    Lost was much better than thus. Lost wrapped up nicely minus the unnecessary purgatory half season mixed in. This is just crap ridding on the coattails of Dark. Better off rewatching Dark.
  2. Thank God Surly doesn't have that problem.
  3. ...so bone spurs?...no CR.
  4. Jacalitos on Oltorf was pretty good. Is it still around?
  5. CSB: Not me, but my twin brother. Back before he got kicked out of the school of business circa late 1980's: In his first or second semester he took macro economics 302 and got a solid C. A semester or two later he thought he was signing up for micro economics but accidentally registered for macro economics 302 again and took the class without recognizing that all of the material was somehow familiar, but the second time around he made a D, which according to university rules at the time, covered up the C he made earlier. So he had to take it a third time and "reearned" a grade of C. FYI: Jiggy-Z graduated with a 3.5, but did earn on D along the way in Cost accounting, but that was the semester I knocked up my girlfriend. Retook and made an A. Yes, a couple of real intellectual giants we were.
  6. Now that I look at it, it is a ways over to Heavenly. Travel time will cut into drinking time. Might check out the casino on one of our days off. Thanks.
  7. Me(55) and my oldest son (34) (I have written about him and his exploits here and on TOS) will be heading up to Tahoe Jan 5 -12 and staying with a friend of mine who has a place in Carnelian Bay a stones throw from Garwoods which is about equidistant from North Star and Palisades, so we will be hitting up those two places. We have 2 day Epic Passes and 2 Day Palisades passes. My son hasn't skied in 20 years, but was pretty good back in the day with very minimal experience. He was bombing the blues all day long after a brief lesson from my twin brother. Wondering if we should take a look at Heavenly? My friend thinks it's more of a place for locals and he is doing the driving, so I wonder how much I should insists if Surly says go v. other two places. The last time I went skiing was back in march at the above two places after a 20 year break. The mornings were OK, but my knees got sore in the afternoon slush. I was onto the blues by day two, but they stopped being fun as the knees got worse. I'm doing lots of twist lunges, squats, one leg balance exercises, and core work as well as hitting the bike to the tune of about 50 miles/week to try and avoid the knee pain, but am also wondering if a group lesson would also be a good idea? full day v. half day fro me and the boy/man. My friend would gladly teach us but he is snowboard only. He did a great job with my two teenagers(because they are too cool for skis) back in March on the snowboard teaching. We plan on hitting Garwoods on the 7th (my birthday 56) for dinner and a couple of Wet Woody's. Any recommendations for a middle aged skier with knee issues would be appreciated.
  8. Jolly Roger > Jolly Mensa.
  9. Has Luby's made list yet?
  10. Blues Brothers Half the movie is Jake and Elwood's religious calling/getting the band back together... ...the other half is band together at Ray's, Bob's, Palace hotel Ballroom, Maury's steam room, Jail.

    Don't waste your time. This show has no plot and no point. You'll see. I too was sucked in by the DARK pedigree. Now go party like it's 1989.
  12. Those of you that grew up in the 70's with those cars and later inherited the cars to drive in the 80's lived through a special kind of hell. My high school parking lot was littered with their corpses and kept the local tow guys in business. Although I am squarely in the time period, my brother and I dodged a bullet on that one: Mom drove a 73' Cadillac Sedan De Ville and dad had a '75 Ford Explorer truck ( Dad is a Ford man but always got the shitty colors because they cost less at the end of season-I guess. The '75 was oxidizing brown with orange, tan, black, almost red and white striping and looked like Sark's pregame suit from TCU.) Any way, the late 70's gas price increase hit and they downsized to a '79 Mazda Station wagon (the car my brother and I would learn to drive on) and a -you guessed it-brown -Ford Courrier pick up. We eventually picked up an 83' Toyota Tercel for my brother and I and dad got rid of the Courrier when gas prices receded. Mom got a '84 Lincoln Town Car. Dad got another Big Ford Truck in another shitty color. In college we replace Mazda wagon with brand new '86 Mazda B2000 bench seater with a standard which I ended up selling in 1997 to one of my employees and that truck is still working a ranch in Durango, Mexico. My dad's trucks were truly hideous. I can remember a metallic turquoise green/blue with tan detailing and a metallic light brown with red detailing. Those late 70's early 80's imports were small with small engines. I remember when I bought my first walk behind concrete saw and the engine was bigger than any of the the ones in my learner cars, but not by much, but then again it was a just a saw.
  13. I was really hoping thus was going to be good, given my experience with DARK. Not the case. All of the moving in and out of the portals was pointless and not even worth keeping track of, unlike DARK, where the cave portal stuff was critically important to the story line and much more connected to the character development and overall architecture. Started a rewatch of DARK last night to cleanse the pallet.
  14. Hair parted on wrong side and mustache is too whispy.
  15. Bud Light salutes you: Mr. overly trigger happy good play football cannon guy!!!
  16. Alex Jones? More like Tom Jones amiright.
  17. Surly will remember the dark times while at the pinnacle, on the way to the pinnacle and everywhere in between.
  18. Head coach timing has been less than optimal for Texas. Strong was about the best hire on the board. Franklin was douche, Muschamp was proving himself a fraud, Saban was a long shot and other qualified coaches were either locked up or unproven coordinators. Herman was pretty much the only guy we looked at, and at the time seemed like a solid hire. His 2nd year, things sure looked like they were on the up swing.
  19. Liking this game.
  20. Eastern Michigan. They SEC good.
  21. Wearing my old paper thin UCLA t shirt for the cause.
  22. 1000 pages of aggy misery. Wh1000p.
  23. I recall that the eagle Ford has some quakes too. The ones I remember were centered around Falls City about 10-12 years ago. They even showed up on weather underground.
  24. Well then, I guess you're up shit creek.
  25. I was a serious child.
