  1. My take has always been that almost all of the folks we call "actors" would be better called "pretenders". They happen to be photogenic, and they never do anything except dressing up, making up, and pretending to be someone else.
  2. Classic "computer crime" from the Olden Daze... Guy used his Apple II to print invoices, which he sent to pretty much every big oil company, engineering, and construction company in the south. He read all the business news and journals, found big multi-million dollar projects and sent invoices for random amounts between $500 and $1,000 with that project and a senior VPs name as the reference. He figured Accounts Payable wouldn't fuck with a VP Project leader of a $75,000,000 project over a few hundred bucks. He was right. It worked for a couple of years, until he got lazy (or too busy laundering krugerrands) and sent the same amount invoices a few months in a row; the AP people at Conoco thought $683.19 had already been paid twice, tried to contact him and discovered the invoice's main office street address was an empty lot in Houston, and ... busted. Apparently he paid back some of the money, but nowhere close to all, did a couple in the slammer, got out and disappeared. Most of the victims were pretty embarrassed and wouldn't work with IRS, and the bank accounts that the money went through were regularly emptied by cashier's checks, payable to jewelers and coin dealers.
  3. Watson Brown is Mack's big brother. Mom and Dad always loved him best.
  4. Yah, you know, I figgered that besides the good-natured banter about posting volume, there would be remarks about Gramma's basement having windows, or this guy being too stupid to open the box and put the chair together.
  5. Yebbut... "party" and "taco". Lotsa room there.
  6. Just curious, but - is there no pussy, or is it just not an issue? Well, or both, I guess.
  7. How half of Surly sees the other half...
  8. Long season. It's earley daze still.
  9. He should be, but I think it may depend on whether a sooner alum will step up with a bag of cash to send him on his way.
  10. Then he's a fucking moron. But we already knew that.
  11. It is still puzzling to me (other than $$$) that a head coach who is so lacking in understanding of how to football, that he dumps Gabriel for Arnold, still has a job.

    Nice shower, industrial strength shampoo, nice terrycloth bathrobe... it could happen.
  13. You've spelt "hook'em" incorrectly.

  15. The vehicle financing deal is the way to go. I avoid trade-ins absolutely. Just make sure the finance plan allows early pay-off - "My grandma's dying of cancer, and I expect to inherit some cash in not too long... so..." Get'em down as far as they'll go, drive away, and when the payment is due, pay it off. Dealer and salesone get the best they can do, and so do you.
  16. Coach can demand review (maybe only for targeting) any time. If review fails, Delay of Game penalty assessed. Subsequent failures add additional five yards to penalty distance rather than disallowing reviews.
  17. But the PR and NIL opportunities of Arch/Sark versus Quinn/Belichick prolly more than make up for potential lower NFL draft contract.
  18. Protocols of the Learned Elders of Glory Hole
  19. Reading the Quinn thread, it's degenerated into WTF didn't we see more Arch the last few games... I think it's more apropos here, as more of a coaching question than playing. My main complaint about the last few started with the CCG. Having just been given the blueprint to take down UGa by Haynes King, I was surprised to see Quinn pretty much exclusively right from the start, particularly after Arch had showed what he can do with his legs in the aggy game.
  20. Fat fingered Trew.
  21. Never forget having some breakfast in that little cafe downtown, and at the next table there were four or five farmers (judging by clothes) complaining about the recent change of every fucking coffee manufacturer except French Market to puff up their grounds and have only 12 ounces of coffee in the same ol' can that used to be 16 ounces... they called it the "jew pound".
