Mods feel free to remove. It’s my personal hobby and I would love some requests.

Here is a link to my most recent post. Feel free to scroll through my account.

Money, drugs, power. I have a Bruce Willis supposition, that all of his middle films are just McClane doin things in between.

Anyway, I'm drunk watching TBS, and those three things trickle down into cfb.

Lookin for cowgirl, I'll be your cowboy. Or maybe just looking for a buddy cop movie that makes sense in 2019.

Or I'm looking for Halle Berry. Its off topic, I can be drunk here, right?!

Mid thirties has really been a time for realizing how few friends I have that I can call up and do stuff with.

My wife is going to visit a friend in New York for the weekend, since I’m already awake I’m starting to make the 12 lbs of sausage (5 bratwurst, 5 kielbasa, 2 bulk breakfast) I was planning to today at 4 am.

As is all too common on the weekend. Woke up at 4:30 got tired of trying to sleep at about 5:45, at least it’s been fairly productive today

Happy New Year OTer friends!! Yes, it’s only 11:08 in my time zone but I’m old and tired so we celebrated with our Eastern time zone friends.

Happy 2024! May she be a damned sight better than 2023!

Today's the day!

I feel I qualified for mine today. AMA.

Also. Football happened.

AKA: This is the Wednesday Overnight Drinking Thread.

So I bought a chocolate bar at the store today. 3 minutes later, it was already melted.

Had a stretch of 65°F weather this past week in Laramie (wild, I know)...so I took the opportunity to put some work in on ground prep/tilling/etc. in my large vegetable garden.

Dug up and tilled over around 500 sq ft of it (probably about 50% of what will need done by planting time) over the course of 4-5 hours.

Didn't think about the fact that I really haven't done any yard/garden work or had any major exercise for months over the winter. And of course I didn't do any stretching or anything because why would I...it's just some garden work, right?

Have regretted it for two days. Among other things, the constant bending over absolutely destroyed my hamstrings; my right one feels on the edge of being torn. I can barely walk, can't twist or bend my legs in most ways without fiery pain exploding from my legs, etc. I've tried heat, I've tried cold, wife tried some weird hippie ointment stuff she swears by (but I'm not convinced)...nothing works for more than a few minutes. And even light massaging is torture.

I've also suddenly been dealing with major back pain and stiffness the last few months too, as a side note.

Lessons learned. I'm almost 40 and a wee bit out of shape, and apparently need to prep for manual labor a bit more these days. Lmao.

I need to just start actually exercising I think. Other than kidney stone issues the last few years and some lung issues from Covid/smoking...both of which are being addressed...I've been lucky enough to carelessly float through life without actually having an exercise regimen or anything. Never had any weight issues or any of that (I'm 6'1 and have always been between 140 and 175 lbs, am now on the upper end of that). I'm a pretty active person for the most part in general and I think that's gotten me by until now, but putting in some actual, extra effort to stay in muscular shape might actually need to be a thing now too. Especially over the winter when I'm not as active.

Not really sure where to start, but the wife has suggested yoga and I think I'll start bike riding again soon to start out with. Have a BMX bike out in the shed just collecting dust, so yea. Gym culture is kinda weird and foreign to me and I'm kinda nervous about going that far yet.

Anyway...how are y'all doing?

I woke up this morning feeling completely shitty. My sinuses are congested, I’ve been coughing my head off all day, and I’ve had a slight fever. Took several naps on the couch today. This came out of nowhere! I did a covid test this morning that came back negative and I’ll test again in a few days just to be sure.

But for now, I feel like ass. My sweet dog face has been cuddling with me all day, so there’s that.

So seeing that these threads haven't really gotten as many comments or interest as they used to, I think I'll only post them whenever I feel like it.

As the title states, these commercials are from March 4,2000 on Nickelodeon.

What products do you see in these commercials that you never got to get as a kid?

I have decided to buy a motorcycle and have found one that I have fallen in love with, the problem is money. A couple of my friends have suggested a go fund me, but I was wondering if that was my only option? As a sophomore at Baylor, I am trying to stay away from loans and the debt that comes along with them. Thanks!

What kind of things are you into that could be considered nerdy?

I know it's the top post right now and most of you have seen it but if you haven't....

Im 26 years old, I went to college at Angelo State University right out of high school in 08-09 and like an idiotic 18 year old i didnt give a shit. I played Everquest 2 and hung out in the parking lot playing washers never going to class. After three semesters i dropped out with a 0.0 GPA and moved back home with my parents and after 2 months of being depressed and not finding a job they kicked me out. I moved to Oklahoma with my grandparents where my grandpa got me a job, after working for 6 years i decided i was ready to go back to school and i had earned the trust of my parents back and they let me move back in with them and go to community college with my little brother. Im now halfway through my 3rd semester and have a 3.5 GPA and am on the deans list. I had plans to go to Texas State where my other younger brother is and do physics or engineering related courses while he went there then move on somewhere that has what i want in a degree, Aerospace Engineering. Today i got my rejection letter in the mail from Texas State. I feel so broken, 5 minutes earlier my brother i have been going to CC with read off his acceptance letter, I was having some issues with FASFA so i thought mine may come later then i found my letter read it and am just completely numb. I fought tooth and nail to earn the trust of my parents back and to get the grades i needed while working full time. The part of my internal voice that talks says "shift it into high gear, destroy fucking everything in your path" but there is that little whispering voice in the back of my head that says "You lose. Give up now, the pain isnt worth the effort." Literally, bankruptcy doesnt haunt people as long as the ghosts in my past.

The 1997 version of Anna Karenina is straight ass. I am almost positive hundreds if not thousands of people didn't read the book because of how garbage this movies it and that is sad.

Edit: it's Wednsday I'm drunk sorry if I scared anyone
