This. There isn't enough spice to make one taste good.

The fist clue to how rank they are is when you get ready to clean one. They smell really bad.
Been watching a self storage place get constructed not far from my house. It’s probably going on 7 months since they started the initial dirt work. It’s one of those multi-level air conditioned storage places with outside bigger units that are not. I can only imagine how upside down this place is for the owner after seeing how long and jacked up it has been in the construction process.

re: Reps and sets for muscle mass...

. When I was juicing (and younger) I loved volume training because I was on so many androgens/anabolics/orals, gh, insulin that I could repair easily and it literally didn't matter. I wouldn't make it one week now with a volume plan I'd be a mess physically.


Probably should be a caveat with this thread between natty or not because you are talking apples and oranges between the 2 in building muscle mass and it all boils down to recovery. With that said, there is a definite line in volume training going into the high rep range versus the low rep range that builds more strength. I have always used in my training whether on gear or not that you are going to build more muscle mass with a higher rep range and adjust weights/sets with what your body can handle either on/off versus my powerlifting days when I dialed down the reps but went as heavy as I could.

Seen every episode at least five times. Red Foxx was truly ahead of his time.



Wasn't Red Foxx like 50 when they were doing Sanford and Son? I figured we was easily in his 70's.

I started watching Sanford and Son I guess when they started the reruns on TBS when I was in high school in the late 80's. All my buddies watched it to and the dialogue from that show seeped into our boneheaded teenage vocabulary. I bet I had 3 friends we called Big Dummy.

RIP Lamont.

I thought he was practically there when he had the SEC lead commentator gig at CBS along with his own radio show and all the guest calls in to shows like FBomb and Bill King's thing on Sirius.

Honestly, I figured LSU fans would love Tim Brando since he hates Bama so much and nobody hates Bama as much as LSU.
I used to instruct our kids BJJ classes at our old school. I have seen kids who started at 8 to 10 progress up to when we finally give them their Blue Belts. I honestly feel sorry for most White Belts and even the occasional class guy Blue Belt when these kids are given the greenlight to come to the Adult classes. When they roll it’s like going against a spider monkey that has been training for 7-8 years already. It is a little embarrassing for a dude to get tapped by a 15 year old but it happens a lot. Some of these kids are literally dropped off right after school and will do every class available until the adult classes start so you throw a kid that knows some MT/boxing along with a string jits background into this fray and you have what happened in the video.

And eat as well. I would enhale food after making weight but that shite sucks trying to get those finals pounds off. That's why I literally tried to stay somewhat close to my target weight during training or at least the last few weeks of it.

Taking house and truck the day after being fired would be ruthlessly vindictive.


I have been working O&G for almost 25 years and every firing at that level usually means the person being let go is turning all their shite in right that second and if it has gotten toxic, an escort out with your shite being sent to your house. Vehicles were pulled at the time of firing. That one caught me off guard since Tommy gave no fricks about driving that MTex truck post firing but honestly I doubt Cami cared or knew. It isn't like she had an HR department behind her. I also never saw house arrangements like that but a few apartments where those were cut off immediately as well.

re: Taking care of the golf course

I belong to a CC that I swear gets a major scramble tournament every other week in the Spring. Y’all think people don’t take care of courses during a normal round, they really give no fricks during a scramble. I know they bring the club a ton of money but the damage most of these hacks do to the courses is mind boggling. Filling in divots and ball marks. Thankfully the carts get killed if you try going to close to the green or they would be driving those carts right to the fringe. I almost have to go outside the wire until tournament season is done so I don’t lose it every time I play.
Agree my give a shite meter for somebody else’s score doesn’t really register unless we are playing for money or they go deep into the woods and somehow recover with something like par where there is no way they could have pulled that off and literally that situation only gets triggered for me if it is a pattern so wouldn’t really apply to a rando.
Pretty sure this was a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode when Larry confronts the chick for saying she got a bogey on a hole where he thought she was OB.

he McNairs should've just paid whatever ransom was required to get the Oilers back.


There was no way in hell Bud Adams was ever going to let Houston keep the Oilers name. That man hated Houston for not giving him a new stadium even though he stayed here and ran his empire while his football team moved to Nashville.

Honestly, I think one of the main reasons that the Texans haven't really established themselves as the brand that lets say the Astros and Rockets are to H-town outside of the history that left with the Oilers is that Houston is kinda a transient town. Saints fans here are more passionate about the Saints than Texans fans are just because there are so many people from Louisiana that are here. It is culture to them. With that said, the influx of new people to H-town for work that have had kids that have grown up here in Houston honestly don't know shite about the Oilers but have embraced the Texans. My son who is 28 played his first pee wee tackle football season on the Kingwood Football League Texans. He is a Texans fan because he never knew the Oilers.

My wife is hesitant because it’s a trailer and says they don’t hold value.


I think that depends on if you make it a permanent dwelling. I went to a hunting camp with a triple wide that had a covered wooden deck attached to the entire length of the front. It was basically a porch that you see on lots of Acadian style homes with steps leading up it. It had the rocking chairs and a hammock with multiple ceiling fans like all of those type homes have. There was actually a metal roof on the trailer that extended out over the deck so it looked pretty seamless. I honestly would not have thought it was a mobile home at first glance and the inside was very nice. It was a far upgrade from the trailer I lived at in college. Not sure it wouldn't be carried away in a tornado but it every bit as nice as a custom built brick home.

I wonder if the state can work the angle that they really aren’t much of a migratory species so they really shouldn’t fall into the federal framework for approval.
I have a good friend that has like 10 locations. All of the fireworks come from China and he usually orders enough to cover New Years and the 4th because it takes a pretty good lead time to get big fireworks orders in. His order comes in on a cargo ship so that’s why he orders in advance. Yes there is a gigantic markup on fireworks. Insanely marked up. He kills it when it is good weather but the tariffs did sting for him. He keeps any unused fireworks in a big arse storage place he owns along with all the stands.

re: Toughest course in the Houston area

Yep Deerwood is light years ahead of all the courses on the reservation but it is also light years ahead in that monthly bill as well. Luckily I get to play it a bunch with a vendor who also lives in Kingwood. I don’t think Deerwood is Mag Creek level hard but it does have some quirks that can bite you if you don’t know the course at all. What I like about it is they keep it in great shape despite the hurricane damages and they just redid the greens. It also isn’t a boring course and has some pretty scenic holes plus it has the Tin Cup hole.
I’m the exact opposite. I book every flight I take at the back of the plane on a aisle seat and when everyone is in a mad arse rush to get off I usually just get up and go to the restroom while everybody just stands waiting for the aisle to clear. One less thing I have to do once I’m off the plane.
