2023 Masters
I’m guessing she knew she was on TV. She was very excited and happy.

How many of you carry ?
I’ve never seriously considered carrying but if it gets any worse in the Tanglewood area I might start carrying my wife’s S&W Shield.

Fat People
I don’t disagree that it’s different strokes for different folks. That’s cool. But it’s not weird for me, and I would say billions, to say that fat people are not sexually attractive.

2023 Rain Thread
I’ll be in Fredericksburg this weekend playing golf. I give it 100% chance we get rain in the Hill Country. Probably just enough to fuck up the golf.

Have you contracted Covid-19?
You hate a lot of people.

Fat People
Apparently it’s not the case, but I would think the carrot of more sex would be a motivation to not be fat. I’m my case, my (fit) wife of 34 years isn’t having sex with me at all if I’m fat. I suppose it might be different if she was fat, but then I wouldn’t want to have sex with her.

6 yr old bitten by unknown dog
It’s the OP’s choice on how to handle his child’s treatment, obviously. But no way in hell I would give my kid the rabies treatment on these facts.

Hollywood has a new idea, Vertigo remake
Sure, let’s redo Rear Window and To Catch a Thief too.

Fat People
I don’t smoke so I just googled it and it said avg price is $8 per in US. If that’s low then I really don’t see how most people can afford a 1-2 pack a day habit.

Fat People
You also saved a lot of $$$$. Assume $5 per pack (currently about $8 per pack) that’s about $36,000. Hard to see how people of average means (not that that’s you) can afford to smoke.

Great movie. “The wedding is off.”

2023 Oscars Thread
Good post. But damn, I still hate your avatar for killing John Wayne. Long Hair was a huge POS.

Ski Season 2022 / 2023
Not just teens. I have a good friend with a 30 year old son who is pretty messed up with a brain injury from an accident a month ago. He was wearing a helmet. Not sure exactly what happened. Skiing/snowboarding can be dangerous but we still love it.

Yes, I think so.

Everything Everywhere All At Once
Last decade? Hell, I’m 60 and a decade is a blip. Some of the nutty or quirky films I’ve enjoyed are Nine Days, Napoleon Dynamite, Another Earth, Lost in Translation, Pulp Fiction, Edward Scissorhands, The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, Local Hero, Walter Mitty, Big Fish, and going way back, Trouble With Harry. I’m sure there many more I’m just not recalling. EEAAO was on again last night and I watched it from the beginning. I made it about 30 minutes and turned it off. Just not my thing.

High end kitchen appliances
I’m very happy with my Miele kitchen appliances. Our new construction patio home came with an all Miele kitchen. Nice design and 8 years in we have no complaints. The cooktop looks sort of puny compared to the larger range tops but it puts out the BTUs. Way better than our big six burner Thermador in our previous house.

Everything Everywhere All At Once
I usually like odd and quirky films but it was on one of my cable channels last night and I couldn’t last five minutes before changing channels.

Houston livestock show and rodeo
This. I work downtown and I always take the train. And the last two years the payment kiosk near the Rusk stop didn’t work so it cost nothing.

Colonoscopy
This. Many guys don’t dream or have any semi-conscious experiences when they are under or coming out of anesthesia. They just say they wake up with no recollection of anything. But I did dream and the dreams were wonderful. I’m actually looking forward to my next one in 2024. But if you do say something as you are coming out of unconsciousness it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. At least in my case, my dreams and occasional sleep talking are not a reflection of actual events.

2022-23 PGA Tour season
Yes, I know a few members there and I understood Crenshaw has a significant relationship (ownership?) with the club. Just not sure of the details and because he has a close relationship to the club I always assumed he designed the course. Because Surly loves precision, Coore & Crenshaw are the designers.

2022-23 PGA Tour season
I believe Austin Golf Club is a Crenshaw course. Supposed to be fantastic.

Your unpopular music opinions
Pre-Purple Rain Prince was an amazing R&B performer. Actually, it was more funk. I saw him at the Summit in Houston in the early 80’s before he became a global pop star and it is still one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen.
