- If they pass their bill today and get it reconciled, the GOP ain't going to be winning 2020. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:25 1

      - Ryan comes before Hatch. -- nm - pmb Dec 1, 11:32 1

Jimbo Fisher leaves Florida State, expected to sign with Texas A&M later this afternoon. -- nm - David Dec 1, 10:45 16
- LOL -- nm - MDH Dec 1, 10:56
- I can't understand why A&M is a better job -- nm - prayformojo Dec 1, 10:56 2
  - See below. The jobs are about the same in that FSU has a better reputation while A&M has more resources. It's not a football choice, though. -- nm - David Dec 1, 10:58 1
    - Wow. I wasn't aware of any of that. -- nm - prayformojo Dec 1, 11:03

      - It was fun. It usually happens at Home Despot when we're buying a tree. - Diva Dec 1, 10:40 1
        
        I fear the gas stations now. They often are playing christmas music. I literally hid in my car at times last year -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 1, 10:41

- Dump truck. Even if you have the back hoe, more than one dump truck is still cool -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 1, 10:15 1
  - Yup. While having more than one back hoe is not as cool -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 10:19
- dump truck -- nm - Beaker Dec 1, 10:12

Amazon's delivery vans have started taking pictures of where they left the package if you're not home. - spamlet Dec 1, 10:01 2
- Less creepy than having a key to the door. Could also result in some really funny mistake pictures. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 10:12 1
