Here is a story related by Clay Travis:

As they walked into a Target store past some displays up front, his 9y/o said "They'll never do that for us." They stopped. Travis said "They'll never do what?"

His son pointed at the "Girl Power" display rack they'd just walked past. "They'll never do that for us with 'Boy Power' stuff."

Kids say the darndest things ...


Even though this stuff has gone way overboard, this seems like a strange thing for people to be upset by.

In ancient times when I would go into a store, they had girl power stuff even then and no boy power. I would NEVER have bought a boy power shirt when I was young and sure wouldn't get one for my young boys now.

Now a shirt with "Wolverines!", i'm in!

After rolling 35k into a ROTH account for them, sit on it and gift to grandkid(s).

Help your kids save for their kids education.
Casselberry FL, an Orlando suburb town of 25k had 5 all within the city limits, all in the center of town until about a decade ago.

Only 1 remains.

Favorite breakfast foods.
1. Boudin or boudin kolaches
2. Pork tamales
3. Eggs, ham steak, grits & toast
4. Biscuits and gravy
Dino's in Westlake is king.
Either glazed or bougin kolache works for me.

Nelson's in Lake Charles used to be great but I think they burned down.
lol.
I wish that clip would have used Motorhead.
Unless a movie benefits from Bluray scaling and sound, I buy movies on DVD because they are easier to rip and store on my Plex.

Most older movies are just find on DVD,are cheaper and take up less space.

I will say that Netflix has been a little bit more lenient on what is on their platform. With their comedy specials. They’re much more wide open.


The issue with all continues to be a disdain for their audience.
Look no further than how the Witcher progressed on Netflix.
They let a showrunner and writers who hated the source material run the show.

They have quite a bit to fix first.
Yeah, this sounds like a good idea.

I want daddy government telling me what I can and can't say on the internet, in chat or voice chat channels or even on the party line with my friends.

Next stop IRC or Magic the Gathering get togethers.
I'm sure plenty of indoctrination going on there.
I love hole in the wall restaurants of any type.

Here in Central FL there is a fantastic hole in the wall place in Oviedo just north of Orlando.

The building is tiny with no seating, barely room to order but it is so worth it.

How about spend the $75 for 5 YEARS and just get her TSA Precheck.

Usually if you make the reservations and buy the tickets, your entire party boards with you if you have elite status.

Interesting.

From Grok:
The probability of exactly 7 people in a group of 50,000 dying from natural causes in a 14-day period is approximately 0.31% (or 0.003

I would hate to be the actuary who underwrote the afD's life insurance.

I watched it this weekend and enjoyed it.

Unlike in many recent Marvel movies, there seemed real jeopardy throughout much of the film.
