  1. Recent failures...lol, that's a good one. And they now have policies? Sounds like they have the problem under control.
  2. I find it bothersome that these coaches seem to think their responsibility in physical or sexual abuse allegations is to simply report it under "proper" protocol" and then go on with life. As if that absolves them of anything that happens in the future. My boss thinks it OK, so that makes it ok. Nevermind that I promote core values with "treat women with respect" as one of them.
  3. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early July, dead by the 22nd. Fuck me that's harsh.
  4. The "just the tip" and the dogs looking through the red fence got me pretty good.
  5. Anwar has zero inside information and very rarely has a telling point. The idea of people being "xxxx's guys" is pretty overrated. When Charlie purged "Mack's guys" and got "his guys" on the field, they sucked. In fact, "Mack's guys" during Charlie's first year were the best players we fielded for Charlie's entire tenure. Elliott wasn't very good when Charlie was coach. Was it an issue of just needing time to develop? Did he feel like he didn't need to work as hard since he was dating Charlie's daughter? I have no idea, but his development from year 2 to year 3 (Herman's first year) was striking. Also, I find it hard to believe Elliott and Malik were some sort of locker room cancers. The defense improved throughout the season last year, which is the opposite direction I would expect if 2 of the clear leaders were cancers. And Connor played in what, 3 games? He's not influencing much. And it's not like the team lacked effort. The OL lacked ability and our QB made some pretty dumb decisions in "win or lose" situations.

    Work Time Waster

    This is pretty solid advice. It's going to get really boring. Maybe day trading, although that can be risky. Or catch up on your reading list. I like Whitman's suggestions the best. Learn a language and take some classes online.
  7. Is 7 years really "retiring early"? That's way longer than the average NFL career, especially RBs. And like you said, he qualified for the pension after 4, and presumably he's still relatively healthy. I think he's retiring at the right time. If you wait until it starts to hurt before you retire, I'd say you retired too late.
  8. I'm not confused as to the cause of the cluster fuck. I had nothing to do with the decision. I was drafted to help with the cleanup.
  9. Went to Singapore for 2 weeks during a disastrous SAP transition about 15 years ago. Lived at the warehouse from 7am-10pm every day. For lunch, I ate with the warehouse workers who got a non-descript rice, veggie, chicken/pork/shrimp lunch everyday. It was glorious. All of the Americans traveling with me insisted on McDonalds. Mc-fucking-Donalds. Had one of the warehouse managers tell me on the first day that they didn't buy enough of the rice lunches for me, so I handed him a S$100 bill and said I would need him to include me in his lunch purchase every day I was there. That ended up being a fun trip. The days sucked, but I would leave work and hang out at one of the all-night hawker villages for a couple of hours drinking Tiger beer, eating local food. and people watching. 5-6 hours of sleep every night, followed by a long day at the warehouse, and a few peaceful hours by myself at the hawkers stand with my Tiger, satay, gai lon, and murtabak. Rinse, wash, repeat.
  10. I don't know if I've seen that point written. It was understood, but the way you wrote it makes one just shake their head.
  11. I don't think they ever actually got divorced. The $1.2mm doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Aside from his 10+ years being the star of his own TV shows, he's written like 10 books. He's been famous for a long time. I know he's stated he's terrible with money and didn't save anything until his mid-40's, but that was more than 15 years ago. I wonder if he has been putting money away in a family trust, or in his daughter's name, or something that isn't visible when he dies because it's not his money to distribute.
  12. I don't function in the morning without a bowl of cereal with berries on top and a glass of OJ. In the summer, nothing beats a 50/50 mix of Wheat Chex and plain Life, topped with blueberries and a ripe peach. I prefer 1% milk with it. Other times I like Frosted mini-wheats, topped with whatever berries are in season. And lots of them.

  14. Let go of my purse!!
  15. So was riding a bike on a track. She deserved to get hit.
  16. What is brown and sticky? What do you call a camel with 3 humps?
  17. Celebrated with my dad at ABGB on Saturday at lunch. Had a fantastic pulled pork sandwich and a couple of beers. Sunday night I cooked burgers. Garlic peppercorn burger from HEB cooked over combo of oak lump and hickory chunks. Topped with caramelized onions and slice of Swiss for the last minute on the grill. Toasted an onion roll and dressed with whole grain mustard, guacamole, and some greens. On the side were some tots and hushpuppies.
  18. Not really all that curious. You misquoted. The quote is: "Shared what they want the university to know" And if you watch the video, the answer is "they messed with the wrong girls. I'm not letting it go."
  19. I really have no idea why this video stuck with me, maybe because it was on MTV 30 times a day, or maybe because the effects were absolutely horrible. But when I think 80's videos, this is the one that jumps to the front.
  20. Neither. Adding a bunch of refried beans is a good way to end up with soggy nachos. I prefer a crisp chip with the simple gooiness from the cheese and heat from the jalapeno.
  21. Not sure about restaurants, but I'm a minimalist when it comes to nachos. Chips. Cheese. Jalapenos. Layer it and pop in the oven
  22. I would have to think they wouldn't have called it a definitive suicide if he was found with his pants at his ankles and a rope around his neck.
  23. According to this page: https://texassports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5134 Taylor started all 12 games as a Sr and 11 games as a Jr. Not defending giving him a scholarship, but apparently he was the best option we had at center his last 2 years here.
  24. I would have thought their skin actually thinned when stretched like that
