1/6
So recently a friend of mine sent me the following photo and suggested it was a great idea. I mean, who wouldn't want a tree rex?

I agree, but I had some other ideas as well.

I will not apologize for what is to come next.

A Christmas tree with dinosaur legs and a tyrannosaurus head with the caption "OMG it's a tree rex!"

Fine, I admit it - I'm hooked on Chad Powers.

I think his excuse at the time was something about not having the right personnel lined up the right way.

Plausible? Sure. But I choose to believe otherwise.

I just looked - it was a 31 yard attempt.

I will only accept James Franklin as VT HC if Penn State hires Brent Pry.

I'm still ticked at Franklin for icing Georgia State kicker up 56-0 in 2017. Not because he called the timeout, but because when asked he gave a weasel response instead of just admitting he wanted to preserve the shutout.

Anyone that forces you to choose between cookies and brownies has never met the brookie.

Isn't that just...an Athletic Director?

Huh, I wonder which option I'm going to pick in this case, Civ 7.

Dialog box from Civilization VII:
Rules of Engagement

A scientist compiles fifteen rules for forecasting tornados, but the communications office throws up a roadblock to distribution. It claims the word "tornado" will trigger public panic if spoken on broadcasts, and orders a ban on its use despite meteorologists' protests.

Option 1: Do not say "tornado." (Grants bonus happiness)
Option 2: The people must be informed. (Grants bonus science)

Good news is that there's plenty of ice for the bruises

I'm Just Dan @wxdan.net · 10d

I fail to see why that is a disqualifier

In what should be no surprise, my email to CW, the ACC, and VT garnered zero reply last week.

So, uh, are they running the same commercials during this week's game? Or is it safe to watch?

I'm Just Dan @wxdan.net · 13d

Oh, Sedgwick County...this is not a useful text notification. Not even a little.

The reverse 911 call I got was a little more descriptive but the AI voice didn't understand how to read "21st/Tyler" and just said "Twenty one ess tee slash Tyler."

Law enforcement is responding to an active incident in the area of XX. Stay indoors, lock doors and windows, and avoid the area until further notice.

Excellent work, agent.

or VT football starting the season winning three straight against ranked LSU, Marshall, and Texas A&M before stumbling down the stretch by losing three straight to Pitt, Syracuse, and West Virginia

always nostalgic about the wrong things too (right thing = Craig Krenzel winning football games with 11/28 stat line and 82 yards passing)

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.
