So now you can't even read a word someone else wrote without having to apologize and resign from the job you have been doing for decades? Complete bullshit. [Reply]

But somehow reddit's algorithm picked that post up and recommended it to like 10s of thousands of people as a "you might like this" post. No idea how. So then strangers started coming in, furious I had used the r-word, and I got IP banned.
Here is a Hemingway quote. How can you not respect this guy? But I got merc'd for that r-word related to Hemingway.
But before that, that black chick (my same age, actually), found ME. Not the other way around. And she wanted to discuss Faulkner, deeply. Helluva connection really.
That Hemingway forum sounds like a bunch of rimjobs [Reply]

There's obviously more to the story, but let's all overreact to it now!!
GOD I HATE THE SOONERS!!
These backwater hillbillies will do anything to cry white genocide.
Some seriously hilarious braindead sheep on here. [Reply]

Okay that's all I got for today. I'll go away from this thread now.

One of the worst takes I’ve read on this board. First off Lincoln offered Gundy a job at USC, he chose to stay. Things were a mess for the last 3 or 4 weeks in Norman at the end of last season. Venables has done a lot to clean it up, and the newly rehired strength and conditioning coach has done a lot as well.
July might have been the best month recruiting that OU has ever had and the momentum is continuing into August. Getting position coaches on D that actually played/know the position has also be huge in Norman. And then add things like a nutrition expert, actual chef for the team, and the SOUL squad and things look better at OU than they have since the mid 2000’s. [Reply]

Not if you're a rimjob. You know why? Rimjobs don't have jobs. They just sit on the porch all day and do rimjob things. [Reply]

This is where I stand on it as well.... If you want an out, you quit. You don't say ok time to drop the N word so I can resign in shame from my prolific long career.
If dude was there as long as they say he was, no one would have batted an eye if he just decided to quit. Too much respect. [Reply]

:-):-), they are lucky they are not playing in the SEC this year. Gundy wanted out and the new chef had nothing to do with it. This will not be another big 12 championship year for the gooners. Can’t wait for them and the shorthorns to get bent over yearly by bama. I never dreamt I would root for bama, good times, good times :-) [Reply]
