30 days in local rural jail is a vacation, not punishment.

Jean-Ralphio and Mona Lisa Sapperstein

They were awful personalities but incredibly funny and entertaining. I don't want to smack them, I want to laugh my arse off.

The Soprano kids, you genuinely want to smack them.

Can’t wait for the first dolphin to start a thread in the OT.

Do we know they aren't already posting among us?

(b) I'd love to hear what a dolphin has to say about SFP or TulaneLSU. There's got to be dolphins smarter than either of them.

The UK & France will probably condemn it

The French have alreadys surrendured to Iran and Starmer is arresting anybody not wearing a burqa.

All 50 states fit inside the Top 80 when ranked against other countries.

Only 30 countries in the world have a higher GDP per capita than Mississippi (the lowest ranked state)

Only 16 countries in the world rank above Louisiana.

This is so true. I always get a chuckle when I hear elitist douchebags throw shade at places like MIssissippi and Alabama.

(a) they are still light years ahead of most of the world. If said elitist dbags would travel anywhere other than influencer hotspots they would realize this;

(b) the whole GDP per capita thing is a bit of a misnomer, too. It works like an average. You have some places in AL, MS, LA that are pretty poor, but that doesnt' mean the places I've lived in those states are poor or crummy. My schools are great, my neighborhood very clean and quiet, my restaurants decent...

I'm not losing a lot of sleep about lower GDP/pc than Illinoist and New York. I'm also not worried about my NFL team leaving the state nor a 10pct property tax increase because my leadership is a bunch of brain-dead socialists.

I’m not really aware of any in Atlanta otter than Brooks Brothers, which can handle the suit part, but isn’t really the kind of spot OP’s referencing. Got any recs?

---

I don't love Sid Mashburn but I think ATL is his home city. It's overpriced and tries a bit too hard but there are certainly some good staples there.

Miller Brothers / Miller Collective in Buckhead, very solid joint.

H Stockton is an older school spot that recently moved. Last time I was there the clerks were a bit uppity and I overheard them really grinding an axe over politics. That has no place in retail so I dont' go there anymore but you make like it.

I think there's also a Billy Reid and Onward Reserve in the area. Billy Reid is a good southern brand but also a bit fashion-forward for my personal taste. Onward Reserve is a growing brand based out of Thomasville with a local founder and operator. Seems like a good bunch and I've bought stuff there. I don't know how much they get into suiting and tailoring if that's what your're after. It's more of a "what to wear to the country club" spot, but that's considered top notch attire at many banks and lawfirms these days.

Murphy, who is considered a 2028 Democratic presidential hopeful,

Oh this should be great. lots of people will vote for him. :lol:

said in a statement, “Donald Trump has made a mockery of the State of the Union speech

Here's the fatal mistake: if he's going to make an arse of himself, why not let him do it in front of all of America??? Consider a sports metaphor: if you know your opponent is going to foul out, why stop him from making mistakes?

maybe settle on Grand Cherokee L or pathfinder new.

---

No disrespect but i wouldnt' touch either car.

GC has all kinds of issues and Nissan is a dumpster fire with longeivity questions. I think the Pathfinder also has a CVT which is a bad idea.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding here.

The coach is not a sports technician. His job description does not read: "call good plays in order to score more than opposing team, win games".

The coach must deal with the owners, front office, recruiting, playing field, league management, the media...

Many southern towns and all southern cities have at least one good mens store. Off hand I can think of such in BR, NOLA, Mandeville, Shreveport, Laffy, Houston, Gulfport, Mobile, Pensacola, Tallahassee, B'ham, Statesboro, ATL, Columbia, Greenville, Charleston, Jacksonville...

This is a southern thing. You go to the midwest or mountain west and good luck. You can buy your clothes at Walmart, Amazon, or Tractor Supply. I guess the mall, if those are left. Orvis was a viable option until they closed half their stores.

If liberalism was a city it would be Mobile.

Mobile has a republican mayor and the prior was, too.

it's not a tourist city, it's a blue collar port city. Lots of jobs. Lots of economic activity. There are rough areas but the metro area is much nicer and less jacked up than many areas.
