  1. I did something nefarious to some Buckeye fans in 2006. We lost the game and I was down on 6th Street making my way toward the more then, civilized 4th Street area with the now, Ex-Mrs. Lid - The Sequel. Started talking with two married Buckeye couples ... no buckeyes around their neck, about my age (mid to late 40s). They were gracious, intelligent, not thrilled about 6th street. So, I told them to go to a jazz club on 4th street since that is where we were headed. Gave them directions. After they walked off, 4 stereotypical Bucknut dudes walk up... intoxicated, Bucknut jerseys, Bucknuts around the neck. One of them loudly mumbles out... "Dude! We like your lady! Can you tell us where we can go to find hot chicks who look like her!" I said, "Sure. There is this place called Oil Can Harry's. It's on 4th Street. You will find exactly what you are looking for there! Now, on game nights, the cover charge can be a bit steep but what you will find on the inside is well worth the price and right up your alley." Their response? "Fuckin' A Dude. Go Buckeyes!" I hope they enjoyed their time there.
  2. THIS is an incredibly insightful post. A lot of very good information in here. Thanks Troph.
  3. I could tell you horror stories about how the vast majority of therapists have NO BUSINESS rendering what they believe is therapy. They are so caught up in countertransference that in any other profession, they could be sued for negligence and/or malpractice. Here is an article on countertransference: https://www.relationalpsych.group/articles/what-is-countertransference-in-therapy If you are looking into therapy, you must, you must, YOU MUST, treat this relationship as an interview and YOU are interviewing the therapist to see if they are a good fit. Do your research and homework. Ask whatever questions you deem are appropriate. If the therapist refuses to answer, give them one last opportunity and if the therapist is still reluctant to be transparent ... leave. You are entrusting your emotions, your feelings, your fears and concerns with them. They must earn that trust by being transparent with you. Accept nothing less!
  4. uh.... your source sucked donkey dicks. We have no Friday night games and the Mouse would probably never allow that. As some Gen Whatevers whine and complain about the schedule, I can't help but think about what the hardcore, internet dweeb fans of other schools must think about Texas when we come to town ... "HOLY FUCKBALLS! TEXAS IS LOADED. THEY ARE GONNA DUMP TRUCK US! Why did we invite them into the SEC anyway? We can beat those sheep humpin' assholes from aggyland ... but Texas is a different aminal. We are screwed!
  5. Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen ... look at the way they hold the microphones. The one on the far left is holding it in a very tentative manner. And the look on her face says, "I really, really DON'T want to put that thing in my mouth. I am relatively cute so I really shouldn't have to.! The one on the far right is holding it loosely with her second hand about to come up to assist. She has a resigned look on her face that says, "Ok, I will do this but it is NOT my favorite thing to do." The one in the middle has a firm, confident grip on it. She knows what she is doing. Her face says, "Yes, I dig this too! I am about to rock your world!" Read the clues boys and you will rarely go wrong!
  6. Know your history Fellas. I give you ... Clint Longley. Longley is best remembered for his performance in a Thanksgiving Day game in 1974 against the Washington Redskins. Longley, then a rookie, came into the game for an injured Roger Staubach with the Cowboys trailing 16–3 in the third quarter, and facing elimination from the playoffs. After hitting Billy Joe Dupree for a 35-yard touchdown pass, he led the Cowboys on a 70-yard drive capped by a 1-yard Walt Garrison touchdown run. Finally, with the Cowboys behind 23–17 and with only 28 seconds left with no time outs, Longley hit Drew Pearson at the left sideline for a 50-yard hail mary pass touchdown which gave the Cowboys a dramatic 24–23 come from behind victory.[4][5] Because Longley had no expectation of playing in that game and was completely unprepared, Cowboys lineman Blaine Nye sarcastically called his winning effort "the triumph of the uncluttered mind." I refer to it as the "glory of the uncluttered mind" but the concept is still the same. The Stockton kid was acting on raw emotion and adrenaline. He did not anticipate being "the man." Assuming Beck is out the rest of the playoffs, DCs can gameplan to isolate the kid, add complexities to their defense, exotic blitzes... Jawja is in some significant peril.
