You’re describing “nostalgia” and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that but think about your age at the time. I’m a decade older than you and for me, I’ll take the 80’s. But that’s my paradigm. It’s easy to romanticize your childhood and teenage years if you had a relatively good life.10 points

I’ve wondered how the Republicans on this board can accept that such an important part of their lives is so aggy. I mean, we’ve already pretty well established that TexAgs is one of the largest collection of stumblefucks on the interwebs. It takes some serious mental gymnastics to think, “those nut-squeezing mouthbreathers are dipshits through and through, but man, they have some really good insights into politics and policy.”8 points

It means morons whose attention spans render them incapable of considering the Conservaverse's historical batting average when it comes to the carpet bombing of accusations parlayed into indictments/pleas/convictions are always ready to give the Birther-In-Chief a fresh new benefit of a doubt when he feels something nefarious is afoot. In this particular case, the Conservaverse and their Mendoza line aspirations are trying to manufacture outrage by claiming a campaign and administration, already rife with indictments, pleas, and convictions, should be able to hide and lie about their business and financial dealings with their foreign criminal cartel business partners free from the prying eyes of the intelligence community whom was aleady invesigating said criminal cartel's efforts to subvert our democratic institutions before presidential campaign was even announced. Intelligence community shouldn't do that, mmmkay. That would be bad.5 points

Look closely at this Google Map image of central Austin: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.3056644,-97.7481265,388m/data=!3m1!1e3 In the center of it, you will see a thin band of green trees surrounded by parking lots, hospitals, and 38th street. If you look even more closely, you'll see the Seiders spring. Every day, thousands of people pass by or work near this small band of oaks ---- known as the Seiders Oaks ----- along Shoal Creek, oblivious to their history. Shortly after construction of the new capital city at Austin began in 1839, Gideon White moved his family to the new settlement and built a log cabin near a fine spring on Shoal Creek. While passing through this live oak grove, less than a quarter mile from his cabin in the spring of 1842, White was set upon by a band of mounted Indians. He fought valiantly from behind one of the large live oaks and killed at least one of his attackers before being killed himself. The marks of a number of arrows and bullets which hit the tree were visible for many years. White was one of several residents of the Austin area who were massacred by the Indians that year. Four years after his death, White's daughter, Louisa Maria, married Edward Seiders, who was then engaged in the livery and grocery businesses in Austin. For a time they lived in her father's cabin at the springs, which became known as Seiders Springs, and the nearby oak grove as Seiders Oaks. That oak grove is what you're looking at in the above Google Map image. After the election of 1850, when Austin was again selected as the seat of government, the capital's growth increased. The Seiders family was among Austin's new residents that year. In 1865, General George Custer and his men camped under these same sheltering live oaks at Seiders Springs. That's right: Custer himself camped underneath the trees just south of 38th street in central Austin. By the 1870s, Seiders Springs had become a popular recreation spot. Seiders erected bath houses, picnic tables, and a dance pavilion at the Springs which bore his name. He even provided for his patrons a means of transportation to and from town. The Seiders Oaks are located at Seiders Springs, now a pleasant city park along Shoal Creek, between 34th and 38th Streets, in Austin. Every day, folks picnic among them or take a short stroll, oblivious to their astounding history.5 points

The President of the United States just misspelled a word directly in front of the term "low IQ." We're just jerking off into an old sock at this point. Elect Joey Buttafuoco next because he got some pussy once and let his vice president be Cool Ranch Doritos. Might as well open some of these positions up for marketing sponsorships and make some cash before it's all over. Let it just naturally trail off to where eventually an opened can of Monster Energy Drink is the president. The VP can be measles at that point. Pass the torch.4 points

Other than the fact that when he was hired by the CFL team, they literally turned around and fired him a few days later solely due to the “peppering of angry emails from 45 year old single fat women”, you might be right.4 points

No, I actually don't wonder why it hasn't been overrun, because I know why it hasn't been and will never be overrun by that crowd. It's because over the past 15 years or so, in one form or another, under one domain name or another, we have been dealing with trolls who are worse than any Qanon or Trumpkin idiots. These trolls have a name. We call them aggy. And while aggy has fully embraced Qanon and Trump, they are far worse than any typical non-saggy Qanon or Trumpkin, because they suffer from the biggest case of Little Brother Syndrome that has ever been witnessed in the past 3,000 years of recorded history. They have fucking songs about us, that they sing while squeezing their nuts and dreaming of jizzing in a jar, so they can put it on top of a rickety pile of wood. When you've been exposed to aggy like we have, your non-aggy Qanons and Trumpkins come across as temporary specks on the windshield of life. Trumpkins will fade into the woodwork when he's gone, and Qanon is already cracking under the realization that many of the "leaders" of the leaderless Qanon are just using Qanon to make some easy money. But aggy is proving to be eternal. Those fuckers live on pork rinds, Dixie Chicken, and the notion that by riding Alabama's cock, they are somehow better than us, but they will never overrun us, no matter how many dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, they spam the shit out of whatever forum we follow.4 points

My father died from dementia. I never knew how bad it was until we put him in memory care. I guess he could fake it when he came to our house like he knew us and where he was. One day in the memory care unit we passed in the hall and you could tell we were complete strangers to him. I don't want to put my wife through that.3 points

