    What year did they take it away from the driver? 'Cause I know growing up it was okie dokie to have a cold one between your legs while puttin' down the road.

    Yep.  My father and his friends would tell you how far a destination was by how many beers it took to get there. 

  2. Is there a law against the excessive mark up of booze?  Fuck him, but he's entitled to set whatever price he thinks the market will stand.  It's our fault if we pay it.  There's plenty of good and great bourbon out there at reasonable prices.

  3. Lance did what Andy Fastow did at Enron. When someone figured it out or started asking the tough questions he went out of his way to ruin him/her, get him/her fired, etc. It's a special kind of shitty person who knows they are in the wrong and yet they go out their way to harm their accusers. I could forgive him if he just denied the doping and left it at that.

    The folks from Mobile to Pensacola would rather eat mullet than trout or redfish.  I guess it has a lot to depend on what the mullet are eating.  

    The first time I went to a seafood restaurant in Mobile I learned about the Monday fried mullet tradition.  I asked if it was really mullet or something that we Texans know as something else.  No, it's mullet and they love it.  I would never try it.

  5. Throwing down the bar bell as hard as you can after a lift. I was at the Fairmont-Austin hotel in early April and this moron in the fitness center didn't just drop it. Half way down he would throw it to the floor. People two floors down must have felt it.

  6. My HS was about 60% blacks and Mexicans

    This. No privates and one large high school for the town. 30% hispanic, 30% black and 40% white. There were poor farmer’s kids and a hand full of rich kids. Mostly very middle class. This was in the late 70’s. It doesn’t fit the modern national view, but everyone got along. We all played sports together from a very early age. Race issues/problems were nonexistent. Certainly no one here will believe it.

  7. If you’ve never followed Tiger live, it’s hard to appreciate just how dense the crowds around him are. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s often 10x more than any other group, PLUS there is usually a huge group of fans staking out the 1-2 holes in front of him.

    Yep. They act like bumper pads at the bowling alley.
  8. Still there.
    The bbq is fair, but the bacon, sausage, jerky, ham slug, etc. are great.
    We make the drive out there a couple of times a year but I'm already out west.

    This. I haven’t had the BBQ in years but when I’m nearby I get the bacon and sausage.
  9. Any ideas on how to kill a yellowjacket nest just under my second floor roof? We have tall ceilings and there are no windows nearby. The roof is not accessible without a very tall ladder that I don’t have. The nest is probably 35’ from ground level. Can a spray go that far?
