  1. Most Austin cool band name lineup ever:
    Opener:  ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
    2nd Opener: I Love You, But I've Chosen Darkness
    Headliner:  Servant Girl Annihilator 
     
    FYI:2 FBI special agents did show up to help investigate but haven't been heard from in a long time.  In totally unrelated news, Nicole was seen walking back uptown, flicked a cigarette, and said, "I guess we're gonna need some more FBI guys..."

  2. Arguably the most famous U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which is arguably the most prominent post of all the U.S. Attorneys.  And he just publicly proclaimed that "Ignorance of the law is in fact, a legitimate defense."  And he said it about a man running for President at the time.  And you can hear in his voice, that was excited to say it to a crowd and camera.  
    At some point, after Trump dies, and we're all tripping our asses off on LSD...we need to compile a list of courses offered that will unpack all of this shit one day at Covfefe University.  I mean, Rudy basically just turned everything we know about the U.S. Code on its head, and somebody like him should know better.  
    They still make quality LSD? I'm maybe ready to punch that dance card just one more time.

    You know he no longer travels but he's still pretty spry
    He's not much on talk and he's just too mean to die

    I guess Trump only has one thing in common with Uncle Slaton, well two, he's cool with amphetamines.

  4. And regarding all the various styles of fishing mentioned on this thread recently, write me in as a fan of ALL of it. Offshore trolling, deep dropping, snapper fishing meat hauls, swording, bay fishing, trophy trout, putting kids on a limit of reds, catching ladyfish and Jacks, running trotlines for catfish on a river, dock trout under the lights, fly fishing in all it's forms including lowly guad stocked fish and wild fish way up in the mountains. Tenkara on small waters. Rainbows, Browns, Brookies, and Cuts. Salmon, freaking jigging for Halibut. From flying gaffs to fish the size of my hand- I love it all, and I learn everyday and I always leave a trip with something else I want to try the next time and with part of my soul repaired.

    Guad Report. Put my son and another new angler on em this am; both caught around 4-5 up to 18-20. The bigger fish put it on em. I had around 15 , but mostly guided them. I definitely got the adreline shakes on the two bigger fish I netted because I wanted them to land those fish so bad, especially after my son broke off a pig early and lost a second one on sloppy technique. It was more fun by far than if I had the rod in my hand. I could have probably landed 40 fish if solo. Got hot, and it shut down. Low crowds, great Sunday! Love having that fishery so close. Still no luck with the mouse pattern; need to leave earlier. 645 was too late. Fish mostly wanted small Grey and brown nymphs like Stone flys, pheaseants, Rs2s etc. Very few rises on various dries. Streamers didn't produce. Carp the size of schoolbuses were spawning shallow. Kinda cool. Deer, Eagle, Turkey.

  5. Back to reality for us poors.

    My dad’s brothers kid was in town for his parents’ 60th anniversary party. Last night at around cake cutting time looked at him and said “pick you up at 5am? I know all your tackle is back home but I got you covered.”

    So I did spend the remainder of the evening re-spooling 6 reels and gearing up.

    Moon and tide was all wrong, wind howling straight up the ship channel so we retreated to the LA marsh which you know I love dearly.

    Got into a pod of 28”-34” reds up in a duck lake and had a ball. Then from 30 feet away this 7 footer chases down my cousin’s cork and eats the hook. I cut the line about 5’ above the first knot.

    I’ve been fishing for 48 years and I’ve never encountered a more aggressive gator. He sat right by the Boat for a half hour like my dog begging for scraps. He wouldn’t shoo, was probably a she. Maybe defending her nest? Seriously freaked me out.
    They've always been around, but man they have gotten more frequent and problematic. Give em the rivers and upper deltas, once they get in the bay and get aggressive, I'm all for someone letting one slip from thier pistol.*
    I don't carry on the water, so if you cut off my wade my only recourse is a topwater to your face.
    But fuck gators. I'm cool enough with sharks; it's their home. And they don't lay on the bottom waiting to ambush mammals.
  6. Oh man.  Maga MIL this weekend basically did this.  I forget exactly what the topic was, but something about people not being able to afford $250 for something.
    "Who on earth doesn't have access to $250!?!?!"
    As she sits in her multi-million dollar mansion.  Unreal.
    I see why you politely deal with thier shit now.

    That's correct, the clowns that posted all over social media that they were going to overthrow the government and hang various members of congress; then live streamed thier treasonous crimes, then bragged about it later were Totally set up. It's not like we can't look back at Thier post for any damning evidence or trust our lying eyes despite all the video They posted of themselves criming.

  8. She’s almost certainly doing less damage as a rep than as mayor. That was a huge bullet dodged.
    She’s embarrassing and she’s hell on her staff but as a voting member is pretty much doing what she got sent there to do. Long term incumbents with marginal ambitions are rarely the worst problems in the House. 
    She's an outlier that gives great fodder to the right to paint all Dems with a broad brush of stupidity with plenty of racism thrown in the narrative. My parents loved clowning on her, and with good reason. But it was fueled by Rush aligning her with all of his welfare queen bullshit. Tricky because, again she is terrible, enables terrible critics and racist fuckheads. They aren't wrong in the criticism but the methodology is gross.
  9. If only there were some association with broadly published standards pertaining to competence and professional behavior that could sanction or otherwise deter sudden attacks of professional incompetence that just happens to afflict the counsels of the rich and powerful when sand in the gears suits their interest.
    If I didn't know better I'd think there was some kind of inherent bias inside the legal system in favor of the rich and powerful at work here, but "never ascribe to wagon circling which is adequately explained by denial"

    Kenneth Paxton and the entire Trump Lawyer Parade of assholes say hi; not sure the Bar has done shit. Yes I know 8 years is unreseasonbly aggressive for a timeline to process justice...
  10. Last one was like round four by my count. 
    It's been weird, parts of neighborhoods have zero damage, but I also have tons of cracked windows and multiple roofs damaged a few blocks away. Mostly central Lakeway/ 34. . Bee Cave is mostly fine so far.
    Crestview is another matter. Legit car and roof damage and 1.5" hail smashing shit.

    I hate dealing with insurance companies.
