I really wish he said something like, "I TOOK A HUGE SHIT BEFORE THE GAME. IT WAS MASSIVE AND RUNNY AND THEN SOLID AND THEN I PASSED OUT. THATS HOW MY STOMACH FEELS, WRITE THAT."

I get the modern day story of 535 lunatics who rose to power everyday on cnn and fox news.

But seriously, thanks for the recommendation as I am a huge WWII history buff.

For the most part yes. Bridges are often not as redundant a system as a building, but they both have very well known loading patterns that have been studied meticulously, thus allowing for built in factors of safety within the accepted load combinations as well as reduction factors. IT becomes and economics game at

You've been grossly misinformed. Buildings have FOS of about 2:1 sometimes 3:1 depending on your purpose. If a military base wall is to resist a certain amount of blast force, you would take that number and set that as your design load. When you analyze your failure load, it should be twice the design load, or 3

Austin is way over priced. You'd save money driving to SA for tacos each morning.

Torchy's is great but come to San Antonio and get Erick's Tacos. If you don't speak spanish, find a buddy who does. They have a fruteria that has a building and a taco truck that has their kitchen. And if you order something on the menu that resembles a torchy's taco, you get a funny look. I've never had a more

When I write a 432 page report, I back it up in at least 5 different places electronically and make about 10 hard copies.

Inflated. After all, he does crossfit...

i'm taking this for my fantasy team name next year. Thanks.

Then they sit back down in the same chair they stood from within the capitol building because most of them get reelected anyway.

I would guess these guys get some kind of expedited US Passport processing. If that's true, I am jealous.

What's worse than losing that game or not tying it up is Josh Smith's face saying with an expression, "Ooooh I should have made that!!!" Despite all statistics pointing to otherwise. His mentality of I can make these shots when everyone says I can't is the mentality of an uncoachable player.

You're mixing up "win at all cost" and "Do what you're supposed to during live competition."

CARLOS VALDERRAMA! 53 years old and playing basketball in the NBA!

sounds like a group of guys not above collusion... I wouldn't want to be their commish either.

Kendrick Perkins is an anthropomorphic pumpjack that somebody taught to play basketball.

Agreed that they are in a sorry state. But for him to say theres no significance to the game is just stupid. If Leeds had won over Derby the fans would be ecstatic because 1. their team is shit and has been going down the loo, and despite that they get a win over Derby and 2. there is bad blood between the two teams

The fact that it is a rivalry provides some significance. Much like the fact that the KC Royals hadn't been to the World Series since 1985. How does that affect today's players? Ask a Royals player what winning a WS would mean to them and the fans and you might hear something like, "Well it would be great for the city

And yet as an MLB writer you reference the past... It's 2014. Do I need to reference your material for credibility in my rebuttal?