  7. I respectfully suggest you do not split your infinitives like that Hombre! Hook 'em.
  8. WHAT? The collective is being disrupted? The Hell you say!
  9. From a balmy 37 degree morning in far, far, away... err... North Dallas, already filled with Thanksgiving leftovers and a trouble making, wood-headed dog ...
  10. Sophia Locke?
  11. From brisk far North Dallas, hoping to see our Longhorns run like this wood-headed, burnt orange coated doggo...
  12. Here's to the Bones...
  13. Yup. Straight up good dude who is in the Longhorn Hall of Honor.
  14. We had an interesting, sort of related situation on the 40 Acres. In Dec. 1991, David McWilliams resigned as head coach and asked to be reassigned in the athletic department. He became an associate athletic director working with student athletes. Just the year before, he had signed a new 4 year contact extension. His base salary ? $116,000 per year. The joke at the time was that McWilliams was in charge of hot dogs and hamburgers for the Texas Exes. He did have burnt orange blood. But, he never coached again.
  15. From ... the Twilight Zone ...
  16. We don't quite have all the facts yet Gentlemen. First, OP and his wife have been married 38 blissful years. Which puts their age at what ... early to mid 60s. A wedding shower? So, inquiring minds what to know... whose shower is it and what relation do they have to the OP's wife? Is it a child of a trusted friend? Is it a friend of the OP's wife going for Wife No. 2? or 3? or 4? Is it a nephew? Niece? If the shower is just for a rando with whom the OP and his beloved wife have very few interactions... FUCK 'EM AND FEED 'EM FISHHEADS! GO HORNS.
  17. By everyone, do you mean young men under the age of 28 who believe every pass, either completed or not completed has to be called a "dime," and who are so desperate to find their own relevance in a world which cares increasingly less, that they naively (or stupidly) believe that if they invent new words like "tuddie" or "natty" they will be regarded as erudite and not beholden to terminology or ways of thinking utilized by their elders? (excuse the run on question). Not everything associated with "the times" is necessarily better? For example, See ex-Mrs. Lid the Sequel, fast food (which is only food in the technical sense of the word) and Jorge's margaritas (the ones in the late 70s/early 80s would destroy many today. Ok... I have clouds to yell at and kids to get off my lawn. Continue.
  18. Coincidence? I think not!
  19. Yes, we were getting sketchy football but seriously... Are you trying to say that using practically every statistical analysis, the WORST coach in Texas football history is the same as again, statistically, the second best coach in Texas football history? Even burnt out Mack is light years ahead of that brain dead potted plant who did nothing but dig our grave deeper.
  20. From drizzly, cloudy gray-skied (or skyed) North Dallas, Beauregarde (out looking for Gatas) and I both say:
  21. What? Seriously? If Mack stays for 2014, that means the worst coach in Texas football history would not have come to the 40 acres! Some other university would have rolled the dice on that Bone Headed Ignoramus, Coach Potato's demise would have happened elsewhere, and we would not have been subjected to years of the worst Texas football on a week by week basis. The Coach Potato PTSD still flows strongly within me.
  22. They can call it ... The Akufo Super League!
  23. So, 1995, the maid of honor to my first wife was living in Chicago. I flew up for the game and stayed at her place. (No, no pics and nothing happened since I had not yet morphed into a full blown scumbag yet). She had a relative who worked in the Notre Dame alum office and was involved with tickets. I was dressed in a burnt orange shirt of course. We ended up in the Notre Dame alumni section at the 50 yard line. As the game was about to start, I heard a very familiar voice right behind me ... "TEXAS FANS BABEEE... IT'S GONNA BE A LONG DAY BABEEE!" Yup.. Dick Vitale, one row behind me. And he was throwing out some great lines. As I started to respond in a halfway intelligent manner, we talked a bit about Notre Dame and UT of course. His daughter was on the volleyball team at ND at the time. As ND started pulling away in the second half, I remember Dickie V saying, "Look out for Rickie. He has the look of a Heisman winner. I just looked at him and said something inane like, "Time will tell." Well, game over, he shook my hand saying thanks for being a good sport. My friend and I walked through the parking lot, accepting beers from ND alums, teaching some ND coeds how to 2 steps. A fabulous atmosphere in the fall. By all means, go if you can.
