  1. So, in 2012, my son and I go to Mi Cocina (the original one at Preston and Forest). We walk back to bar area, hop in the only two empty seats at the bar. Right next to us is... Sean Payton and his wife. (I guess they had a house at the time in the Coppell (?) area. My son keeps looking over at Payton, Payton starts to squirm a bit, so eventually I think, "Screw it." Turn to my right and say, "Hi Coach. I'm Lid and this is my son Skippy Lid, Jr. He's gonna burst a pipe unless he says hi and can we impose upon you for an autograph." He laughed, was very gracious. Sat on an airplane once next to Arie Luyendyk, winner of the 1990 Indy 500. A quiet dude. Took a piss next to Ross Perot once at the Petroleum Club. I did NOT look at him and say, "Nice cock." On a lesser level, "back in the day," I along with my then scumbag law partner, would go to Sevy's pretty much every Thursday. U.S. District Court Judge Jerry Buchmeyer was there every Thursday. We got to know him and the two people he sat with pretty well. Buchmeyer was a diminutive gentleman, soft spoken. But, he had a penchant for very tall women. The one time I really made him laugh was in 2001, the movie Pearl Harbor came out. We're sitting there, I'm smoking my cigar (yes, you could smoke cigars at the bar back then), looked at everyone and said, "You know, I am not THAT guy who gives away how movies end but in the case of Pearl Harbor, I'm going to. They all look at me like, "sumbitch, you better not!" So, I said ... "The Japanese lose." Buchmeyer looks at me for just a second and busts out laughing. Very smart man.
  2. Mental health conference at the Hague next June 3 - 5... oh my. Maybe hop on a train or flight to Nice... Bucket list indeed. I am all for watching a parade.
  3. So, would one of you horse people enlighten me... After the Derby, there is only one horse in the world who can win the Triple Crown that year. Yes, three grueling races in 5 weeks is a true test. But, last year and this year, the Belmont was reduced from its usual 1 1/2 mile to 1 1/4 mile because of the construction at Belmont and Saratoga apparently could not be set up for a 1 1/2 race. So, wouldn't this year have been less grueling for the nags? I read that the owners of Sovereignty didn't want to exhaust the horse but still ... Triple Crown winners can become iconic. They are rarely forgotten. Yes, Sovereignty looks to be the best 3 year old this year. But, if he has his dick handed to him in the Travers or Breeders Cup, doesn't he become just another horse named Herb instead of a one of 14 (if he had won) elite champions. Help me understand Obi wan... you're our only hope.
  4. Unpopular opinion time ... Regarding the Godless, heathen, home to the hillbillies, ou, there has always been a direct correlation between ou cheating/being placed on probation and them winning a national championship. Win a championship... probation in the next two years. But, at least those bastards won. Unlike those sheep humpin' fake army, sittin' at the kiddie table at Thanksgiving gomers, aggy. They cheated like hell, as often as they could. Which from 1940 onward, resulted in the same number of national championships as Mary Hardin-Baylor Crusaders.
  5. As in year's past, sat down and watched Saving Private Ryan. For some reason, it was particularly emotional this year. Then.. I remembered this story. [the talking head needs to learn to shut the hell up!]
  6. Obligatory pointing out, "Gay Hockey Smut Novels" would be a great band name.
  7. Jag... it's not that difficult. Go back to this exterior. Drop a reliable, powerful engine in it...
  8. Could one of you "Puck Heads" explain why the Leafs are held in such contempt? Dirtbag fans? Jughead Jones like front office? Arrogance of the players? Inquiring minds want to know. Merci B Cups.
  9. Before we start awarding ourselves the Cup, and Victoria Crosses and Congressional Medals of Honor ... (start at the 30 second mark Gents)
  10. From Turtle Tom's Wiki page: Personal life [edit] Herman is a member of Mensa International. He and his wife, Michelle, have a daughter, Priya, and two sons, Maddock and Herman the Frog
  11. The Big Lebowski not landing? The remake of True Grit better than the original? Coen Brother films the best thing in American film in the last 50 years?
  12. We all know that at times, certain parts of the female anatomy can have a slight fishy aroma and taste... but ... that is going above (or below) and beyond! (Forgive me Jebus)
  13. Wait, wait, wait. You are suggesting that Surlytians stay on point? Use facts, reason and logic and submit erudite opinions? Really?
  14. Then, there is... Tyrone Branyan ... When you hear the name Tyrone most people picture someone looking like this ... (no racist) ... But, Tyrone Branyan... that magnificent bastard ... was this ... (again, no racist)...
  15. Corso had some good points here.
  16. Just cause page 1700
  17. There is a LOT more to that story!
  18. That last position by Houston sure seemed to be more about "hero ball" than anything else. As in ... "I'm gonna take the 3 and win the game, and be on Sportscenter and be famous..." Run your fucking offense, take what is there... throw it inside and if it is there... kick it back out. Otherwise go hard to the board, pound it, put up a two and perhaps you get fouled. If not, win it in overtime... as a team...
  19. and Rickey's biggest accomplishment was overshadowed by Nolan. First, in his career, Henderson was 2 - 17 against Nolan, with 5 strike outs, for a whopping .118 average. Finally, on the very day Henderson broke Lou Brock's all time stolen base record... that night, Nolan threw his 7th no-hitter! He was Nolan's bitch.
  20. Is it up to SIX hookers now?
  21. she did with me ... multiple times in fact.
