  1. I'm not sure exactly what this means -- are they expecting Lake Buchanan to absorb all of the floodwater from upstream (San Saba River -> Colorado River)?
  2. OK, I'm not there but my daughter is. The first show of their Euro tour is at a festival in eastern France. Iron Maiden is the headliner. I love this bus:
  3. The San Saba River is forecasted to peak at 32.4 feet, another 17+ feet above its current level. Christ, this is feeling like the Blanco River flood from 10 years ago.
  4. What time did you get there? I specifically want the lamb chops, at least for my wife. How big are they?
  5. What's the expectation as this thing crawls east towards the Austin metro area? The new kid on KXAN is not exactly Spencer or Yeomans.
  6. Dang. I think I know where I'm getting dinner.
  7. Mack Brown @ Texas: 10 bowl wins in 16 seasons Texas A&M 1990-2025: 10 bowl wins in 35 seasons, 10 coaches (including 4 interim head coaches)
  8. You and me both.
  9. Good news, you now have listeria. Really good news: your chances of survival are as high as 80%. FDA sets blueberry risk to highest level due to listeria outbreak
  10. This is the biggest backswing I've found in a brief search. They are shameless.
  11. Holy crap. Brandi on vocals, Sheryl on piano, and I'm not sure they made even the tiniest flub. Honestly I never really got the depth of this song until now, Bonnie's version was much glossier.
  12. Didn't see that one coming.
  13. Not sure I played that one. I did spend a lot of time and money on this legend:
  14. That one isn't.
  15. Do you have a point?
  16. That's where we differ -- I don't see that statement as anything but all-encompassing. Broad brushes piss me off.
  17. It's almost as if y'all have never heard the term "sleeping giant".
  18. I could never master Defender. We had a few savants who could play that damn game for hours on one quarter. I was mostly a Galaga and Moon Patrol guy. The latter was a really dumb game but I loved playing it.
  19. You were the one who implied all liberals are scared of Muslims. Maybe go take a writing course at some school other than Texas Tech. By the way, those anecdotes included growing up around dozens of Muslims my family would host when they came to the US to attend the engineering school my dad taught at. They would break bread with us, stay with us, obviously take courses from my father, etc. I learned about Lebanon, Iraq, Iran etc. in a very real manner, and without question my family was not an outlier. It was a very common thing for university employees to bring those immigrant students into their households (as well as students from other parts of the world, primarily Asia). So MY experience is that you're full of shit.
  20. Thanks, Dad. I'm comfortable in my skin and I cannot think of one person in my circle who is scared of Muslims. Quite a few in that circle are Muslims themselves. This is obviously a white knight issue for you but you are flat fucking wrong to paint with that broad brush.
  21. Nobody ever claimed the "left of center" voting block is homogeneous. There are always outliers. To imply that all liberals are scared of Muslims is fucking ridiculous, full stop.
  22. So you're scared of Muslims?
  23. That's exactly what I was thinking, except a kettle grill as the bigger chamber. Thanks!
  24. Here we go again. Can explain this perverse falsehood you push every chance you get?
  25. He injured his knee on August 6. By your analysis, he could be expected back by Ohio State.
