  1. Got a little wordsmith'n to share with ya Aggies. Whooop! Kicking off with a double entendre. Nice! 1 I bet the Chamber of Commerce can't weight wait to get their hands on that slogan, Olin! 2 Extra girth ('nother double entendre there, ol' buddy?) leads to trump card. Not sure you've got a great handle on the various uses of the term girth or what a trump card is. Stop drinking beers with Brauny (but, he's soooo dreamy). 3 In case readers missed it in the headline. Milk that motherfucker! Depending upon which type of girth your referring to, that few pounds can be a pretty big deal. Otherwise....who cares? Olin presses for precision. Investigative reporter stuff. Think of all the words you could have saved by saying approximately or around 180. Useful words, Olin. Useful words. We narrow down which girth is meant. What follows is extensive family size history. Fortunately, Olin ties it all together in the very next paragraph. I see Olin made William's annual editorial staff meeting about constructing the annual rollercoaster: Just a few hurdles to clear, notes our good friend: Start engraving the Heisman! Look at the juggernaut he'll be directing: Rolling. Ball. Of. Butcher. Knives. 1 Inspires fear in somebody, no doubt. 2 Just ask those Bowling Green Seniors! 3 Terrifying. Poor Olin. Come here, pig. Have some lip gloss. I love the way this paragraph just slowly, inevitably deflates. Fully maximize! Makes sense it'd be different. At least to some extent. It was a good decision to delete the ah, fuck at the end. Has Olin forgotten his opening double entendre as he drifted off into fantasy land about the Aggie offense? No. Not our man. Bring it on home, Olin, as only you and the cheesiest mid-century sports writers can do.
  2. Persuasion is a dead letter with cultists. I believe abduction and reprogramming are the usual method of attempt. Welcome to your first day of re-education! Only it will be us instead of the dedicated cult. I think the pain theory of turning MAGA against Trump is the most viable short of the military. Thing is, they'll just want someone who really focuses on non-white, non-hetero, non-idiotic targets. Trump has said this was the last election and that nothing is illegal if you're saving the country. How it goes: He invokes state of emergency to "delay" elections. He continues thumbing his nuts and spewing outrageous idiocy while the succession planners set it all up for the real tyranny post-Trump. With any luck, the humans are all distracted by the melting earth, rampant famine, and plagues. As I've been surprised to ponder since before Trump's first insurrection: Where does the Army stand? Bayonets for thee or me?
  3. Thanks, I'm now embarrassed about my post. Compliments on your civility here.
  4. Please demonstrate wit or the ability to come up with something fresh. You likely don't grasp the irony of you writing the above after you dully said that what I was doing with Rex. Nice graphics, though.
  5. Start what? It's the climate thread. I don't engage in pointless argument. Maybe mind your own business or try to know what you're talking about.
  6. I didn't know what you meant by Greta. I'm a Greta, then. The below is true: She's worth a thousand of me and some high multiple of that of you. I suppose you dismiss her because she was just a girl when this started, and manly manful men don't want to have anyone think they could ever adopt the words of a female. Fuck you. Fuck your EROI. Fuck your devotion to obtuseness. Fuck your part in dragging down the republic. Fuck your face, fuckwad.
  7. We're trying to work up enthusiasm for the nominees. Sad that this thread is way down on page 2, but not surprising. Fuck the studios for not making a little more investment in quality. Saw Emilia Perez last night. Fabulous feat of imagination and filmmaking. I had no idea Zoe Saldaña had such talent. I was moved. I know there's some hubub about one of the leads political comments. That really shouldn't affect the judgment of the film, but it likely will. And what the hell is Saldaña doing nominated for supporting actress? It's her movie as far as I can see. Should be best actress.
  8. Here's a bigger question for you: What is the connection between denying science and global warming? I guess there was no world prior to fossil fuels. How could there be without individual vehicles carrying tens of millions of people to and from the same place everyday? No jet skis, motorboats, snowmobiles, power lawnmowers, leafblowers, ATVs? Existence of a world is impossible without that vital stuff.
  9. Thanks, Biff. I recall it being mentioned in passing back in college. Glad to see the explanation. Solid quote from article: Bingo!
  10. I believe they are also complicit in killing extant mass transit. General Motors Streetcar Conspiracy Thank goodness we now have laws and regulations restraining the robber baron urge! Never again will the wealthy have such sway!
  11. That's it. Most of us are very comfortable. It's human nature not to fiddle with that too much. I think this is why opposition must be unified in great numbers acting at the same time. What if we all decided not to pay taxes on time? Delay for a month, maybe. What if we all boycotted Amazon for two days? What if we all decided to stop all automobile traffic for two hours one day in every city? Those are all things that could be done in unison making it unlikely that many participants will be arrested. Many willing to be arrested could be in the forefront. Note that these are things that demand little from the participants. The greatest physical exertion would be sitting in your car for a few hours. Just trying to be realistic about what large numbers of people might be willling to do. We could all wear ribbons, but that's become embarrassingly impotent.
  12. Big news in College Station. Powerhouse added to 2026 schedule!
  13. Please do. I can't just watch this aspect of the coming fascism unfold without doing something. Thanks and, sad to add, be careful out there.
  14. Reading all of that is more of a sacrifice than I'm willing to make. Of course, joking. Thanks so much. My ignorance is partly remedied.
  15. Oh, don't be so woke.
  16. They are going to hate us so profoundly and righteously. The rusting carcasses of giant pick-ups and SUVs under globally warming skies will be our legacy. The oligarchs will likely come out okay.
  17. You could certainly be right. We'll just have to see. I don't think many are saying this is happening exactly like Germany. We started as a democratic experiment and improved on the model over the generations. I think our general misunderstanding of democracy in the last century has been that it's an evolutionary peak. The wise, pragmatic Greeks saw it all as a cycle. Monarchy, democracy, anarchy, monarchy... (I think that's right). Democracy and liberty as causes to fight for got deformed into Capitalsm and moral law in the second half of the last century. It's hard, apparently, to keep a vision of a country consistent over generations. I'm writing too much, aren't I? Free time and free thought.
  18. We're of like mind, and I know that. Thanks for this post, and you had/have a point.
  19. Ouch.
  20. They will also have generated a new norm with two years to take hold. I think that's also part of the blitzkrieg strategy. I guess that fits with the Hitler metaphor, doesn't it?
  21. That reads like a football recruit commitment tweet.
