  1. we'd finally get that annual rivalry game with Tulsa we've all been hankering for
  2. that's some Lily Singh level parody there
  3. It creates at least as many as it solves by forcing the G5 and P5 together. It's horrible. 8x8 to get to 64 can work, even though it will have some weirdness around the edges, but there aren't 120 programs that need to be included in this exercise.
  4. Gregg Allman had an enormous head. He was like a human bobblehead.
  5. yeah don't hold your breath if you're expecting it to make a difference
  6. I stopped thinking racism at A&M would help our recruiting decades ago, around the time I learned that "racist ol' t.u." actually worked for A&M. I mean, honestly the complaining from Aggie athletes who could have gone to school somewhere else about Aggie racism is darkly amusing. You knew what the scorpion was when you put it on your shoulder, now you're mad it stung you? Bigotry is bad and shouldn't exist, absolutely, call attention to it and try to change it--- but Jesus Christ A&M didn't just adopt it two weeks ago. It's been a part of that culture forever.
  7. cloudy with a chance of premature ejaculation
  8. yeah cause I ain't reading it and neither is anyone else except the newbie brigade-- it amuses me that they're in their fork-fighting when everyone else has moved on
  9. 777 days sober today feels pretty lucky
  10. Glad you're still trying. Benadryl is your friend if you can't sleep, the first couple weeks. If it was easy and fun to quit, we wouldn't have this problem in the first place. I have been there, the "now I'm going to conquer life, this is going to be awesome!" feeling-- it's transitory, it never lasts, it's not real. The flip side of that coin isn't real either-- "my life is over, I'll never have fun again, what is the point", etc. The reality is that you have today. Your best chance to get another today tomorrow is to not pick up a drink today. Your best chance to not pick up a drink today is to use whatever part of the AA program will keep you from doing it. Rigorous honesty, I love this thread and these dudes and I'm sure everyone else (like me) is glad to see you check in, but posting here is probably the weakest tool available to you. You might be surprised at how good going to an AA meeting and blubbering like a bitch actually makes you feel, in early sobriety. It made me feel better. When I was in detox in May of 2018, I got suicidal and let it slip to one of the nurses that I had made a plan and acquired a method to kill myself. That got me forklifted over to Shoal Creek, into the loony bin, where in reading the paperwork carefully, I found out that while this whole detox and rehab thing were "voluntary" (meaning I could leave any time I wanted), being at Shoal Creek itself was not voluntary and those doctors could keep me there indefinitely if they judged me a risk to myself or others. I wasn't even allowed to go outside the first 24 hours. I remember looking out the window and being shocked at how helpless it made me feel to know my ability just to go outside was out of my control. I literally prayed to God to get me out of that situation. Please at least get me to where I can fucking go outside so I'm not locked up in a crazy hospital. Later that same day, I was discharged to my long-term rehab care and ended up at a Westlake AA meeting. I was sitting in that meeting angry and depressed and thinking this whole thing was just wasting time until I could kill myself and then I realized, my prayer had been answered. I got out of Shoal Creek, out in the sun for a bit, out to an AA meeting, etc etc. I humbly and desperately asked God to get me out of there and he did, practically immediately. That gave me a little hard-won gratitude, which, when I kept it in mind, helped me through some of the harder times that were still to come.
  11. Train is the band that deserves the treatment being given statues across this country
  12. not even a fan and I'll stipulate
  13. when a thread you've been reading descends into political shit-flinging and outlives its sell-by date, yet stays at the top of the forum, and when you look at the "LAST POST BY", it's poster after poster you've never heard of, probably all newly registered to Fight The Good Fight that everyone else stopped reading two weeks prior
  14. really sometimes the best insults come from inside the house
  15. Meet Virginia would also qualify-- Train's first single was really good and everything they did after that was offensively bad here's my nomination I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so, I have to say before I go That I just want you to knowI've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears That's why I need you to hear I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you And the reason is you I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new And the reason is you I've found out a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you
  16. A&M was never close to winning the national championship in 1975. At their peak, they were still behind Ohio State, and then they lost while Ohio State won. That Ohio State went on to blow the Rose Bowl against UCLA doesn't change the fact that A&M still needed to win two games it didn't win-- Arkansas and then a hypothetical bowl game against a presumably even stronger opponent than the mediocre USC team that shut them out in the Liberty Bowl. Being #2 in November and finishing with two losses isn't coming close. Coming close is losing a BCS Championship game, or a bowl game where you're already #1, or going into New Year's Day #2, losing your bowl game that day, and then watching the #1 team lose later that night.
  17. (John Sharp): "Whoa whoa whoa, egghead, let's not git too far ahead've arselves. Let's see what the parrot says first. Ask 'im." (/John Sharp)
  18. I would like to piggyback on this excellent post and remind people that the enemy, specific to this thread, is Aggiedom. Aggies. aggy. Call it what you will. Aggies aren't examples of anything other than being fucking Aggies. They're no more representative of "hurrrrr Republicans" or "hurrrrr conservatives" than they would be of "hurrrr Texans" if a Cal-Berkeley fan wanted to talk shit about our state. That probably seems like asking for a filament-level of distinction to some of you, but I think it's a distinction worth making in preserving the unity behind our anti-A&M animus.
  19. yeah, Hitler would have made a terrible rabbi too
  20. What if instead of a baker, it's a noose store? And what if the owner of the noose store is black? And he refuses to sell nooses to a Catholic customer? But both he and the customer are gay so they fall in love?
  21. what is the market value of getting someone who's not even remotely academically qualified into college? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/us/lori-loughlin-pleads-guilty.html like $500,000.....?
  22. writing a book titled "Erotic Confessions of a Fifth Grade Sex Ed Teacher" is a guaranteed way to get the attention of the authorities
  23. the only thing Miley Cyrus was ever right about was thinking "It's unbelievable that I haven't been circled by an angry mob and stoned to death"
  24. that part, I kind of believe, what with the fragging and all
