  1. Looking at attendance figures for the games since 2007 I don't see how they would have trouble supporting a team. They've averaged about 83000 at Wembley for as many as 3 games a year and 74000 at Twickenham. According to figures I saw less than 5% are Americans or American Ex pats and 60% come from outside London. Seems like more than novelty attendance to me.
  2. By that logic they could have had Gene Chizik for a lot less.
  3. How the fuck does that happen?
  4. Worked with a guy who believed this. After not seeing him around for a while I asked where old so-and-so was. Jail. Tax evasion. Guy had like 8 kids. Dumbass.
  5. I had the distinct displeasure of training Armor Officers at the Armor School at Ft. Knox when I was in. I can tell you without reservation that 99% of 2nd Lieutenants are shitbirds. Most are capable of learning and once they do, many turn into fine officers. Aggy was, without question, the biggest pain in the ass of all. Entitled, cocky, stupid, and lazy. Every single one I dealt with had to be yelled at by their OIC at least once due to thinking they were above doing some task. They always made sure to let everyone know they were aggy, in word and deed. They generated more eye rolls from everyone involved in training them than all other groups combined. I gave everyone a chance to prove themselves during the "10 day war" field exercise at the end of the cycle. When it came time to bring the tanks in and do cleaning and maintenance, we had an unspoken policy among the training NCOs to give the biggest assholes the shittiest jobs, like greasing the torsion arms and road wheels. I did 8 training cycles., and aggy won shithead of the cycle every time I had one on my crew. The rate was similar on every tank in the Troop. I would have career Sergeant's First Class who knew I was from Texas come ask me, wtf was the deal with these people. I had no answer other than "aggy".

    Whatcha reading?

    Really enjoyed this one. I actually listened to it because it was too long to read during my limited down time, but I could listen on my commute. Just finished All The Light We Cannot See based on the movie thread and now I'm reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. Imagine that!
  7. She doesn't work for me. I won't go into the specifics but I've only actually met 2 of the other 11 team members face to face as we are spread over a large part of the country.
  8. See above.
  9. Makes a better explanation than "not sure where that fucking apostrophe came from".
  10. Get the sleep study. They'll tell you what you need. Helped me a ton.
  11. Lack of relevant knowledge.
  12. That's a pluralization homie.
  13. I haven't actually seen her but she's considerably older than 25 and not single. I can't comment on her tits.
  14. Mexican bus' in the left lane on I35. Seriously, a bus should NEVER be in the left lane. EVER!
  15. Thanks for all the replies. Some very helpful info here.
  16. It's a married woman. I don't know what her hobbies are. Don't know about kids. I believe this is just to be a temporary stopover to get settled into town so they can figure out where they want to live long term. I know it's not a great neighborhood but there are a ton of places within 10-15 minute drive that are fine. The Domain is one I hadn't thought of. I think Mueller area has some stuff. I asked about budget but didn't really get a number. I just avoid that area like the plague so I have no idea what to tell her.
  17. I'm in Austin but live south. One of my team is moving in from out of state and asked me to recommend some apartments within easy driving distance of 183 and I35 area. Middle to upper middle income range. Thanks!
  18. Iconic CFS should be The Broken Spoke. Hills Cafe was for drunks at 3 am.
  19. Yep, I fucked that one up.
  20. All Back Full! All Back full!!!! Damnit!!!!
  21. In
  22. This has been debunked. Cat's are actually inter-dimensional beings and cannot exist in the same space as a strapping device.
  23. You, no doubt, crossed paths with my Dad and his friends. I've heard many Pig Stand stories over the years. Doh! Paco beat me to it.
  24. Great tribute. My condolences on your loss. Clearly a great man and a great Longhorn.
  25. I don't have any answers, but shit is bad right now. Lot's of bad decisions being made at the highest levels. I'll just say that some people are going to get their wish and find out the hard way that you get what you pay for.
