This thread made me go back and read the Cairo thread and holy crap that thing took some turns. I’d completely forgotten about Deverre popping in mid-revolution and being all “do you think now is a good time for my grand daughter to move in with her Egyptian boyfriend?” I kind of need an update on how that turned out.

For the ninth consecutive year, I dropped the ball on getting an auction item in on time. I feel bad, because I love everything about this. So I talked to Auntie Mae’s. When you get there, tell them to put your drink on my tab.

« on: April 13, 2019, 12:40:17 PM »The discontinued gym headphones I like can only be had by buying from ebay/similar sellers in israel.
For whole lots of reasons I couldn’t get an electric bike shipped to Amman, so I finally just drove to Tel Aviv and went through the whole hassle of the border crossing (where they basically disassemble your car) to buy one and bring it back. I originally tried to just take the shorter bus route to Jerusalem and planned to ride the bike back across the border, but found out this is super not allowed. Anyway, I got to the Tel Aviv bike shop I contacted ahead of time and they had sold the bike I ordered to someone else already. So, not only is this post not really about getting something shipped, but I also still don’t have an electric bike.
Sounds like you need to open up an upscale electric bike shop in Amman!
I have actually pitched this idea to the USAID and ECON offices here. The economy is terrible, traffic and parking are awful, and the entire city is literally built on seven mountains so riding an actual bike is almost impossible.

« on: September 06, 2018, 06:00:34 PM »If KU goes 0-fer this year, they will have lost exactly 100 games in 10 years. And one of those years (2009) was a 5 win season.
If this happens, we need to erect a monument somewhere. We could tie it in to fattyfest donations.

« on: August 23, 2018, 04:19:26 PM »The first "Black Company" company book, by Glen Cook, was a lot of fun. I am on to the second one now.
I don't know why I keep up this vigil of posting about fantasy books, except that I keep hoping that Mr. Bread comes back and is proud of me. I miss him.
Pete what's your fave fantasy series?
My favorite is an unfinished series by Patrick Rothfuss, the first book is called The Name of the Wind. GRRM's Song of Fire and Ice (game of thrones) is great too of course.
I suppose a very close third would be Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy and three stand alone novels that are in the same universe. They are pretty hard core. The Bloody Nine, a key figure in the books, is one of my favorite literary characters ever.
There are so many others that I really like tho.
Wow. Basically my list exactly. I’m a sucker for The Wheel of Time, too. That Rothfuss trilogy is the definitely the best thing going, though.

I have heard the most polarizing reviews of this book I can imagine. I'm probably staying away.
Old balls nerds (like me) love it.
Yeah. I enjoyed listening to it.

Instead of a block, it's a small wooden stool. Would be amazing, IMO.

That was fun but I still don't like him 
I also still don't think he's a very good coach. But I'm resigned to him being here until he retires if he doesn't take a different job in the next month or so.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: The Official Bracketology Thread
« on: March 06, 2018, 07:43:44 AM »Fan, in these lesser known conferences, are there any league tournament upsets that are skewing the predicted bracket. I see some predictions leaving out KSU. How many B12 tourny games should we win. Is a 10 seed bad?
I'd say a 10 seed is better than an 8/9, but you want to be as highly seeded as possible.
There could be upsets in 1 or 2 leagues that steal a bid. For example, Middle Tennessee could get an at large if someone else wins their conference tournament. I'm honestly not that worried after really looking at the teams around us an below us. Our wins and road record are better than most. I don't believe OOC SOS will be that high of a factor to knock us out, especially when you see that we've played the same number or more Tier 1/2 games as anyone else in the 8-11 seed range.
Another reason to feel confident is that there is no track record of us getting screwed so we shouldn't even worry about it I don't know why I'm bringing it up 20/10/4 169/170 #RIPHuggs

« on: March 03, 2018, 07:28:05 AM »
I haven't really followed too closely this year, but I just read an article and we want the Cats to win and also Middle Tennessee State to win all their games and also Nebraska to lose (I'm not even sure about the bubble implications of that last one, but I'm pretty sure it's right because that one article I read described Nebraska's resume/record and it basically sounded exactly the same as ours).
