It seems to me that all sour candy is neutered now. Most of it is barely sour at all compared to what I remember as a kid.

Seems too expensive when they could have him for free next year. If you think he's your guy though, you gotta go for it. There aren't enough QBs to go around.

My recent car buying experience reminded me of how much I prefer buying cars from private sellers vs. dealerships. I went to 9 dealerships, 3 used car lots, and then wound up buying the vehicle off craigslist. The dealership salesmen ran the gamut from pretty chill to super high pressure and...

I heard an interview with Torrey right after Lynch and Shanahan had their first press conference and they asked him if he got to ask a question at that press conference what would it have been. His response was "We went 2-14, are you going to cut me, yes or no?". I guess now he has his answer.

Yeah, I have played the game where I take note of the car that would have been ahead of me in the drive-thru when I go inside and see if they beat me out of the parking lot. In my experience, there has to be at least 7 or 8 cars in the drive-thru to have any chance of beating them and even then...

Eh, I don't find that I encounter that very often. 5% chance of a fuckup is worth the 100% chance of not having to leave my private car and go out among the rest of the apes.

Such as?

From what I've read you can franchise as long as you want, but starting the third year, you have to pay them 144% of their previous year's salary so the price gets outrageous pretty fast. Since Cousins will get $25M this year, next year it would be $36M and the year after that, $52M. It's not...

Kevin Jones from KNBR had an interesting theory on the Cousins situation. He thinks that Cousins wants out of Washington and wants to play for Shanahan and the 49ers told him that they want him, but they're not going to give Washington a bunch of picks when the team has so many holes in it so...

After reading a couple articles I think this is all just negotiation because Cousins wants Andrew Luck money and Washington doesn't want to pay that much. Throw some bullshit out there to try to convince him to sign for less.

The idea that the Skins want to trade Cousins has never made much sense to me. He's not Tom Brady, but it's hard to see how they could really upgrade him by that much, and certainly not with Tony Romo. Maybe he really wants to play for Shanahan again?

I eat one Cadbury creme egg a year and think "Yeah, they're still not that good."

That would be quite a splash for Lynch/Shanahan as their first big move in SF.

My favorite easter move is to take a sweet tart chick/duck/bunny and a chocolate one and eat them at the same time. I don't think chocolate covered sweet tarts is a thing but it should be.

That looks promising. Thanks.

Damn, that's expensive. Is leather considered the toughest? Like I said, this is a ranch pickup, looks don't matter at all, but I need to do something because the seats are falling apart.

It seems like most college QBs are not being trained to play in an NFL offense these days as the colleges are running super simple schemes that feature athletic quarterbacks and minimal reads. The NFL started to do the same but the defenses figured it out in about 2 seasons. I wonder if we...

Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but anybody have any recommendations for seat covers? The seats on the 2013 F-350 ranch pickup are completely trashed already. I don't care about looks, I'm only interested in what is the most durable. We beat the hell out of this thing all winter...

I just bought a 2011 F-150 with the ecoboost and it's pretty amazing. I haven't tried towing or anything, but the acceleration is pretty surprising for a pickup with a v-6. It certainly accelerates a hell of a lot better than our F-350 with the 6.2 in it, but obviously that thing weighs a lot...

Biscuits and gravy is a 5 star breakfast for sure. Most restaurants don't do it very well though, gotta make it yourself.

I need a bag of these once a year: I like Jelly Belly the rest of the time though. The starburst ones are okay but they are all just in your face fruit flavor. I like all the different flavors of Jelly Belly.

It was pretty obvious from the start of the thread that you weren't really taking this seriously. It's not too late, but based on your attitude, it was only a matter of time.

Had dinner at my brother's house the other day and he made this. It was fantastic: Sautéed Chicken With Meyer Lemon Recipe

I made it through the episode this week and I laughed after they discussed the issues and then cut to what Trump promised during the campaign. Republicans are so screwed on this.

What do you have for a sound system? I had this problem for a while because I bought a small surround sound system and then later replaced the front speakers with larger ones and kept the little center channel. As a result, all of the music and sound effects were way louder than the dialog...

It looked to me like Warren realized he had the wrong envelope, didn't know what to do, showed it to whatshername and she just saw the words "La La Land" on the paper and said it without really looking at it. Sadly I watched that and as soon as she read it I changed the channel since I didn't...

Yeah, I have no argument with anything you said here. Going on vacation is fine, it's just about where you prioritize it. I went fishing in Alaska this summer, although it was only for 4 days and I don't feel the least bit bad about it because I didn't sacrifice anything more important for it...

Just go to the company website, find a picture of the upper management team, photoshop dicks in all of their mouths, and then enclose it with your resume as an example of your skills. This will guarantee you only get jobs in places where they have a sense of humor and/or hate their upper...

I imagine Adebisi's managers being in a conference room and going "Well, we have to lay somebody off, who should it be?" and the boss says "Just have IT check the weblogs and lay off whoever has the highest message board post count." Also I made a squarespace website once for a local school and...

Unless you're a real weakling, don't get too hung up on weight. You don't want to carry 20 lbs of shit you don't need, but I think for a lot of those ultralight guys it's more of a religion than any practical reason. If you're cutting the handle off of your toothbrush to save weight you're...

You couldn't be more wrong. I spend every day doing what I like to do. Maybe that's the reason I don't think it's worth thousands of dollars to hike in mountains that are halfway around the world instead of the ones I can drive to in a couple hours.

That's still some high dollar pussy.

About 20% is where I'm at too, although I was lucky enough to inherit 50% of a piece of land that is worth $5+ million and could be leased out for at least $120k a year I choose to bust my ass and live on $30k a year because this cowboy shit is just so much fun.

For the record, I'm not saying you can't go on vacation or ever go out to eat or whatever, you should just prioritize it behind your savings, because compound interest is so fucking effective on money you save in your 20s and 30s and so much less effective on money you save in your 50s and from...

Whatever you want. The good thing about it is that there will be about 20 times as much of it as you gave up in your 20s and at that point you may not have the option to work and get more.

It's tough to get more bang for your buck than IRA in your 20s, or better yet, your teens. You could even stop contributing in your 40s while your kids are in college and probably still come out ahead of someone who didn't contribute in their 20s and goes hard in their 40s-50s. Also, the...

Come on now. That corvette he bought and then totalled at age 24 was way better than financial security in the golden years. My cousin's husband works in the oil fields and he told me about a kid that worked 2 jobs there right out of highschool, close to 80 hours a week with no days off for a...

Maxing the employer match should be the minimum level you should consider. Maxing the federal limit is a goal to shoot for.

This. Go hard on the 401k from the first check. There will never be an easier time to do it. You can't miss what you never had.

Getting grilled chicken at KFC is like ordering spaghetti at a Chinese restaurant. You're in the wrong damn restaurant and even if they give you want you wanted, it's not going to be good.
