Took about half an hour.

What took so long? :lol:

I've done it myself, and my two kids. Once called back by the officer combined we may have hit 30 minutes across all three "interviews."

Complete waste of time for all involved. On renewal they have an interview stage in the process but it's never done and they just extend you another 5 years.

We believed that when Petrino broke every public sector ethics law on the books and he made his way back to the very same university :lol:

The getting arrested part is the part that will damage Moore.

I'd think they would be doing relatively well being able to jettison a bad coach essentially foisted upon them within 2 years without a buy out.

One of those injuries I couldn't believe hadn't happened to a big player sooner.

Suddenly jumping on a teammate from behind was so common.

As Eddie Izzard said, the Brits fought the Falklands Islands war for strategic sheep purposes.

I disagree here. You are right. But doing this and flying out is not nearly as easy and usually not nearly as cheap as people originally think.

It’s a hell of a lot easier and generally saves time to fly from a 3rd location especially if you can get a flight back to the states from there for close to the same.

You have to get to the train, cost of the tickets, get from the train station to the airport, make it all work time wise, any costs associated like meals, travel, etc from and to the train stations, etc.

I feel like you're speaking from general experience and not Japan specific experience. But maybe you aren't.

Other points were raised above.

For me, I had award tickets into and out of Tokyo.

So I landed in Tokyo Haneda, took the airport train to Shinagawa and then the train to Kyoto. I was on the Kyoto bound train within 1.5 hours of landing, including immigration.

I did Tokyo as my last stop. My point being sure going in and out the other is the most efficient, but don't sweat it if you can't make it work.

It really doesn't matter that much considering you can bullet back to Tokyo in 2.5 hours.

Not true. If you actively communicate with your spouse, you know the colors they approve of, particular equipment that they prefer, and the make & model that they mention. Or, you can do what I do, get a Yukon in either black or white with the most powerful engine available(maybe for me), and ask her to drive it

Who does this if not seriously considering buying a car? You basically supported 95% of the idea people are going to discuss it before making a purchase like this :lol:

re: How do you baws pronounce Louisville?

Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 12/6/25 at 11:21 pm to HogBalls

I say it the messed up way like the locals do because I was led to believe that's how they say it. Even though it's a real person's name with an established pronunciation.

Now, when Ole Miss folks say LaFAY -ette, I ignore them because frick them.

People rooting for Bama to not make it are retarded. Legitimately.

If you want the precedent set for a team (specifically SEC for this site) who was in the field and then out after the SECCG, you’re an idiot. Period.

I have zero love for Bama, but don’t come crying when your team is left out of the field when they had to play an extra game

What if I'm rooting for the champ game to be eliminated and Bama being hurt by it speeds things up in Birmingham?

The dates are already known. You can go to the Wikipedia world cup page for that.

I was able to scoop up some hotel rooms in Houston and Dallas using that before the hotels booked out/or shut it off. Of course ended up with no real good matchups for the dates I could realistically do but oh well. I still have one knockout round reservation so we'll see.

Hyatt Places going for $1,000 a night I got for 6,000 points a night :lol:
