  1. Bless your heart.
  2. I reckon it’d be quite a tussle. Learn with Gern!
  3. With conference mates like you, no wonder they want out.
  4. That’s French.
  5. What is the Latin word for astronaut?
  6. I interpreted it as a metaphorical Big 12 is ass, my dude. But, that’s the beauty of interpretation of fine art. If could go so many ways.
  7. Its better to just discover greatness than to have greatness explained to you.
  8. A bumper dumper is a wise investment!
  9. I finally tried Whistle Pig 12 year yesterday. It did not suck. Honestly, if you gave me a blind taste test with that and a couple of middle of the road bourbons and asked me which one was the rye, I'm not sure I could have picked it out. And yes, I know this is rye talk on the bourbon thread. Sue me.
  10. As a non-UT fan, horns-down is always classless. It isn’t necessarily taunting. I’m OK with that being a judgement call by the refs just like it is when an opponent does the Gator chomp. They are both pretty thin ice, IMHO.
  11. That’s a new one on me. Hilarious.
  12. … and apparently Tim Shepherd is not a fan of Ethan Smith…

    Getting old sucks

    Not a doctor, but none of that looks overly alarming. Now, if that is for one of your grandchildren, we might be more concerned…
  14. You are smoking crack if you think the SEC league office is dictating OOC schedules on the individual teams.
  15. USA woman just won the first US gold medal in foil fencing ever, men’s or women’s. And, as usual in my old age, its suddenly dusty in here watching the reaction of her and her coach.
  16. Now who’s being delusional? NO ONE is as cult as Aggy.
  17. You can have them. They were not a rival prior to the jump to 12 teams.
  18. Well said. I like EJ and really want him to excel. I don’t have a ton of confidence in the final result after seeing his limited performance the past couple of years.
  19. Ninja camp. Neighborhood kids decided to set up a bunch of booby traps in a vacant lot in the subdivision (Murcoland, holla!) Fishing wire trip line, dug a hole and covered it with cardboard and a little sand, chopped a small tree almost all the way through so a good shove could drop it on someone, that kind of stuff. None of the regular gang was fooled by any of them, mostly because we all helped make it. However, there was a slightly younger kid visiting his grandparents from out of town. That kid hit every one. The final scene in the ninja camp saga was when he walked under the tree where we had a metal gallon bucket at least half full of dirt with a rope tied to the handle, thrown over a high branch and up at least 20 feet. Yours truly was holding the rope. Teenager me didn’t realize I could kill this kid until just after I let go of the rope. I was able to slow it down a bit, which limited the damage to a few stitches and a knot on his noggin. I’m lucky I didn’t give him a TBI. Don’t even remember the kid’s name. So dude, if you’re out there, sorry about the head wound!

    Colonoscopy

    … and that’s saying something!
  21. My 16 yo son wears a hoodie and shorts for weather ranging from 95 degrees down to 9 degrees.
  22. Wise choice. Dickel has the weirdest multi-vitimin aftertaste to it. Wife bought me a Breckinridge Distillery bottle in CO a couple of years ago. Took one sip, declared it Dickel and forgot all about it.
  23. C’mon, this is Surly. It was everyone’s first thought.
  24. Early reports said he fell jumping out of a hot tub and hit his head on concrete. I’m not saying I don’t trust the coroner, but that sounds much more likely than concussion trauma to his internal organs. Sounds like a whale of a mortar! Commotio cortis maybe? (Google it - nightmare fuel for parents of little league pitchers) But not if he told his teammate not to get in the ambulance. Freaky stuff!
  25. I was there same time with my 14 year old. Nice quaint little tournament with 171 courts playing simultaneously. My ears are still ringing…
