    I was screaming at the screen when the deckhand was trying to push the anchor chain down the spurling while the capstan was running. That's how you lose a fucking hand.

  9. I was impressed by him in the first interview many years ago. The man's military cred is legit. He is smart. He knows how to communicate to the masses. He can lead. I give zero fucks who he fucks.
  10. Pete would be a great Veep.
  11. I'm sure there will be a Congressional investigation to get to the bottom of this. Lock them up! Lock them up!
  12. Look at those fucking jump seats. That had to be Spirit or Frontier a/k/a Greyhound Air.
  13. That just encompasses the spirit of this thread. Improvise, adapt, devour.
  14. JFC this is good.
  15. They are fans of the OG Walt.
  16. Last Breath. Infuckingtense.
  17. Any semi-auto with lots of ammo. I never heard a caliber mentioned. They are pushing the kid and sucker punch guy, but I bet it's someone not mentioned yet.
  18. Bill Mercer has died at 99. Most know him as the voice of World Class Wrestling in DFW, but he had a huge impact on sports radio teaching at North Texas. The list of careers he impacted is long and distinguished.
  19. They didn't think of bone spurs. Fuck 'em!
  20. Well if you do it right out in the open it can't be illegal. Otherwise nobody in their right mind would do that.
  21. The Jews Did This? A constipated United Airlines passenger who spent more than 30 minutes in the airplane bathroom was pulled out with his pants still around his ankles by an irate pilot who broke down the door and then had the humiliated customer frogmarched off the aircraft in handcuffs by law enforcement and detained in a CBP facility. Details of the bizarre but alarming incident have just been revealed after an astonishing lawsuit was filed in a New York district court by the victim, Yisorel Liebb, a visibly Jewish passenger who was allegedly subjected to antisemitic abuse by the enraged pilot. With echoes of the infamous Dr. David Dao drama that occurred on a United Airlines plane in 2018, Liebb says he was left screaming out in pain as Customs and Border Protection officers bent his arm and deliberately tightened handcuffs after he asked the reason why he was being detained. According to court documents, the incident occurred on January 28 when Liebb and a friend boarded United flight UA-1601 from Tulum, Mexico, to Houston. Shortly after takeoff, Liebb went to use the restroom, but after 20 minutes of being inside the lavatory, a flight attendant became concerned and fetched Liebb’s friend to see why he had been gone for so long. Liebb’s friend made contact with him through the lavatory door and relayed to the flight attendant that he was suffering from constipation but should be out soon. Ten minutes passed, and there was still no sign of Liebb. At this point, one of the pilots got involved and ordered Liebb’s friend to coax him from the lavatory. When Liebb didn’t immediately leave the restroom, the pilot allegedly began yelling at him. Liebb tried to reassure the pilot that he “was just finishing up” and would leave the restroom very soon, but the pilot became “visibly enraged” and broke the lock to force the door open. The pilot then allegedly pulled Liebb out of the bathroom with his pants still down around his ankles, exposing his genitals to all of the passengers sitting in the vicinity of the restroom. At this point, the pilot then allegedly made antisemitic remarks about Liebb and “how Jews act.” Once on the ground, however, the pair’s ordeal at the hands of United Airlines was not finished. Unbeknownst to them, the pilot had arranged for the plane to be met by law enforcement, with CBP officers boarding the plane and demanding that everyone remain seated. The officers then made a beeline for Liebb and his friend, pulled them from their seats, and handcuffed them. They were both taken to a Homeland Security facility where they were handcuffed to tables and subjected to “intrusive, unconsented, unwarranted and unreasonable searches.” Liebb claims he sustained injuries to his head and legs as he was pulled from the bathroom, as well as wrist pain from being handcuffed too tight. The pair are demanding compensation from United under Article 17 of the Montreal Convention, which makes airlines responsible for injuries by passengers during an international flight. In the wake of the Dr. David Dao incident, United Airlines drastically changed the way it dealt with non-compliant passengers, with flight attendants trained to de-escalate incidents as far as possible and to avoid physical intervention if at all possible. Flight attendants at the airline often say they are there to advise and report rather than to enforce, allowing United to take follow-up action after the fact. In some rare cases, however, United still trains aircrew to physically restrain passengers should their behavior become so disruptive that they pose an immediate risk to safety,
