Its great---if you go with people who belong to the highest levels. My wife and her cousin are both Seven Stars members at Caesars. So when we all go, we get picked up at the airport in an Escalade, get comped free meals at Nobu and Peter Lugers and wherever else, and a bunch of free drinks at the cigar lounge and other bars.

If either of them has an issue, they just call their host and it gets fixed immediately.

Was there for New Year's and will be going back in two months.
English bulldog--Lola

Brown tabby cat--Pixie
Orange tabby cat--Polly. It was supposed to be a girl per the shelter, but it turns out he's a boy. So Paulie I guess.
Yes. There's not a coach alive, including Saban, that could have done that turnaround in two years.
Maybe. Bloomington is a perfect college town. I lived there for about one year and the town and the campus are just flat out beautiful.

I hadn't heard of it but yes I'll definitely watch it. I spent 20 years of my life on an Abrams tank, so if i will watch anything tank related.
Excellent. frick Somalia and everyone in it.

I will never forget Mogadishu.
Personally, I wouldn't fly back to Rome. You can see the Vatican during the cruise day. Rome is cool but not worth an additional flight and more days in my opinion.

If I had a few more days after Athens, I'd choose to fly to Vienna over Rome. Or Porto.

He's a shithead that got kicked off if Clemson's team because he was secretly taking cawk pics of his teammates in the locker room.

That's probably why he changed his last name to fool both Ole Miss and LSU. But both are too dumb to not recruit a weirdo.
I see Sims is going to Arkansas and Yarbrough signed in December.

Both of those guys are from the high school in the county I live in and went to Durant, OK HS and played together. When Sims was a SR, Yarbrough was a SO. I know a friend's kid that played with them and his impression was Sims is a stud and the real deal. Yarbrough was more hype and athletic potential than production.

But Yarbrough is supposedly a good young man with his head on straight. My wife has been acquainted with his mom for 15 plus years and the mom is really excited for him to get a shot at Arkansas.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to seeing how they progress for you guys and hoping they represent Bryan County well.
Washington County, MO is actually backwoods as shite for being fairly close to St Louis. My dad worked for the Mark Twain National Forest and would have to go survey forest timber around Potosi.

Elephant Rocks is there as well and is a cool place.

Rural Missouri is great, but you need a good bit of land to have lebensraum from the meth heads.
That's the funniest and best video clip I've seen in quite a while.

Have those nerds ever even seen a fight, much less ever been in one? The older guy towards the end--when in range, all he did was put his head down to his knee level like he was turtling up. Did it a couple of times. Just asking for a knee to the dome.
That's really not good. I think some of the RBs have been serviceable but I can't stand the way Alabama has built their OL the past several years. Huge guys with stars, but we're really just overweight and slow. Guys that look like behemoths but are pudgy and soft.

Carrying bad weight is worse than being undersized.
Dairy Queen sucks. Whataburger has gone into no ho territory for me. Way back in used to love their patty melts. I won't go to Whataburger anymore and they're all around me.

Sonic is obviously popular in Oklahoma (it's headquarters is in OKC) but I prefer a different Oklahoma chain--Braum's. Their crinkly fries aren't the best but no worries. Their burgers and shakes are on point.
My family for several generations grew up farming the fertile grounds of Puke and Calhoun counties of Illinois. I still have so many family members around Pittsfield and Kampsville.

Ive killed deer in 5 states and none have been as nice as the ones i killed on the old farm over there. I assume it's still shotgun and not rifle, at least it was when I used to extensively hunt the area.

Big deer over there. They're definitely eating well.
I was on an Abrams tank for over 20 years, so I was always outside. Except for 3 years when I was voluntold to be an Army Recruiter for 3 years. Those 3 years working out of an office were really hard for me.

I'd rather be outside breathing fresh air and dealing with the elements. It's my belief that humans weren't designed to be trapped inside 4 walls for most of their lives.
You can in Oklahoma, but it's basically the wild west over here.

They were redoing some shots then. They were here not long ago.

They were filming Season 2 at the Choctaw Casino here in Oklahoma a few weeks ago. I'm probably going to be in the background of a few scenes unless I get edited out.
Central West End has always been nice. But if you wander a block in the wrong direction, forget about it.

Downtown is a serious shithole. I won't ever go back into the city proper.
