  1. A bit of trivia history…. My dad led the US military investigation for the disappearance of a PBY during the Cold War’s 2nd Formosa (Taiwan) Crisis in October, 1958. We were stationed in Taipei at the time and he was part of the US MAAG. The plane carrying 11 Americans and Chinese Nationalists left the Matsu Islands and never made it back to Taiwan. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/wreckage-of-missing-plane-found-almost-56-years-after-mystery-disappearance-9469529.html I have a copy of the investigation somewhere in a box that Dad gave me before he passed 23 years ago..

  3. 20 years ago a box of this Christmas candy was 89 Cents. This morning at HEB it was $2.97….
  4. Well, it is 140+ miles closer to Phoenix than Austin.
  5. Dunno, but his username is ripe for a pen full of sheep jokes.
  6. Hey, I resemble that.
  7. Checking the payload bay of a BUFF…

  9. Staunch their bleeding vaginas.
  10. Pooooooooorrrrrrraaggggggyyyyyy
  11. Do you know Chet Weber? I think his dad had a construction company in Beaumont during the 1960s. Chet attended St. Edward’s in Austin before transferring to UT in 1966.
  12. I already have a WFH job (surfing Surly and IPIHB) at a higher income. Carry on.
  13. https://www.chronicle.com/article/vandals-remove-horns-from-university-of-texas-steer/ Vandals Remove Horns from University of Texas’ Steer December 2, 1992 Austin, Texas -- The longhorn steer, mascot of the University of Texas, lost its horns a week before the annual football grudge match between Texas and Texas A&M University. Vandals apparently slipped into the university’s stadium and cut the horns off the portrait of a steer on a logotype painted on the artificial turf. Police found a razor blade and a pair of pliers on the running track that rims the field.

  15. My Dad’s frat brother and lifelong best friend from the U. of Missouri (Class of 1933) was an Army Air Corps pilot (DFC) who flew a B-24 in North Africa and a C-54 over The Hump to China in WW2. A true BAMF officer and a gentleman who happened to be 5’4””. He was like a dear uncle to me & my brothers, so he tolerated us kidding him about his height as we grew older and taller. He was also a past president of The Hump Pilot’s Association. He passed away at age 97 in 2009. RIP
  16. Wonder if they shoveled any of that poop on the Miami band?
  17. I didn’t say anything about “winning”….I used the term “got themselves”, which fits better.
  18.

  19. Williams probably took Baylor correspondence courses somewhere along his way to dumbdoom. More like an L.A. pimp.
  20. One of the worst I ever had the misfortune to use was in the basement of the US Border Customs building in Laredo. It was in 1961 after riding up from Monterrey where I had eaten a couple local pastries for breakfast early that morning, resulting in a sudden case of Moctezuma’s Revenge as we pulled into the facility. Down a long flight of stairs I frantically searched through a dozen vacant stalls before finding one that was only piled half full of unflushed shit and toilet paper.
  21. RIP….
  22. Move over, bub….
  23. It appears he does not adhere to the core Christian values espoused in The Lord’s Prayer. SMH
