    I was born in 1980 so I’m probably that microgeneration. I was 5 when Breakfast Club came out but out of high school when American Pie came out. 
    We were probably more Varsity Blues, Can’t Hardly Wait or even the I Know What You Did Last Summer group. 

    Yeah I think ours are Can’t Hardly Wait and Varsity Blues.

    I've had success doing a vinegar soak on strawberries to make them last longer.  Especially in the off-season.  

    What I've heard and seen work at our house is to dunk them all in a bowl of water with a dash baking soda. Then cut off the pedicel and store in a clean container (ours looks to be OXO or something similar) in the refrigerator. They make it over 10 days this way. If you keep them in the clamshell just rinsed they only make it a few days before they are moldy.  

  3. Loon, shit-head, or douche...I have zero interest in being in that guy's crosshairs. Now we have a pissed-off, shameless, embarrassed billionaire that's looking for someone else to "find out" while white-knighting for his wife.  Some people stand to get smeared badly by this and he has little to lose in doing so.

    Keep in mind, there are outfitter that “strongly suggest” a minimum caliber (including the outfit you linked earlier).   Typically .30 ((not starting .30 vs 7, I swear) even though .30 is the answer :) )), similar deal to what you see in Africa with the dangerous game and .375H&H and up.  

    “Strongly request” has become “require” for many of them. They will hand you one if you don’t bring one.

    Thanks. I'm looking around for a deal on one.

     

    If you are interested I have the primary arms one he mentioned mounted in geissele rings. Could let you borrow to try it out if local-ish.

    It looked like a shitty throw from this angle. AD was already moving sideways and there’s no way he could have stopped and jumped vertically. Momentum would have taken him out of bounds. The throw is so high you can barely see it in the frame.

     

    Interesting route...

      Based on what I've read, I assume something like a barreled Tikka T3x action mated to a custom synthetic stock would be possible, but from where to source the components and who would be able to assemble to guarantee accuracy (I'm in DFW, btw).  The thing is, I'm under some time pressure and don't want to spend a lot of time wrestling with a rifle's accuracy. 

    Of off-the-shelf rifles, several mentioned Tikka, and it is definitely in my top 3.  A couple mentioned Fierce, which was my all-around favorite, but the interweb horror stories are hard to ignore, plus it seems "boutique" and I'm not sure about taking one overseas.  Surprised that no one championed the X-Bolt.

    300WM seems the crowd favorite, and I don't disagree - just want the brake as shooting my dad's 300 Weatherby Mag w/o a brake is a beating.  30-06 is sentimental as it was my dad's favorite caliber.

    You had me until the bolded. gtfo. pineapple does not belong on pizza.

     

    Pineapple with pepperoni is pretty good. I think that bullshit Canadian bacon sullied my early liaisons with it.

    the ball became uncatchable when QE threw it over AD’s head and into the vicinity of the DB. a throw anywhere in front of AD would have been catchable. there was no chance that AD was catching the ball that was actually thrown, having to first do a 180 to get into a position to even try and catch it, and then having to out leap the DB for the ball which was heading five yards out of bounds. don’t see all of that in your screen shot though.

    You can just say "turn around" and 'jump up"
