any communication or consultation with our family," Clemente Jr. wrote. "While we appreciate that the Pirates acknowledged their failure to inform us, it reveals a broader issue: a lack of meanginful collaboration between the organization and on matters that are deeply personal and historically significant to us and the fans. "We have always been open to building a sincere and lasting partnership with the Pirates, one grounded in respect and shared values. Our hope is that this moment serves as an opportunity for reflection, paving the way for a more thoughtful, transparent, and collaborative relationship moving forward. "I intend to reach out to the Pirates directly to explore this further." Before: After:
  2. He got caught watching the paint dry...
  3. Weak shot at humor towards protecting Texas from borders other than the south, as well as our idiotic gambling laws allegedly enacted to keep us "safe."
  4. Is this to counter the casinos on the other side of our borders?
  5. That Jim Rome clip is more annoying than Duke.
  6. or institutional/ publicly funded racism and or religious zealotry. But yeah, it's all of that and more.
  7. Broke the previous record of 1.5 inches of snowfall today in Amarillo. basically snowed all day from about 5AM through 3:30PM or so. 3-5 inches of snow, which has melted on all street surfaces and such. Weird day, but we'll damned sure take the moisture!!!
  8. That's not necessarily true...
  9. That's what she said.
  10. "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology..." Wait, that's Steve Austin. Abort! Abort! Abort!!!
  11. I've made all of my changes and have not missed one football game I wanted to watch, and actually gained access to some extra ones. If you like college basketball, you almost have to have ESPN +, especially Big XII games( understood, that's not many folks on here any more.) pro baseball is the challenge, and it solved with reliable streaming.
  12. The lack of production hasn't improved at newly minted Dalkon Shield Park. That's way the fuck more than 30PA's. Not even trash cans or buzzers could overcome that shit, as opposed to productivity on the road.
  13. 1.28 inches since early evening yesterday in the Panhandle. Much appreciated. Forecast still insists that it will end with an inch of snow mid morning. We'll see...
  14. The Planet-Mars had $.10 drinks before 11. That shit was crazy.
  15. Did the YouTubeTV/ drop cable thing and haven't looked back. zero ragrets Utilities- I am miserly on electricity/ water use, but that's just my nature, not a product of any recent events. every time we have moved, our usage rates YOY have been drastically lower than previous occupants. Food- we haven't really changed except wife knows I'm gonna gripe if we waste food. Buy what you want/ think we need, but let's make sure it gets used. Clothes- I don't buy shit until I have to. Exception would be shoes, but everything else gets worn until it wears the fuck out, even if it's 12 years later. Wife keeps Amazon West Texas afloat. Travel- no big trips except to see our kids/ grands. Any extra income is allocated there.( kids on both coasts)
  16. and our heroes are just 1 game under .500. Yeah. That sucks too.

    throwaway line in an REM song?
  18. If the Park Ranger bit is community service oriented or something like that, I would list it. If it was smoking dope and taking long hikes, maybe not so much. What's relevant to the job you want?

  20. That must just be a magic honey pot like no other. The crazy and the "seeks conflict" gotta be off the charts as well.
  21. I was hoping it involved beer, given the thread title.
  22. Even though you never served, you have a MUCH better understanding than most of what the life/ culture entails. I will say as a father I worried 80 billion X's about my kids than I ever did about my own time in. That's just what fathers do. It's NEVER "just a training exercise."
  23. we get it. You're afraid of everything.
  24. I'm pro legalization, but it's because of the money we waste as a society chasing this shit. The flipside of my stance on legalization is that i don't see the possession laws as racist at all. Just don't be an idiot in possession. That shouldn't be too difficult. There's no fucking way marijuana is THAT fucking good, right? Regardless it should be legalized and regulated, and should have been a long ass time ago. Idiots like Henderson will fuck up in other ways, like choosing to be an aggy. It's an idiot tag for life.
