  1. Reminds me of when I took my oldest to SeaWorld back in 1998 and caught 80's hit band Survivor at the Nautilus amphitheater at like 2 in the afternoon.
  2. Enjoyable game. Good start to the season. Would watch again.
  3. Also, Irish blood vomits.
  4. ..and will create much furor in the land.
  5. Holy shit. That is good. That Jamie Foxx guy should go into entertainment or acting or something.
  6. ..or an oldie but a goodie.. .."This bill marks a giant step forward in the treatment of the insane gambler....harumph "
  7. This is what made Reagan such an effective candidate. Couple that with the late late 70's stagnation in the economy, hostage crisis in Iran, and a pretty successful track record in California wrt budget, backlash against 60's era policies, and contrast to Carter's intellectual measured responses to the shit sandwich he was given.
  8. Ah yes, the Dr. Gillespie killings.
  9. I took a spin on the Walnut Creek hike and bike trail yesterday after the rain stopped There is nothing like the smell of dead and burnt grass that has had a fresh soaking. The whole ride smelled like I was under a bridge I guess it's the little things.
  10. For those of you that got zero rain, remember that this is not over and you could get 3 times what you have already gotten.
  11. People with glass Gohmert's shouldn't throw stones. Sucks we can't even make fun of Florida anymore, let alone Wyoming.
  12. Nobody really cares. Just a slow news day, although I have heard big things happen on Tuesday's.
  13. That is not the pathetic man we are looking for.
  14. All of your passports are belong to US.
  15. Back in the day I was a budget analyst for Texas Mutual and as such, had to review the losses in death workers' comp claims. Most of it was pretty normal stuff and as a habit I stayed clear of the photos on the imaged files that they gave access to. However, I remember one case that the claims department refused to image due to the sensitive nature of the death, so I had review the hard copy of the file. Usually they kept any photos at the back of the file in a photo sleeve, but when I opened this one they were all loose at the front and fell out on the floor and my desk. In the process of reorganizing them, the first few I saw were of the area where the incident occurred which was a service elevator at an airport. So I got kind of sloppy and thought this was all just going to be area photos with some blood. Unfortunately that was not the case and I ended up seeing photos of the deceased who was crushed by an elevator and had his heart explode up and out of his throat area. No doubt a quick death, but shit. I wrote their asses up for poor file management.
  16. Lee Atwater, former RNC chair and Bush I crony witnessed the death of his toddler aged brother. Mom was working up some southern vittles in the Presto fry baby on the kitchen counter. Baby brother pulled the freyer down and received fatal burns.
  17. That FBI guy is the real hero and patriot.
  18. They make some mean dumplings too. I have only eaten there once, and it was a tasty meal, but I could not imagine what it would do to my body if that was a regular deal.
  19. Kind of. It is a small sticker, about half the size of a business card. Cool logo too. Not actual size.
  20. True. My kids are competitive rock climbers and I am leery that my "USA Climbing" sticker on my camper shell might be misconstrued as some kind of secret right wing ahole badge that would invite either vandalism or act as an unwanted GQP conversation starter. Gotta support the kids though.
  21. Get you some Firestone 500s to go that, just to be sure. FYI reference to Firestone 500s, a tire recalled back in the 1970s due to poor design and manufacturing causing blowouts and shredding.
  22. The spinning reel is my go to for throwing a popping cork. I have tried to throw the cork with a bait caster, but being in a kayak, half drunk, and fighting the wind and the wonky cork set up was always too frustrating. I obviously don't need any kind of flouro for the connection, so I just tie the braid straight to a quick connect and clip on the cork set up...but I digress. A spinning reel in the $30-$50 range is just fine for him as a present at this age. I have a couple in that price range that have served me well so I can spend my money on my top water bait casters. I back the spinners with mono connected with an Alberto knot. 12lb mono to 20lb braid with 6-8 twists. Much better than mono.
  23. Day 19 of 22 day junket to Norway. Temps are still awesome here..not looking forward to going back to Austin hellscape
  24. Can confirm central Europe is fucked. Flight to Frankfurt was one hour late. Connecting flight to Oslo was canceled and rescheduled 7 hours later. That flight was one hour late. 3 of 4 checked bags did not make it to Oslo. We filled out online reports for missing bags and never talked to a live person until the delivery guy called us....3 days later, the day before we were to leave Oslo for Bergen. Spent first two full days in Oslo shopping for clothes. Wife was a nervous wreck even though we had carry on contingency items. This is a 3 week trip all over the country and we needed specialty gear and climbing equipment as well. Also, Frankfurt customs had a 2 hour line. We would have missed that flight anyway, even if it wasn't canceled.
  25. In Bergen, Norway today. Took the train from Oslo through the mountains to get here. I can verify it is awesome not being in Texas right now. Suck it surly.
