    Watch the clip.  His almost exact words were "he was shot down in new guinea and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals for real in that part of new guinea

     Quoting what someone ALMOST said…   that’s an interesting take.

  2. Torchys is garbage.  Their queso is good but so is the queso at plenty of other places. Everything else on the menu is just cheap dogshit ingredients on cardboard tortillas  

    I’ve only had Velvet Taco a couple times and it isn’t great.  It’ll do in a pinch, like when every other restaurant in Hobby Airport is under renovation or between ownership.  I guess their gimmick is to put non-taco foods into taco form.  Meh.  The Indian food one is ok.  The brisket one isn’t.

    Tell you doctor that you're nervous and get a RX for the valium/Xanax.  Your work can't do shit about a prescription drug.

    This.  They routinely write scripts for 1 pill for your exact situation.   

    Maybe for some jobs but not his.  Don’t do this.  It’s not the employer, it’s the FAA.  Xanax is an automatic disqualifier for your FAA medical certificate.  We can’t even take prescribed ADD meds.  You’d either have to lie to your next medical application, which opens up another can of worms with that script out there, or go through a lengthy process of proving to the FAA that it was just that one time because you get anxious in metal tubes, which isn’t going to go over well or be quickly resolved.

    i’ve got nothing to help you through that MRI though, maybe some melatonin? I get a little claustrophobic sometimes and I cannot sleep in a sleeping bag zipped up no matter how cold it is, but for some reason the MRI machine hasn’t bothered me.

    Our fantasy football draft order this year is determined by how many times we can rep 135, our vertical, and our 40 time. Basically a combine for slow white old dudes.

    Half your buddies are going to pull a hammy in the 40.  I’d give up on the bench and maximize your efforts into the other two.  A long term stretching routine is key here.  You should also be laying the groundwork on some sort of sabotage plan.  If your friends are like mine, cheating is not only encouraged but expected.   Laxatives in their food would be a good start. Nobody’s gonna put forth a full effort on the bench when they’re on the verge of shitting their pants.

    This needs to be an AZ ad …

     

    By the 1990’s he’d given up on both politics and finding a suitable wife and enjoyed a lucrative career at ESPN as a self-proclaimed expert on football scouting and NFL mock drafts.

    Outside of the "friend" excuse, which would involve him having to give a name, that would still fall under the reported stolen umbrella, no?

    But it was his car that rear ended Sweat. So even if Burrell was a passenger in either vehicle, he would've presumably known who was driving his vehicle. 

    Not that I’m hoping they get away with this, but only a complete idiot would answer any of those types of questions from a cop.

    23 in July

    A kid?

    Semantics.  23 year olds are  generally immature and make stupid decisions, just like kids.  How’s that?   The point is we see these stories every year and always will.  I’ll be shocked the year a high draft pick doesn’t do something stupid that could jeopardize their future.

  8. I don’t think anybody’s really keeping track of excused versus unexcused absences. At least not at our high school. I just write a note that says Please excuse ______ from school for an appointment yesterday.”  I don’t tell anybody what the appointment was for and nobody asks, and we’ve never had an issue with it.  Sometimes it’s a legit doctors appointment. Sometimes it’s an appointment to beat traffic to get out of town easier. 

    The flip side is that we don’t budge an inch on his keeping up with the work and getting assignments turned in on time. He screws that up every now and then, and there are consequences for it.  He knows that “I missed that day,” is not a valid excuse for late work. But mostly he gets it all done and turned in on time absent or not.  There’s a good life lesson in that as well.

  9. If you’re old enough to be a parent, school is very different now than it was when you attended.

    It’s not just kids missing school.  Our teachers are so overextended and/or leaving for other careers that my kid at a high school in Austin has a sub in one class or another at least twice a week.  Sometimes it’s a teacher that just had other duties that day, field trip for some club, an event they were coaching, etc.. and the absence was planned ahead with notification. But often it’s a teacher that just got sick of all the shit and up and quit with little or no advance notice and the kids are stuck with rotating subs long term. 

    You’d be shocked at the number of times I asked my kid what they did in a certain class that day and the response is something like, ”We had a sub again  and they told us to read some stuff that we had already read last week. So everyone just fucked around on our phones the whole time instead.”   This happens at least once a week usually more across all classes.  

    My kid gets good grades, he catches up quickly most of the time when he misses a day, so yeah, given the current environment of underfunded public school and overextended underpaid teachers, I am not sweating pulling him out of school, so we can take a family trip or see the eclipse or whatever. just about every lesson and all the work included for it I s online these days. Usually he can accomplish it the day of the absence on his chrome book without even asking a teacher what he missed.
     
    The idea that some teacher is going to back up and re-teach something for absences is just not how it works.

    There’s not a single thing wrong with driving a Chrysler. But if you’re driving a Chrysler you’re not gonna be my lawyer.
