    Starkville people…..

    The current owner is a solid human being as well. He worked for the original owner for years before buying it. He and his wife are running it, so it has the same feel.

    Ace was never going to compete with Lowe’s East Mississippi Lumber, Discount Building Materials and Bell Building Supply in town. It was a terrible idea. 7 Brew uses instant coffee. It’s turned that parking lot into a nightmare.

    Who Stayed Up Way Past His Bedtime Last Night

    Do you understand why Strickland was moving backwards? It was a stylistic battle and those can be “boring” if you don’t understand what it going on. Chimaev is a wrestler. Moving backwards puts a wrestler at a disadvantage. Sean was doing EXACTLY what he needed to do to win that fight. Both...

    Who Stayed Up Way Past His Bedtime Last Night

    If you thought Strickland vs Chimaev was a bad fight, then you don’t understand what you are watching and there is no sense in continuing this conversation on my end… If you expect every fight to be Hokit vs Blaydes, you will always find disappointment and that’s been true since the UFC was...

    Who Stayed Up Way Past His Bedtime Last Night

    As a general rule, they are pretty 17ing solid. As solid as you will get in terms of two folks fighting. There will always be some bad fights. Have you watched the last several events? There have been some great events this year.

    Who Stayed Up Way Past His Bedtime Last Night

    It wasn’t a UFC event. UFC fights are still solid. This was a Netflix/Jake Paul special.

    The Rumblings with Carlo are Awesome

    I guess I kinda recognize him, but honestly, my childhood revolved around Gunsmoke, Lonesome Dove, hunting and fishing with some Clint Eastwood and John Wayne thrown in for variety. I don’t think I ever watched a complete episode of Seasame Street or anything like that. If we watched cartoons it...

    The Rumblings with Carlo are Awesome

    I’m in my forties and couldn’t name a muppet character outside of Kermit and Ms Piggy. That dumb @$$ show always freaked me out as a kid.

    OT: The New Pandemic

    It’s awful and I honestly don’t understand why they can’t see that they look like cartoon characters. Glad my wife chose to age gracefully.

    I tripped and did a really cool dad move

    And that is why I won’t have surgery on mine unless I absolutely have to. That was my doctor’s advice.

    I tripped and did a really cool dad move

    I tore my rotator cuff on December 17th. I finally went to the doctor last week and my wife literally manages an orthopedic clinic. Rub some dirt on it. Drink some water. Take 800 mg of ibuprofen and have it checked out in mid-May if it still hurts.

    Kurds off the top rope, this could get interesting!

    Nobody is claiming otherwise. America wins wars. America’s warfighters destroy the opposition. Politicians and the media spin it as something else for their own reasons.

    Y’all called them “ISIS hunters” before ISIS existed?

    Kurds off the top rope, this could get interesting!

    If it hasn’t happened, it’s going to happen. We’ll supply some other nation to go in and fight. We’ll send advisors with them. Then, we’ll send in ground troops to help control the situation on the ground and reinforce our advisors and allies. Then we’ll piss off the allies. Then, they’ll turn...
