  1. I saw it Sunday. I was entertained. Fun ride, great action, funny as hell, and great music. Not Oscar stuff but a nice thrill ride with some LOL moments for sure. Loved all the characters.
  2. Like a dog when you come in his yard.
  3. My cousin was a student manger for Rick that season. He also helped me out with coaching a flag football team. I'll never forget him coming to one of our games and asking him about the team. He just looked at me and said "Kevin Durant is going to blow your mind." Then he described a play in practice on his second day where Augustine threw him an alley oop on a 3 on 1 break that was 3 feet over his head and behind him. He was coming up on the right side of the hoop, caught the ball in his right hand above his head and behind it, pass it to his left hand behind his head and then slammed it home all while in the air. He said they all stood there stunned for a minute and then everyone lost their minds. I was not disappointed with the season and I'll always be a Durant fan. Fuck the haters.
  4. That was Major Horton.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  11. 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.''
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

    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.
  16. 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.
  17. Saw it yesterday and laughed my ass off. A little longer than necessary but a really entertaining movie IMO.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
