GYERO ARCHIVE

^That question took me down a wormhole of how many IATA codes there are along with ICAOs. There are like 46,000 airports or runways around the world...

-Heading back home today, been in Louisville since Sunday. Haven’t seen the sun once, it’s raining. Yeesh, forgot just how gloomy it can be around here. Good luck the rest of the way gang. I’ll be switching from boots to flops the second leg of my flight. Maybe buy some of the hats with lights the eskimos wear so you don’t want to kill yourself AS much. Pulling for you.

George played a basketball game of his own on his little basket during the entire game last night. During timeouts, I had to play with him (I'm really good at blocking a 3 year old's shots, btw). Anyways, when the game was over he just lost it and started crying "I FORGOT TO WATCH THE GAME!" (I also tried to point out the GBB chant to him, Gonzo, but he was too busy shooting to pay attention.)

Hoot will do this, too. He and his little sister both have known "Go Cats!" and the "C-A-T-S" cheer pretty much since they could talk. Lot of fun to relive our own memories as young UK fans through their eyes.

Airport codes don't normally change.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Assumed Louisville's code was TOM.

 

[GYERater]

Alice Texas airport uses ALI per some article I read.

Sorry, SAE - being a brash dickhole is the way to go in today's society. If your boy's first words aren't "beta cuck," you're doing it wrong. Enjoy.

I was raising my boy to be a complete dbag until a mass corporation that makes a gazillion million dollars off of young, mostly women, child laborers overseas shame woked me. Changing my ways, folks.

As someone with no kids, but who works with the children of other people every day, I can safely say that any parent who is worried about doing a good job raising their kid will do a good job raising their kid. It's the ones who think they have it all figured out or who don't care that raise monsters.

Or just buy him all the stuff rudd has and he'll grown up to be a real man.

As someone with no kids, but who works with the childern of other people every day, I can safely say that 99% of parents have no f*cking clue how to raise children...

 

[krazykats]

As a parent of 3 wild *** boys I can guarantee you one thing about raising kids..... your kids will absolutely help you understand your parents better for the rest of your life.

No matter if you loved them or hated them, you’ll get it!

There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn't exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn't know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep.

Then you've got predators who use violence to prey on the weak. They're the wolves.

And then there are those blessed with the gift of aggression, an overpowering need to protect the flock. These men are the rare breed who live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdog.

 

[_Chase_]

If I counted up how many different people there were in all the different "there are three types of people in this world" spiels I'm guessing there'd be around 7.53 billion.

DDI - Draft Dodger International is still available. You can check on FlightAware.

I was hoping for CMC (Cassius Marcellus Clay), but it’s already taken.

My fur daughter rejects all forms of parenting that doesn't involve peanut butter. She's a lost cause destined to be an IG model trying to get knocked up by some big baller with a huge pecker. And that's pretty damn awesome. Can you imagine if Devin Booker knocked up your lil baby girl? Can't get much better than that.

 

[B Rax_rivals210137]

OF COURSE devin booker has a giant dick.

 

[rudd1]

-gonzo nailed it. When we had our first (both 26) we peppered the pediatrician with all sorts of questions. Her reply: if you're asking questions you're on the right track. Stupid people don't question themselves/status quo.

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

I think if your child turns out less f***ed up than you, pat yourself on the back. My goal as a parent is for my kids to be better people than me and for them to strive for their kids to be better than them. Seems reasonable.

I planned on raising my children by beating them senseless, objectifying their mother, and making them shave with Schick. I've gathered that's pretty bog standard parenting, but some of you guys seem to indicate that not raising an ******* is an option, so I'm kinda confused

 

[buckethead1978]

My rules of life:
-Look out for the little guy.
-Do your best to not be a hypocrite
-Be decent to others

You can guide your kids as best you can but sometimes they just become whatever.

My 11 year old was halfway through the Hunger Games (book 1) at dinner yesterday. She read all during dinner, came home, and continues to read until she was done. Not sure why she is like that. Our oldest won't read at all. It is embarrassing.

The 11 year old one of the nicest kids I know. I am scared to death as to how puberty is going to change her. Zero back talk, no moodiness, just a pleasure to be around. How she got this way? I don't know.

