Now Paris is literally tale of two cities. East is an absolute cesspool, west is full of history and awesome food.


Do most everybody speak English? Or is that going to be an issue for a country boy? As far as getting from point A to point B?

My Pawpaw was a Huey door gunner in VN. 67-68. He got a little shrapnel but not near as much as our fine service member Ben10.

Rest easy Ben10. Thank you for your service. Our nation has it from here.

I agree...and I do. I just don't know about London and Paris obviously.

I guess. I just never go over there and have my comfort zone here with you unhinged animals for rational responses. Haha.

In fairness, I do that here. But I get what you're saying for sure.
My uncle's conversion van back in the late 80s was like a fort on wheels for me and my cousin. Most fond memory was lifting the table out of the back, laying down, and pissing out the hole where the table went. We thought ourselves as kings being able to piss out of a moving vehicle and watching it trail out the back. Great times.

Ben10, a known associate of fellow Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy, was shot in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, just over a month after he was shot in Houston, sources tell WBRZ.


Bottom line, if you seek it you will find it. If you are at home, church, and work...legitimate work, you tend not to get shot.

I am going to London for the first time a couple of weeks. After London we are going to Paris. I don't travel abroad much. Should I be legitimately, like head on a swivel, vigilant? Or are these just isolated things?

I know not travel board but this is a reply and I would love to hear from baws that have been to London and/or Paris for tips, watch outs, or any good things.
Will this lead to fundamental, "coach on the field", "workout warrior", and "great hands" type players on the field that may actually play for the pride of the school?...I'm game.

I bitch about it but she hits me back with saying my fishing and hunting shite is stupid.


Yup. With me fishing, hunting, and big boy vintage baseball cards. I would really have nothing to stand on if she knew how much I ACTUALLY spend.

These are coming back. Alabama Outdoors stores are selling them like crazy. Picked up a pair and are more sport oriented feel. Great for golf.

The movie was a very poor depiction. As someone who spent time on deep water rigs I found it to be almost entirely Hollywood garbage.


Yeah I can see that. But I do give Peter Berg credit in how he personalized the people in his movies. There is often little Easter eggs in his movie to put personal appearances or items in his movies of the real people and/or the family members. At least outwardly it appears he “honors” the real folks.
quote:

I met Gordon Jones a week or so before the accident. We were at a crawfish boil at a mutual friend. He spent the entire time playing with his young son while his very pregnant wife sat in the shade all day. Every time I think of the accident, I think of Gordon teaching his son how to swing his little wiffle ball driver while his wife watched on. I guess his son would be old enough to post on this site by now, so if you're reading, from my brief interaction with you and your father, he was a good man.


Man, heart crushing.

I worked on there for 8 years. Knew many on the rig including 6 of the 11 very well.


Wow. It has to be surreal seeing that horrible incident play out in a movie format. I think Peter Berg (director of the movie and movies like Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights) does a great job to show the humanity of people in his movies.

God bless all that were on there…just going to work and doing their jobs. Horrible for those families that lost members.
Remember it well and rewatched the movie last night. Any baws here know some of the guys that were on the rig?
Unless it is a vacation/get-away place, I can’t stand A frame houses. Horrible design.
We don’t have it but a guy I know was able to assist law enforcement finding his wife when she had a run off the road incident in the middle of nowhere stretch of country road. She ran off the road into a swampy stretch. If she didn’t have that app (or something similar) it would have taken forever to find her. She apparently had a heart attack that caused it. She was deceased when they found her.

I don’t know how it works but because (as I was told) she didn’t have an impact it didn’t alert to a crash? I guess it knows when an impact occurs?

Crazy stuff.

This is just the nature of college athletics. Every starter on your team is a mercenary. Don’t confuse it. It is what it is.

I hate it and it really has dampened my love for college athletics. Especially in a state like Alabama where we have no home professional team.

I will go yell at another cloud now.

If our championship is bad, how do you describe never winning one?


It’s not bad. Not saying that at all. Just saying our championship is 5’ 2” and about 200lbs. The other guys didn’t go home with anybody so we still have that.

Steven Pearl now has more championships than every Bama coach combined


As much as I love to be able to say that…we did just take home the hog at closing time. We got some lovin’ but it was roll over get home and don’t say anything lovin’.
