  1. My son had soccer practice on Saturday (indoors), and the coach said they may cancel Monday's pratice due to heat (it's outdoors today starting at 615pm). Forecast says 104 at 6pm and 100 at 8pm. Apparently that's not hot enough to cancel. Practice is on.
  2. The internet says Bad Idea Jeans commercial was 9/29/90
  3. Several years ago we hired a new Director of Product Marketing. There was a guy on the team that was totally passed over. He had experience, was really smart, well respected by the team and company, but the new boss hired his buddy into the role. First meeting I'm in with the new Director, he's presenting something in front of his team, his boss, and an adjacent team (mine), and it sucks. His boss (his buddy who hired him) said something about focusing on the 4 P's and giving a new readout in a week. About 2 minutes later the guy who got passed over sends me a work IM saying the Director just sent him a note asking what the 4 P's were. Couldn't even bother to Google it before showing his ass to the most senior person on his team. My friend spent about 2 months teaching the Director the basics of marketing before he left for something different.
  4. I guess I don't really understand the definition of a vocalist given some of the comments and suggestions. I would have thought to be considered a vocalist you need great technical skills. I would put Roy Orbison and Linda Ronstadt up against anybody not named Freddie Mercury.
  5. I'll give credit where credit is due. First comment was "when you're coming 'round first and you feel something burst..." And there were 4-5 comments confirming that they, too, we're experiencing diarrhea. Serious responses. I was expecting some complete trolls describing the color and smell of theirs, but none of that.
  6. Just had this pop up from 4 days ago. Not sure why NextDoor decided to send me an email today about it. BTW, for reference, I live ~10 minutes from Belterra, so she decided to send this to the wider surrounding area: "Has anyone been sick with diarrhea this weekend? I woke at 1:30 just miserable. I did make coffee with tap water. Wondering if that caused it. Another friend in Belterra is also sick"
  7. So if 5 days come and go and there is no announcement, then it's "yea, that didn't pan out. But just wait until I tell you something else that may or may not happen in the next 5 days. Keep clicking hte website and checking in to see if it happens."
  8. Had to take my son's bike to the shop in Colorado after a couple of rough days of downhilling. Didn't need anyting massive. Bleed the bakes, make a few adjustments, etc. It took 3 days, and when I went to pay it has "suggested tip" on the screen. Bottom rung was 15% for "ok service". Huh? There's already a labor charge on top of hardware. So tipping is expected for "ok service". Fuck. That. Your business is parts and labor. I paid for both. It's not like they cut me to the front of the line. I had a moment like the OP.
  9. I had no idea Jason Taylor coached there. Living in South Beach being coached by a NFL HOFer isn't a bad sales pitch. I assume Miami would find a way to line his pockets as well.
  10. Buncha women's shoe salesmen on this site.
  11. Wasn't The Horn part of Austin Radio Network with Koke FM? The football and basketball games were simulcast. I'd imagine football and basketball are still broadcast on ARN, unless their contract was up.
  12. Same. Crested Butte until July 18th.
  13. He died a couple of years ago. I went to TexAgs for the first time in about 4-5 years last week, and there was a thread on the Old Rivalries board about it. And it sparked a memory that someone on this board had mentioned it a few months ago. Maybe CTJ.
  14. The Athletic employed 500 people as part of "journalistic staff"?!?! What the hell does that include? 20 people = 4%. 5 people = 1%
  15. Not sure how a PBJ is disqualified because it's an "at home sandwich", but grilled cheese is allowed. That's as "at home" as they come. And a sandwich is a sandwich. You can make any of them at home. I'll submit turkey and Swiss with mustard, but not sure it adheres to your rules.
  16. I assume this is somehow Bob Cole's fault.
  17. LOL, I googled it to see if this was just a joke. Nope...true story.
  18. I'll be traveling to Hamburg, Germany in a couple of weeks on business. Never been. I'll essentially have most of the afternoon and evening on a Sunday, and then Monday through Wednesday evenings to do what I want. At first glance on a map, it looks like it would be a cool place due to all the canals it's situated on. But the pictures just look like any other big city. Anyone have recs on things to do, places to eat, etc. I do like jogging, so any cool parks or areas of town to jog in the evening would be appreciated as well.
  19. You sonofabitch. This hits a little too close to home, except my kids didn't start playing until they were 5.
  20. Great news! By Jan 2025, when they are 8 years and $100M invested in the coaching staff, they'll know if Jimbo is the guy.
  21. We ain't getting shit in Driftwood. Had a decent 10 min shower in the afternoon, but that's it. Future radar shows we'll get very little. Mother Fuck.
