  1. This is the only Marlin I ever owned - paid $80 new for it in 1968. One of my sons now owns it.
  2. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.
  3. Brit humo(u)r:
  4. As I hinted in post #7309 above.
  5. Except when that evil t.u. joins the SEC, so aggie diaper shitting assumes global proportions.
  6. See Captain Ron’s post #8 above.
  7. While living in Puerto Rico during the early 1950s my Dad acquired some beams of Ausubo wood that were salvaged from a renovation of a 17th Century Spanish colonial building on our US Army post (Fort Brooke). That wood supposedly has a Janka hardness of 3130 lbs. He had several table lamps (two single & one double) and some small items made from it, and I inherited this one single lamp…..(of course I attached the stained glass shade): The side table is Taiwanese teak, custom made when we lived there in the late 1950s.
  8. Oh, I have no doubts as to the pedigree of the source, but dunno which mutt (Texags, 12th Man Foundation, TAMU, Buc-EE’s or the A&M athletic department). Probably the same nabobs who propagated these….
  9. Repeat that tomorrow. Your nuts will thank you on Monday.
  10. Seriously, I & my family would be delighted if Austin had an extensive public transportation system, and would use it. I’ve ridden the Tokyo-Yokohama high speed rail, the subways in NYC, the Tube in London, electric streetcars in St. Louis, school buses in Puerto Rico & Taiwan, the San Francisco cable cars, chicken buses around Mexico, trains across the USA, Mexico & Panama, the Las Vegas monorails, and shuttle buses in numerous cities including those to UT football games. Enjoyed the convenience of them all. But I have my doubts if the CoA and Capital Metro could run an extensive system with even a modicum of competence & fiscal responsibility. Perhaps someday they will.
  11. I’m not dissing Austin’s public transportation. But a city’s got to know its limitations……
  12. Pure whitebread…. without the crust.
  13. Unfortunately I can’t recall if the responsible party was ever outed.
  14. Well Max, maybe you won’t litter anywhere on campus anymore.
  15. A&M traditions & culture = shibboleth.
  16. Not to mention Florida & Georgia being ranked way above A&M.
  17. This aged well…..
  18. Not to mention their open campaign to preventTexas from joining the SEC because they were afraid of being Little Brother again.
