Not unless something has changed. I was stationed at Ft. Polk when Louisiana was still the only state with 18 drinking age. It was the opposite, I could buy alcohol off-post but not at the PX.

Doesn't count. He was white.


Such a tired argument. There were many white SLAVES, no matter what false narratives people want to put on it. And to top it off more often than not black slaves were looked at as more valuable, due to being more heat-hardy than their counterparts of primarily European descent, and therefore treated better.

I highly recommend folks read “They Were White and They Were Slaves”. It’s very informative and, unlike most drivel that claims to be historical non-fiction these days, includes source references for every claim made in it.
Captain John Douglass (5th great-grandfather) - 11th Pennsylvania Regiment

quote:

Captain Douglass was born in 1747. Soon after the Battle of Lexington he began his military service. On June 3, 1776, the Continental Congress resolved “that a flying camp be immediately established in the middle colonies.” The definition of the Flying Camp Battalion is a Reservist or a Home Guard. Their duties were to serve and protect citizens of the state in case of an invasion. They acted like a police force guarding barracks and government buildings. For its part, Pennsylvania was called upon to provide a force of some 6,000 men. Delegations of one officer and two enlisted men from each of Pennsylvania’s fifty-three associated battalions met in Lancaster, on July 4, 1776, for the purpose of selecting this force. Captain Douglass was appointed Captain in the Flying Camp, Company G, on July 3, 1776 by order of the Pennsylvania State Convention. He served in the 11th Pennsylvania Regiment, taking part in the Battle of Brandywine where his regiment took heavy loses and wintered in Valley Forge. He resigned on December 7, 1777. In 1805 he was appointed an alderman of Philadelphia and was elected High Sheriff of the city and county in 1825. His office was located in the west wing of Independence Hall. He married Ann Jones at Christ Church on August 10, 1772. Ann Douglass died on September 22, 1826. Captain Douglass died on July 8, 1840 at the age of 94 years old. The notice in the Philadelphia Public Ledger on July 10, 1840 is headed “Another Revolutionary Character Gone!”

Congrats! Just turned 45 yesterday and not sure I can do another 20 years in corporate America. I’ve got another 10 in me for sure and maybe 15 at most.


52 here. Waiting on my company's next predictable reorg, in about 5 years, and will test the waters on taking whatever package they offer. My biggest fear about leaving, earlier than the fed retirement age, is losing the health insurance or having to pay out the nose to keep it. That might be the one thing that keeps me from hitting the button when it's available.

I think y'all will win a conference game this year


That's very generous of you. I honestly don't have a clue what to expect, this season, so I'll just go with the default and expect the worse.

However if we do win a conference game, and only one, it's gonna suck having to wait until Thanksgiving weekend to see it happen. :cheers:

SNAP and any other govt benefits should be for essentials only. No soda, no candy, no lobster.


I just don't get what is hard to understand about Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program meaning. If it doesn't have any true nutritional value, it should not be approved. I mean they have the WIC program and there is an approved list and those items are strictly limited to things that are nutritionally beneficial. Why is SNAP any different?
Hard to get much darker than Arkansas. :lol:

How many schools have sold the naming rights I wonder


quote:

At least 58 college football teams have sold naming rights for their stadiums. This trend has been increasing, with notable deals occurring in recent years.


quote:

Recent Trends in Naming Rights

The increase in naming rights deals indicates a shift in how college athletic departments are seeking revenue.

These agreements often involve significant financial commitments from sponsors, which can provide essential funding for athletic programs.

Notable Examples

Indiana University: Recently secured a 20-year, $50 million naming rights deal for Memorial Stadium, renaming it Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium.

University of Arkansas: Announced a $70 million deal over 13 years for Razorback Stadium, marking it as the largest naming rights deal in college football.




ETA: by my Arkansas math, that makes our agreement worth almost double Indiana's on an annual basis. Not too shabby IMO.

