Trivial Things That Make You Surly
When you go through the drive through kfc in Marshall, Texas and get some chicken that may be the best kfc in America. I mean it was perfect. Then, when you’re thinking “I’m going to post on surly about how great the Marshall kfc is, this news must be shared,” you realize that they shortdicked you out of your biscuit, and you’re halfway to Carthage. You gonna drive back to Marshall for a biscuit? Nope, just soak in your misery, sans biscuit. Dammit.

The Boat Fanatic Thread
I raced from Port Aransas to Port Isabel once on a j/24. We were a pretty decent windward leeward squad with 0 experience offshore/overnight but, “how hard can it be?” All electronics quit (vhf, gps, cabin lights) at about midnight except for duct taped on nav lights, but whatever - just go south. we realized we had a problem at about 7am when the wind died about 30 miles from the finish and the only supplies we had left were 3 18 packs of red dog beer, a bottle of vodka, 2 packs of smokes and some fireworks. That was a long hot morning. I drank cooler water that day.

I'm pretty sure my mother-in-law has purchased one of those more recently, say... within the past 10 years. I thought this thread might deliver me from some shame. It has yet to deliver.

It works like this. Some attractive lady in a bikini top with some see through skirt/wrap will stroll by on the beach and when she walks by your chair she will say in a low voice "massaje?" with an "h" sound, not the "ge" sound you typically associate with this service. She will be attractive, she probably won't take American Express, and there will be more than one provider that walks by. I didn't ask for a menu of services, and I didn't personally partake in the services, but my instinct tells me that if the masseuse is wearing a bikini, she's probably a professional.

UT to give full scholarships to in-state students from families making less than $65K
May I take issue with characterizing this as a "scholarship?" Look, I'm not saying it's bad policy, or that I'm against it. In fact, I think it's good policy to take the best and brightest, regardless of income, and use them for betterment of society. It seems like this is designed to make sure that the best and brightest (top 6% at least) do not take lesser paths, because of lack of resources. Given the chance to vote on this issue, I would vote for it. However, the definition of scholarship is: a grant or payment made to support a student's education, awarded on the basis of academic or other achievement. As best i can tell the only academic or other achievement required here is for your parents to be below a certain income. In my world, that means you didn't achieve anything. Perhaps if we want to be an institution of excellence, we start with using the proper nomenclature. That is all.

Miami in the summer is hot, but not as hot as most of Texas. I cannot stress strongly enough that, if you want to sit on a beach for 72 hours and have people do everything for you, go to one of these places. If service is valued by you, and you want a taste of the easy life, go here. If you're worried about the heat, they will have a cabana boy or girl surround you with 4 beach umbrellas, and they'll come adjust them throughout the day to make sure you're shaded. If you've always wanted to have a couples massage, in your room, from a Eastern European massage independent contractor, they have that too. House car will be a Bentley, Escalade or Tesla and the concierge will move you up the list at any restaurant.

Maybe you made the right decision. It seems like you would want to go super fast, super competitive (one-design) or super comfortable, and I don't think this checks any of those boxes. I think someone raced a Gunboat one year, that's probably the ride you angle for.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but with the size and the weight of these boats, their movements are somewhat predictable. When that guy brings all those wimmens and dudes wearing the brand new Musto gear up on the bow to pull in some spinnaker - those are VIP's that want to have a story for the bar later. If there was substantial likelihood of ass over elbows, they wouldn't be there. Try not to step on anything slippery and keep your weight low.

I don't know man, maybe that guy's technique was bad but it seems like they could unload it a little, somehow. I think that dude took it in the chips. Those things are freaking tankers. I guess they "race" them for entertainment, but surely they're not trying too hard.
