  1. Speculation that the new Alabama hire (former Michigan coach) may have also shared some of the Wolverine 'prep' strategies
  2. "God, give me the strength to not just smother everyone of these fools in their sleep..."
  3. "If I go any lighter, it won't have enough stopping power for those horned rabbits"
  4. Oh, I don't know... He's still got time to finish coloring in all the pictures in his books.
  5. Since the FLSA figures use minimum wage rates to determine the threshold for exempt jobs, the bump in minimum wage in Washington is having an unexpected impact in higher education. Now coaches and a lot of student development staff who (by nature) work long or irregular hours are being pushed to hourly status (particularly at smaller institutions where 'just raising their salary' isn't an option). Coupled with a number of state laws and DoE requirements, it's also turning a lot of these positions into ones that are primarily administrative (since there are other penalties if you don't follow the regulations) rather than the educational/developmental/mentoring/counseling work that's been their focus. This is unfortunately coinciding with the rise in student emotional health issues and interpersonal immaturity that we're seeing post pandemic. Good times.
  6. Something something Mother Tucker something. I'll keep workshopping it...
  7. Tremendous need to be easily drunk in Lincoln Nebraska
  8. You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner f***in' year at the old NWBuck family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up Johnny." Seriously... I asked the family to not buy anything for me; we have enough 'stuff' and there are lots of opportunities to spend money on people who are in need instead. So my (art student) daughter made me a painting, and the youngest wrote me a letter. The wife purchased tickets for us for a concert... that's on Super Bowl Sunday. Ah well...
  9. Certainly makes an afternoon of skeet shooting a lot more interesting
  10. Two thoughts... She can hear you while she's watching porn? That's an invitation, broseph. She didn't say that she can hear the porn you're watching, so I'm considering the possibility that she's concerned about your friction burns.
  11. Sure, but they lose a lot of points for Sebastian
  12. Yeah, this is fun... (2 minutes in if you want to jump to the smoke)
  13. Didn't realize my Christmas with Anne Hathaway was caught on film. Damn Paparazzi.
  14. NWBuck

    Surly wallet check

    Well, yours is bad, mother fucker.
  15. I'll wave next time I head up to Lake Serene or Wallace Falls or Colchuck or... It's a gorgeous area. We're actually Vrbo-ing in Gold Bar after Christmas
  16. "The olfactory strife in Fife"?
  17. Looks like someone on reddit calculated his bonus to be between $20k (expected) and $24k (realized after the kidnapping)
  18. I love Tacoma, and would live there if I didn't work in Seattle. Although, with the light rail expansion, some of that will be mitigated. Wife lived in the Hilltop area near Stadium high school (10 Things I Hate About You) before we got married. The Stadium District has really developed... Food, pubs, coffee shops; and downtown has a great vibe with all the museums (near the UW extension). There's an area just beyond the Stadium District called the North End that has some great older houses overlooking the Sound. And a bit further north is Point Defiance, a huge park with great hiking trails, a replica fort/settlement, and a pretty cool zoo. Another nice area is University Place, right near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. If you are OK commuting and want to be away from the urban core, Gig Harbor is just across the bridge. Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.
