Tell Me About Texas a&m
One of the earliest aggie jokes I remember: Q: What’s the best thing that ever came out of College Station? A: Highway 6.

Get fucked Sacklers
Of course the question is whether it’s enough, but if the Supreme Court affirms the Second Circuit’s decision, the Sacklers will be paying $6 billion to settle the claims.

Kissinger :: 100
Interesting post. I assume you know that, speaking of Nobel Peace Prizes, Kissinger did receive the Nobel Prize for peace.

Getting old sucks
Yep. I immediately asked to be put back under. It was my dreams just before waking —I can’t recall details but it was like I was in paradise. I’m due for my next one in 2024 and I’m actually looking forward to it. It’s propofol, I believe.

JFK Assassination 60 years ago today. Where were you?
This is true but I don’t see why it’s so hard for people to grasp. The famous assassins, or would be assassins, of key figures since 1968 (RFK, MLK, Ford, Reagan, JPII) were obscure people.

The Caine Mutiny Court - Martial
I liked it and it is well acted, but it is light years from the Bogart, Ferrer, and MacMurray film. And IIRC they left out my favorite line when Ferrer, after throwing his drink in Keefer’s face, offers to wait in the lobby if Keefer wants to fight him. If the line was in the film it wasn’t nearly as memorable as when Ferrer delivered it.

JFK Assassination 60 years ago today. Where were you?
Exactly. The first time I drove the route was my first OU weekend as a freshman. I was shocked at how close Oswald was to the motorcade.

JFK Assassination 60 years ago today. Where were you?
Damn, some of you guys are really old. And some of you are still wet behind the ears. I was 16 months old when he was assassinated. Obviously don’t remember it. But I do remember the assassinations of 1968 when I was 6.

The Crown (netflix)
I liked the first half of Season 6. I’ve watched The Queen with Helen Mirren several times and The Crown down plays, or doesn’t really address, Tony Blair’s role in convincing QE to make her tardy statement. The actress playing Diana did a fabulous job.

Iceland about to get its shit wrecked?
What to Know About Iceland’s Volcano Eruption and Possible Flight Disruptions - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Most recent article I could find. Seems like it's not as dire as once feared even if it does erupt. They don't even expect flight delays if it erupts. I knew Iceland had a bunch of volcanos, but not 130 of them with most of them active. It's just a matter of time.

2023 Annual Thread of 3 Putting
With hunting season on and other fall activities, golf is often on the back burner. But in Houston this can be a great time to play. Got 18 in yesterday as the rain started on the 17th hole and it was near perfect for walking. Overcast and around 65 degrees and light wind. Shot an 83 that could have been a 76 but for a double and 5 or 6 lip outs.

tipping scenario
This. It also gets interesting with wine. Some wine geeks will order $1000 bottles at Pappas. Does that deserve a $200 tip per bottle? The opinions are all over the place but I think most wine people would either tip a lower percentage on wine, or tip 20 (or higher) percent with a cap of say $200 per bottle.

Chili w/o beans
Still solid. Just add more chile powder and cayenne to taste.

Band of Brothers
Yep. I can watch it on HBO Max or whatever it’s called now any time, but when I’m surfing channels before the UT game and come across BoB I have to watch it.

Band of Brothers
It’s on now on AMC. My tradition is to watch it during the Memorial Day weekend but I can’t pass it up.

Peter Zeihan has written several books on geopolitics. His work is well researched and he's not simply regurgitating talking points of one team even though he may not have included citations in the video. His book Disunited Nations is very well done and I'm about to read his latest: The End of the World is Just the Beginning. I don't necessarily agree with all of his conclusions, but I think he's right more than he is wrong.- Post a pic that makes you lol
Talk to an ER doctor or nurse and it’s hilarious what people do with their bodies and what people stick into their bodies.- Post a pic/gif/tweet that makes you say "very cool"
Part of the change at Schlitz in the 70’s was to use rice as the adjunct grain. The new CEO at Schlitz was from AB which uses rice. Loyal beer drinkers could tell the difference instantly. I was around 15 when the change occurred and I could easily tell that it was different and not in a good way.- What is the point of prayer

Will do. My dad was a Schlitz distributor in the 60’s, 70’s and during the down fall in the early 80’s. I drank a lot of Schlitz growing up. There was always a keg on tap at my house. Glorious times.- LSU @ Alabama- CBS

You probably are too young, but you missed out on Wahoo McDaniel, Terry Funk, Mil Mascaras and others.- What is the point of prayer
My experience as well and I’ve known many of them. One of our brand new young lawyers is Morman. He’s a great guy. And my late father’s best friend in the Navy was Mormon. They had a life long friendship and my father never spoke better about another person. - Sustainable living
