  1. Temple kick returner is a dumbass
  2. Yes, but did he inspire another meme this time?
  3. Ha, Oregon St coach, Trent Bray, just dropped an F bomb on the end of first half interview. It's been a pretty atrocious half. Down 20-15 to Fresno St. Maalik has looked good at times, but the beavers keep shooting themselves in the foot.
  4. Beavers hit a 54 yard field goal , 14-3 Cal
  5. Beavers down 14-0 early to Cal. Malik Murphy fumbled the first snap and had to fall on it.
  6. Maybe they'll have the Fox crew join them to pay tribute to Corso since Fox has said they are gonna show it also
  7. That food looks terrible
  8. I seen that crowd your runnin with, Don't THINK I haven't noticed!
  9. Until we get rid of the electoral college and implement multimember districts not based on gerrymandering, third parties ain't gonna happen except as a spoiler for the party they siphon a few votes off of
  10. Countdown to a republican using the annoying term "nothing burger" for something that is quite a big something burger
  11. Hey, at least we're 133 and climbing, while aggy is 242 and falling like a rock
  12. Sorry about the Sagan bombardment, all this shotbgas got me thinking a lot of when I saw him speak as a freshman at UT at Bass Concert Hall. definitely had an impact
  13. “I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls. The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir.” Sagan-1995
  14. “We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” Sagan-1995
  15. “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan -The Demon Haunted World (1995)
  16. I remember when I was a kid, I was getting out of the theater with my parents when a mugger came up and tried to steal my mom's pearls. My dad tried to fight him but they both ended up getting shot and dying. Since then I have sworn an oath to pursue justice against all evildoers. I will add this lighter and gas pump technique to my repertoire.
  17. Nope, Caprock. We did often pick up smokes there for my friend’s mom though.
  18. That’s the one. Right by 27th. Although I think they’ve rebuilt it since then
  19. Never been all that much into pinball, but thought these two were interesting when i went to the local pinball bar near where I live now in Portland. First one probably would have drawn protesters in Amarillo, and I thought the second was interesting trying to capitalize on Apollo-Soyuz
  20. Grew up in Southeast Amarillo (not the swanky southwest side). There was a Toot n Totum (local convenience store chain) about a mile from our house we'd ride our bikes to, taking shortcuts down alleys and vacant lots, dodging crazy dogs, and angry old people who didn't like us riding across the lot next to their house. At the Toot n Totum, or as we referred to it, Fart and Fetchum, they had a little room with a couple arcade games that would rotate. I remember playing Spy Hunter, Tiger Heli, 1942. When we ran out of quarters, we'd shoplift a few pieces of super bubble (allegedly),then ride out into that hot, dry, dusty wind like the badasses we were, now headed for the lot that had the sweet jumps.
  21. Is there a country that produces no women that are irresistable?
  22. It's not that impressive, I used to bullseye womprats in my T-16 back home
