It didn't occur to me until after I got my pet turtle that he'll almost certainly outlive me.

100% agree with this.  Would love a SB Saturday

If I ever run for office I will have 3 items on my platform:

1) Super Bowl on a Saturday

2) Independence Day on the first Thursday in July and turn the following Friday into a "holiday" like Black Friday (The Declaration of Independence wasn't actually signed on July 4th like everyone wants you to believe.  It was originally adopted on July 2nd and many didn't sign it until August.)

3) Trick or Treating always the last Saturday in October

Yeah, I mean if they insist on having an empty weekend in between then why not Saturday?

at first i was like WTF?   then i kind of started liking them as they didn't give me as much problem with night time glare when driving.   

@teachercd @Stone Cold

Sounds like my Buick Skylark when I was 16  

But man, I had cool wheels and a pull-out CD player 

Man i forgot about the pull out cd payers.  I remember when my brother paid over 600 bucks to have a cd player installed back in the day.  Prices are much much less

@Stone Cold In-dash CD players !!!   

It was LIT when you could pull the front face off and tuck above your visor "for safety purposes" lol....   And yes, the player with 10's and tweeters and installation was ridiculously expensive back then...... I did it to my Skylark, then my Mazda RX7 (rotary engine), then my 4x4 pickup truck, etc, etc....    

With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly

44 years actually (1978 I think) but who's counting?
 

film at 11

@BigRedBuster nice.

Bout that time to do it again buddy 

@admo Yep, did it again two nights ago.  It's so dry I only have to mow once per week right now.  I need to up the watering.  Getting some pretty dry areas.

@BigRedBuster Same.  We could use some rain. It's that time of summer, when my lawn looks like astro turf Hay lol. Thank goodness the shade from trees show some green here and there

That sounds like a bit from Candid Camera.

Is she sure they weren't just messing with her? 

@funhusker No, the lady was as serious as can be.  My daughter literally, walked around the corner, took her purse out of the zip lock bag and threw it away.  I am still absolutely dumbfounded by the thought process here.

I've sat here and giggled about this for a solid 3 minutes now. 

Instead of older farts like me complaining about these shows we should simply feel sorry for those of you who had to endure growing up on this music 

@BigRedBusterif it was up to me I would have a hard/classic rock band perform every halftime show because that’s what I prefer to listen to. I’ve gotten tired of the R&B we’ve seen perform over the past 5-10 years so it refreshing seeing something different this year because it’s something I prefer over from what we’ve had the previous years. 

I agree @Apathy  This rap/hip hop show was certainly better than the jock face Weekend type show. And, like Mastadon said, better than some bro country. I can’t really complain anymore because most of the music acts I prefer are using walkers or dead. My time is over, it was a good run 

Mizzou has sneakily had a run of really good QBs.  You mentioned Jones but after him, they had Brad Smith, Chase Daniel, Gabbert, James Franklin and then Drew Lock.  Not too shabby.

Corby Jones, Brad Smith, Chase Daniel, Phil Bradley etc - all those guys were real good.  I been watching old video clips/games.

Corby Jones gave a glimpse into what a solid dual-threat QB can do against a team with an amazing pass rush.  Wistrom, Kelsay, and Rucker were used to teeing off against statue QB's.  Jones was able to extend the play a few times and hit big pass plays in 1997, and the NU defense was so frustrated from having to chase him around all day.

I also remember in the '97 game against Washington when NU knocked out UW's starting QB (Brock Huard maybe?) and Marques Tuiasosopo came in and was much more effective as a dual-threat guy against the Blackshirts.

That's awesome. I don't recall that play or ever hearing that story from Cory before.

That hit was news to me as well. 

I still don't understand how Corey's brain isn't scrambled. Dude was one of the hardest hitting players ever.

Did you quote @teachercd in a thread or something?

Hey...anyone seen my virtual sex link?

Wouldn't it??? Especially since I'm stuck with it...

@ZRod I'm guessing it all depends on the part of Mexico they come from.  I live in an area with a lot of Mexican immigrants and a lot of authentic Mexican Restaurants.  It's interesting that you can tell where the family is from running the restaurant by the type of food they serve.  Some have burritos and some don't.  And...they are quite different than the American burritos I grew up with.  The ones that serve burritos more are more central to southern but not on the coast.  Like around the Guadalajara area.  

Well, not to belabor the point but Chinese food isn't really Chinese either it's what the "Chinese food" Anglo's want to eat.

Mexico is kind of a big country and food will be regional. I've been into ceviche lately and depending on where it is from it can be shrimp, fish, cocktail sauce in it (gross), or not.

As a kid, I remember when the migrant workers would come work beets in the summer, after we got done setting water we'd stop in to chat, and they'd offer me tacos. I came to realize that a taco could be just about anything in a small tortilla. I'm pretty sure I had a spaghetios taco one day.....and it was delicious!

Very few of the ethnic food restaurants we eat at are really the food of the people that live in those cultures. 

That is good! I see the humor because I only had sons.

Special episode from Florida: Wide World of Jorts!

Man vs Animals!  And Joe's vs Pros!

Hafthor Bjornsson's deadlift world record* attempt might be the most watched sporting event for the rest of the year.

*I don't think home gym lifts should count as official world records.

Me too!!

I'm on board with allowing ads on this site to support it.

What I'm not on board with is the decision to use the most obnoxious, intrusive ads possible so that I'll, apparently, decide it's less painful to pay for the ad-free version than see this mess.

It’s been working since I posted this. 

@knapplc and I were both having trouble - at different times - in the last 48 hours.  At one point it was giving me a DNS error on my phone but my iPad was working fine at the time.  

It's the deep state ...

Ads have somehow disappeared from my mobile version.

Edit: from the bottom only, new ads on top still there.

Looks like someone ended up buying that Virginia Tech gear from the ad. You the real MVP 

Some bottoms ads don’t disappear (the ones where you X them out and they simply say “We’ll try not to show this ad again). On mobile, this makes it impossible for me to click on the “new post in thread” notifications.

lies, they had all the self-checkout lanes open too. and if your local wal-mart doesnt have them yet they will have them in the near future as that is what they are going to.

Wuck Fal-Mart!

I've been to walmart maybe twice in the past 10 years and I remember checkout was painful.

Slight difference..

plus one...

upvote...

But, I was able to do both on the same post....so, I thought the must be meant for different things.

I just tried to do both on your post^ @BigRedBuster and it changed it from a Plus 1 to an Upvote. You can change them after the fact it looks like

Yeah, there was a relatively minor version upgrade.  Actually we were a few minor revisions behind and got it upgraded to the latest version.

I feel like downvotes and such tend to fuel drama, and do they really even add anything to the discussion? The +1 feature is good for keeping posts that are nothing but 'agreed' or 'thanks' to a minimum, reducing clutter.

Agreed...thanks....

I've know how to post tweets.  But, all tweets are showing up not normal today.

Maybe it's just my computer.

I thought you were talking about some from Jessica0.  I haven't seen anything from you that didn't look right. May just be your computer. 

You should never see something from me that doesn't look right.  I'm always right.  

Actually, now they are looking normal again.  Not sure what the deal was.  It was almost like they weren't loading correctly when a page would load.

Oh well....all is good now.

No...I like the notifications.  I just can't find "somebody".

I believe the user "somebody" got banned awhile back. Must've found a hack...

That is the only possible explanation for somebody liking one of your posts

Huh...and somebody liked your status update too?

Liar
