Mmm doubtful. It’s Arkansas man. That’s just what the average dude looks like


I had that revelation sitting in a car outside the Hot Springs Walmart waiting on the spouse to run an errand. I watched people walking and scootering in and out of the store and began to wonder how the hell they looked so different from people who live just a couple hundred miles away. It’s truly remarkable.

I said last night that I regret not buying the 22 Fever tshirt that I laughed at in Dicks. My wife asked why I would ever wear one, and I said just to frick with people and get some laughs when I’m in Lowe’s or the grocery store. :lol:
Has AI reached the point that you could feed it team hitting stats and the opponent’s pitcher stats and have it develop the ideal batting lineup?

Yes. That’s why a MLB team once trotted out a little person to bat.

Eddie Gaedel, a 3'7" man with dwarfism, walked on 4 pitches and was replaced by a pinch runner.

We when to the Bleacher Bar last year pregame and ran into some south Louisiana LSU fans.

Boiling shrimp later tonight

Espinacas con Garbanzos (Spinach with Garbanzo Beans) is done. Will have some with sourdough bread to tide us over until the shrimp.

Some kind of vodka or gin cocktail with lime. Bought a huge bag of limes that need using.

Variety of beers.

Just because of this thread?
I once asked on here for a place in Clemson where the local fans go, and the Esso Club was the solid recommendation. Neat old bar/restaurant within sight of the stadium that is full of memorabilia and sells burgers and meat and three plates with tons of vegetables/ sides to choose from.

It’s popular as hell. We had to park down the highway for lunch on a random weekday even though school was out.

Food tip: Hook and Lime restaurant is just around the block from Schwab. Damn good tacos (seafood focused but also meats) and margaritas. We had a couple of really good meals there.

re: Anyone tried Bombas?

I've had three pair of dressy casual Bombas calf socks for about a year. They feel pretty good, soft with nice cushion for comfort, but they have a snug/compression fit from bottom to top. I'm ok with it, but I could see some not liking that snugness.

Buy some and try them out before you restock the sock drawer with them.

re: Beef tongue

Posted by Twenty 49 on 6/12/25 at 4:28 pm
Episode 1 of Stanley Tucci's new Nat Geo show, Tucci in Italy, features a stop at a place in Tuscany that served tongue that looked great. It had been cooked a long time with onions, similar to what another poster recommended.

Couldn't find a recipe, but a blogger described it like this: "Next, Tucci heads to the working-class neighborhood of Santo Spirito to visit Dalla Lola, a cozy restaurant where Florentine chef Matilde Pettini celebrates the region’s humble, historic dishes. Among them is la francesina—a stew of braised beef tongue and onions." LINK

Fort Smith AR has a new US Marshals museum on the bank of the Arkansas River. Nominal admission fee. Average visit about 90 minutes. Worth a visit if that interests you.

Bentonville is worth checking out. Hit the square for a meal and a visit to the free Wal Mart museum. The free Crystal Bridges Museum is great but requires a time commitment. It’s undergoing a huge addition right now, so a big area of it is closed. Still good, but will be much better in a year or so.

Hop off at Fayetteville and check out the AR campus if you’ve never been. I like to see other colleges, especially their sports facilities.

Missouri has legal recreational weed for anyone 21 and up, even nonresidents. Just walk in a shop and show valid ID. No special card needed. Pretty crazy considering how conservative MO tends to be.

re: Firestick vs Roku

Posted by Twenty 49 on 6/11/25 at 11:17 pm
I have both and prefer Roku. One reason is that the Firestick won’t run the ESPN app for shite. Crash city. Roku runs it fine.
Getting rid of these illegal workers opens up job opportunities for American wives and daughters. The Americans may demand higher pay, but a few more bucks per “massage” is worth it to keep American handjobbers employed.
Consumer Reports has said that the ice maker is the number one repair need for refrigerators. Ours went out many years ago, and we didn't even try to fix it. Learned from previous experience that it's a constant battle with a shitty product.

I keep a couple of old school trays, one silicon with big blocks for cocktails, and I buy a bag if company is coming.

I was legit impressed that Skip was still awake at 11:30 pm.

They have a pitcher named Brennyn.

Sounds like a made up name in an OT travel ball thread.
