Mister D is short-selling shares of A_B stock?

I don’t think you generally pay sales tax when you buy a gift card, do you?

Jeez, now I have to start liking him?

Am I making this up or did there used to be some sort of ask or rule (I"m talking about back in the 80's or 90's) that credit card companies tried to enforce about not allowing vendors to charge a fee for using a credit card? I dunno. Some gas stations have always charged more if you use credi...

My issue are gift cards that expire. That seems REALLY shady to me. I just booked a flight on Southwest to go check on my aging parents. I almost forgot to use an old SW gift card I had - I was afraid it had expired. Luckily it had no expiration date. But, if they give you credit because a flight g...

Yeah, it's kind of shocking the difference in density of colleges out west if you're used to the east. Without looking it up, I’d guess it somewhat mirrors the density of population. You can drive a long time between towns in the west. My high school sports league included the Grand Junction-area s...

Interesting question...does California not have many small colleges? Would have expected more than 10 D3 schools in the state (12 d2 schools and 9 NAIA schools). Well, “many” is a subjective term, I guess. 26 D1 schools, plus the 31 “small” schools you noted above, plus 140 jucos, covers the bases ...

According to wiki, there are 3,892 high schools in California. You’re not really proving your point.

I’m a hockey fan, and I’ll freely admit that high school hockey is also a niche sport. Nothing wrong with admitting it.

Ron Johnson of the Giants?

There are rich kid schools all over the country. Nobody said there weren’t players coming from all over - that’s a straw man. The point was that lacrosse is not a commonly played sport among the masses except on the eastern seaboard.

for those of you who are going back and forth between services, it's worth exploring how many of them you can already get for free through other avenues we get Max free through our ATT internet (and/or DirecTV), we get the Disney bundle free through our AmEx, and we get Paramount Plus free through ...

Looking forward to the episode about his being part of the crowd gathered to harass the little girls who were integrating the Arkansas school.

What’s your evidence on this?

My wife drives a 2010 Hybrid Ford Escape that we bought new. I drive a 2015 Hybrid Ford Fusion that I got new. No significant issues with either vehicle.

We generally always cook enough to have leftovers. But like some of you, my wife hates eating them the very next day. So the leftovers usually stay in the fridge a couple days before we eat them (although I have no issue with attacking them the next day - that was usually lunch in my working man day...

Nichushkin suspended for six months. Hope the dude gets the help he needs.

sancarlos

Damn! Assuming he's guilty, guys like that who prey on kids are the worst. Assuming she’s innocent, I can’t imagine the heartache of his wife.

Just watched the latest episode of Sugar, and boy did it take a wild left turn!

Jimmy Johnson. No, not that Jimmy Johnson. Not the other one either. The one that played for the 49ers in the 60s. His career was derailed by a blindside crack back block that blew out his knee. Was said to be the best cornerback in the NFL before the injury. Was said to be the reason they made cra...

Yes, we desperadoes are always living it up! Going on cruises and such!

Headed to DFW Saturday with one of my oldest friends to catch Vandoliers and Sam Morrow at some free concert series they put on in Arlington during the summer. Bringing home my wife’s favorite meal ever (fried chicken from Babe’s Chicken Dinner) for a Mother’s Day dinner. It was her idea for me to ...

Can’t believe they are still making Planet of the Apes movies. Charlton Heston starred as a strapping bare-chested astronaut in the first one, and if he was still alive, he’d be (literally) 100 years old.

So, I have always liked Bob Seger's Get out of Denver. I also have always liked Welshman Dave Edmunds. This may not be as good as Bob Seger's Live Bullet version, but it’s still fun to listen to and it’s an excellent video.

I don’t know if it will do any good, but I would file a complaint report.

Reminder to not tune it to KEXP. God I hate the fucking Pixies. Rush, I was surprised to learn today that Albini was no fan of the Pixies. Perhaps this will comfort you: Albini didn't like the Pixies—in fact had called them "an average college rock band." (The actual quote is worse: "...

I had to laugh, Syb. Because I did hear that we are likely to be the "young people" on our cruise. But, the people we are traveling with hate Trump just like we do, so we'll be fine, there. The cruise is in 2025, so the election will be history, so likely we won't hear about Trump, or we w...

Last time we discussed DJT stock, it was in free fall. It went down from the $70 range to the low 20s. But, for no good or apparent reason, it has taken on helium again. Up to $54 at today's close. I looked into buying some put options to bet against the stock, and only did not because they were too...

I'd point out that the outlaw/alt.country-ish stuff that swampers like AB, Giff, BSF, Brian and me prefer never gets played on mainstream country radio.

Good advice.

The part I particularly hated was the buffet breakfast. Loads of assholes whose main goal on the cruise was to get at their bacon and pineapple before anybody else. Then, gawd help any kids or old ladies who get in their way, walking from the buffet to the tables. Fuck those people.

Here it is...the dumbest thing you'll read this week... Trump can win as the anti-chaos candidate This creates an opportunity for Trump to seize the mantle as the anti-chaos candidate. His winning message is not to promise “retribution” against those he believes wronged him. It is to tell Americans...

Been on one cruise and swore them off. And, in an effort not to be "that guy"... The positives were that the food was excellent and the various items, like soft serve ice cream and other quick hitter items meant you were fully fed. I liked going to the various piano bars, dance clubs etc....
