  1. It's getting worse. There are a lot of dog owners who are entitled as shit and are basically daring people to call them out. But the bigger problem is they are causing problems for people with legitimate service dogs in two ways - number one, they are pissing a lot of us off at dogs in general, and number two, too many are pretending that their precious little shit stains are somehow service dogs with their bullshit Temu-quality dog vests. Again, self-entitled assholes who just want attention, but they are making it hard for people with legit dogs because if the label "service dog" means nothing, it hurts legit service dogs.
  2. In the past month at a couple of Austin public parks, I've seen a big-ass off-leash labradoodle whatever knock a kid down hard onto the concrete because he wanted to play with the kid (the kid did not know the dog or the owner). I've seen what looked to be a part-boxer off the leash, jump on old dog (on a leash) who couldn't walk well and the owner of the old dog lost her shit (and rightfully so) and was filming the asshole owner and going to identify him and call the cops, etc. (somebody helped her ID the guy since he lived a few blocks over). I've seen off-leash dogs shit in the toddler areas and the owners were assholes about picking it up. I've seen off-leash dogs start two different fights. A bunch of insufferable assholes who for some reason can't use a fucking leash when there are signs all over about using a leash, are going to hopefully ruin things for all dog owners and start getting dogs banned from some parks or something. I will say there is a small group of people who have been filming the off-leash owners in public parks and identifying them. I don't know what they plan on doing with it, but they are at least quietly filming the assholes and one mentioned putting their shit on blast on social media, as well as going to the city with a list of names, how bad the problem is, etc. and I wish them well.
  3. Where else are you going to meet your future ex-wife or ex-husband?
  4. Holy shit. Pilot Knob (Austin, Texas) - Wikipedia Now I have to watch this Lone Star Austin 911 show. It sounds so insane it might be funny.
  5. Unfortunately for him, his G.I. Joe franchise never properly spun out of the Transformers films like Hasbro wanted, but it looks like they are trying again (maybe).
  6. The image they are projecting does not match up with the whole “Southern Plains” thing because a lot of people associate that with Oklahoma and Kansas and grassy plains, and this is rugged and dirty. My guess is they didn’t want to say “Llano Estacado” either because the fake cowboys who watch this shit would lose their fucking minds, even though that sounds mysterious and interesting to normal people.
  7. They call it a “window” in Russia.
  8. Ransom Canyon: where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, Ransom Canyon premieres April 17, only on Netflix.
  9. My 12 year-old loves them, he's started working through them after finishing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trio". And bumping this thread, because I guess due to there being a new Hunger Games book, it seems like a shitload of middle-schoolers are now reading the Hunger Games. My kid read the first four without us realizing it and was asking for the 5th book and if he could watch the movies.
  10. My kids still have a shitload of games to work through on the original, and even though it's backwards-compatible, we'll probably wait. Would be a good Christmas present for the family. I used to be on top of stuff with consoles - I had the PS2, PS3, and original Wii all within two weeks of launch (Wii was just luck - it was on the top shelf at an HEB and I got a stool and snagged it). Now consoles are like me and streaming TV - there's no sense of urgency for anything because I'm still working through a backlog. If we had any major trips planned this summer, I would be tempted to try and fit it into the budget if it was available (then we'd have it and the first Switch so both kids would be good to go). With that said, Mario Kart 9....
  11. That's why college football is so popular.
  12. Every anesthesiologist is just waiting to crack. I've yet to meet one that was grounded in reality.
  13. Wilson Fisk: Best MCU villain?
  14. Encanto did fine given what was going on when it came out (plus top-grossing animated film of the year even though it came out late), and it sold a fuckload of toys and other merchandise and had massive streaming numbers, musical tours. My sister is a Disney fanatic and said Encanto stuff is at all the parks. Disney Corp. clearly loves Encanto. And one of the co-directors of Encanto was made Chief Creative Officer of Disney Animation Studios. But that and Moana are probably it, and those two won't eternally sell merchandise in the stores like Cars does.
  15. You either really like Ben Palmer or you don’t.
  16. I’m waiting for one set to the Immigrant Song by Zeppelin.
  17. I admit I didn’t see it passing up Mama Mia, but here we are https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/774927-highest-grossing-movie-based-on-a-stage-show And now it’s finally streaming, so the rentals are probably over (who the fuck pays $20 to rent something for three days when it’ll be on streaming a few months later). Shit, Wicked Part 2 will do even better,
  18. Definitely smelled and tasted it.
  19. Wow, 1983 Megan was early 1980s hot.
