  1. First, I did not know of the host or his show but certainly knew of Aaron Rodgers as we followed the Packers for many years. But the whole 'talking head' sports stuff whether NFL or NCAA I just tune out. However, after some game on ESPN one night my husband must've turned the tv off and so McAfee show's was on and I made it for five minutes max because in addition to him and his brofriends not talking football, they were surrounded by toys/memorabilia and it was a lot like the same eye-glazing nausea one might get from the Home Shopping Network. I know a lot of fans collect stuff/get autographs but these guys better not make fun of the Comic Con set cause they're just a different flavor of the same lollipop. So I hear you, Chooky, I hear you. Second, ditto on the suits with sneakers. I understand that some show hosts wear shorts, etc if they're behind a desk and it's not visible but if you're camera from head-to-toe then I want either a sharp dressed person or if they've got bonafides as a former athlete then at least something professional and not 'Mom made me wear the clothes and I picked out the shoes.' If my husband is watching pre-game, I either wait until the game starts to sit down or mentally critique the tie and suit combos. Since females are usually sideline reporters, that's another one where practicality has to actually meet performance because they're actually on the field. Finally, I don't care about an athlete's sexuality or gender preference (No CR). But if it's really important to them personally that they project an image one way or another, they could easily do a PR relationship with an NDA. It's done in Hollywood all the time and is no big deal. As long as nothing criminal is going on (DV, assault, minor, etc) then two adults doing adult things is none of my business and has no bearing on the game.
  2. I understand this is Surly, but you're really insulting Roy "Rocky" Dennis with this comparison. Rocky was ostracized and marginalized but his family never stopped advocating on his behalf. His rare genetic disorder did not affect his intelligence although his health was compromised and the fight his mother took against the school district to have her son included in mainstream classes was a lesson in perseverance, classism, and compassion. Elon, on the other hand, has been pampered and petted since birth and compassion is a foreign feeling to him. Rocky died at 16, while Elon was making plans to use his mother's Canadian citizenship to attend school in Canada (from where he then transferred to UPenn in the states). The only grit in Elon is the sand in his white butt crack. RIP Rocky Dennis;Put some respect on his name.
  3. Rose: Where you been? Cosmo: I don't know where I've been and I don't know where I'm going. Sounds about right.
  4. Just one of y'all let me know before the final info is released. I gotta make some calls...
  5. She encourages citizens to vote. I really would not want to get Swifties mad at me, though. QAnon kept talking about a Storm coming? Yeah, the Taylor fans would unleash an epic level flood if Fox pissed them off.
  6. The photographer for the church directory when that guy shows up:
  7. That was my second thought but my first was this one:
  8. Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the daaaays. Students grow into Floridumbs, Transforming as their eyes glaze. Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with countless non-woke beers. What words of wisdom can I give them How can I help to ease their way? If you see tiny Ron, run far far away.... *Apologies for the off meter butchering of this classic to Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick who composed and wrote Sunrise, Sunset for the musical, Fiddler On The Roof (1964), sixty years ago.
  9. Training for prison, perhaps? Strong resemblance to Josh Duggar in that photo. (Duggar was the eldest child from the 20 something kids and counting program on TLC. Convicted sex offender.)
  10. Is it just me or is it rather ironic that someone, the head of the company in fact, who has exploding cars and rockets is at all "concerned" about IQ? The hubris, the pseudoscience faith, the lack of comprehension and critical thinking about topics, is rather astounding. I think Elon should ring up Aaron Rodgers, they could be sandbox friends together on their little 1% playground.
  11. Brad Pitt was born in Oklahoma. Long range planning and risk consideration is simply not in the water. Explains a lot don't ya think? *He was raised in Missouri (Springfield).
  12. Kinda looks like meatloaf on a stick.
  13. It's hard to find one that is a head to toe shot to know for sure. He was wearing a boot (single) that was strapped to his foot for awhile.
  14. Well, if you get any snow then you know what to do: My parents used to talk about this ^^I guess it was a thing back in the day with this radio guy.
  15. His name is Dave Sheets and your father is surprised he took the washer/dryer when he left? There's an entire thread about asshole stuff like that here: https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/33511-shart-2024-whats-that-spot-on-the-bathroom-floor/#comment-5884309
  16. Cloak Room 2024 going to be a wild ride.
  17. It's a head scratcher. He could've gone into real estate and given his fondness for conspiracy theories probably would've excelled. I mean Roger Staubach made some folding money that way. (From real estate not tin foil hatting.) Or co-own a car dealership (John Elway)and make his own commercials if it's eyeballs he wants. Out of work QBs don't have to sell low T supplements to make a living if they pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
  18. If he doesn't want to get his doors bumped then he should buy a smaller truck; or if he needs that size then he should park farther away in the uncovered lot towards the back. That solves the door ding problem but there's little remedy for his douchiness.
  19. I love John Wick. Retired, just trying to grieve over his wife's passing and they. killed. his. dog. and. stole. his. car. Oh, and Drive was mentioned--great movie there. Some off-the-wall not completely tongue-in-cheek selections for your consideration (I make no claims that all of these would make the greatest movies list): Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) (with Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron) where a young lass, persecuted for her beauty learns how to wield a dagger and fight back against lookism. Big Jake (1971) (John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Richard Boone). Guy trying to make a living as a rancher and goes after grandkid rustlers. Boondock Saints (Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Billy Connolly) Sometimes when you live in a neighborhood without an HOA it's always a fight to keep it clean. Cruella (2021) (Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Mark Strong, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, John McCrea) Precocious artist wants to live her life designing beautiful garments but an evil-minded crone has other plans until young Estella realizes her potential for mayhem and vengeance. The Odyssey (1997 TV miniseries) (Armand Assante, Isabella Rossellini, Bernadette Peters, Greta Scacchi, Eric Roberts, Christopher Lee, Vanessa Williams et al) Veteran wants to go home after the war and the real world whole lotta strange events won't stop hasslin' him so he has to keep fighting.
  20. Women and minorities with a target on their back in the current political climate? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. The old "well we need to judge people on merits therefor DEI talk is bad, 'kay" that quickly morphs into "YOU people (and you know who I mean) don't have the merit to be in these positions and we'll decide what that is."
  21. He was also in Trouble With The Curve and outclassed by Eastwood, Adams, Goodman, and Matthew Lillard, etc. Heck even the guy that played the prima donna slugger who couldn't hit a curve ball was better.
  22. He was too busy purchasing bleach. BULOVA! SWATCH! TIMEX!
  23. Nope, we traveled through DV this summer and while it was higher than TX, it wasn't that high. Also were driving around the PNW in the mountains in the fall and still wasn't 8 bucks. Maybe he means jet fuel for his lil plane?