Ouch. Thamel with the roast Congratulations to the administrators in Mount Vernon, Texas, for cratering to new depths in the American education system. High school officials in Mount Vernon hit a trifecta of incompetence, ignorance and arrogance on Friday night. They started by hiring Art Briles, the completely toxic former coach at Baylor to be the football coach at Mount Vernon High School. The same Art Briles that couldn’t find gainful employment in America since 2016, when he was fired in disgrace at Baylor. Mount Vernon officials stooped even lower by announcing this hiring late Friday afternoon before Memorial Day Weekend, an age-old publicity avoidance ploy that reinforced what common sense clearly told them — this is an embarrassing decision that needs to hidden. The final salvo in their tour-de-force of overt lack of self-awareness came from the public relations official who allowed this quote from Briles to run in the press release: “You’ll make no bigger impact in this world than when you shape the lives of young people.” In one artless and tactless swoop, Mount Vernon solidified itself as the new moral basement for high schools around the country. It has willingly brought in Art Briles, who ran a program at Baylor that had a stunning amount of sexual violence tied to its football team. And with it, tiny Mount Vernon has become the latest and most glaring example of how winning trumps ethics and an eternal reminder that the glare of Friday Night Lights can blind adults from acting in the best interest of children. How bad was Baylor under Briles? One of the lawsuits to come from his tenure — and there were plenty — alleged there were 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, during a four-year period while Briles was the coach. Those numbers were never independently verified, but anyone who has been awake the past decade would come to the conclusion that Briles recruited a roster filled with vile humans and did little to curtail their behavior or set a culture that did anything close to respect women. Another report listed 19 players involved in 17 instances of sexual or domestic assault and four gang rapes. The numbers are awful any way you cut it, and they still fail to quantify the haunting pain, anger and anguish that lingers with all the women whose lives were indelibly altered by players that Art Briles brought to Baylor. He helped shape many lives. Yes he did. Google Tevin Elliot, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2014 after being found guilty of two counts of sexual assault. He was recruited and brought to Baylor by Art Briles. Google Sam Ukwuachu, who transferred to Baylor from Boise State. He was convicted of sexual assault of a Baylor soccer player in August of 2015. Art Briles brought him to Baylor, too. Google Shamycheal Chatman.Google Tre’Von Armstead. Google Shawn Oakman. (He was recently acquitted of rape, but google him anyway to see if Briles should have recruited him.)There’s sickening allegation after sickening allegation, so many lives shaped so horribly. If the googling isn’t convincing enough, you can read the book about Briles’ tenure at Baylor: Violated: Exposing Rape at Baylor University amid College Football’s Sexual Assault Crisis. The book doesn’t pin all the issues at Baylor on Briles, but a USA Today review sums it up this way: “Any potential employer that reads Violated will come away with the impression of a coach whose program invited dangerous characters onto campus with little or no vetting, didn’t have a drug-testing program and allowed a culture of invincibility to grow with regard to conduct.” Well, almost any. There’s a small faction of Baylor truthers who’ll point out that Briles was never fired from Baylor for cause, as the school has reportedly paid him more than $15.1 million. And they’ll point to administrators, board members, police and anyone else but St. Art as the root of the chronic dysfunction and sexual assault at Baylor. And if those are the people that Mount Vernon administrators like superintendent Jason McCullough listened to, it sounds like they selectively searched for the parts about full stadiums, 60-point offensive performances and roaring crowds. “The bottom line is that when a school takes on someone like that, they’re taking on a giant risk,” said Kathy Redmond, the founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes. “It says a lot about the school being insulated.” Briles supporters will also point out that he was a successful high school coach in Texas before going to college. (But this Deadspin report alleges that Briles’ players had issues with sexual assault back then as well, and it paints a convincing portrait of his ambivalence toward that behavior.) The people and students of Mount Vernon have a clear choice that started the moment their administrators tried to news-dump Briles into their lives on Friday night. It took just 12 hours for the Canadian Football League’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats to capitulate amid a public outcry when the team attempted to hire Briles as an offensive assistant in 2017. Sponsors threatened to pull their ads. Prominent Canadians complained. He was gone before the news cycle could end. The people of Mount Vernon have been given an opportunity to actually shape the lives of the young people there. They can petition the school board, picket the superintendent’s office and scream into every microphone put in front of them. (And if Briles does arrive, the school and town should be ready to live under a microscope and amid many microphones.) Are the female students offended? Do the parents of the players find Briles’ history unseemly? Do the teachers find this counter-intuitive to the values that should be taught? If the answer is “no” to those, they should be prepared to say it over and over into cameras and microphones. The people and students in Mount Vernon can still prevent their town’s reputation from careening toward some B-list Friday Night Lights caricature, as perhaps they can teach the alleged educators something about shaping the lives of young people.

Even if it isn't a deliberate attempt to "tar the other side," it appears that at least minor scholars and journalists are a little too anxious to prove their points and cut historical or evidentiary corners to do so.3 points

It's fine if you prefer Davis Market or Vencil's - we understand that not everyone can afford the quality meats that are served every day at Louie Mueller. Keep in mind that our prices reflect three generations of Barbecue tradition yet we are still competitive with or even cheaper than other highly rated establishments. When dining on a fine cuisine such as Texas Barbecue, you will generally get what you pay for - so while the "3 meat plate" somewhere else might come cheaper, you will not get the full Texas Barbecue experience and miss out on the satisfaction and excellence provided at the legendary, highly regarded establishment that is Louie Mueller Barbecue. Maybe work a little bit harder for your next paycheck and come back and see us when you can afford it so you can open your eyes to the difference.
