Do you guys offer a refugee camp for fellow Texans who are fleeing in despair from their maniacal, narcissistic owner?

Welcome, my Texas brother. Our owner is a racist, sexist, clueless old man, so not like it's much better here.

@Matts4313 found refuge in the Eagles forum, I think. If this forum turns out to be less than what you're liking, there's always the Iggles...ha!

Right now I hate everything that has to do with the Cowboys. I am about to burn my entire condo down just to make sure all Cowboys memorabilia are in ashes. 

 

But at least we arent the Giants.

The Giants are at least willing to make changes. And they 2 SBs because of it. They're down right now below us true. But at least we know they can make a major swing upward.

First two dont bother me cause I expect everyone in his kind of position to have dark secrets or a hidden agenda or what not. I mean all 32 NFL owners dont have a problem accepting money from the government to show off their "patriotism". So yeaaaaa not a fan of any of them. 

But clueless does bother me. H/e at least you guys have shown the ability to get something done and for all my years following the Texans it doesn't feel like I'm living Groundhog's Day like I do supporting Jerry's team.

The new format takes some getting used to, but you'll grow to like it - it's pretty cool!

Good to have you back, Randy!

This is seriously the coolest thing in this intro thread. So, if I need someone killed... could I call you for some ninja work?

(J/K, figured this is American Ninja Warrior related)

Welcome to the forum! xD

Thanks! And yep, that's exactly what it is. ANW is the highest level of Ninja Athletics, kind of like the NFL. There are smaller competitions all over the US on basically a monthly to weekly basis, depending on how far you're willing to travel. In AZ, I was doing events every couple weeks. In Tennessee, local competitions were more like an every couple months type thing, so I traveled to the Nashville area once a month to do more.

I had no idea there was layers to this! One of my old co-workers knew Sam Sann in Houston - he's a hairdresser when he's not a Ninja warrior, and she goes to him.

Would love to hear about the next time you head out to another competition!

This sounds really cool, actually - I'm a klutz when it comes to labor of this nature, so anyone who can do stuff like this has a pretty special talent in my book.
