  1. "Why do they give out Purple Hearts? Hearts are red. Grape soda is purple. It's an old-fashioned word, purple. Sounds silly when you say it out loud, if you really think about it. 'Purple'? Come on. I'm gonna reward myself a Red Heart, maybe the only one we'll ever give out. The doctors say my heart is in unbelievable shape, maybe the reddest they've ever seen."
  2. This performance always gets me.
  3. Down one shot, Schmid had a fried egg from the bunker on 17 after a bad approach shot, then decided to play it right of the green into deep rough to keep the ball semi-close to hole. Dottie and the crew were incredulous that he would be so conservative in that situation. He did "save" bogey though. His flop hole out on 18 was pretty awesome though.
  4. I'm going to London in a couple of months with my son (his first overseas trip). I used to spend a month there many summers as a kid at my grandparents' house. Any time I brought up I was American or from Texas, every local's eyes lit up. They'd ask if I had a horse or a ranch (thanks to Dallas and the Ewings) and people had reverence for our country and state. I was always proud to mention it. Now we'll understandably be met with this anytime I bring up where we're from:
  5. What a shitty fucking Sunday round. Winner (Ben Griffin) went +4 with no birdies over last 16 holes of tournament. Terrible golf from him and Schmid until a little drama on 18. Rickie was in the final threesome and played the worst of them all. Ugly stuff.
  6. Pacers are fun to watch and easy to root for as well. Best case scenario for basketball fans is a competitive finals vs. OKC.
  7. Tesla drivers are by far the most brainless and unaware on the Houston roads IMO. The next time I see one speed up will be the first time in years. No difference between a Tesla driver and a 95 year old lady in a Lexus sedan at this point.
  8. Brit pop nostalgia.
  9. Ooh, a deconstructed food poisoned ass blast.
  10. I'm guessing this all stems from this op-ed from the New York Post from April 5th: https://nypost.com/2025/04/05/opinion/harvard-univ-the-ivy-league-teaching-remedial-math/ Feels like Trump's bootlickers just pitch him on their fascist and racist ideas and he goes along with it. He is a simple and stupid man, and any sycophant can easily convince him because all he needs is undying admiration and praise.
  11. The current presidential administration does broken brained shit like this dozens of times on a daily basis, but it's a few Surly posters that are the real problem in this country.
  12. Played golf with my MAGA buddy yesterday, we got paired up with a couple of really nice guys in their 60s, one went to Texas the other was an Aggie, who both seemed to be Trump guys as well. The only time politics were brought up is when the Horn said he read Tapper's book about Biden and recommended it to all of us. Talking about how out of it Joe Biden was and wondering who was really "pulling the strings". He said he actually didn't mind Biden throughout the years, that he was a "centrist" but seemed upset about all of the progressive things that happened during his presidential administration and that other people had to be in control. Interesting that Trump didn't really come at all. I liked the guy. He was super knowledgable about all Texas sports and walked on the football team back in the late 70s/early 80s. Shit, maybe he lurks/posts on here. But I guess it's bad policy to try and help people in need. Oh well. We're fucked.
  13. Correct. A nonviolent re-calibration to a working democracy and society is in the hands of 70 million people that voted for this piece of shit and his "policies". Either they wake up or they don't. Basically, we're fucked.
  14. Unbelievable win. Pacers fans have to be floating during this postseason run.
  15. From what I've seen, Ossoff is pretty good. Way better than Booker.
  16. You are correct. But I would frame it as the #1 thing they care about is being re-elected and having a position of power. And in order to do that, they have to stay on the good side of corporations and AIPAC. I don't think most come into office with the goal of backing corporations and Israel. A lot of leftists have been pissed at AOC and have accused her of being a sellout. I don't agree, as you have to play the game in Congress. I think she's done a good job of balancing her ideals with surviving/rising through the ranks.
  17. Smoke show. And when she was letting loose on the dancefloor at the wedding by herself...goddamn.
  18. If one high up Dem stands in front of a microphone and calls on Schumer to resign, they would immediately be considered a 2028 Dem presidential candidate. This is a meatball, someone just please fucking swing.
  19. I think we need to re-define what healthy masculinity really is for young men. These right-wing losers and incels have focused on a incredibly pathetic version, and it's been working. "Gays! Trans! Woke!" - Really? Is it "manly" to bitch and cry and moan about what other people do in their lives? Sounds to me like dudes acting like little tittybaby bitches. Mind your own fucking business. Who gives a shit what other people do if they're not intentionally hurting other people. Being a man is being respectful to everyone. Being a man is not whining and complaining about how other people appear. Being a man is acting confident in your moral compass and defending others. Be a rock, not a spineless shitbag.
  20. I came up with a simple rule/question for any future discussion about people's identity or appearance with my kid: Are they trying to purposefully hurt other people? If the answer is no, then who gives a shit. Let them live their life. Easy peasy.
  21. Sturgill been mentioned yet? Sturgill.
  22. 100 fucking percent. This issue with young males is because of their parents. We have a newly transitioned family member. My 7 year old asked about it, we discussed for 10 minutes, and it's now a non-issue. It's not that fucking hard.
  23. We did that in 2020, won the election, and look where we are today. We need someone exceptional. People need to be inspired by a fresh movement or this bullshit will just continue.
