Woohoo, Twitter "jail" for 12 hours for asking our president to MAGA and have a coronary.

Giff

It's especially infuriating when one of your top 2 favorite players of all-time is Jeff Bagwell.

Giff

We'll deal with that in 2197.

Giff

Wonder if Yahoo! is talking about that story?

I was going to post something about him but got caught up in other things yesterday. Many times when I go to shows, I tend to fixate on one member of the band. It's typically fairly random and it can change per band depending on the mood I'm in during that particular concert, but whenever I was luck...

I don't know if it was a panic attack or what, but I woke up mid-flight of my red-eye back to Houston from Vegas after the most stressful airport experience of my life and losing my only pair of headphones, and started silently freaking out. For a second I seriously thought I was going to be one of ...

How dare you criticize a comedian brian. They have more freedom of speech than you have.

Giff

How is demanding people shut up about jokes any different from people telling offensive joke tellers to shut up? It's a free fucking country. If these people want use their free speech to tell offensive jokes, they have to understand that many people will not like it and they'll use their free speec...

Never seen The Real World. Never seen Survivor or Big Brother. Or honestly almost any reality show now that I think about it. I hate how much my wife and I love Big Brother. If you want to truly come over to the Dark Side, start watching Love Island. Big Brother's all I have energy for. Amazing Rac...

I'd never heard of this guy until a few days ago a lot of the stand-ups I follow on Twitter were congratulating him for landing a serious role in a movie.

Maybe not stretching and putting before the round? Back when I played, I always hated hitting balls before the round because I'd waste all my good shots before they counted!

Giff

Damn brian, putting the me in team there.

I've been taking a new way home from work that takes me down one of the busiest roads in Houston. I passed at least three Popeye's that had drive-thru lines snaking around the parking lot which is very uncommon.

My daughter loves the new Lion King, so I asked her to guess who I took on a date to see the first one (she knows my high school girlfriend very well as Graeme's mom). She guess Mom and I told her that was way before we met. Then I did the math and I saw it in 1994 with my girlfriend and that was 13...

You see, a lot of these shows are about powerful people staying in power by exploiting non powerful people. That's Billions, Succession and Gemstones for sure, and part of why i didn't like The Boys. I don't need more of that storyline in my life right now. I need some excapism. I have heard Yellow...

I haven't watched much in the last month or so due to vacations, etc. Took a peek at my DVR last night and holy shit I'm not sure I'll catch-up with multiple episodes of the following: Snowfall Shangri-La Succession Preacher Lodge 49 Yellowstone is the only one I'm fully caught up on. And I forgot a...

Giff

It'd be awesome if one of the players talked shit about Trump and it made him call the Miracle on Ice overrated.

Giff

Roughnecks (or Apollos) should be the name of the NFL team.

Mine happened in road construction on I-40 in Amarillo. Fuckin' truck drivers going 80 in a work zone.

Giff

You were smart, you played no part
You just taught what you thought, yeah
And I remember when you walked out of Garden State
'Cause you had taste, you had taste
You had no time to waste
Oh, what happened to you kid?
Yes and oh, what's happening now?

Giff

How dare they treat an Astros fan like that.

Happened to us 5 days in our new ride too. Luckily they gave us a windshield warranty.

Giff

Actually as I went to type out my reasoning I nearly talked myself into a "yes" provided you added one caveat. But no, I think a proper analogy would be another popular athlete : underfunded/underrepresented sport at HBCU. So badminton?

Giff

Seriously, the jokes are typically somewhat humorous, but at least put a little thought into it.

Just got to the end of my 2019 playlist so starting over from the beginning. Here's the specific song playing right now:

She prefers them uncut.

Giff

I'm not OK.

Giff

All I'm arguing is that one is not scared to be lost in their thoughts because they wanted to listen to music at the beach instead of meditate. Which is what the Tweet actually said. Had it said "you shouldn't be playing Sublime at a kids park", I would've scrolled right on.

Right, because everyone knows when you go to the beach, you're supposed to whisper.

Do your beaches have "no talking" signs? That's weird.

Giff

I took it as criticizing anyone who wants to listen to music at the beach instead of just wanting to go hear nature, especially since he never mentions volume, only the presence of music itself. Does he get mad at families who bring loud children? What if people are having fun and are louder than th...

Jesus fuck giff I’d ask if you’ve ever been more wrong, but want to first make sure you really think it’s fine to just set up camp next to someone else and start blasting music?

That's not what the Tweet said.

Giff

Walked into Popeye's last night to pick up dinner for the family. There were at least 7 people waiting on their orders and the guy taking the orders seemed overwhelmed. As I was debating whether or not I should bother when a fight broke out in the back over someone trying to take an order to the dri...

Rough is a very nice way of putting it.

I think basically everything the Stones have done since about the late 70s sucks ass. One man's opinion. I'm a later fan because I really disliked most of their bigger hits (Jumpin' Jack Flash, Satisfaction, etc.), but as I dug into their catalogue more, I became a huge fan. That said, I really hav...

I voted for 'Beast Of Burden'.

I didn't realize they were doing that for my show, but they played the one I'd have picked ("Heartbreaker").

Giff

Yes. That is newsworthy here due to humidity.

Giff

I used to think OK Computer was overrated because I love The Bends so much (easily my favorite album ever and has been since 2002), but luckily I realized what a stupid opinion that was.

I haven't listened to In Utero recently, but Nevermind holds up.

Giff

Seems pretty obvious what most people would say when I think it's their second album that's the best. I enjoy DMB's Before These Crowded Streets overall more than I do the rest. Oh no we're doing this again. You're going to say Counting Crows and I'm going to have a meltdown. Well... To me, I can i...
