  1. it’s the new King Cotton. Look how well that worked out.
  2. Just maybe, as a guy who gets dunked on unnecessarily around here, you should not be dunking unnecessarily on a poster whose opinion was not rude or outlandish, simply one you or I might not agree with.
  3. ?? Do you think the Gators should not get a bid to the tourney? That 1 win in the first 4 SEC series (with many injuries) sucked, but we’ve won every series since then - and have a very low RPI. Because I think that turning it around matters. Late good should always weigh more than early good, IMO. We have the second longest bid streak in the country, as we have appeared in the tournament every year since 2007. Last year we had to beat Georgia to get above .500 to accept a bid. We still made it to the quarterfinal. I’m obviously biased, but I don’t think Florida as a three seed would be the worst travesty ever.
  4. Look on the bright side. In a few more years Austinrrakis will be collecting all that sweet spice mining coin.
  5. This. it is astounded to me whenever a business or firm will allow an employee to leave over essentially a pittance difference in benefits/salary when that employee is the holder of institutional knowledge that is incredibly valuable to the business. I really love the movie Margin Call. The one guy in the organization who figured out that they have a huge problem with mortgage securities (that’s about to take out the whole company when folks figure out they have little value) was let go on some stupid cost cutting move. Without giving away the movie, as he’s literally being walked out the door he gives a heads up to his subordinate to look into the issue. The shorter version of the movie would have been if he did not do that - and a month or so later the whole damn firm goes under and loses everything. But, yeah, let’s save some money and fire the older guy or gal who knows a bunch of shit and hire the cheap know-nothing college grad.
  6. Nice jewelry. I think I recognize that from the Jim Baker collection.
  7. Art. Of. The. Deal.
  8. how many firms are there in America? How many biglaw firms have bent the knee? How many big law firms have lost partners and associates and clients because of bending the knee? Your assumption that nobody is up in arms is simply false.
  9. They do. But ten years or so ago a bunch of posters on Shaggy told me it would annoy you off if a gator posted on the Texas board, and to come over. I really have no idea what they have against you. You seem nice.
  10. I don’t think the interwebs went after him. So I guess not. Why on earth should he not have gotten in Williams’s face after that display? If one of our batters had acted like Jonah and your first baseman not had a word to say about it, I would have less respect for your guy. There’s nothing wrong being confident, nor is it a sin to be a little chippy in the heat of the contest. Jonah now knows to tone it down a bit that’s all. And it had to be the least important event in the whole three game series. Good luck this week.
  11. The Dentites from Tennessee?
  12. Why would ya? But I’m pretty sure the Fox News and Reddit posters were not mostly gators. Jonah’s attempts to get the crowd and his teammates fired up was not something I have a real problem with. Sure, I would’ve preferred to see a brushback pitch after - just because that’s enjoyable old school baseball to me. But good grief, he’s young - and I think the entire experience will turn out to be a good lesson. At least he had a good sense to do it at home. If he’d made his error at the wall the next game after Stare-O-Rama and it was in Gainesville, that would not have been as fun. For him. That would’ve been a crowd pleaser. All both programs need getting ready for the tourney is healthier pitching staffs. A team of average meatheads with two starting aces and a wicked closer is all you need to make a decent run. And don’t worry, y’all are gonna be regular season champions..Why? because the Aggies will hate that….And God hates Aggies.
  13. So - if inflation is in the twos range - this 30% price increase won’t affect that. You see, a pimp’s love is very different from that of a straight.
  14. Instead of a Sharpie?? Talk about your trigger discipline… Yes, yes it is….
  15. Good to know. it popped up, and lately it has been difficult to tell Onion articles from the daily news.
  16. i’m sure they have some say so in how you can tax people if the money is going to go to the feds. Nothing about that law prevents the state from taxing healthcare providers to go into a fund where the state sets up its own Medicaid type program. Which is after all what they are trying to do - get the federal government out of our lives and let the states pay for everything and do everything for its citizens. Just think, in some bright, sunny future day it will be several Governors throwing paper towels at the crowd after a hurricane - and not POTUS.
  17. Can’t see the sharpie - the photo’s cut off at her midsection.
  18. Whelp. GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill wants to reduce the funding of Medicaid - and to gut Medicaid expansions. The party of states’ rights and small federal government has a provision in the proposed bill that prohibits local governments from taxing hospitals and healthcare entities to raise taxes to support Medicaid. It’s not enough that the federal government will cut Medicaid money - they have to make sure that local governments can’t tax anyone (so that their white boot strap money does not go to those dirty, criminal, brown immigrants stealing all the healthcare, don’t you know?) Stupid liberals are gonna make some noise about this, because they fail to see that all those Medicaid moochers will be working long shifts in the new factories. Those new jobs will include healthcare. Which means the people on Medicaid can just wait until they get those new jobs and have big beautiful private healthcare. Like God intends.
  19. “You mean the war after I stopped that other war? if you keep on telling lies, I will ban you from the next press conference.”
