  1. Some of the liberal denominations have taken sex ed into their educational curricula since the schools are pretty much limited to “abstinence, abstinence, abstinence.”
  2. We may need to just go ahead and close the internet now. Or maybe I could get a research grant??
  3. Uh, Ireland is only slightly larger than West Virginia. Smarter? I’m not sure and I’m about as Irish a Texan as can be.
  4. I agree, story is pretty weak even if true. Pharmacists are actually quite well qualified to teach sex ed, being the medical professionals usually best informed about contraception, STD prevention and treatment, and AIDS prevention and treatment. I’ve taught sex ed at a variety of churches over the years and it’s an enlightening experience. Sorry about your education.
  5. Comparing Terry Kath to Sambora and May? I must have missed the sarcasm icon.
  6. That’s probably the most selfless post in the interest of the greater Surly community I’ve ever read. Count me out, though; I think I’m busy that day.
  7. Since Sir Paul has already rethought and backed down from that comment, you might consider doing the same…….
  8. I’ve flown out of and into Amarillo a couple of hundred times since 1970; kinda fascinating how service in/out has peaked and deteriorated. I think it was better when you had to drag your baggage across the tarmac and climb the stairs into a Texas International (?) turboprop. I’d consider driving before Allegiant.
  9. Good call on the 9 year old; at 9 my son (now 38) was packing himself for scout camp outs. I guarantee he wouldn’t have forgotten his chair or towel. Hell, he had a list (self-serving, of course-think Skittles and extra batteries) for me-the wandering assistant scoutmaster. Funny how unreliable wives are………………….
  10. I like this game! Allsups to the left, Taco Casa to the right, and a bar in between pouring only Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo, Tito’s, and Natty Light. (Not that I hate Tito’s). Maybe we should try to get a design contract with SWA……….
  11. Maui 3 times ,but not with kids. Definitely do the drive to the top of Haleakala-take jackets! Road to Hana, hope none of yours are prone to carsickness. Lahaina is extremely touristy but does have some nice historical stuff. If i went with kids, I’d do a luau. Reserve the car now. Paia Fish Market. Kahului for upscale “hippie” shopping.
  12. Hah! I have Vienna sausages, Underwood’s deviled ham, Wolf brand chili (no beans), and tuna foil packs in the pantry; Earl Campbell hot links and pickled jap slices in the fridge. And Tostitos and Frito Hot Bean Dip! Life is good, and this thread is endlessly entertaining.
  13. I’ve concocted worse and eaten it with gusto; doesn’t mean I wouldn’t give somebody else shit for throwing together something that would make women run and children burst into tears……….
  14. Is that the Mad Max version of a 7-layer dip? I sincerely hope it tasted a lot better than it looks.
  15. Bridles looks alcoholic and homeless in that photo. Fuck Briles and fuck Baylor.
  16. Adding a couple of things to the Snowmaggedon grocery list………….
  17. Hanalei Bay on Kaua’i-on my short list for the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen Taos-edgy and artsy; the confluence point of 3 cultures that have never liked each other much-call it creative tension NOLA-the food! The drink! The music! Key West-mostly the fishing, then the food and the people watching Fort Worth-the museums, the friendly West Texas bustle
  18. You are wrong, good sir. I can assure you that I need leg stretching after 30 minutes on a really nice couch, let alone an SWA seat. Just wait until you are old and semi- crippled up!
  19. “Manipulative sociopath?” Doesn’t that describe every head football coach? Sure applies to every head coach I played for in junior high and high school and every coach I’ve watched closely since. Goes with the territory, I reckon..
  20. Metropolitan-you’ll like it. Big Texan for laughs.
  21. I’ve managed to avoid Cooper’s for the last couple of years, thankfully. Only go there for visitors that want to try the hype. Only good meat is the big pork chop, but the beans are nice…………. I ate at Hard 8 in Stephenville once. Once. Their business model is evidently based on feeding drunken junior aggys from Tarleton, desperate deer hunters, and ignorant 281 travelers from the Metroplex headed for Fredericksburg. Reminded me of the “BBQ” in Amarillo I was subjected to as a mere child. Hard 8? Hard pass.
  22. The original Chili’s, just north of Walnut Hill, east of 75 on Greenville, was like a religious experience in 79 or ‘80 or so. You could drink your way to the table (line ran around 2 sides of the building, bar the whole way) and never be out of handshaking distance with a bartender. Their chili was actually pretty good. I’ll still hit a small town (Brownwood, Plainview, etc.) Chili’s for a salad. The last Black Eyed Pea I ate at, in Fort Worth on Hulen, was pretty awful.
  23. There’s a website called “The Fedora Lounge” that has a long and interesting thread on work boots, also worth a look if you’re considering a custom hat, cowboy or otherwise. Personally, I despise those crepe soles on an outdoor boot-slick-perhaps fine for concrete. YMMV. General consensus seems to be that Red Wings are fine boots but hell to break in/mold to your feet. Also lots of discussion on sizing variations fro brand to brand.
  24. Looks like the Red Wing #1155 Pecos. Wearing mine as we type…….comfy as bedroom slippers (with inserts for my high arches.). Tough going as nails, and very low-key ranch/oilfield boots; they drive my wife crazy with no toe stitching, so I wear ‘em as often as possible-
  25. I sort of hate to send up the @RandolphDuke bat signal, but can this be true? LSU athletics “gives back” $10,000,000 to the academic side each year?
