AA flight 5342 Crash Media Circus Thread
My comments were more directed at those who were actively hoping that specific political figures were killed in the crash. I have no problems with people ridiculing statements about DEI possibly being a factor. That's worthy of ridicule. But actively wishing death on someone just because you dislike them politically is absurd and should never be tolerated. And yes, someone did specifically say they hoped a certain someone was on that helicopter.

American Airlines flight 5342 (CRJ) collides with Army UH-60 at DCA.
Yes, we should hear what govt officials have to say about it. But we shouldn't have to hear what you or anyone else has to say about govt officials in this thread except when directly commenting on their direct comments or actions in relation to this event. Spew your hate for either side in CR where it belongs.

Lame joke thread
I saw a guy at the bus stop holding a bag of balloons. I asked him if I could buy one for my kid, and he said, "Sure. One dollar." I pulled out my wallet and asked if he could blow it up for me since I'm not really good at that. The guy agreed and blew up the balloon. He handed it to me and said, "That'll be two dollars." I said, "You told me it was only a dollar! Why are you charging me two dollars now?" The guy replied, "Inflation."

Lame joke thread
Bob decides to throw a costume party and puts up signs in his neighborhood, inviting everyone. The party is going well when the doorbell rings. Bob answers it and finds a man standing there with a woman clinging to his back. The guy asks, "Is this the costume party?" Bob answers, "Yes, but why aren't you in a costume?" The guy says, "I am! I'm a snail." Bob looks him over and says, "Why do you have a woman on your back?" The guy says, "That's Michelle."

In honor of Luigi, stories/vids/pics/shit of people who had enough
A friend of mind was in that building, on that floor, in a meeting down the hall when that happened. Said there was a huge boom, the building shook, ceiling tiles were falling out onto them. I saw the smoke as I was driving to work and heard on the radio what had happened. Called him as he was heading down the stairs and out of the building. He was kind of in shock.

On what subject should you be considered Surly's resident expert?
Fixing old-school arcade games. Basically- if it was built in the 70s-90s and you could drop a quarter in it for some fun, I can probably fix it. And maybe shooting pool. Or I was. I've played in the national championships in Vegas a few times. Don't get to shoot much these days.

2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
When do we find out which conference the refs will be from? I like our chances with the ACC. If we get Big 12 refs then we'll have no shot unless we come out like we did 49-0 vs ou.

Hard to think of in that quick of a moment, but I think Quinn could have thrown a pass instead of taking the safety. Ball never hit the ground. Should be treated like a flea flicker.

I had a 1978 Datsun B210GX. Pretty sure I put in a shitty stereo back in the day with no problem.

So we play at 3pm on the 21st. That's my dad's birthday. He passed a few years ago so hopefully he can put in a good word upstairs. Saw the game is on TNT/Max? Next game vs ASU is on Jan 1st at noon on ESPN.

The hard part about winning in OT are the holding calls against us that will push us back to the 45.

Uh-oh. We have a chance of tying or winning. Better get the refs back on script.
