  1. The concept sounds @Steel Shank worthy, but the idea of getting it at KFC makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
  2. I'm assuming this was an autocorrect victim. The Purple Porpoise was a staple on the strip for a long time. Definitely belongs on the list. (insert angry dolphin joke here)
  3. Pour one out. Grad school for me 93-95, GA on the Sports Medicine staff. To this list I would add the oh-so-politically incorrect Chinee Takee Outee and the $3.99 large one topping carry out special at Hungry Howie's.
  4. Who is the bigger douche? The blue Ford, who parked with his rear wheels on the line at the back of his space, or... the black GMC who chose to park in the spot behind him anyway?

    That ice machine (Iceman? PolarCare? Can't tell fromt he pic) will be your best friend for the next few weeks. Use it. A LOT. Pro tip: bigger pieces of ice keep it cold significantly longer. fill some Solo cups with water and freeze them, then put several in every filling along with regular ice. run warm water over the Solo cups until you can pop the ice out, refill and repeat. Former Athletic Trainer and sold both brands at different times in my younger years.
  6. Best of luck. My wife and I were lucky enough to go 2 for 2 on IVF 19 and 17 years ago. Best money ever spent.
  7. As in breakfast, biscuits and gravy style sausage gravy? Hell. Yes.
  8. Am I the only person that opened this thread this morning and briefly panicked when I saw Page 404 in the header tab? Not sure if that means I need to drink less or pour one now to calm my nerves.

    Wow, SA, you were committed to that 'clean as a whistle' mantra, weren't you?

    I have only hair metal rock and grunge to blame...

    I'm seriously considering going for an evaluation for hearing aids. Picking up conversation in a noisy environment just keeps getting harder and harder, but the memories of old farts with ringing feedback that I can hear but they couldn't from my youth gives me pause. Can anyone speak to the progression in technology in recent years? If so, please speak up nice and loud!
  12. This seems like a good place for this. I got a phone call yesterday from my natural gas provider (Piedmont) asking if I was interested in their Green Edge program, which essentially boils down to me paying an extra fee to them each month that they "would use to help the environment and reduct my family's carbon footprint." Based on our usage history they said I could start for as little as $6/month. I don't think so, scooter.
  13. I hope your doc drew blood to check your electrolytes while you were there. Extreme high or low levels of things like magnesium, potassium or calcium can have, how should I put this, less than ideal effects on your heart.
  14. Show me where I said it was purely political. Of course the decline in magazine use in general was the biggest contributor, but if those changes were an attempt to broaden their base, they did so (to some extent) at the cost of alienating a sizable percentage of ther actual remaining base.
  15. Apples and oranges. Google says that the first SI cover to include a black woman was Tyra Banks in 1996. She's been on three, and there have been others. I remember the howls of protest either on this forum or on its predecesor when the swimsuit issue with plus size models came out. Personally, I didn't have a problem with it (I like big butts and I cannot lie). However, a pretty dude in a bikini? I'm gonna have to draw the line there. You guys can flame me all you want, but the "Go woke, go broke" cause and effect appears to be rather consistent, whether you like it or not.
  16. Perhaps there is some correlation?
  17. This thread makes me glad it's not worse. 5-ish inches of snow in the Nashville burbs, another 1-2" expected by end of day, temps in the low to mid teens all day. Not supposed to get above freezing again until Thursday. School already cancelled tomorrow and Wednesday, I suspect they will be out all week. 4WD vehicle parked at the top of our steep-ish driveway, so I can get out when I have to - which I am sure I will at some point. You gotta love being 'essential'!
  18. That's just flat out bragging. Perfect for around here. Just be sure to include a firearm with the accompanying picture.

    I work in the arrhythmia industry (pacemaker/ICD sales) and work with some finominole EP with very high success rates in A-Fib ablation. I highly recommend the procedure, assuming you aren't older than ArmyBrat. I even know a graduate from the EP fellowship program I work with here that is in practice in Denver. PM me if you want a name. 15 years ago I would have said it's too new, no long term data, etc. That procedure is legit if you are in the hands of a high volume ablater. Do your homework, but do it.
  20. Quality humblebrag right here. Well played.
  21. Almost to page 2 and we aren't even halfway through January. 2024 is going to be messy...
