  1. In an mmmbop-she was gone. Badu.Yeah.
  2. I heard Reverend Walker preach in Brownwood in 1985 at a regional UMC convocation. He was spectacular. I was devastated when this story broke. Feet of clay etc…,
  3. I got my picture made with the MIckster at a character breakfast-they let me put my hand on his shoulder. Bra Strap.
  4. CSB alert. My sister-in-law is a picker/antique dealer. She spotted an antique Buddy Lee doll in a football helmet, gold pants, white jersey with a maroon T on the front, and leather helmet at an estate auction a few years ago. The deceased owner of the doll was an elderly (late 80's) veterinarian. Being a smartie, she reckoned that the doll must have some relationship to Texas A&M since the preponderance of vets in Texas are aggy. She waited all day in the chill central Texas February for a chance to bid on the little feller. Her plan was to bid up to $300. When the doll soared past that point, she picked up her things and prepared to leave. On an impulse, she turned and shouted "$400". The other bidder tipped his hat and exited the auction. She knows that aggy is a little different, and was counting on that weirdness to make a profit. Five days later, she sold the doll on Ebay to somebody in Tokyo for just under $8000. There had been a spirited back and forth between the two bidders-one in Tokyo, Japan, the other in Conroe, Texas. (imagine that). The doll apparently dated back to around 1900, when the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas first fielded a team. You guessed it-they sported a big maroon "T" on their jerseys.
  5. Deleted tweet of dead shooter until confirmed. Fuck him, anyway.
  6. True confession time-I was a youth director my own self during my college days. I could sing a little, play a little, knew my way around the scriptures, was nice-enough looking and was eminently trustworthy. I spent two summers doing it-1976 and 1977. The first year was at a smaller panhandle church, the second was a larger church in a bigger town. It was the easiest money I ever made. Everything was Jesus people this and Serendipity that. I had free housing, made good money, and it was air-conditioned. I remember myself as being quite good at it. No children or animals were abused. Was already pretty well off the market with the prettiest girl around(also a college student) so it never was much of an issue. It was excellent training for medical school which started in the fall of '77.
  7. Thank God it wasn't a chimp. They'll fucking wreck you.

    2023 NFL DRAFT

    I met Tony Dorsett a few million years ago. He listed at 5'11, but we stood shoulder to shoulder and eye to eye. And I'm 5'8". Deuce will be fine.

    They are building an army of extraordinary magnitude.
  11. I got two tickets in Dimmitt one weekend so this hits cth. Besides, it was cth.
  12. This was my most recent fortune cookie from Panda. A bad omen I think.
  13. Ya I tried to rank them, too. I just didn't know where to start.
  14. I’m sure I missed this somewhere, but what did RT end up getting paid this year? Shirley more than his assistant wages. He got a $50,000 per month raise through April-up to $800000-but was there a little lagniappe for a job well done?
  15. Keep the XFL-just make it Texas Six-Man.
  16. Low hanging fruit-you beat a bunch of us to that banana.
