Because the usuals who frequent this board but have no intention of buying will get out the pitchforks to lambast anyone who posts a price.

I occasionally buy/sell on here and I prefer to negotiate directly with a potential buyer/seller over email rather than on here where LSU Tigress et al. who don't even go to the games will tell you that the price is too high

After all that Kelby and Irish are still outnumbered 3-2 so would love to see them get burned next week.


Yeah their ballsy play was a one time shot. They are praying for a merge and will have to work their arse off not to lose the next challenge

It's going to be an unspoken thing moving forward... can't let a bunch of black people stick together. They won't say it out loud, but it'll happen


The whites better start voting the blacks out before they become jurors or the outcome will pretty much be decided weeks ahead of time.

Jelly had the chance to force her tribe to rocks as well and prevent another woman from going home but she played it safe


I found this interesting as well. She was banging the drum for not sending another girl home, but eventually she showed where her allegiance lies. Color over gender. She even said it during an interview- "I want a black person to succeed on this show." Once again, can you imagine if a white player said this??

For as poor of a cast as this originally seemed, Kelby letting his nuts hang was not something I saw coming.


Totally agree. He is a weird little fricker, but he stuck to his guns and it worked. It was hilarious to see the other members squirm at tribal and start kissing his arse. The little guy with the bowtie almost had an anxiety attack over it. How people like that can function in the real world blows my mind.

They have a few different levels of thickness depending how low the temps go.

They are great, I have a couple of each level

Tons of respect for Kilby. Dude laid his nuts out there and made a partner for the rest of the game/life.

The other three folded like a cheap tent when it came to deciding on Linnea or rocks.

I’m proud of Kilby for sticking to his word.

Maybe I'm too OCD or just an a-hole, but I would never want someone else to shop for my groceries. Have you seen the people that are doing the shopping for these online orders? You want those goons picking out your meat/produce for you?

I enjoy grocery shopping, but I also rarely go to Wal Mart

Let’s not sensationalize this. Yes he should have been penalized, but you can’t tell me from that 15 second video you believe it was an attack on the American flag.

And banned for life and jailed? Get out of here. And I’m the biggest supporter of the flag.

It looks like two teams that are probably rivals with beef against each other having a pregame scuffle when one runs out the tunnel.


This is exactly what happened. I know the mouth breathers hear "Portland" and "American Flag" and automatically think of west coast liberals. It was a cheap shot and it just happened that the guy had the flag.
Blacks don't normally attack the flag, that is more liberal/soy boy behavior.

If you want to make it something, make it a black vs white attack. Not dude vs. America.
Oh no a bunch of white people that aren’t trashy drunk. The horror!!

Meanwhile at LSU:

At 4:30 p.m. a brawl involving several women broke out and was encouraged by the growing crowd, the sheriff’s office said. The surrounding crowd was blocking officers from breaking up the fight, prompting the officers to deploy pepper balls onto the ground to disperse the crowd.

San Diego, or other places along the California Coast.

We went to SD and La Jolla last Mardi Gras and the weather was great.

Yes you do, you’re just choosing not to. It takes 90 minutes a day and a couple hours on each weekend day.

You have the time, you just don’t want to sacrifice what it takes to get it done. Which is fine, I’m not being a dick, just be realistic.

I’ve seen this shite a million times, “I want to be a controller or upper level finance” or “yes, public accounting is what I want to do and I want to get to manager and above”

Well ok, here is exactly what you need to do, and the steps are laid out for them. Response: “well, I don’t have time” or “that’s too hard”


I know you are an edge lord on here, but while your post does make sense, you have to realize that some people's situation actually do not "have time" to do certain things. The dude has 2 kids and an elderly mother. I can see where he cant consistently carve out the time for it. Maybe he could do it 2-3 days a week, but that is still not enough.

There are a lot of things I would like to do if I had more time. I am a runner, and I would like to run a marathon. But my situation in life right now doesn't give me access to the consistent training time that a marathon demands. Could I go for a 2 hour run this weekend? Yes. But next weekend maybe not if my kids have soccer games, track meets, practices, etc. Also there's church, grocery runs, cooking time, yardwork. Then weekdays are even harder. There are several days a week where I am away from home over 14 hours with work and driving kids to 2 different practices. By the time I get home I have to eat dinner, shower, and get ready for the next day. Oh yeah, and also have time to be present for my wife and kids. Something you don't have to do.

Yes we all have the same 24 hours in a day, but "I don't have time" is a real reason for a lot of people with families. So I would suggest that you have a little grace and understanding rather than try to be Mr. Hot Take all the time.

Are we just gonna gloss over the little nugget that this dude’s peewee coach was Dusty fricking Rhodes!?!?

I’m sure there are some great stories in there somewhere.

Wife and I are the exact same way. If it's a 48 hours, Dateline, First 48, etc and says "unanswered, unsolved, or ongoing" we pass.


We are the same way. If a show like that ends unsolved, or a movie ends with more questions than answers- we call it “blue balls.” They bring you right up to the end but don’t wrap it up.

I’m happy that the nerdy tribe won a challenge. Good for them. It wasn’t super physical so it was good to see them take advantage of it.

Jeff at Tribal to Ori “What did you do to make sure that you aren’t the one being voted out tonight”

Real Answer- “I woke up this morning and I was black”

I wish the 2 white girls could just come out and say it
Back this week- shuffle up tribes right off the bat. The misfit group has to feel screwed, they nailed tribal the night before and have a strong alliance and now they are all separated.

And of course the cookout crew is at full strength. I feel bad for the 2 white girls, there is literally nothing they can do to crack the black.

Guys, the old recipe has worked for me for over ten years


I haven't made this in a couple of years- I can't find his original recipe online anywhere. Are there any other changes in the "new" recipe, other than separating the eggs? I'd like to make it the old way.

I just realized I call the Velveeta one's hamburger helper out of habit.


We do the same thing. We call it Hamburger Helper but we know which one we're talking about :lol:

Kind of like the old "Bring me a Coke"....."What kind?"
Once in a blue moon we will make it for the kids- the Velveeta versions are much better than the old HB Helper
Yes I have this dream all the time. I am stomping the break and the car won't stop and it rear ends the car in front. It's never going fast just like my car needed 2 more feet to stop before hitting the other car.

I assume it's a stress thing?

Thanks for the reply. What you said makes sense. I have a smart tv and just use basic streaming apps so it does the job for me. I can see where people who need something more robust would opt for a better OS.
