  1. Rotating football championship games in Atlanta and Jerry's World. Basketball tournament in Dallas. But, speaking of registration headaches, Napa and Sonoma wine, how many of your fucks during your time at UT took the time to go visit the Gutenberg Bible in the Ransom Center? Apparently, there are fewer than 20 intact Gutenberg Bibles in the world and UT has one of them. https://www.hrc.utexas.edu/gutenberg-bible/

    Thujone

    So, in the realignment thread, the Picasso of Pricks announced the unveiling could be ... tonite. In the meantime, I was never curious enough to look up what is the origination of the Master's name. Until ... "Thujone acts on GABA as an antagonist (opposite to the effects of alcohol). As a competitive antagonist of GABA, thujone alone is considered to be convulsant,[5] though by interfering with the inhibitory transmitter GABA, it may convey stimulating, mood-elevating effects at low doses. It is also used in perfumery as a component of several essential oils." Clever Lad that Thujone.
  3. January 1, 1982. I had just completed my first semester in law school and was visiting my parents who at that time, lived in Huntington Beach, California. My idiot older sister lived out there and had married a sculptor, artist, stoner. (He did some work on the movie, "The Thing" was just released in 1982). 6th ranked Texas is playing 3rd ranked Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. That 1:00 p.m. start in Texas meant 11:00 a.m. Left Coast Time. Soooo, I start pounding Bloody Marys (Maries?) around 10:00. Game starts. Idoit sister's (now ex) husband comes staggering into the room in the second quarter. Willie (yes, his true name) says, "So, Steve, so like, what are you about man?" I remember slowing looking up at him and in an exaggerated drawl say, "Well, Willie, I'm about to start my 3rd Bloody Mary and then watch the rest of this fucking game. Wanna join me?" His blood shot eyes open wider, he mumbles something and stumbles out of the room. I watched out Horns come back in the 4th to beat the Bear Bryant lead Bama team. (But for that horrific loss against Arkansuck earlier in the year, we probably would have won the MNC that year)
  4. If herpes is your thing ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
  5. Fuck me sideways and twice on Sunday. I meant as a member of the SWC.
  6. For the younglings who were not around or too young to remember 1990 ... Arkansas' last appearance at DKR. The Show band of the Southwest expressed their view on Arkansas jumping ship to the SEC pretty damned well ...
  7. The realization that is dawning on many seems to be that when aggy joined the SEC, the overwhelming noise being spewed forth was that the move "made" aggy. Now, aggy was going to be able to compete! It completed them. With Texas going to the SEC, the talking points seem to universally be that the move is going to help the SEC in an incredible way so much so that the SEC now has the ability to perhaps leave the NCAA. Now, the SEC will be able to completely impose its will on college athletics. A college power broker is the institution that "Makes" a conference into an incredibly greater force. Not vice versa.
  8. So, anything to the rumor that aggy plans to filibuster when the votes are taken to try to prevent it from happening? Supposedly they are looking for Wendy Davis' sneakers and soiled underwear she wore during her 11 hour filibuster 8 years ago. Poor aggy
  9. This pretty much has it all. Talking about turditions ... Football on Thanksgiving, Charlie aggy as the Rube, Lucy as the SECSECSEC. Poor aggy ... the jokes just write themselves.
  10. Shoulda negged for use of the superfluous and unnecessary "of."
  11. I just looked on puma.com. Didn't see em there. There are some pair on ebay. Closest thing on the puma site are these: https://us.puma.com/en/us/pd/suede-classic-xxi-mens-sneakers/374915.html?dwvar_374915_color=14
  12. I know the F1 Vets on here have probably dissected the changes going into the 2022 cars. But, this recent clip on Youtube does a pretty good job of explaining them to the man on the street.
  13. I VOTE FIVE! NUMBER 5! NUMERO CINCO! This has Sissy Cuckold Boy written ALLLLL over it.
  14. The difference is that aggy never backed it up. Vince, Colt did. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!
  15. I'll pass on the pussy who doesn't have the confidence in himself to think, "I'm going to elevate this historic program to heights not seen before. I am going to bust my ass off to get people to come to Texas knowing they are going to build a monster." The kid wants to be part of a winning team? Great, good for him. Knock yourself out. But, give me the kid with the brains, the balls, the will to win and the courage and confidence to know that THAT is exactly what he is going to do. Be a Legend at Texas or just another good quarterback at Bucknuts.
  16. For some reason, the Devil's Page and aggy seem to be inextricably intertwined. In fact, Baphomet was an evil deity. Notice the Goat's head. Now, aggy, as we all know, lust after sheep, bringing a background of truth to the old joke, "How do you know you are getting close to aggyland? The sheep start backing up toward the fenceline." So, sheep, goats, Devil's Page and aggy.... Like Forrest and Jenny the Slut.
  17. It looks a little bit like the 1972 Samsonite Special run by the Parnelli Jones team. Check website: https://www.conceptcarz.com/z28446/parnelli-vpj-1.aspx
  18. There is no dispute that the Mouse Network is the most powerful media organization in college football. December 2020 it was announced the Mouse is taking the SEC away from CBS and will be its exclusive media partner. The Mouse is on the hook for $3 BILLION over 10 years. https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/sec-espn-abc-football-tv-rights-cbs The Mouse isn't going to just give $300 MILLION EVERY YEAR to the Sister Eating Conference. They are going to make up all of $ and more through corporate sponsorships, commercials, etc. But, they have to insure a good product that the corporate big boys will stay interested in and know that millions of eyeballs are being trained on the product. So, you keep your candy ass scheduling, schedule the Sisters of the Poor in November, get at least 2 teams in the expanded playoffs every year. The Mouse is so powerful that it controls the narrative and frames the issues it wants. It doesn't have to be fair and equitable. It is in the Mouse Networks's best interest, and in the best interest of the Sister Eating Conference NOT to be even handed. And that contract is on top of the other contract the Mouse and the Sister Eating Conference has covering events in men's and women's basketball, baseball and softball. It also does not include the SEC Network. All o those bring in additional revenue. And .. profit.
  19. Lindsey Nelson ... the voice of the Cotton Bowl. There are some great clips of past Longhorn teams on here.. and some heart break.
  20. That is just all sorts of greatness. You need to write a book about your Missus. It would be epic.
  21. What fun is that?! Fresh punkins every year. Shiny gold and silver spray paint. Glitter on top of that. The gayness comes out ... not that's there's anything wrong with that!
  22. Besides Porn and Surly? Nah.
  23. What the hell? A lot of Hamilton haters?
  24. I am lurving Doom's Evil Punkin. I went in an opposite direction, Christmasy-Angelic as it were. Turned them into Christmas decorations out front. The paint preserved them nicely.
  25. I'm thinking that perhaps Phil was humanized quite a bit when his wife got breast cancer in 2009. The realization of the mortality of a loved one goes a long way in helping one find their soul.
