I have an 08 FX35, which I bought after the lease expired on my 05 version. I love it. I’m 6'4", and can comfortably haul my two 6' kids and all their sports crap. I am giving it to my kids when they turn 16 this summer.

Wrong bird but +1 anyway. Didn’t the pelican hang with the fish at the dentist’s office?

That would never happen to me.

Depends — how bad is she at giving blowjobs?

For fitness, there is only one DOM.

Squatting “135" (to quite Dom Mazetti, “Who knows how much weight this is? You’re lifting on the moon, bro.”) in a Smith machine is pretty goddamn embarrassing.

We came up with this system long ago - the free market. No, Alabama won’t pay the same as East Bumblefuck U, but that’s not a bad thing. Athletes could bargain, negotiate and decide for themselves what means the most. There’s no need to replace this busted, controlled market with another controlled market.

As I told the OP, that’s the argument that gets people’s 401k killed — “Keep it in company stock! Be loyal and supportive!”

That’s the same bullshit argument that banks were using back in 2006 to get their employees to keep their 401k’s filled with company stock. “You’ll support the company! It’s good for everyone!” That is, until the stock went in the shitter — causing some people to un-retire, and others to postpone retirement for 5-9…
