Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
For less than that (seriously, the price on the website is $9,420) you can get a robot dog with a flamethrower. We are almost to the point of actually having sharks with lasers. Hell, those probably do exist in a DARPA aquarium somewhere.

Quick passport renewal
Does every county court house have a passport office? I just looked on the website for my county court house and did not see anything about a passport office. I live in a more rural county, so it would not totally surprise me if not every county court house has a passport office. I need to update my passport but I have no travel plans so this is not anything I need to do right away, but it is something I've been meaning to do and have been unable to overcome my inherent laziness.

With us entering the SEC....
Pretty sure Jordan Spieth is not a Commodore and pretty sure Nick Dunlap is not a Longhorn. Luke List is a Commordore.

With us entering the SEC....
Personally speaking, for me to give a shit about the other SEC teams (at least the ones outside of aggy and arky) then the SEC had better do a 9 game conference schedule and some sort of regular rotation so we see the other SEC teams on some sort of frequent basis. Hard to work up any kind of hate for a team if Texas will only face them once every 12 years and will come to Austin once every two decades.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Went with a frozen pizza for dinner. Pulled it out of the oven and cut it into 8 pieces. Turns out the amount of Cholula left in the bottle was only enough for 7 slices. Managed to push through the pain and consume the last piece.

Apey for Apiaries: a Surly Beekeeping Thread
Texas leading the way in number of bee colonies and it is not even close. Wait, does America suddenly have a record number of bees?

Songs About or That Reference Other Musicians
Don't think this one has been posted yet. Heard this the other day on Outlaw Country. I confess to not being familiar with Kimmie Rhodes. After hearing this I will make an effort to become more familiar with her work.

I did not know that... trivial stuff you just learned
This past Thursday the first ever tweet became old enough to vote. For some reason this fascinated me when I learned it.

Happy Gilmore is the quintessential Adam Sandler movie.
Necro bump. Searched and did not see anything anywhere else, so SIAP. According to Shooter McGavin, Happy Gilmore 2 supposedly in the works. Paige Spiranac doing some auditioning and throwing out cast suggestions on X.

From the bathroom, Corn Nation has thoughts. Maybe better suited for the Nebraska thread. Feel free to move if deemed appropriate.

News stories that remind you of Surly

Official "Fuck this stupid ass-commercial" thread
Is commentary on radio commercials allowed? The Zyppah commercials I hear constantly on the Sirius XM sports channels need to be nuked from orbit. Whomever decided that horrible New York accents was a good idea needs to be fucked in the ass with a rusty barbed wire dildo.

Songs About or That Reference Other Musicians
Scrolled back through this thread and am a little surprised that this song has yet to be mentioned. Then again, I don't think it was one of Joe Diffie's biggest hits. And might as well post this while on the subject of 90s country.

Official "Fuck this stupid ass-commercial" thread
Rancid Nyquil has some band name potential to it. Or perhaps album name potential. I like the turn of the phrase. I may have to add that to my repertoire.
