  1. This. Jeez, OJ was a human being too.
  2. Commute to where? Downtown? It’s probably faster than it was in 1979 with several more lanes in use. I commuted to downtown from Campbell-I-10 from 2004-2015 and it was about 15 minutes each way unless there was a wreck. Wilcrest would add 5 minutes or so. Of course, being Houston, a wreck or something unusual could add 5-15 minutes any given day, but I could generally count on sitting at my desk 18 minutes after I left my house in Spring Valley. On a good day I could be home in 13 minutes.
  3. Ben-Hur (1959) last night for maybe the 20th time.
  4. Exactly. Hell, the guns should not even have a firing pin. edit: I suppose they would need a firing pin to shoot the blanks. But not sure how that works.
  5. This. Lake Travis goes up and down--that's what it does. https://www.golaketravis.com/waterlevel/ We can look at the data in many ways depending on your outlook and agenda. The very current trend doesn't look good. Looking at the 10 highest levels ever, 8 of the highest levels have occurred since December 1991. Looking at the lowest 10 levels ever, 6 of the lowest levels have occurred in that time. If you look at 2010 to the present, two of the highest levels ever have occurred in that time, while three of the lowest levels ever have occurred since 2010.
  6. Not familiar with Riverbend but I used to play Westwood several times a year and I liked it.
  7. IIRC, he got over $300k annually from his NFL pension. Creditors cannot get to it. But they took the rest.
  8. This. And the judge was horrible. No way that case needed 11 months to try. He would hold a separate hearing to determine whether he needed to have a hearing.
  9. I can’t imagine going a day without a bowel movement, but I’m 61 and I’ve never been constipated.
  10. Well, some people just hate Bibi.
  11. One of the pluses to staying/fishing at Hackberry Lodge south of Lake Charles is the fresh shrimp they sell at the lodge. I’m sure other lodges in Louisiana sell shrimp as well. They said the shrimp were not from the large commercial shrimpers that stay offshore for a week or so at a time and flash freeze the shrimp, but from local bay shrimpers. Either way, the shrimp are fantastic. When I used to go offshore on chartered trips from Freeport a favorite thing was to trade a case or two of beer for a sack of shrimp from the offshore shrimpers. Not sure if that shrimp was ever frozen but it was fantastic. I agree with the OP-never buy farm raised shrimp.
  12. This 100%. Loved Letterman in the 80’s. Carson is still the GOAT.

    Steely Dan

    Shitty beer? Schlitz beer until around 1978 or so was fantastic. They fucked with the recipe, and had some terrible ads, and it basically died. I don’t remember the Steely Dan ad.
