  1. Send me a link as well. I’ve not seen this before and would like to.
  2. It’s not a hissy fit. I’m not out in front of his restaurant picketing him. I vote with my wallet, and I chose not to give my money to known shitheads and borderline criminals when there are non-shithead/criminal options of similar quality. I’m in Austin 2-3 times per year, so I doubt my choice will have a whole lot of impact on the bottom line over there. If there are enough people like me who live in Austin, maybe he should consider being a less shitty human. Apologizing when it goes public doesn’t make you a less shitty human, it’s damage control.
  3. It’s got an early 90’s Austin vibe with better restaurants, plus all of the historical shit, and the ocean.
  4. It’s badass. Go.
  5. It can be pretty miserable in July and August. Uber instead of walking fixes most of that, but part of the charm of the place is that it’s incredibly walkable, and I don’t care to be sweaty when eating at a nice restaurant. 95 with 90% humidity gets you pretty sweaty pretty quickly. The other 10 months of the year it’s near perfection.
  6. Probably the best putting display I have seen since Crenshaw was putting on a couple of green jackets.
  7. +1. It was on my short list of places to eat the next time I’m in Austin. Plenty of other places with great bbq.

  9. Sounds like a couple of miserable fucking jobs.
  10. Been within five feet of a great white as well. Trying to pet it never occurred to me. I’ve apparently lived a sheltered life.

  12. I came within 5 feet of a lion when we did the safari thing. The ones in the national parks are somewhat indifferent to humans in vehicles. Those guys sitting up front know what they’re doing. I also talked to a guy who was a guide in Namibia who had to shoot a lion when one of his clients got out of the vehicle and tried to pet the cubs. Mamma was not happy about that. Should’ve shot the client, but that would probably be bad for business. Do what you’re told to do, follow the rules, and it’s a good time.
  13. The whole slavery thing was kinda sorta an internship is a bridge far far far far too far for me. I suppose I have probably looked the other way while religious wackjobs have gradually taken over my state, and that’s on me. But keeping this bullshit out of textbooks is a hill I’m willing to die on.
  14. If you were staying close to the slopes it was an alarm clock. They would go out before the lifts opened for the day, see if anything looked like it had the potential for an avalanche, and if it did, blow it up while nobody was on the mountain.
  15. They’ve been doing that for a long time. Like I’m 48 and they were doing it when I was 8.
  16. She’s very cool. She’s really good friends with the SIL. She walked into their house for a party and, loud enough for everyone to hear including her, I told the wife “that’s Meadow fucking Soprano.”
  17. Wasn’t really a flex. We just tend to head south when we go out.
  18. Shouldn’t corporations be able to run their business any way they want to? Free market economy and all that? I’m confuddled.
  19. Small passenger plane and Mogadishu are a bad combo.
  20. People just hate Stockton because he’s the dirtiest mf’er to ever play in the NBA. In a popularity contest, which is what that was, you probably shouldn’t take someone who everyone hates. Rockets, Mavs, Spurs fans can’t agree on much, but you will find a strong consensus on hoping Stockton gets hit by a truck tomorrow.

  22. I’ve lived in Texas for close to 50 years, and for 40+ of those years I peacefully coexisted with illegal immigrants. Our economy would struggle mightily without them. I still peacefully coexist with these folk, but this wasn’t an issue until a New Yorker decided to run for President.
