The first ever OILERMAN INVITATIONAL DEATH POOL concludes on September 11th 2024. A new pool will commence on that date. This is a call for submissions. Congratulations to ME for winning the 23-24 pool. My experience in the Death Pool was a year one competitive advantage--one that will be erased this season based on the awesome submissions I have received. Nevertheless, I humbly accept bragging rights as the board's first resident deathstradamous. Please review below, as I have amended the rules to make this easier to keep up with. I am running this for free, and want to do less math. In order to participate, you will need to send me a list of 20 people you think will die over the next year via DM (please do not post here). All names you submit must have a wikipedia page (named after them). You can "double dip" by submitting names that were on your previous Death Pool entry. Should someone die that is on both of your lists in the August submission period, you will have a two week grace period to submit a substitution name. All lists will be finalized as of Sept. 11. 2024. The pool will run from 11:59pm Sept. 11 2024 to Sept. 11. 2025. Once submissions are closed, I will share a spreadsheet with all entries so that we all can see (and laugh at) the selections. As a reminder, scoring will be as follows: 1 point for each person that dies on your list. 1 additional point for: a former Titans or Titansreport member confirmed dead. Tiebreakers (I will consider these factors equally to judge quality of a given list in the event of a tie): person being 75 or under person being unique to your list person dying of non-natural causes (like murder, accidental death, etc.) Steve McNair bonus: person dies on a major US holiday This is not for money, but bragging rights, laughs, and to add to the all around dark nature of this board by letting us all gamble on death. I will be monitoring the list as best I can and will do research from time to time to check on the status of your list, but by participating you agree to at least ping me if you notice one of your people die. As a reminder, please PM me your entry and do not post it publicly. Let the games begin! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_XDVgJ_70s9xnKphEWDqSbG5oHnaIDJ0W75MPEX0HaM/edit?usp=sharing

Ok, LOL!! FOTFLMAO!! Okay. Okay. Enough with the hah, hah, hah. It has gone to absolute shit. I have Gmail, Yahoo and a couple of others. But I use AOL. Had it since I got my first computer. Anyway, shit is getting somewhat frustrating. I'm buying a new computer and want to take all my shit. Plus, I'm an Apple guy, phone, pods, watch, ear buds, connectors-scratch that, they change them connectors so none of the old one$ work. How do you geniuses think I should go about getting all this shit toted to my new computer? First thing--I am going to Safari password saver and delete all the passwords they have saved that I don't use. A gazillion. This is tough. [email protected] has been swinging nearly thirty years. I have to update.

The Boroughs is a new release from the Strangers Things creators. The cast members are Seniors Citizens. I felt it was too 'old peopleish' for me, but by the 3rd episode I started to enjoy it. A Stranger Things mystery at a slower pace. This bunch doesn't ride bicycles.

The filing shows that, among market-cap milestones, SpaceX will have to establish a "permanent human colony on Mars with at least one million inhabitants" for Musk to access the package. https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-s1-filing-ipo-prospectus-revelations-2026-5 Other interesting aspects: Space launch operations are a small part of the company, like 15% small. A little under half of it is AI server farms, and about a third is the cash-cow Starlink communication system but its cash generation is being used, plus debt, to fuel AI servers. So it is not a space stock but will waste capital trying to compete with an inferior, so far, AI product, then skip the hyper growth of lunar missions to concentrate on putting a million people on Mars. In other words, a beyond batshit crazy waste of resources.

I have a friend who lives overseas but is writing a book about an American singer. The character has some money but hasn't quite made it big yet and the writer is looking for a suggestion of what car they might be driving. I was told my suggestion of a Toyota Camry is too basic. So I'm boring and useless.

Next Green Hills episode.

Still trying to figure out exactly what the fuck is going on but he's throwing absolute haymakers in this lawsuit beef with police. The Randy Walters song is an absolute earworm and those other "songs" are absolutely chock full of accusations. It's wild as hell and I could not be more entertained.

You can check out recent stock transactions of members of Congress. https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy Pelosi-P000197 Some on Reddit WallStreetBets Discord often talk about Nancy Pelosi's portfolio killing it. What is funny is if you check out some known MAGA names like Sen. Cruz, or Rep. Greene, you will find they are buying boring things like Home Depot that do not do squat, and are in small sizes like $1 to $5K while Pelosi is putting 100s of thousands to millions in cutting edge high beta stocks about which you likely never heard, and she even buys options in larger sizes than their stock transactions. So when you hear about MAGA owning the libs, if you trade like Pelosi, you can just chuckle knowing MAGA cant cash those checks.

What a choke job by Vrabel. Can't believe there isn't a thread about it.

Tell everybody what you’re using it for to try to convince the message board communities that you inhabit all day and night that you’re not a fucking card carrying RETARD.

I lived in a house with a phone that was a wooden box on the wall. You turned the ringer and the operator would answer. WTFDYW?? You tell her what number you wanted and she would call it. I never got to use it, grown folks thing. I would have had to stand in a chair anyway. In our city home, we had a dial phone. New things came along. My highly intelligent mother never figured out how to use the VCR. We got a computer. My son would get on it and punch those F keys. Yikes!! I started to stop him because I figured he would mess the computer up. Something told me, 'don't do that'. Now, he a software engineer using Python. Along came AI. I said, well that's it for me. I'm not going to innovate. Nope. Then I needed something done and someone told me to do it using AI. It wasn't difficult. Tonight, I needed a page with columns. Names, numbers, other information. Shit. I wish I knew how to make columns. Let alone how to set them up in Pages. I opened AI and said, bitch make me a sheet with... Seven minutes later, I was typing onto it! I'm still in the game!

Just feel like this has a place here somewhere.

Just finished season 4 of Shoresy on Hulu and it is easily my favorite sports TV show of all time. Hilarious, uplifting, profane and bloody all wrapped up into one heartfelt badass show about senior league whale shit northern Ontario hockey. Hot chicks, brutal hockey fights, more momma jokes than you can shake a stick at, and characters you love more and more with every season. As they say in the show… Hell Yeah Fuck yeah 4 seasons. 6 episodes each. 20 minute episodes. Watch it

I was reading about how Trump ordered the US Treasury to stop minting new pennies because they cost 3.7 cents to make and thus the government loses money every time it makes a penny. I came across some stats that said it also costs 14 cents to make a nickel. Last year, the U.S. Mint lost $85 million making pennies and $18 million minting nickels. Funny and crazy LOL

Here are some classic pictures from TC/TR history. I think we should make a top 10 list. Post/nominate others but only if they are worthy!