I am no angel and have too many shortcomings to list, but just making an observation as I'm about to bring a son into the world. Perhaps it's just entertainment and I'm being ridiculous, but I've been trying to get my bearings about "manhood" and what I want to impart on the little dude in the coming years.[/QUOTE]

Can’t go wrong with “The True Gentleman” by Mr. John Walter Wayland.

* Things got absolutely BONKERS last night in the Tulsa-UConn game. Thankfully, Danny Hurley was ejected as he tried to shake Frank Haith's hand. Can't imagine how much this chaos could have escalated. I really appreciated the announcers astutely pointing out how similar this was to the John Cheney-John Calipari highlight (you know, the one where Cheney stormed into the postgame press conference and threatened to kill Coach Cal). Like, the EXACT same thing.

Here’s the other thing about parenting that non-parents don’t realize: you really don’t have as much to do with what kind of people they end up being as much as you’d like to think. You could do everything “right” and your child still end up strung out on pills. Or, you can be strung out on pills and be a terrible parent and your kid could very well grow up to be a Nobel prize winner. Do your best but don’t beat yourself up. That’s my .02

My boys started dipping at 6

 

[Hank Camacho]

As a non-parent, here's the thing that all parents should know: keep them the f*** out of decent, sitdown restaurants until they aren't f***ing annoying.

And by that I mean at least 25 years old.

Terrible Parent trying to lecture Dog Parent. :joy:

No thanks, fellas. Doing perfectly fine on my own.

I look at it in terms of percentages. If you are a reasonablely responsible/loving parent, you have increased the chances your kid will grow up and be a decent human being...but it’s no lock.

On the flip side, if a kid is abused and unloved, pretty high percentage chance that they will turnout to be messed up in some way...but occasionally you get those “I’m not going to be like my parents” kids who are insanely driven to buck the trend and end up fine.

Put them in the best chance to succeed and hope for the best, who knows maybe our team will win!

 

[drxman1]

As a proud boat parent, it’s important to spend lots of time and do the routine maintence to keep their engines running. You’re constantly cleaning them, fueling them up, and sometimes they will hit a sunken log, but it’s about enjoying your time together in the water.

No, thanks

-im on team nature (vs nurture)...you can try to "mold" a kid, but the raw material is the raw material. Certainly bad vs. good circumstances can have an effect...but genes are genes.

I've honestly only been out maybe once or twice where a child was going apeshit and being a huge annoyance. I guess I've been lucky with that, but I have a feeling most people greatly exaggerate their bad kid in restaurant experiences. Or maybe stop going to Chuck E. Cheese.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

*There are lot of really successful people out there that have a sibling that goes in another direction. My experience as a father of none tells me that parenting is a crap-shoot. Do your best, love them, hope for the best?

*Spring is setting up aight for TV nerds... Homeland final season, Billions is back, Game of Thrones, etc...

*A bit surprised the Bezos duo lasted this long. A techie that works his way into wealth and power at the highest levels-- assumed he wouldve strayed a decade ago. Also it sounds like his new gal has cheated her way through the NBA and NFL already, so why not give e-commerce a shot.

*Was dying the best thing Michael Jackson could do for his legacy?

*The teenage girl escaping after 3 months being held captive is an amazing story. The guy just decides one day hes going to murder her folks and abduct her?

*The primary platform of my pending political campaign is to reduce headlight brightness. ****'s gotten out of control.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Whenever my kids were younger (babies and toddlers) and started acting up in a restaurant, I took them to the car or outside until they settled down. A crazy concept, I know. And if you teach a kid how to behave in a restaurant, they somehow figure it out. Again, wacky.

 

[BBdK]

Parents need to get back to washing/brushing their kids mouth out with soap imo - that always worked on me, can still taste it *vividly*.


As far as hysterical children in public go, a simple "look" or acknowledgement of some sort from the parent that tells you they're aware and sorry for the mild inconvenience goes a long way. Jmo. Most reasonable people understand that's what children do.

Yup, adults are far more annoying and intrusive and it's not even close.

 

[wcc31]

Michael Jackson was never looked upon as an actual human, so that helped his legacy.
