  1. The answer to that question is obvious. But there was only one I could watch on Sundays at my grandparents' house after Hee Haw.
  2. I have a new Zoysia (Palisades) lawn, ignorance, and a black thumb. So many questions... BUT, I figured the best way to start was this: What should I absolutely NOT do? My greatest fear is putting something on it (weed killer, excess fertilizer, etc) that will kill or otherwise screw it up? Remember, I'm a moron.
  3. Look what I found whilst cleaning crap out of my office this morning: Gentlemen, the bidding starts at 1 trillion Shaggy rep points or its equivalent in Ameros, Best Buy coupons, USB ports, or Derka Dogs.
  4. If somebody smacked you in the head with a yo ball, you were well within your rights to shoot their eye out with one of these:
  5. Yeah, there were a lot of good movies on the OG thread I didn't save since my boys had seen them. Didn't plan on Kevin. Mine really liked Man on Wire, which kind of surprised me. They also loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
  6. I recently installed a Nest outdoor and indoor IQ, as well as a Hello. They are pricey to buy and you only get the IQ features if you subscribe, but I think they just came out with a 5 day history plan which is less expensive. I went with Nest to integrate with my other Google stuff. I do like the familiar face recognition as well as the ability to divide the image into zones (pool vs. porch vs. servants' quarters, &c.).
  7. That's funny, because your mom said she's contemplating changing hers to "mike's mom."
  8. Hilltop is great. Somebody added it. Added The Real New Orleans Style Restaurant - Marble Falls TX. Great Cajun from members of a church displaced by Katrina who decided to stick around.
  9. I wish I remembered who started it, but back at Kevin's Folly there was a post asking for recommendations for movie night for older kids/teenagers. It generated some good ideas (as well as some horribad ones, of course) and sounded like a cool thing to do as mine get older, so I put some of them on a list to keep around. The point was primarily to entertain them as a group, and to mix in some classic and essential films that they might not seek out on their own. And also to warp their minds and scar them emotionally. Anyway, I thought it was worth resurrecting and adding on to, so here's what I had: Classics Giant Casablanca Treasure of the Sierra Madre Inherit the Wind Grapes of Wrath To Kill a Mockingbird Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Catch 22 Citizen Kane Gone with the Wind Comedy Groundhog Day Caddyshack Can't Buy Me Love Ferris Bueller's Day Off Young Frankenstein Dr. Strangelove Airplane!

  10. Not subtle.
  11. Damn. The Asylum Street Spankers version of this is pretty good, too.
  12. I don't know jack about horticulture, but the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute botanical gardens right outside of Ft. Davis are pretty cool and make for a nice quiet walk for an hour or so.
  13. I like to think that Capsela ultimately gave us
  14. That's the chicken/cheese/jap wrapped in bacon? They were good. Johnny's in Salado does them better, though. I think that, deep deep down, I just wanted to shit on something that people in Waco like.
  15. I like LL AWH is good but a bit unwieldy. Sound Exchange wouldn't be bad.
  16. After having a serious nostalgia chuckle during the movie, I'm making my boys watch Krull. They're loving it. Times may change, but us boys still have predictably terrible and marketable taste.
  17. I'm going to be honest that I never liked that the Gene Wilder version changed things up from the book and made Charlie and his grandpa into whiny bitches. But Wilder killed it in the role he was given and made it iconic. Even if Depp was handed a turd sandwich, he just ate it.
  18. And if you can work it in, swim at Balmorhea.
  19. Burger and kick-ass Scorpion margarita at Starlight
  20. Went to the Capri a couple years ago, not knowing anything about it. Took two grubby boys there and we were pretty gross from camping, but they took our money (plenty of it). It was a bit precious, but the drinks were good, as was the ribeye:
