  1. Past hour
  2. I blame my folks for muckin’ up my surname, leavin’ me with a handle that don’t quite fit. My daddy was a tireless, self-made barbecue pitmaster from Austin with a touch of narcolepsy and a fondness for ropin’ steer. My mama was a sixteen-year-old saloon dancer from San Antonio named Callie with boots that could kick up a dust storm. My daddy would chase skirts, he’d knock back whiskey, and he’d spin tall tales like he invented the lasso. Sometimes he’d call pecans lazy, the kind of low-down grumblin’ only a genius or a madman would mutter. My childhood was pure Texas, summers in the valley, ridin’ broncs. In the spring, we’d craft leather chaps. When I was ornery, they’d stuff me in a feed sack and whack me with mesquite branches—pretty standard, really. At twelve, I got my first Bowie knife. At fourteen, a cowgirl named Wanda ceremonially polished my spurs till they gleamed like a West Texas sunset. Ain’t nothin’ like a pair of shinin’ spurs, it’s downright glorious—y’all gotta try it. still, comin’ up with an avatar and name was never my milieu.
  3. Leprechaun did a number on me when he put his face in the lawnmower
  4. Agreed
  5. Only people who, unlike you, are smart enough to know octopus is not a second declension noun.
  6. That scene where the organ starts playing by itself? Comedy my ass.
  7. Probably worth pointing out that her petition for certiorari, the main brief, was filed April 10. The government delayed responding until July, making that, her REPLY brief due two weeks later, or today.
  8. I read this thread you know I do lol. Sorry I didn’t see it with the 60 diff topics. Lol
  9. As a 7 year old in 1966, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken scared the heck out of me.

  11. If I could give you all the reps, I would, that deserves the hookem, the heart, the laugh, the drool, maybe even the fuck around and find out. What I will give you is the final report of defector for the Tour because yesterday was a damn thing of beauty. https://defector.com/the-tour-de-frances-new-hardcore-paris-finale-was-one-for-the-ages?giftLink=b1c29dafdf8a4e56125828fc0bd513ae
  12. Those far exurbs are still rurals at heart
  13. I didn't think we'd let this kid commit, and I was happy thinking we'd moved on. But now that Browne has reopened a recruitment I never even knew was closed, I'm offended.
  14. It was ignored because it happened weeks ago on his OV and was obvious to anyone who half reads this thread
  15. And it was posted first yesterday, and discussed then. There's jack shit happening today.
  16. All the train/station/portal shit in volume 3 is getting on my last nerve. I still like the story arc and the characters, but that plot device is an absolute beating and I don't think very well written or explained.
  17. My first thought is this is bs just like the OpenAI/Softbank investment announcement. Let's see the money flow.
