  1. Lol….never heard this one before, and the guy is an Aussie:
  2. Since my grandparents were adults in the late 19th Century, I marvel at the fact he’ll live well into the 22nd Century. A four century look at live generations by my own eyes is pretty mind-boggling to me. From my own family - Grandparents to grand nieces (1874 - 2100+):
  3. *Done did.
  4. Am curious. What will VY’s NFL retirement be when he’s eligible to start drawing it?
  5. But good for the new couch furniture business.

    Getting old sucks

    I had a root canal this afternoon. At CVS right now to pick up some vidocin.
  7. He just fucks up consistently.
  8. Necrobump. I’m having a molar root canal this afternoon.. oh joy.
  9. This is the only Marlin I ever owned - paid $80 new for it in 1968. One of my sons now owns it.
  10. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.
  11. Brit humo(u)r:
  12. As I hinted in post #7309 above.
  13. Except when that evil t.u. joins the SEC, so aggie diaper shitting assumes global proportions.
  14. See Captain Ron’s post #8 above.
  15. 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.
  16. 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….
  17. Repeat that tomorrow. Your nuts will thank you on Monday.
  18. 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.
  19. I’m not dissing Austin’s public transportation. But a city’s got to know its limitations……
