  1. We had no idea if they would display it or not - it had no history with the Texas 36th Division. But neither of us really wanted to keep it.
  2. B-B-B-But Jimbo was a sitting national championship coach! Or so we heard for several years.
  3. Some assembly required……
  4. They got hookers in the retirement home? Asking for a friend.

    Getting old sucks

  6. Nope…… My brother donated it to the Camp Mabry Military Museum in Austin about 25 years ago. We checked on it about 10 years ago and their computer records said it was still stored in their vault. As far as we know it has never been put on display in any of the exhibits.
  7. In the mid-1950s when we were stationed in St. Louis, I “played Army” with a real BAR - it was a “bringback” from France by my dad in 1945. It was a Belgian FN licensed copy of the Browning, but with a few modifications like the pistol grip and in 7.9mm. We guess it was captured bythe Germans when they overran the Low Countries early in WW2, then recaptured by our GIs in ‘45. Looked just like this one below. It was pretty heavy lugging it around the woods behind our house, but nobody in the neighborhood gave it, or me, a second look.
  8. Coulda woulda shoulda…. In 1958 or 1959 my dad passed on buying a 400 acre ranch with a half mile of waterfront on the north shore of Lake Travis @$100/acre. In 1988 my brother advised me not to buy 1,000 shares of Dell Computer stock @$8/share. fml
  9. Lol - had to look that POS up.
  10. If the drug-addled Elon continues with his current position as a “special advisor” to this administration while sitting in on cabinet meetings , the Tesla board should vote to remove him from the car company’s leadership. Its 125,000 employees (including my son who loves his job at the Austin Gigafactory) would be better off.
  11. Blame the bitch holding the leash.
  12. Shit talk not going away.
  13. Looks like the EU grew some balls. Good for them.
  14. Yes, they certainly are.
  15. We are watching the Wheel of Fortune and reruns of Midsomer Murders. Edited to add: We have never streamed anything on our smartass TV, nor paid extra to watch a “+” program.
  16. Beetle ate at Taco Bell?
