  1. Don’t forget the Fast and Cool club.
  2. In retrospect, the funniest thing about that scene is that, in addition to the games you mentioned, they also had War, which is now a real casino game.
  3. Baker Mayfield.
  4. The only time I've needed separate checks is when traveling for business with colleagues and we are on expense accounts from different employers. If it's up to me though, we're sitting at the bar. Let them know upon ordering that it will be separate checks and why, never any issues.
  5. Oh, uh, thanks.
  6. Everything is gonna be expensive AF. I mean, normally, Maui ain't cheap, but you're gonna see 'this must be a mistake' prices on everything.
  7. What kind of commie keyboard do you have? Most 'murican keyboards have an 'n' between the 'b' and the 'm.'
  8. Here we go. He’ll have to earn it. Trout and Ohtani going 1-2.
  9. Perhaps related to the dodgers having one of the highest payrolls?
  10. Are you suggesting that if J'Covan could get by in Russia without getting busted for weed, then anyone should be able to?
  11. Today's was my starting word. Guess I gotta find a new starting word.
  12. Big boy with the HR.
  13. So to kill time and try and get some baseball-related discussion going, when is the starting pitcher actually considered in the game? Not that I can think of a reason to do so, but can we start someone else other than Stevens at this point and still bring him in later?
  14. Kudos to them though for calculating the tip on the pre-tax amount. Makes me surly when they calculate on post-tax amount, which fits this thread.
  15. Well yeah, if by 'reading' you mean National Enquirer or People magazine. Most people use the term 'reading' to refer to actual books.
  16. CSB Waaay back in the day, I was boarded on a UAL from LAX to HNL, sitting at the gate. They announce that they are holding the flight for connections from Denver. I am in 3B or so, not minding the wait due to the upgrade. There's a blonde bimbo behind me squealing on and on 'oh they're holding the flight for my baby, please hold the flight for my baby, my baby needs to get on' I'm not exaggerating, that's almost verbatim. I feel bad for her, thinking it's her kid, of course she's gonna be worried. So we sit there for like 45 minutes, and finally one guy gets on from the Denver flight. It's Pat Bowlen, owner of the Broncos. Bimbo squeals "there's my baby, there's my baby!" So yeah I'm pretty sure the flight was held just for him.
  17. Well yeah, the kids, teachers, and staff all have drills on what to do when something like this happens. The cops? Not so much.
  18. Who's the obese guy in the walker who calls Beto a sick son of bitch?
  19. This PC is such a farce. We won't mention guns. Think of the children! It's a mental health issue! Thoughts and prayers! It's not political! Good on Beto for standing up. He's not a tough guy but I bet he'd kick Cruz' and Goeb's ass in a minute.
  20. They are there to kill all the gophers.
  21. He's saying the quiet part out loud, but everyone has known the quiet part forever...or at least since 1979. I'd be hard pressed to name any elected official on Capitol Hill that knows more about China and Taiwan than him. Heck, he was on the Foreign Relations Committee when One China and the Taiwan Relations Act were drafted in 1979.
  22. My favorites are the ones with obviously shortened/anglicized names.
  23. csb - I have a dash cam and very similar thing happened to me. Kid pulled out in front of me trying to make a left. I swerved to avoid, hit the median and f'd my front end all up. No collision with the kid's car. To the kid's credit (or dumbassery) he stopped. A car behind me also stopped and said they saw the whole thing and would tell the cops so. Cop shows up, talks to the kid, talks to witness, assigns blame to the kid in his report. I call the kid's insurance company and of course they give me the insurance company runaround. "Yes sir, we have the police report and know the cop assigned blame but until we talk to our insured, we ain't gonna do a gotdamn thing and he has 30 days to respond to us." I send them the dash cam video and they immediately say "yeah OK we'll pay for all the repairs." Tl; dr: get a dashcam. Also, don't tell anyone you have the video until you actually see it yourself. There were a couple of minor details that I remembered wrong.
