  1. I enjoyed the first two seasons, but am finding the third a little slow. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had not read the books. It’s like they hired someone who read the books ten years ago to write a one paragraph synopsis and list every character name they could remember and then handed that to writer who had no idea who Asimov was to write the script.
  2. When I watched it, my first thought was that this looks like something filmed during lockdown.
  3. So you're only inviting the Houston area Surlyites
  4. Damn, it looks like Santa fell out of his sleigh and got trampled by the reindeer
  5. There is no U in happiness
  6. That’s what the ballroom is for
  7. I’m guessing that the meeting in Alaska ends with Putin’s owning both Ukraine and Alaska
  8. You would be better off keeping the dogs and tv in the bedroom and putting the wife and your $16k Ferrari bed in the detached guest house
  9. Except it's not so much fun to watch when he burns down your house
  10. Every dog that has ever been my companion is buried under some trees in a pasture at our ranch. It has always been my hope, and my final instructions make it clear, for my ashes to be put in a tree pod in that same pasture. My mom is 95 and fading pretty fast, and it has become pretty clear that the ranch won't survive for very long after she passes. This makes me unbelievably sad.
  11. You’re failing to account for the air movement caused by the boat moving through the air
  12. I love my Maui Jim’s. They were my divorce sunglasses. I’ve managed to hang on to them for 15 years now. I have sent them back once to the factory for repair
  13. Percentage depletion has no relation to operating costs. It is a perk granted by the Federal government to allow non integrated oil and gas companies (E&P and Royalty holders) to completely shelter 100% of their taxable income related to oil and gas activities. I have been associated with a number of E&P companies, and none of them ever paid a penny in Federal Income tax (no matter what oil prices were). The only income based taxes they ever paid were a small amount of certain state Franchise taxes and Oklahoma State income tax (yay Oklahoma). Please name one other industry that has been granted this level of subsidy by the Federal government. besides religion of course, and please don’t tell me that religion isn’t a for profit industry
  14. Who needs educational broadcasting when you can have a tacky $200 million gold plated ballroom instead.
  15. I have a feeling that I’m going to end up on Patrick’s team pretty soon
  16. Cool, pay for your own mega (MAGA) church and quit getting government subsidies
  17. They both will probably kill you
  18. Wolf urine will keep them away
  19. The Constitution doesn't address political parties
  20. Way to out yourself as an ICE agent
