    I had no idea what kinda player Bird was as far as talk (didn't watch NBA until mid90s and even then it isn't televised and talked about like today w social media)...so I hit the googles after seeing last night's ep.  There are LOTS of player interviews talking about how he was one of the best trash talkers...not dirty shit, but just good trash talk about your gameplay vs his, watch this show, etc.

    One per Gary Payton:

    "Bird used to tell me 'Look here man. I'm gonna go shoot this muthaf*cking jumper in your face right there in that corner. And it's gonna be your Christmas present. I'm gonna wrap it up and bust your head open.' All that sh*t. He was the coldest dude I've ever seen with that sh*t man. Everybody be talking about these great greats and we always mention him, he was the sh*t. He give it to you any way he wanted to. Larry Bird was cold. Cold dude man, real cold."

    I knew he was cold and ruthless, but I didn't realize the chewing, crude swearing, etc.  (if that is true)

    It's a dramatization, not a documentary. 

    They played Boston at home in December and won.  Their road swing woe was actually a 5 game stretch in January where they went 3-2 - they beat Indiana and Detroit and Boston and lost to Milwaukee and Washington. 

    They didn't even play on Christmas Day in 1979 (played on December 26 in Kansas City) 

    Their road game in Boston was won on free throws and a missed shot to tie by Byrd.  Magic played 21 minutes in that game because of a groin injury.   LA was leading by 3 after the third Q (77-74). 

    I bet you're fun at parties.

  3. So we just completed an outstanding trip to Manuel Antonio/Quepos (Tulemar), and I already want to get back.  What is the next destination in this great country to see?  Arenal volcano?  Other volcano?  Gulf side?

    But here's a situation that's somewhat unique for me compared to many others on this thread -- since I'm divorced I see my kids 50% of the time.  That means, 50% of the time I don't have my kids, so I have a lot more freedom without child obligations during that time (but still attending a few kid activities here and there during my time off).  It's the silver lining of divorce that nobody wants to talk about.  By no means do I advocate divorce and it was an absolutely shitty experience.  But it has mitigated some of the time suck of parenthood that others on this thread experience.

    Solid.  I agree 100%

  5. Met [mention=626]ernest_t_bass[/mention] and his 2 young daughters (no pics) at the marina last night. They’ve done the waterfall tour and zip lining and seem to be having a good time. My boat is having the 1000 hour service done right now and I’m hoping it gets finished today so we can take them on a booze/sunset cruise this evening.

    Great meeting you! We have to make sure we get a photo together tonight for Shaggy peeps. Hopefully everything works out tonight!

  6. US Cash - If paying in pre-determined set amounts, are high bills (100s/50s) OK?  I've heard that, if you want change, then nothing higher than a $20 bill.  For our excursions, I plan to get larger bills, so I'm not carrying around tons of 20s, etc.  Kosher?

  7. My 16.5 year old daughter is a normal egocentric teen, who worships the ground that her whore mother walks on, and "talks" to dad when she needs something.  Tried to have a conversation with her today, to try and communicate to her how her actions affect people.  That went real well (full sarcasm).

  8. I love my children.  Adopted my oldest daughter, and my ex-wife and I had my 2nd daughter.  I wouldn't give them up for the world.  But... if I had to do it all over again, I'm not 100% sure I would have kids again.  To me it's one of those things where I'm really glad I did it, but I'd never choose to do it again.
