  1. I've never had a four loko that didn't make me feel like absolute shit. Not from the amount of alcohol, but from the 3 pounds of sugar/corn syrup in each one.
  2. Am I supposed to feel sorry for a bunch of neo-nazis and white supremacists who come to Portland looking for a fight and find one? EMAWesome and Andy Ngo want us to feel bad for a guy who was wearing taped boxing gloves talking shit on the street who got his bell rung and another guy who got his own hammer thrown at him.
  3. There will be interference and shenanigans like in 2016 and 2018, but not enough to overcome how motivated Democrats and independents will be at removing him. His refusal to leave office would also depend on other people enabling him to do so like not certifying the election results. If that were to happen, forget protests, there would be widespread riots across the country. I just don't see it happening. Most in the GOP are political opportunists but dislike him behind closed doors. Many are biding their time until he's gone so they can safely furrow their brow openly and pretend they weren't enabling pieces of shit for four years.
  4. LSU isn't going to leave the conference they have 100 years of history with for less money, exposure, and stability. Plus, they have recently been a national contender in that conference and have proven they don't have to be a perennial also-ran like Arkansas or A&M. It's an extremely small chance, but I could see a scenario where Arkansas could be convinced. As was said, they went from a national brand to regional also-ran in the SEC. Their fans still love to hate Texas and would enjoy the rivalry as well as playing OU and other former SWC schools. The biggest thing they'd lose is the money, but we could close the gap with a school of Arkansas's value. They left the SWC for the same reasons we did. Their administration wasn't as petty as A&M's about going to the SEC. But the biggest hurdle I see in trying to convince any other P5 school to leave their conference for the Big 12 is the reputation of instability this conference has or that it may all come crashing down when the GOR ends. We'd have a better chance trying to poach PAC schools who may not enjoy being last in revenue or some ACC schools who haven't been there a long time or have much history with the conference. My "never going to happen but a guy can dream" scenario would be Nebraska, CU, and Arkansas all feeling regret about their diminished prestige and lack of historical rivals in their new homes and agreeing to come back to their Big 8/SWC roots, putting us at 13 with only one spot to fill.
  5. You may be right. I saw it opening weekend and am paraphrasing from memory.
  6. There's been Waffle Houses in DFW my entire adult life. I've been twice in my 20's and both times really drunk after most places were closed, which is the only excuse I had for going. Your town must be terrible if a Waffle House brings excitement.
  7. When Manson showed up to the house looking for Terry. He was told he had moved and Manson said something like, " Can you tell him I came by. I'm a friend of _____ and Dennis Wilson." I forgot who the other person he mentioned was, but Manson and members of his "family" lived with Wilson for a while and Wilson was the guy who introduced him to Terry Melcher, the record producer. This all kind of seems out of order in the movie though. Dennis Wilson had already introduced them in real life, so he wouldn't have needed to say that. By the time Terry moved out of that house all of them had cut ties with the Manson family (according to some TV doc I saw and some googling).
  8. You seem lost. The Shaggybevo Original Content board is that way ---------> Go play with Badmofo.
  9. You could probably go piss, hang out at the bar and get a drink, post in the Marvel thread what you thought about the movie, and be back to your seat in time to see the credits thanking Canada where it was filmed on location just before the after credits scene rolls.
  10. I loved season 1 and season 2 was decent, but this show feels like it's sputtering out with a whimper. Agree with @longhornmatt's take. And I don't know why but Allison Brie's ridiculous Russian accent has really become grating this season. I'm not sure if they're doing a season 4, it kind of feels like they ended it expecting another season, but I think I'm tapping out on this show.
  11. What conservative politicians have tried to come on his show and were declined? He had Mike Baker on a couple of weeks ago going through all the Fox News talking points. He's had Candace Owens. Ted Nugent got pretty political and conservative on his show. Trump will be the Republican nominee regardless in 2020 so who do you think is supposed to come on his podcast?
  12. No kidding. Her evil ass would probably go and do something like make the guy who allowed Epstein to walk with a plea deal the labor secretary.
  13. Fair enough. Didn't own it and only heard the singles on the radio. I'm painting with a pretty broad brush here. Yeah, they are good. Again, I'm painting with the broadest of brushes. I'm talking more about Puddle of Mud, Limp Bizkit, Nickleback, etc. and the bands I remember always being on the radio at the time. Those were my high school/college years so it was supposed to be my generation's music, but I remember thinking at the time how our music for the most part wasn't as good as everything that came before and every band seemed like they were full of douchebags.
  14. Kid Rock was a product of the late 90's/early 2000's nu-metal/rap-rock era -- arguably the worst and most embarrassing years of rock history headlined by Creed and Limp Bizkit. He had a couple of popular singles almost two decades ago. Why I keep hearing his name as if he's relevant I can't figure out.
  15. Really? I saw tons of those flags the last time I was in England and didn't think anything of it. Although it may have only been because it was during the world cup.
  16. Ladies and gentlemen, playing their greatest hits from 2010, it's the GOP!
  17. Weird. This post almost makes it sound like you don't think the Black Album was Metallica's best album, which would somehow make you wrong.
  18. My company recently had a bad quarter and laid off 12 dogs, so this hits close to home.
  19. I'm still waiting for @TtomTerrific to respond to this post he conveniently skipped over. Please show your work with more specific examples and less anger and name calling.
  20. Ending a tv season on a cliffhanger. There's no guarantee you'll be back next season and many shows have been completely ruined for me by ending without a conclusion to a story arch. I'm looking at you "The Riches." End each season like it's the series finale the way God intended. It's been several years since I watched but I think "The Wire" did this well.
  21. I voted Bernie in 2105/2016 but have been Team Warren since before any candidacies were announced this election. I've been Team Warren this cycle but just listened to Bernie on Joe Rogan's podcast today and I may be back to feeling the Bern. This guy has been fighting the war before most of us were smart enough to realize we were in a war. He's good. I just hope one of these two can grab the nomination.
  22. I first remember Goggins from The Shield, which was one of my favorite television series. I have no memory of him before that, but I have been really impressed with most things he's done since then. Even in a bad movie he stands out as a positive. I went back through his IMDB page and he's in a ton of things I saw growing up. He was in Major League III, the Hillary Swank Karate Kid movie, Joy Ride, and a bunch of other barely memorable movies. It's crazy how one perfect role can blow up your career and turn you from a Hollywood C-lister into Hollywood gold.
  23. Bobby_Batronic is far more concerned with how a terrorist is perceived on the internet than the fact that a terrorist gunned down 20 people. 20 people lost their lives, but what's really important is that we don't attribute his actions to his admitted motivations.
  24. I'm constantly torn between how much I like Bernie and how hard Bad Teammate makes it to like Bernie.
  25. Looks like we've got ourselves a couple of Gary Johnson voters here. Every time I see stuff like this or the deplorable choir I'm reminded of how the right accused the left of worshipping their messiah Barack Hussein Obama. Every accusation is a confession.
