  1. We could have a whole "Wives and the stupid shit they bought" thread, I'm sure.
  2. "He was Dentyne" (CSB- the guy in question was a college buddy of mine at our small school in Indiana)
  3. Well, he is from Georgia. It's all relative.
  4. This. This is my surprised face. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/critical-race-theory-invades-school-boards-help-conservative-groups-n1270794 "Conflicts like this are playing out in cities and towns across the country, amid the rise of at least 165 local and national groups that aim to disrupt lessons on race and gender, according to an NBC News analysis of media reports and organizations’ promotional materials. Reinforced by conservative think tanks, law firms and activist parents, these groups have found allies in families frustrated over Covid-19 restrictions in schools and have weaponized the right’s opposition to critical race theory, turning it into a political rallying point. While the efforts vary, they share strategies of disruption, publicity and mobilization. The groups swarm school board meetings, inundate districts with time-consuming public records requests and file lawsuits and federal complaints alleging discrimination against white students. They have become media darlings in conservative circles and made the debate over critical race theory a national issue. Virtually all school districts insist they are not teaching critical race theory, but many activists and parents have begun using it as a catch-all term to refer to what schools often call equity programs, teaching about racism or LGBTQ-inclusive policies."
  5. Right. Delete post, ban user, etc.

    So freaking good... Dan Auerbach on production as well
  7. This may be a stupid question, but is @ChampKind still posted up making amazing food somewheres? I miss his menu updates (and butterfinger brisket photo porn)
  8. Maybe because the song ain't about you?
  9. "Cain't spell 'Citrus' without 'UT'..."
  10. Good to see Peyton in a College Bowl that doesn't have the word "Citrus" in the name.
  11. Nah, the only way to get Ohio people to eat peanut butter is so cover it in chocolate. Related, how great would it be if PB was in another container. That last 1/4 of a jar where you end up with PB on everywhere but the knife while you chase a glob around in circles is just the worst.

    Oh my Lorde /obligatory
  13. My thoughts exactly... Maybe 'youth' is too old for him now?
  14. I get your meaning, but I'm pretty sure this is just the thing that rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, and oceans were invented for.
  15. Nah, I buy it... particularly if those SEC states count sex with siblings/cousins. There's a reason it's called "relations".
  16. Our Senator isn't a Democrat. She's also not a Republican, or a Libertarian. She's a "contrarian". You know, the kid who lives in Austin but just loves the Sooners because he has zero IQ to be different than everyone else. The "Phantom Menace was better than Empire" person, who also believes that Limp Biscuit has a more significant cultural legacy than Pearl Jam. "Beans are the best part of chili!" "The McRib is top quality barbecue... which is better in Pennsylvania, anyway." Starts every sentence with "Well, actually..." and you can get them to disagree with a position they fought to defend just a few moments earlier. Yeah, that guy. Well, that's our Kyrsten. "Whatever I need to do to be different and stand out, that's my position". "Spell my name with an I? As if... I spell my name with a 'Y' and will give you hell if you forget that." "I'm in a predominantly Red state? Cool, I'm a Democrat!" "I'm so edgy... I'm going to be sworn in on the Constitutions instead of the Bible." "I'm the first gay female Senator! Wait I'm not? I meant bi-sexual... the first bisexual female Senator!" "The Democrats need me to vote along with them? Nope, gonna do my own thing..." Hard to be surprised that she doesn't want to get rid of the filibuster... it's something that can let one person be the focus of attention and completely logjam the nation. She has no problems kneecapping democracy, since all she seems to care about is herself anyway.
  17. Chainsaw repair in Texas? I'd probably ask the folks who live here:
  18. Have we heard this story? I feel like we should, if not.
  19. If it makes you feel better, the team moved to a different park since the movie was filmed. Completely different atmosphere, but you can still visit the original. When Nuke gets called up, it should look familiar to (older) baseball fans on this site.
