  1. He's tall, but not quite that tall. I believe he was referring to the picture Jim posted.
  2. I am only aware of one person who did not like it.
  3. Really liked Hearts in Atlantis. RIP Anton.
  4. Have a great day, and drink plenty of coconut water!
  5. Is that the Isabella Maru in the background?
  6. It's so different than Houston or Austin, that's it's hard to believe it's in the same state, let alone just a few hours away. It's a pretty low income area, and the school system sucks down here. That helps breed ignorance IMO. They have a bridge with a programmable lighting system in Corpus Christi, and the city council decided to light it with the rainbow flag this weekend, to show support for the families of the Orlando victims. The uproar and protest that caused was unbelievable! Many local churches were protesting, as well as others, but I was flabbergasted to see the council hold their ground. The bridge is indeed lighted in a rainbow theme as I type this. BTW, I think I enjoyed the last episode the most. Watching so many OJ insiders resign themselves to his guilt was oddly fascinating.
  7. Yeah, I here the "N" word almost daily down here. I just don't get it.
  8. RIP Prince Be. Set adrift on memory bliss!
  9. Happy Birthday! I assume you built a communications satellite, or some such thing to celebrate?
  10. Ashamed? I'm assuming that you mean ashamed of all the previous racism and mistreatment by the LAPD, and not ashamed of O.J.'s arrest and trial?
  11. Gorgeous!
  12. Impressive just doesn't say it fully!
  13. RIP Jo Cox.
  14. Well now, this kind of bitchiness makes perfect sense now! Brent, take a Midol and refrain from posting until your "monthly friend" is gone.
  15. It's a pretty good history lesson as well. Enjoying it.
  16. X infinity!
  17. You would have just written "Will work for biscuits" on it anyway.
  18. Watching Anderson Cooper on CNN right now. He is clearly choked up as he reads off the names of those killed, which is choking me up all over again. Just so sad.
  19. Would it be weird for Mike and Deb to adopt a 55 y.o. malnourished Son? OK, malnourished might possibly be a tiny bit of a stretch.
  20. Sorry Knucks. I raise my glass to Kim!
  21. I'm sitting here remembering the joy and pride I felt about this time last year, standing with Colin, Brent, Shelly, Claire and others, as we watched the Gay Pride parade in San Francisco, just days after the Supreme Court announced it's decision on gay marriage. I couldn't stop tearing up (Brent too), as I watched something I never believed I'd witness in my lifetime. I couldn't help but think we'd turned a corner. Tonight I'm wrapping my mind around the fact that this nation's deadliest mass shooting incident has targeted gay men and women in Orlando. Over 50 gay men and women dead, massacered while celebrating gay pride, in a gay nightclub. A place where we generally feel safe, accepted and at ease. The sadness in my heart is almost overwhelming. It again feels like one step forward, two steps back. I can reason that this is the act of one deranged individual, but it feels like I let my guard down. It does comfort me that this time we have a President that will stand up and condemn this an act of hate against the gay community. It's no surprise that Donald Trump is already using the tragedy to re-emphasize his message of hate against the Muslim community, and that enrages me! I should probably refrain from using this event to express my own political views, but how many more mass shootings are we going to have to endure before we make some real changes in the way we offer up weapons for these assholes to use to slaughter us? Just so, so sad, and so disappointed right now.
  22. R.I.P. over 50 of my Brothers and Sisters in Orlando.
  23. That's correct, and I have heard of a few places that will be posting a no guns policy, but the general consensus down here in Inbred Holler is that it's a law passed by Baby Jesus hisself. Those that post 'no guns' may actually lose a lot of business. I hope that is not the case.
  24. They just passed a new concealed carry law down here. You can walk into any public space packin' now, including schools. I understand that different areas of the country have different regional traditions and ideas, but Jesus H. Christ are you fucking kidding me?
  25. A classic for sure. Yummm!
