    This threas changed my life
  2. Well, technically speaking, it is a tumah. Only, Damn, BV, get better. Was your blood pressure through the roof? [And that's an MR, not a CT, dammit.]
  3. I also confess to an inexplicable weakness for all of the pizza flavored Goldfish.
  4. Green Day is an automatic channel changer for me, unless I'm having a shitty day and want to groom and give focus to my state of offended surliness. On a similar but more recent note, critic darlings the War on Drugs. It's like a modern recycling of the cheesiest over-produced 80s phases of several of the above mentioned (Dead, Springsteen, whatever.). Quit with the glockenspiel already.
  5. Just reread The Talisman recently and had the same thought. The advent of the longer-form series brings a lot of great books into play -- I wish they would go back and give World War Z the proper treatment, it's perfect for that. I say I'd love Blood Meridian too, but like A Confederacy of Dunces, the only thing it could do would be to disappoint. It would be fun to see someone creative with a take on The Phantom Tollbooth these days. Just not Tim Burton.
  6. Ordered the Meade as well as the HA Rey book, we'll see how it goes. Decided against the wifi adapter to connect to the phone/tablet. I may add it in the future, but it occurred to me that paying another $200 for another screen to distract him kinda undermines the point of this whole thing. Thanks, y'all.
  7. My 11yo is asking for a telescope for Christmas, and this stuff is outside of my experience. Do the Celestron that Thujone linked or the Meade from Armybrat seem like reasonable places to start? Thujone, does the control app you were talking about require the wifi module? Is there anything like that for the Meade which would make the initial learning curve less steep? Also, it looks like the Meade uses GPS to align automatically, correct? I suppose that would be one less step than the Celestron, but is it that big a deal? Anyone ever try the Celestron smartphone adapter, and would that work for either of these? It would be fun for him to snap some basic pictures without the complexity of full-on astrophotography. Just trying to figure out if one of these is better than the other for a kid starting out, and which will reward his curiosity rather than crush it. Or if there are any other recommendations, I'd love to hear them.
  8. Or donates it to Women Called Moses in honor dishonor of Zach and Joe Mixon.
  9. Shoulder looks good.
  10. Well, if she was really his sister, then ztejas.
  11. It was an endowment from Stoops. Just not very well-endowed.
  12. Agreed, it can't be denied that Murray is an incredibly talented, explosive threat. The best way to neutralize that is by turning him into a petulant bitch pouting on the sideline, which just so happens to be something in which we have previously demonstrated competency. TTL, P.
  13. Yes. Yes I did.
  14. And his wee, beady eyes.
  15. I'm not sure he can be folded in half without collapsing into a singularity or some other kind of hardon-collider shit going down.
  16. Fuck that frontrunning bitch Murray. Fuck this piece of shit conference. Fuck OU.
  17. Stout and Fuller's ESB clone were well received at Thanksgiving. I think the 8.5% stout helped cover my cooking flaws, another unexpected benefit. Still experimenting with carbonation balance, but it's been nice to be able to cheat with Perlick creamer faucets. Am I right to think that head retention and lacing will improve when I graduate to all-grain? Because so far neither are as good as your mom's.
  18. First time I'd had the chance to brine and spatchcock. Will definitely continue to do so, got rave reviews. Hullabrine FTW.
  19. Spatchcockmonglers: Brining at present. Do I spatch before I let it dry in the fridge overnight, or spatch just prior to cooking? Surely this has been argued over at some point.
  20. Had the official family viewing last night. I treasure that moment every year. "To the wives!"
  21. To be a dog owner is to own a dog. Do what you love, and share that love with your pup. He's white as a Ghost, looks like a Ship(ley) to me . [emoji869]
  22. The noob should never pipe up, but... I've had my first stout on at 11 like the charts say, but in sampling it before its intended Thanksgiving purpose, I'm going up to 13 or so to see how that works. But I'm trying to cover for a lot of flaws I don't even understand yet.
  23. Time, Tech's campus, and tortillas are all flat circles. Coincidence? ...I think not. (Pancakes at Denny's are also flat circles, but they don't start with at T, so in sum, fuck Gideon).
