  1. It was a flip comment about having "only one famous person in your lineage" With the way your direct ancestors expand it would be incredible to have only one famous person in your lineage. Not meant as a slight, I assure you, just an observation.
  2. How is that even possible? If so that's more impressive. Each generation you go back expands by a factor of 2. Go back 13 generations and you're talking 32K+ direct relations. Throw in the ridiculous numbers of siblings Americans had in the 16, 17, 18 hundreds and oh boy. That's why when people say things like "I'm related to royalty", I'm like "no shit, aren't we all" I've been only looking at direct relatives and am still amazed, but like I said out of 32k somebody should have done some cool shit. Like founding New Hampshire, immigrated on the Mayflower, or a Revolutionary War General who died of small pox whilst invading fucking Canada.. lulz.
  3. Been thinking about the US and our policies. If we can't have reasonable protections, and politicians are frozen pandering to the fringes of their parties, perhaps there is a non political tool to be wielded. The horror that is randomly visited upon our countrymen does not seem to be priced into the economy. I think American disfunction should be piped into living rooms/social media across Europe and the world. When travel/tourism/educational travel start to tank (rightfully so) I think it will have a greater effect on our policies than sporadic outrage and pain shared by one isolated community after another. I mean it can't have less of an effect, right?
  4. Some stuff you can't know who made the wrong choice, because you don't know the call/scheme. Did the Qb make a bad throw or was the receiver running the wrong route? What was the defense called on this play? But if you think Prime Time watched a full season of 1-11 intensive film study before deciding to salt the earth, you have a lot higher opinion of him than I do. I mean, I'm sure he's not excited about all the attention being on him.
  5. Ah the first of our ancestors to roast coffee
  6. Was it a Hobbs? If so, we're related.
  7. Conversely, I can make anything sound terrible
  8. Well, In one family tree the branches don't split for a generation... thanks Alabama! Literally bother and sister married... cool cool. My paternal Grandfather, who told my father "he had walked across the country around a pool table", appears to have been a complete hustler/cad/playboy My Great Grandmother who had a Jewish name, liked to take my brother and I to Neiman Marcus for lunch and cheese cake, and insisted that I call her "Nana" turns out to be from a long long (very long) line of native Virginian slave holders... so maybe not as advertised. But on upside a lot of my family goes back beyond well beyond 1600 in the US, including some folks put on trial in Salem for Witchcraft, and more than a few familial relations to the founding fathers, and few who settled in Texas in the 1800's (after leaving their wives and children behind in NC, VA, TN, for new wives and kids) My latest immigrant forefather was in the early 1800's from Germany (which is also a surprise) If figured the Germans in my family showed up post WW1 and I hoped were not fucking nazis... Turns out they hated the Prussians. Old school Massachusetts and Virginia up in here...
  9. With god as my witness, I had no idea lesbians wore the same under clothes as my grandfather. Also Jack needs to eat a hamburger or two so her ribs don't stick out farther than her tits. Please see above mea culpa
  10. reminiscent of another Florida Official or Life imitates art
  11. When the Keely/Jack scissoring episode gets dropped, I expect to see some vociferous apologies!

    Bimini

    Been a while since I've been there but here's my suggestion Don't get run over by a golf cart... Bahama mamas @ Big Game Club End of the World / Sand Bar The bones of the old Compleat Angler Check out the sharks under the docks around dusk Get out on the water....
  13. We're talking about the ring, right?
  14. Yet they have time to post about it? I've found some really average people can be elitist gatekeepers... it's hilarious
  15. Very possibly, they could still suck AND have to put up with Deon.
  16. I liked the little touches. Roy's idea about stringing 4 dongs to Jammie's (with Jammie being the man in the middle) was the same as Jammie's idea on the board to play through him not to him. Same diagram, no strings
  17. My .02: half the clothes, twice the cash is key. Plan on doing laundry once every 4-5 days. You won't miss the stuff you didn't bring. You will enjoy not dealing with lost bags our carting around a ton of stuff that sits in your hotel room. I use a Burton Day Hiker 25L
  18. So there are 4 guitars but they each only have 4 strings.... Also the Teles have too few or way too many pickguard screws. Enjoy https://www.npr.org/2023/04/26/1171047855/bill-orcutt-guitar-quartet-tiny-desk-concert?jwsource=cl
  19. I worked at Sears back in high school. Sears was in decline, you could just feel it. But Sears was VERY serious about protecting the perceived value of their tools. Almost cult like I would say. We had a little old man bring in a hammer that looked like it belonged in a museum for tortured tools. It was a craftsman (still barely legible on the head) and the handle was worn down from god knows how much use and the head was taped/nailed onto the old wood that was coming apart. Well we couldn't find it in the catalogs and the old man just wanted another hammer or have it fixed. The manager asked him how old it was and he said he didn't know, but as a kid he got it for christmas from his dad. The manager then told him we would of course honor the warranty and he could have any Craftsman hammer he wanted no matter the cost. He spent about a half hour trying to talk the guy into a really nice "modern" hammer with a fiberglass hand etc... It was lighter and might be easier for him to use, and after all it would be free. Nope, the old guy just picked a basic old cheap plain jane hammer. Usually, we needed to take the old tool, or what was left of it in exchange. (just to be thrown out) But the manager insisted he keep the old one if he wanted since it was a gift. That was NOT done for marketing or future sales, the manager was a true believer. If it was Craftsman, Sears will make it right or better than right. That was not just corporate talking points, it was a point of pride. RIP
