  1. I've been looking at that pic for 10 minutes trying to find Bert, dammit.

    BBQ

    Any thoughts about Rollin Smoke off East Cesar Chavez? Niece (no pics) and her hubby (USNA grad; was on the football team) are in town this weekend for her birthday celebration. They're staying downtown and we told them we'd like to take them out for lunch and that's the place they've selected after hearing "great things" from friends. She's from Spring, he's from Oklahoma and to the best of my knowledge most of the BBQ they've had has been from her dad's backyard offset (it's...edible).
  3. What have you seen in the past 10+ years that would give you the belief that the MAGA crowd can be reasoned with in any fashion? They want two things: for Trump to inflict pain upon the people they don't like, and for Trump to lie about how awesome he--and by extension, America--is.
  4. Sorry for what you are going through. If you're in the Austin area and are considering in-home euthanasia and want a recommendation please DM me. We've had to put 3 pets down over the years--one cat at the vet, a dog and a cat at home--and at home was so much better. Your pet is in peaceful, comfortable surroundings and the ability to grieve/celebrate/heal in your own home vs a vet clinic is worlds better.
  5. I dunno, the tiny, shriveled penis as Donald Trump approving the political message was pretty fucking brilliant.
  6. Yep. What they did was despicable. And if you dig deep enough, dangerously irresponsible. Willis wasn't a great actor. But he made the most of what he had & lucked into a couple of damn fine parts. That's any actor's dream. There are worse ways to go in the end than not remembering your past regrets.
  7. "She got the covid jab!"
  8. If he did I never found it. But he wouldn't let another random cat near our yard. His owner is certifiable & "rescued" so many cats & dogs she damn near had a petting zoo. Stuart was almost 18 when he passed. Damn good run for an indoor/outdoor cat. He spent at least 15 years checking in on us.
  9. Derka's last posts reminded me of a recently deceased neighbor cat, Stewart, who favored our porch. His house was across the street, but he'd hang out most days in our patio chairs, look in the windows for our cats & dog, & just generally was a cool dude. Oh yeah, he kept an eye out for Amazon deliveries.
  10. He's on 102.7, the ESPN affiliate. He's lost whatever he had of his fastball and is pretty meh to insufferable. 3-4, and then Ed Clements walks down the hall from the KLBJ-AM Q-Anon studio and joins him for an hour. If you're stuck in traffic there are worse options.
  11. I just ventured over to an okie state forum (rideemcowboys) and a poke fan is bragging that they're currently leading ou 7-0 for the top HS players in the state of Oklahoma for 2026. Gundy's building a monster!!
  12. Yeah, Jeff Ward this afternoon was comparing Jerrah's presser yesterday w/ any random Trump moment in front of a microphone. They're both decrepit narcissists who don't have any plan or clue about what they're going to say in front of a microphone or a camera, the only thing they know is they HAVE to speak. And worse, they think people NEED to hear them or even care about the nonsense coming out of their mouths.
  13. And he's to thank for one of the best B&B bits of all time.
  14. That's what you call using up all of the runway. Peace, Ozzy.
  15. Looks like trying to watch scrambled soft core on Skinemax around '92 or so.
  16. Rewatching it again on HBO and just finished season 2. It's so damn good and essential. It serves as both a harbinger of things to come w/ the uncertainty as everyone--the crews, the stevedores, even the police--fight to stave off extinction by what's coming, but also shows step by step how the decline of industry led to generations growing up with slinging drugs as their only way of making money. You get the whole history of the game, and see how even those like Avon & Prop Joe who seem to be in charge are really at the mercy of the Greeks & the other international suppliers.

  18. The perfect Christmas ornament doesn't exis....
  19. Watching it now. I'm kind of ambivalent to Billy Joel's music. I recognize he's written some damn fine melodies & pop songs, & has been an entertainer of fine standing, but I've never owned any of his records or seen him live. But he does come across as fairly open & reflective in this doc. I don't know enough about his story to know if he's whitewashing his past, but he doesn't seem to shy away from talking about many of his past mistakes in part one.
  20. I'm pretty sure that was actually at the BXII championship game against CU.
  21. The timing of this during SEC media days is, well...
  22. The MAGA cap inference on the nightstand is so choice.
  23. Y'all can share the celebrity tales, but how about the local young teenage girl in every HS across the country who went to a party where everyone else was hooking up except for her so she went to the refrigerator and took out the (carrot, cucumber, kielbasa...whatever the most common phallic item was in the area) and got caught masturbating with it. And in some twists, it got stuck inside of her and she had to go to the ER to have it removed. I always heard this was Stevie Nicks.
  24. I'm legit shocked Trump didn't pull out a sharpie and try to autograph the trophy first.
