OT: 111th Obsequious Banter Thread: If threads were floors, this would be the tallest building in America

[Kermit the Prog]

Just started Band of Brothers. Been meaning to watch it for a long time.

If you didn't already hate David Schwimmer (and by law, you should), you'll definitely hate him by the first episode.

Yup. I was hoping to see his chute fail on the training drop.

I'd definitely double time Currahee just to piss in his morning coffee.

The smoke from these fires got dense enough here in the DC region that last week I could look right at the sun (through a UV filtered window) and could see that massive sunspot it's got going on right now with my human eyes. That was extremely cool. That'll probably not happen again while I live. So uh, thanks for your sacrifice Halifax

It is wild there wasn’t any kind of like cones, flairs, etc. along the road to give a better warning. Not saying you should up the ramp like that but even if you pick it up late & swerve into another lane that could be dangerous.

Did you see the video a couple months back of the car flipping in the air after hitting a tire that fell off another vehicle in the lane next to it? Wild.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah, that's poor incident scene management there. There needs to be cones, flares, fire or police vehicle or DOT vehicle as well. Kinda wild to see a lone wrecker in a lane without at least a cone taper. That likely gets you insta-fired here.

That being said, I don't think any of that was going to stop her from slamming into/through whatever they had set up, but at least she'd have less to argue in her favor

Looked like a scene out of the Dukes of Hazzard...

Also, wreckers are built like tanks. Pro-Tip: Never slam into a wrecker. In that crash, your whole vehicle is the crumple zone, because that thing is not gonna crumple at all.

More Things Not To Hit:

1) School Buses (There are always serious injuries or fatalities, and it's never the people on the bus)
2) Fire Trucks
3) Highway Safety Trucks (basically circumcised wreckers)
4) Tractor Trailers (duh)
5) Rolling Tires

Overall if I had to pick a vehicle for a destruction derby, I'm rolling with the school bus. We could launch a school bus at an incoming comet and the comet would bounce off, but then we'd have the far graver risk of a rogue school bus hurtling through the Solar System.

6. Tanks. Don't ask how I know.

Honestly if you are 50 and above you should not have children....

This takes the cake though....

It’s pretty irresponsible & you don’t have the excuse young ignorance like a teenager would. That kid is not even gonna really know his dad when he gets older.

She's also dated Mick Jagger when he was 74, Clint Eastwood when he was 89, and some billionaire investor when he was 57 so... do what you want with that information.

 

[BigToe]

I thought the ending was kind of weird, but overall, it was a great show. Really highlights the fluidity of "good and evil".

Why? I loved the ending.

Also, in certain parts of the country, moose. You don't want to hit a moose. State trooper learned the hard way.

At least crib stealer Leo DiCaprio hasn't had any children yet....

Guess that broad likes the blue pill men..

Hey....wait

No, I've actually come to peace with the fact I won't have a child. But I had to laugh when my brother had his kids with his second wife. I told him. Dude you will be in a wheel chair when they graduate high school.

Same.....

My friend and his wife had their child late...in their early to mid 40's...he personally is regretting doing it so late but they had fertility issues.

It's mostly not having the temperment for it as you age....I know I don't and the stories I hear scare me more than A.I.

As far as wealthy people having kids late..they can afford a 300k kid including the nanny while the wife is banging the pool boy, massage therapist or personal trainer.

A New Hampshire trooper hit a moose many years ago on the interstate near me. His car looked like that. All he got out of it was a busted nose.

I'm the oldest of four brothers. The youngest is 20 years younger than me. I asked my mom if it was planned when she told me she was pregnant, and she said yes. They really wanted that little girl lol. When they got the ultrasound confirming it was a boy my dad said, "Nah, that's just a girl giving me the thumbs up"

This is close to my Dads story. Oldest of 5. My grandmother always wanted a girl. Had three boys, got pregnant at 40 and had twin boys.

John Tyler takes the cake. Was born during Washington’s first term in office. Was president in the 1840s. Died during Lincoln’s presidency.

Dude’s last grandson is still going strong in his 90s.
