  1. That was Major Horton.
  2. I remember when I got to Ft. Knox for intake and saw the fatty platoon lined up in front of the mess hall slamming their entire canteen before they would let them go eat. Filled 'em up I suppose. I felt for those guys for the reasons above. It's better to get to your regular training cycle late than early.
  3. 1.94 in Manchaca smack in the middle of the recharge zone but not much run off. Ground soaked it up but my yard is very happy.
  4. I kind of hate to admit it but I usually revert to Civ IV if I want to play. V I just couldn't quite figure out and it pissed me off so I just stick with what I know.
  5. None of the things you mention reduced competitiveness in the sports you cite. In fact, I would suggest that all increased the competitive nature of their sports and allows more money for more players while the owners continued to benefit. LIV is entirely different. It's a worse product that limits player opportunity and reduces competition. Not to mention it's entire reason for existence isn't to grow the game, but to satisfy one mans ego and provide positive press for a bunch of unmitigated scum. I may have to eat some shit from Saudi Arabia because they have a product we all need, but I sure as shit don't have to support this and I'll stop watching golf before I watch this.
  6. I don't give a fuck who goes I won't watch it. Tradition means something in golf and while I don't blame anyone for taking the money, I'll be damned if I contribute to it in any way.

    Top Gun 2

    F-14 was an interceptor. Very specific mission. Destroy enemy bombers before they could launch ASM at the carrier group. It was meant to fly really fucking fast in a straight line and then fire phoenix missiles at approaching bombers. Any air superiority role it had was secondary to that, but it was surprisingly effective for as big and heavy as it was.
  8. I loved it when they asked Pedro Guerrero about playing 3d base for the first time. He said in effect "Every time a batter comes up I think 'Don't hit it to me, and don't hit it to Sax.''
  9. I've started frying mine in lard. Much cleaner flavor IMO. I can't imagine it's any worse for me but if it is I'll take my chances. Cheaper than oil too.
  10. I have nothing to add except that I played softball against Dr. Brian Roberts years ago in various city leagues and that big, goofy, bucket hat wearing dude could hit the ball out of any of the Krieg fields any time he wanted to. You never know by looking at him, but dude could swing it.

    The Boys

    Nothing is stopping Homelander but his own fucked up psychology. That's why all the other supes are so terrified of him.

    The Boys

    He's got the video from the plane crash where Homelander lets them all die and talks shit to the passengers as the plane crashed from the damage he caused while trying to "save" them.
  13. Made a speed run up on Saturday to move daughter (no pics) back from UTD. Left at 6:30 am and got there in 3.5 with little issue. Return trip started at 11:30 am and took right at 4 hrs with most of the crap in Waco and Georgetown to RR. When I was heading South the Northbound side in Waco was entirely fucked.
  14. Saw it yesterday and laughed my ass off. A little longer than necessary but a really entertaining movie IMO.
  15. Ran a timed 40 thirty+ years ago in the Army. Just our CO trying to make PT more interesting and also cut down on all the shit talking about who was faster. I shocked myself in a good way by running 5.5. Hand timed so more likely 5.6. Now I'd have stop after 10 yards to hit my asthma inhaler and call an ambulance.
  16. It's been 30 years since I was there but there is a shitload of cool stuff to see there. It's a beautiful country and the people are pretty bad ass IMO. Start in Seoul and then work your way around from there. See the DMZ if you can. The War Museum in Seoul is very cool. There's a bad ass old castle near there that I can't remember the name of that's worth seeing too.
  17. If not even the mighty Colorado can supply the SW and California, we need to seriously rethink the water rights for those areas. Time to start building desalinization plants all up the west coast if you ask me. God only knows if this will get any better since it's been going on for so long and with climate change in process, I don't think anybody can predict what will happen with any certainty.
  18. Didn't see the video, but I had the distinct displeasure of seeing a guy get crushed between two M113s while we loaded on trains to move south of Seoul for Team Spirit when I was stationed in Korea. I heard yelling and turned just in time to see it. Haunts my dreams to this day, so I'll pass on that one.
  19. Dr. Otto was my allergist. He just retired. Great guy and I miss him.
  20. I believe we call that the "Moe".
  21. I'm know I'm wasting my time here, but what the hell. The reason I neg your bullshit posts (not all of your posts as you know) is because I used to believe the same bullshit you're spouting. So did Brisket, Twice, DDD, GOLL, etc that post on this site. When I really started to look at what was going on and stopped just listening to the crap being spewed by the AM radio crowd, and actually decided to take a real look at the records of both parties it was an eye opening experience. Seriously, if you can, take a genuine look at the actual governing records of both parties. Not what they say they are going to do, but what they actually do. It's out there, if you're willing to take an open minded look. If you can look past your need to be on the right side (a failing we all suffer from) to what is actually being done by each party when actually governing, and you still think the Democratic party is a threat to this country at all, much less more than the Republican party, then I have to think we have no hope. I don't post much because I don't have much time and I like to spend some time defending my thoughts if I can, and since I can't, I don't. I've been reading these sites since Hornfans and I've learned way more than I could have possible imagined from these assholes, left and right. At times the right has dominated the boards, at others the left, but in each case it was more center oriented than fringe. So when all I've seen from one side for the last 10 years is the same tired talking points that have little to no basis in the actual reality of what is going on, I had to question my own beliefs because they didn't match what my eyes were seeing. Then I had to get over my ego and realize that I was being lied to and that I was part of the problem. I often see posters here say "well we aren't going to change each others minds" but I've seen it happen quite a bit. Interestingly enough it always seems to change in one direction. Why, I wonder?

    Facing Nolan

    My favorite Nolan story is still when he drilled his wife in the back when she signed up for a fantasy camp just to face him. I guess he'd already drilled her so many times, what's one more?
