Why is everyone so damn obsessed with Baylor around here???
Probably the same people obsessed over uniforms. That one guy bundled up a bunch of those mock ups and emailed Jamie with his recommendations.
 
Lora Croft is the only good movie off a game, and that's only because of Jolie.

An aside, I used to think Jolie was smoking hot, she has definitely went down hill dramatically for her age. At this point, if Brad, I would have wished I kept Anniston. Then again, there was always rumors that Jolie was a nymph, so she has that going for her.
 
Yeah, you have to own it: "Yes, I meant to be done that fast. I got **** to do. Try to keep up next time."

(If Mrs. GTO ever hacks into my account, I just want to point out that somebody hacked into my account first and typed the statement above)

Well thanks for the morning LOL GTO. :smile:
 
If it's the same guy directing, I'm ok with that. I struggle figuring out how you could effectively make that a full length feature film, but I'm ok with giving it a try.
Yes, it's the same guy. I guess it all depends, what works in a short film might not necessarily work in a full length.

A little sore this morning, but not as bad as I thought from the soccer game. Sad part is, with this being my youngest, there were a couple grandpas playing that I was closer in age and commonality than some dads.
 
I've noticed that since Vikes showed back up, that WDSM hasn't been around much at all.

Ladies of RTT, 4 is having some lady trouble, he could use your help. All he got was an old married Guy's attempt at help and a suggestion to expose himself and send dikpiks to her.

Heh, reminds me...went to the eye doctor the other day. His last name gave him away as being from back home, so we got to talking a little. He graduated high school in 2005. Felt pretty old.
 
We ordered our airline tickets last night. We are flying down on Allegiant because it is a direct flight at a good time and back on American. My in-laws on the other hand...three of them are driving down to save money and three of them are flying down on Allegiant with us and then flying Allegiant to Peoria on the way back, getting a hotel that night and getting picked up the next day by the three that are driving.

Now I am sure they are not getting anything extra like we are (we are doing one checked, one carry-on and one priority boarding) so it may be significantly cheaper than flying on a mainline direct to CR. Is it worth all that hassle though?

Didnt your FIL say he was paying? I don't understand them driving to save money. I would rent a car down there, nice to have away time when you want. We used to have to go to my SIL for Christmas when first married, it blew. Stayed at their place, packed in, and used their vehicles. Everybody as a group, stunk. After twice, I rented a car and the next time, a car and a hotel room. Best decisions I ever made.

There was a time when it was actually cheaper for us to drive to Omaha then fly to Washington or Texas - when gas was relatively cheap and DSM had the highest site fees in the midwest (or at least it felt that way). Parking was cheaper in Omaha too. DSM finally got their prices more in line with other airports and we started using them. However, I've almost NEVER had a direct flight to the places I wanted to go - even when it was Seattle or Austin. I've spent a lot of time in Denver, DFW & O'Hare. :(

All that wheeling & dealing DOES sound like a lot of hassle.

Most of the time when my sisters & I (and sometimes spouses) have gone to Phoenix, we've rented a place close by to Daddy's place because a) there's only one spare bedroom and b) he keeps the house at oven temperature. If spouses are there we usually split the cost of two cars because there is such a thing as too much togetherness!

So here is how they justify it. With three of them driving they can drive straight through and RT airline tickets would be probably over $1k for all of them. Plus then they don't need to rent down there now. We still will be and he told me to get a van so they don't have to rent a third vehicle. I am assuming we will probably end up doing that even though I don't want to but this trip is long past Wx having any input or say whatsoever.

I fully understand that. I looked at CR, DSM, Moline, Dubuque and Waterloo and we decided that the arrival time plus then driving home wasn't worth it to us. I guess my in-laws don't value their own time.

We will at least have our own "condo" (more like a residence suite. One room kitchen/dining, one bedroom and a large bathroom.) Other than that it will be all nine of us together most of the time.

Last paragraph is Wx's nice way of saying I want this vacation to get over ASAP.
