I finally did it...and with THIS hot pile of garbage. I once had Messi and Zlatan as my strikers (they combined for ~28 g+) and got booted in the playoffs...but yet I did it with this... #DontAskMeIDunno
In the US we'd need to do a Sweet 16 tournament in order to get some of the Hispanic surnames involved. Run it in multiple sports and the results could be very interesting.
I think I've reread this book the most of any I own.
I just lucked into an 82-0 season in my 5th or 6th run. Being able to pick up a prime Kobe season at PG with my last roll, then trading him for a prime Jason Kidd season really worked out in my favor.
Had to document this for posterity purposes. I'm pretty sure I've had better career averages, but for some reason this collection won eight titles.
I don't know all the options, but I'm pretty sure I got the absolute worst one.
Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.
I've seen screenshots, but I wasn't truly sure it was possible... Used a team spin to get out of MIL 60s and land on PHI 60s - no era spin though.
These are two of the three I have. (I'm guessing two small starbursts on my wrist aren't going to be embarrassing.)
I'm singing Warrant in my head and celebrating an epic number of followers. I gotta say, today was a good day.
Quote post with your favorite fictional coded or literal stoner. If for no other reason than who he gets to hang out with...
www.dallasnews.com/news/electio... Not sure if the link is paywalled, but I made a screenshot of the headline and subhed.
Really, Ben? Really??? I'd think a true #MFFL for you would go to the GOAT for his impressions of Utah.
I just arrived home in Dallas proper from my trip to the closest HEB for grocery shopping. This article was posted while I was checking out.
I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but... Being in the hospital, I think my cat is the thing I miss the most. (I am so not a cat person. Luckily Effie is a dog in a cat suit.)
Well, I haven't had a reason to pin a post since I've been here... ...that just changed.
I'm still not holding my breath on this happening, but I really like the cut of this guy's jib.
What was your childhood cinema? #childhoodcinema Big Town Mall Cinema, Mesquite, TX. (Serious oldheads from East Dallas and eastern suburbs will remember.) It was a dollar theater when I was growing up, and often my babysitter as a preteen. Shuttered in 1999, demolished in 2006.
Look at this. These are ROOKIE ratio numbers. We owe it to ourselves to administer the type of ratio a hagiography of a disgraced journalist in the Grey Lady deserves!!!
If this can only be addressed by state law (which I'm not sure is the case), it's going to wind up in front of the Texas Supreme Court. Here are the current justices on SCOTX:
I love the green sauce, but I may like this one more:
This person has been proven to be an idiot on multiple occasions...but is he actually wrong?! We're in the first ninth of the days between 1/20/25 and 1/20/29, which would be the first inning. In MLB pre-Trump45, extra innings didn't start with runners on 2nd base. "Overtime" works for me.
I need a lot more than $10 worth of help, so I'm sending more. (I'll also redirect the Gift Card when I get it - we're currently furry critterless.) I'm 6'1", 210 with unremoved excess skin from being 410 15 years ago. I'm incredibly shy (unless intoxicated) and work from home 95% of the time.
