  1. Brownwood has been a BBQ desert for at least 30 years. Overcooked, dry, and stringy is the Brownwood way. If you have to eat there, go downtown to The Turtle (no ‘cue) or drive to Coleman and eat pizza at the place downtown. I fondly remember the Underwood’s of my youth in Wichita Falls, Brownwood and Lubbock-now, just say no. Yet the place is usually busy……..
  2. I’ve carried a hip pocket flask (or two) to family events for years…high proof Smirnoff is workable.
  3. Order a Popeye’s turkey now, pick it up on the way out of Dallas; also a bottle of Tabasco or Crystal. Pour entire bottle of hot sauce over turkey in bag to enhance marinade. Leave the leftovers with them…….
  4. Because I don’t want a lemon twist-I want a Gibson. Gin:vermouth 6:1 ratio, no bitters, stir to cold, serve over fresh ice with 2 cocktail onions. Tastes vary, but others can keep their pimiento, blue cheese, jalapeño, and pickled garlic olives. I like the tangy cocktail onions…………….
  5. While in pharmacy school at The University, our Saturday date night was 2 Burrito Supreme(s) at 99 cents each and split a medium Dr Pepper. If I had picked up a few ManPower hours that week, I’d add a Pintos’n’Cheese (79 cents?). We knew how broke we were. What a long strange trip it’s been.
  6. Plenty of pigs in Mills County, mostly the western part-although I’ve seen 2 road killed (?) ones within the city limits of Goldthwaite in the last month. You’ll have ‘em soon enough.
  7. I think you’re wrong about that, Grasshopper. My first dealings with the DEA were in roughly 1980, and they were very well staffed and _very_ interested in small-time doings on both the legitimate drug distribution side (mine) and the illegal side. Building their chops,I guess.
  8. I’m no coach, but I’ve watched or attended about 6000 games in the last 60+ years. A series is nothing; we should toss him in for a whole 3rd quarter as a change up and see what happens. Might wake up our QB1 and QB2. What’s to lose at this point? No invite to the Meinecke Muffler Bowl?
  9. This! I thought our quarterbacks were solid and talent in the wide receivers room………………
  10. Our OL may get our QB’s killed pathetic
  11. Centralized CVS record keeping. Any CVS should be able to fill out a new one for you-but go in to ask when it’s slow and be patient/
  12. Yeah, not sure I understand the disdain for Subway; out here in the culinary desert of West Texas, they usually have the best lettuce, spinach, peppers, etc. in town and are the only choice for a sandwich. (There are those triangular manufactured things from the truck stop). Never had any gastric upset, or actually known anyone that did-could happen, probably a dressing neglect problem. OTOH, I’ve eaten meals from several mom’n’pop meat and three places in the equivalent little towns that left me dehydrated and trembling for a couple of days. You eat out, roll the dice.
  13. Nah, wherever jabbed you can fix a new card rapidly. The pharmacy where I used to work has to enter the info into FIVE different databases, including the CDC. Accessing the info without HIPAA clearance is another matter……….
  14. Well, our new coaching staff seems to have aggy’d up this season, so………………..
  15. I use the Spyderco Sharpmaker. Easy, fast, and will put a shaving edge on any decent steel. Not in the same league as oiled emery cloth on top of plate glass with a dinosaur foreskin strop loaded with red rouge, but it’ll do for my kitchen needs.
  16. Oh, about the same as always. Piles and piles of money to the enforcers, no positive effect at the street level.
  17. I’m an old fart-fuck ‘em and their pc. And, Texas over blowU in ‘63 brought tears of laughter to my young self.
  18. Sorry, no offense meant; it’s always fascinated me that we aspiring graduates were never taught the difference between “alumnus,” “alumna,” and “alumni.” Maybe I can get the Exes to send out a blast email………Hook ‘Em.
  19. Bowlsby is a fool. Contracts were made to be broken. The B12 would be better off to send us on our way immediately. Also, some of my attorney family members (bleh!) say that the GOR isn’t actually an enforceable contract anyway, more like one of those “gentlemen’s agreements”………..
  20. An astonishingly potent opioid- and heaven only knows how much of it comes in from China, South America, etc. Not that hard to make in the lab. Lots of fake and adulterated tablets of all sorts out there-and I can tell you many aren’t distinguishable from commercial products. Scary, very scary shit! From your friendly non-local pharmacist-
  21. Looks like the Surly docs are all up in this topic. Aspirin/Motrin/ibuprofen/Aleve/naproxen are all Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID’s). Continuing use of those is the #1 cause of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in the US. Y’all need to stop getting hangovers. Screwdrivers and Bloody Marys are better treatments, in moderation. And enchiladas! From your friendly non-local pharmacist…………….
  22. I did the cowboy action shooting deal for years and had great fun, but it’s half-assed “re-enactment.” My late father did the mountain man re-enactment bit for years; I tried 1 weekend with him, and ended up sleeping in my truck and trying to locate the nearest Starbucks on my phone! Not good times for the people that had to live it. As my scoutmaster buddy used to say, “I love me some porcelain!.”
  23. Wow, W P, you’re one of my favorite posters, but I didn’t expect a comment on a 2 month old comment. fascinating tidbit on the Osceola I don’t think yaupon contains any hallucinogens (unlike, say, the Texas Mountain Laurel) but it is pretty highly caffeinated; I imagine drinking a gallon of weak Folger’s would lead to something like visions! I’m still not dragging my lazy ass off the couch to pick enough leaves and berries to make a gallon of yaupon tea, so I guess I’m safe.
