    Well ... damn. I'm sorry that you don't like the name but there's about 10 million words worth of Texas history sweat equity and close to a million social media followers built into it. Do you have a better name for a cocktail whose ingredients all come from Texas?



     

    hope it works out, best of luck. The world itself is very subjective and finicky and the spirits/mixology/hospitality might be that to the umptenth. It's not for me, best of luck

    1) Traces of Texas is Hornius Emeritus' very VERY excellent Insta handle.

    2) There's nothing pretentious about it at all. It's just awesome photos/stories of the things that make Texas the great state that it is.

    3) Even though it's not at all pretentious, we're talking about cocktails culture, which is inherently pretentious, so even if it were, it'd fit right in. 

    4) You know what is lame and pretentious? Offering an unsolicited and unnecessarily aggro opinion on a subject/drink on which you're completely uninformed.

    5) Maybe go ahead and get fucked? 

    it doesn't mean I have to like the name for a drink or think it's a great name for a drink, he's a great photographer and what he's doing here is fun and fine and all but it's unlikely to light the mixology world on fire. Hope it does if that's his goal. 

    I like how the internet and or Surly is the home for offering an unsolicited and unnecessarily aggro opinion until someone gets their feelings hurt.

    We've been told for years now how corrupt Ukraine is. 

    who has been saying this and who have they been saying it to?

    no need to go off and besmirch Tangerines.

    Proud Surly Dad moment last night.

    My daughter’s basketball team played Anderson. She’s a sophomore and has moved back and forth between Varsity and JV depending on roster needs due to COVID, and last night she was on JV, which was good because there she starts and gets more playing time than on Varsity. More opportunity to improve so she’ll be even better next year when she’s on Varsity, I keep telling her.

    Because of COVID cases, McCallum starters played the entire game with no subs, while Anderson was constantly rotating players. McCallum was down 10 at one point, and I thought Anderson might pull away for a blowout. But McCallum fought back, and my daughter made the game-tying shot in the final minute to send it into overtime.

    Then, she hits the go-ahead shot with eight seconds left in overtime. And then, she blocks Anderson’s last-second shot – from a player that had been lighting it up for them all night – to seal the win. After the game, she walked all the way across the gym to give me a big Dad hug, and I could feel the joy and elation from her.  Even better that it was against their rival. I’m still grinning the next day writing this.

    [And I stayed for the Varsity game, in which Anderson kicked the ever-living shit out of our girls, so even better that my daughter played the JV game.]

    Go Big Mac!
