Put this onto the growing list of "why in TF didn't I think of that first" items....

https://nola.eater.com/2019/11/20/20974675/christmas-pop-up-bar-miracle-new-orleans-first-time


Take an existing bar, and make it over for 1 month in completely over the top, gaudy Christmas decorations. What a brilliant idea.

20 or so NYC bars do this, some even change their name. Its awesome.

Miracle on 9th St led the way, I'm sure that's where they got it from.

-Also, how do we look? First game I've not watched in 25 years. I think the Cats can pull it out.

 

[UKwizard]

Lots of problems but nothing more infuriating then the dickfinger of a defensive board after spending the previous 25 seconds playing solid D.

We look like a corpse that was set on fire and then dipped in ****.

 

[UK_ENGR]

Honestly not even redass worthy...

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

This is clearly the fans fault

 

[cricket3]

Remember Tubby’s final year, when we played a similar style to these teams who keep it close with us, and we went to Maui and got run out of the gym by a Memphis team? So much so that people specifically pointed to that game to prove The game had passed Tubby?

The guy who coached that Memphis team is the same guy as our current coach. Crazy huh?

 

[krazykats]

Georgetown looks really good.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

Just bewildering that people aren't interested in paying 50 bucks a pop to come squint at this from 100 yards away.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

One does not simply request to be on the ***** Bus. ENGATKOT

Do you REALLY want me to make 25k ***** posts like in the Tubby Superfriends heyday?

:bomb::bomb::bomb:

 

[legalbeagle123]

Great end-of-half clock management by Maxey with the jacked up 3.

 

[UpstateNYCat]

Pretty much background noise anymore.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Dont worry. Will be a fine oiled machine by March.

 

[btodd0224 n/a?]

yep, soon as we play a team that doesn’t spread us out.

Georgetown looks really good.

Cool. Looking forward to the number one Louisville Cardinals.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Nick Richards is decent. So that's cool, I guess.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Can you imagine the shame of walking into PSY 101 Monday morning knowing you were one of the few losers on campus who gave up the chance to attend this sporting event??

I’d probably withdraw from school rather than face the wrath of the student body.

 

[_Chase_]

Amazing how much better we shoot the 3 when we let them fly without hesitation during the flow of the game.

 

[UKwizard]

We 100% need Quick hunting for his shot.

 

[BBdK]

Keith Carter named Ole Miss AD. Makes me feel really old. He was one of the original modern era springy white boys.

Sorry Llama, beat you to the punch.

 

[UKwizard]

RIP Maxey.

 

[_Chase_]

Richards is playing with 10x more confidence than he ever has before, and it shows. Really cool to see how much he has improved.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

He’s a junior and the second oldest on the team. Shocking that he’s a good player.

 

[Hank Camacho]

He's bouncing around and letting his athleticism show. It really is awesome to see.

 

[UKwizard]

Congrats to all who braved the cold Friday night to get free Chic Fila.

 

[cricket3]

You don’t even have to go to the game to get the free chicken biscuit anymore.

 

[UKwizard]

Well no wonder no one goes to the games anymore.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

Congrats to Will Wade on coughing up a 17 point second half lead. That's a strong-*** choke job.

 

[CastleRubric]

Or do mescaline in Lexington.

I have stories I can share but I KNOW I need to wait
BUT there's a banjo-... (in a good way 99% of the time

 

[cawoodsct]

rayrayers to the residents at Merrick Place.

I live about a mile away, I’ll be on the lookout for late night walks from this guy around the neighborhood.

 

[ukalum01]

Was not expecting a Cannon Creek reference in GYERO when I woke up this morning.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

:fire::fire::fire:HOT TAKE: If Nick Richards is the best player on your team, your team has issues. :fire::fire:

I’ve been trying to find a way to state this without being a jerk towards Richards. I love his development and production. I’m very proud to see him put up the numbers he has.

My concern is that if this team has to rely on 15+ points, 8+ rebounds, and ~ 2 blocks from him every game (or in big games), then it might not bode well for this team’s chances.

The point is: others have to step up and HOFHCJVC doesn’t need to feature him as the number one offensive option during big possessions.

Thanks. Gonna go put up Christmas decoration in the rain on the one Saturday I have off until March.

One of my in-laws recently had to go to rehab for alcohol abuse. Good dude, means well, and I really think he's going to get it back together. That said - his wife asked if we can not have alcohol at Thanksgiving this year. You've seen my posts - my thing is picking good wines to go with the bird (well, having the sommelier pick good wines to go with the bird, but you get the idea). I'm cool with not having the heavy stuff around or even beers before and after the meal. But is it a dick move to just put this guy at the kid's table in the other room and serve wine with dinner where he can't see it?

 

[cawoodsct]

It’s a wonderful thing for Richards growth that he is playing the best and is the man now. Will bode well for us in the tourney once this train gets a rollin, like it always does. At that point he will not be the best player but will have gained valuable confidence and will give us a much needed big man presence in March and April. These guys WILL get past injuries and reach within to get back to the MSU level and beyond of play.

 

[krazykats]

We have a similar issue Wayne, and we fall for the “do you have to drink to enjoy family” BS every year.

We do it out of respect, but less and less people show up to that sides dinner every year.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Tell the wife he probably drinks because she's a ball-busting ***** and do whatever you want, imo.

But more seriously, if the guy asked I might vaguely consider it but shouldn't part of rehab for alcohol abuse be that you can be around social drinking without partaking? It isn't like heroin where you can legitimately avoid being around it the rest of your life if you choose. At some point you're going to be in the same room as a beer. If he picks one up, go Dikembe Mutombo on him.

I was thinking maybe this year, since he is fresh out of rehab, but no more, but I generally agree with the second paragraph.

I take no position on the first.

 

[justa]

Wyvern with the 4AM edit. :joy:

Puppies to all that missed that beaut of a story.

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

Wayne, I think it’s reasonable to do what you proposed - keep the liquor cabinet shut down, coffee instead of beer, etc - but requesting that wine not be served with a nice meal is a pretty draconian request. I think if you went back to her with that compromise position it would be more than reasonable.

Unfair ask on her part, imo, but family’s family.

 

[BernieSadori]

I wouldn't not have drinks at Thanksgiving in that situation.

Maybe I'd limit drinking to the basement and then put the wine in a cup or something to show some flex on the issue.

But....if he can't handle being around booze at a family get together then perhaps he shouldn't come.

If it were me, I wouldn't dare ask the host to not do what they wanted at their home.

 

[_Chase_]

I’d say since he’s fresh out of rehab comply with the request. He’s likely having an extremely difficult time, and in turn so is his wife and family. If you can make a small sacrifice this year to help them out, I don’t see why you wouldn’t do it. Unless you think drinking wine at Thanksgiving is more important than helping out (even in a small way) a guy struggling to keep his life together.

Drink all you want after he leaves.

If she asks you to do it again next year, tell them to get pumped.
