  1. That was the worst police dog I've ever seen. Attacks the cop (relentlessly) and then runs past the perp into the woods, only to begin attacking the perp after he's already apprehended.
  2. Makes quidditch players look like fucking ironman triathletes
  3. This might be the thread winner
  4. There are some amazing things about Central Texas, many have been mentioned. The lakes, the food, the music, HEB, others. I spent the first 20+ years of my life there, and graduated from UT with all of my friends. All but one have moved out of state and are never looking back (including me). I miss those great things, and at one point we thought about moving back to central Texas, but those things aren't worth it anymore. Austin used to be a bit of an oasis from the rest of Texas, but not anymore. Hell, my sister is as "Austin-proud" as anyone I've ever met, and she's packing up and relocating to New Mexico. The politics, the heat, the business yes / citizen no stance...it's just become an increasingly bad place to live. We visit our families a couple of times a year and then get the hell out. Also surfing sucks, don't come out here and try it 😉
  5. This is no place for recruiting talk, sir.
  6. Notification on the Amtrak page. I think I found the cause of the heat-related delay.
  7. My parents passed away long ago, but my in-laws are pretty awesome. FIL grew up growing some wheat and mostly dirt on farm in Kansas and eventually became an international pilot for one of the big three American carriers. MIL beat cancer and is the rock of the family. They are always there for their kids and grandkids. Still it's weird to see them age. When my wife causally mentioned that our daughter asked us for money for the school's book fair, FIL just said "That's because y'all don't go to church enough." Uhhhh....
  8. Superhero is right, his friend is too nice. He's too nice to tell Superhero to fuck off and stop riding him for not attending some bullshit church event.
  9. A few years ago I learned that at South African rugby games, they have people delivering donuts to the crowd. Next level.
  10. I walked past a dry cleaners at 3am, and the sign read "Sorry, we're closed." You don't have to be sorry. It's 3am, and you're a dry cleaners. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open.
  11. I'm not sure if you're serious, but Hinckley was locked in a psychiatric hospital for 37 years prior to his release. Not exactly scot-free. And his delusions about Jodie Foster have been in long-standing remission. He's actually been psychiatrically stable for many years. He simply shot the wrong guy. If he had shot anyone but the president, he would've been released decades ago. I'm not a Hinckley apologist or anything, but I do like to correct misinformation about mental illness when I see it. Carry on with the critique of Donald, though, because that guy actually is irremediably mentally ill.
