  1. You don't have any idea what the root cause is, but you seem awfully confident in your statements about it. Are you one of his doctors? Do you know something that no one else does, or do you just like running your mouth?
  2. The first time my oldest daughter picked up a .22 rifle when she was 9 years old, she shot a bullseye group about a half inch across at 30 yards with open sights and about 10 minutes of instruction. I promise you don't want to try to out shoot her even today. Sure you'd beat her in a fist fight, but she's too smart to engage you there. You'd never see it coming.
  3. Respect my authoritah! My grandfather was a cop for 30 years and he would have kicked that little bitches ass for being a pussy.
  4. I'm gonna laugh when a lot of these "strong" men wake up one morning with their balls cut off and stuffed in their mouth by some "weak" woman. Talk about living in the past.
  5. I see y'all still don't understand how bail and pretrial detention work. Garza is a huge turd, but for not prosecuting, not for failing to keep petty criminals locked up for weeks or months prior to trial.
  6. Now we know why he wears those shorts.
  7. Perfect! I love you guys. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes
  8. From Miriam Webster: What to Know The three plurals for octopus come from the different ways the English language adopts plurals. Octopi is the oldest plural of octopus, coming from the belief that words of Latin origin should have Latin endings. Octopuses was the next plural, giving the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Lastly, octopodes stemmed from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending. I'm very much enjoying the pedantic language discussion!
  9. Very similar to the way Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a real Nimrod (referring to the legendary hunter) and we all context clued out the sarcasm and assumed it meant "moron". To this day most people think a Nimrod is a moron.
  10. My 80 year old Dad, will be 81 in August still plays 4 games a week in the Austin Geezer Softball league. Some of his happy hour friends came to watch them play and one of the ladies said it looked like little league with beards. He still runs the bases and plays outfield. I'm pretty sure he's in better shape than I am.
  11. I don't have a problem with it. I heckle players on occasion but it's always about their play or maybe their appearance if they have stupid hair or something. Going after someone's family is a no no in my book.
  12. One thing I remember is that up to that big chamber they are talking about with all the various passages coming off, there were multiple strings of twine that went off in various directions from people using that to find their way back. That's as far as I ever went and only the one time because the squeeze to get there was not pleasant. I was 140 lbs back then and it was tight as fuck for me. You had to go through with your arms in front of you and inch worm your way for at least 10 feet and it seemed like a mile. Your clothes would hang on stuff and sometimes you'd feel like you were stuck and would have to shift your position to angle your shoulders right. I'm in a cold sweat just remembering it 40 years later. We had those cheap ass flashlights too that would just randomly dim out and you had to shake them. In retrospect, like many of the things we did when young, it was pretty damned stupid based on our level of preparedness. No foot, no water, one extra set of batteries, no helmets. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
  13. Yeah I think that's what it was called. It was a short hike from the loop 360 entrance. I remember that story too. That was about 15 years after my last time in there. I remember it was mostly low but large chambers back to around 150 yards in and then there was a truly terrifying squeeze that I seem to remember was around 10 or 12 feet of just inching along and then it opened up into a fairly big chamber but I only attempted that once. We usually stopped in that last room before that which you could actually stand up in. Those guys that got stuck were way back in there. I never trusted a flashlight that much.