Also, just for shites and giggles, this is the only other SEC school with such an agreement so far...

Kentucky’s deal with Kroger (announced in 2017) renamed Commonwealth Stadium to Kroger Field under a 12-year naming-rights agreement starting immediately, worth about $1.85 million per year (payments go through Kentucky’s multimedia rights partner, JMI Sports).

Well, the vagina was designed at the dawn of humans, so I'd say yes. Also, it is probably the greatest creation ever...yuge fan.
Dude, or whatever it is, in the blue looking like a straight up chimp there at the end.

$5.4 million isn't very much.


"Largest deal of its kind in college football". What am I missing? :dunno:

Hate HY all you want, I do, but this is a good deal. Will some other schools come out, in the near future, with a bigger stadium naming rights deal? Maybe, hell probably. Doesn't change the fact that, for once, we were ahead of the curve on something because these type deals are going to become commonplace in the age of legal pay-for-play. Give the credit to whoever you want, HY, Learfield, the pope but at the end of the day this is a good deal.
Three arrested for assault - KYTX CBS19

quote:

Fuller was arrested on June 23 and booked into the Gregg County Jail on a $20,000 bond. She was released the next day, according to jail records. 

On Thursday, Brown and Mumphrey voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement, police said. Brown and Mumphrey were booked into the Gregg County Jail and charged with assault causing bodily injury Thursday with a $20,000 bond each. Both of them were released from jail the same day.

Longview Police Department spokesperson LaDarian Brown confirmed Fuller's arrest is connected to a reported assault that occurred Sunday at Whiskey J's, located at 300 TX-63 Spur in Longview, prior to the surrenders and arrests of Brown and Mumphrey.

“I think that there was a little bit of like liberal wishcasting that this would maybe be a disaster to sort of stick it to Trump,” said Rob Flaherty, the digital Democratic strategist and soccer fan who attended the U.S. group-stage match with Australia. “It hasn’t yet been.”



I really hope they have have great security at and around these events and are proactively watching for threats. I could see some loon leftists planning some terrorist act just to put a damper on the overall vibe of the Cup and, in their warped minds, Trump by proxy.
Group B is dumber than shite nut I disagree with your assessment that group A was of average intelligence. I think they were geniuses. :lol:

A Georgia man is believed to have died from a heart attack while disposing of a murder victim in Alabama woods.

The bodies of Jessica Folds, 47, and Daniel Robbins, 44, were discovered June 10 in Chambers County.

District Attorney Mike Segrest on Thursday said an autopsy showed Folds died of strangulation and Robbins of a heart attack.

Folds lived in Lanett and Robbins lived in Macon, Ga.

The discovery was made about 12:20 p.m. that Wednesday in the 1000 block of County Road 86.

Chambers County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the dirt road when a passerby spotted the pickup truck in the road.

When deputies arrived, they found Folds and Robbins in a nearby wooded area.

Their bodies were taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for an autopsy.

“Based on the investigation by ALEA and the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office, and the autopsy done by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, the female victim was strangled, and it appears the male was attempting to dispose of the body in a remote location.”

“He died of a heart attack while doing it,” Segrest said.

“Their bodies were right there together.”

The district attorney said the truck was still running and the driver’s side door was open. The tailgate was down, and there were drag marks in the dirt from the tailgate up into the woods where the bodies were found.

Segrest said there was no evidence to show where the strangulation took place but said he believed it was the result of a domestic incident.

Based on the condition of the bodies and the fact that the truck was still running, Segrest surmised the incident unfolded the night before.

Folds was the mother of three adult sons.

“Jessica lived and worked many places in the Auburn-Opelika area,” according to her obituary.

“Jessica touched the lives of many with her heart of gold, deep love for everyone, and a smile that brightened the world.”

“Daniel was a country boy who loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing and had a deep passion for racing,” according to his obituary.

“He specialized in welding, but loved working in farming and on vehicles.”
