  1. I have a good colleague from UVa who knows Coach Bennett well. He is emphatic that Bennett's rep as a good guy is well-deserved. Might be a relevant factor if CDC is interested in hiring a "character" guy in addition to a proven winner.
  2. She has boobs and can fog a mirror. Wheelhouse for most surlyites.
  3. It's clearly some sort of correctional facility. You can see the inmate uniforms on a couple of guys, the bolted phones, the tv mounted way up high, not to mention the two tiers of cells and industrial showers on the first floor. Letting this dude climb all over the place is probably not jail / prison protocol.
  4. Joust is exactly what I thought of. Would've been amazing to see a screeching pterodactyl fly across the top of the stadium.
  5. I don't have any problem with people standing up. I get irritated when people from the back rows start pushing their way forward in the aisle past people in rows ahead of them. But like CTH just said, maybe they have legitimate reasons to get off the plane quicker. I think I just assume that the rest of the world is filled with assholes. Too much time on Surly I suppose.
  6. I'm sure I will stir up a hornet's nest with this comment, but it's such a bitch move to jump up and start jockeying for an exit as soon as the seatbelt light comes off. Dude, you're in row 24. Wait your turn or pay more to sit further up front. Or if you have explosive diarrhea then tell everyone to get out of the way.
  7. Windward beaches are generally the best for a relaxing beach day on Oahu, all the way from Bellows to Lanikai. +rep for Aiea Bowl. Also great food at Moku Kitchen, Liliha Bakery (cream puffs), 1938 Indochine (Vietnamese), Highway Inn (Hawaiian), Side Street Inn (Hawaiian), Ginza Bairin Tonkatsu (Japanese pork), Teddy's (burgers), Ted's Bakery (chocolate haupia pie), Lanikai Juice (smoothies), Da Cove Bar (açaí bowls), Phuket Thai (Thai), Diamond Head Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. Surprisingly the Foodland Farms grocery store at Ala Moana has a ton of legit food to go. Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese are good pretty much all over the island. Any hole in the wall with a half-dozen different ramshackle menus hanging up by the kitchen is gonna be good:
  8. Can someone post the video of that female sports person blathering about aggy's supposed superiority over Texas? She gets put in her place about 1000 times by the other guys on the show but is still too oblivious to see the truth.
  9. I moved back to a great place on the mainland several years ago and only miss Honolulu every single day. We still have our place there and I get back as often as I can. Most people that move to HI from the mainland relocate back to the mainland after an average of 7 years. I think it's mostly because they miss things on the mainland you can't get in Hawaii, and because making new friendships and kinships is tough. I've heard all of the tropes that locals are prejudiced against haoles (whites) but that's BS. I've never felt more kinship anywhere else. It's a shock to some mainlanders, but turns out that taking over a sovereign nation for business and military interests doesn't endear you to the local population. So it takes a long time to build trust. Hawaii is not your playground. It's a former nation with its own language, culture, religion, everything. So tread with humility and interest in Hawaiian life and history and you'll be welcomed in time. You just have to embrace Hawaii on its own terms. You want barbecue? Better start liking Korean bbq. You want college football? Better love the Rainbow Warriors or get ready to watch games at 6am. You want culture? You get hula festivals and outrigger canoe competitions. So if you move there, you have to embrace it rather than dwell on the things you don't have there -- otherwise you'll get island fever and start looking for a way back. pm me if you want more info
  10. They were, and always will be, our friends
  11. Anyone interested in Aerial America might like the slow tv phenomenon from Norway. They show hours and hours of footage of stuff happening really slowly -- fishing, knitting, whatever. The best is the 7 hour train ride from Bergen to Oslo -- camera at the front of the engine just records a regular day's journey across southwestern Norway. It's great to have on the second screen as you're working. "I started my workday in Bergen, and I'm ending in Oslo." Yes, I'm uncool.
  12. Nice house. You could really beat the shit out of some women there. And then drown them in the pond, if you needed to. Good choice for Mixon.
  13. Crazy amounts of rain on Oahu recently, especially in the pali (mountains and cliffs). Palolo is nestled deep in one of the biggest valleys on the south side of Oahu. That's a crazy video.
  14. Regarding surfing, the biggest surf event in a few years went down last weekend on Oahu. The Eddie Invitational was held at Waimea Bat. They only open it up when waves are going to be big enough during the holding period to give Eddie Aikau (local surf and lifeguard legend) the respect he deserves -- at least 20 foot Hawaiian scale (35+ foot faces). First time in 7 years they held it, more than 40,000 spectators. Invited surfers get the call worldwide and have 48 hours to be on island. Biggest event in the surfing world. "Steep, deep and undaneet!"
  15. Just another day
  16. If there was any justice in that situation it would've played out like your avatar: "Did you blame the victims, or call into question their motives, in any way?" "Well, yeah, but..." "You're fired."
  17. Damn right. Hopefully we get atop the conference here in a minute or so...
  18. Yep. This is a crucial game for that reason. And osu isn't exactly a pushover.
  19. Fence guy -- not the asshole, get the money or the new fence 17 items guy -- definitely the asshole, quit breaking the rules and then playing the victim
  20. I mentioned upthread that I saw the same tour in Houston at Rice Stadium. As I recall Dokken got a bit rained out which was fine, because they sucked. Metallica came out and destroyed everything. Security was blasting the crowd with hoses and water to keep us all alive during their set. Scorps were great on that particular night and the crowd was super into their set. VH tore it up of course. The midday stadium-wide trash fight was clearly the big winner that day, however.
