  1. Well, that an we are 3 pages in and I've not seen a single Pic of Angie. This place is really going to the dogs.
  2. So I grew up in the hood and had some high school friends that weren't exactly law abiding. One of the folks, James, ended getting caught for a home burglary as I was heading off to college. (One of the theives bought a used Porsche 911 with cash that had slight burn marks from opening the safe they took out of the house. Yes, really, and he turned everyone else in.) In Huntsville, unbeknownst to me, James upped his game. At one point, while working in Austin, he stopped by with a "co-worker". (He made regular trips from San Antonio back to South Carolina, where he was living but stopped in Dallas to "see friends".) I was pretty sure he was running coke or meth brought in from Mexico. Basically a mule. At this stop by, at my work, in Austin, he took me to the back of a van he was driving to show me something. It was large bags fulls of hundreds. I told him I wish he hadn't show me that.... About 3 months later someone in our mutual "network" informs me that James died of a cocaine overdose. That checked the box for me. I was very sad at the loss but it made sense.... until... The FBI field office in Austin called me, asked me if I knew James and then asked me to come in for a chat. Yeah... I agreed, and was too stupid not to get a lawyer first. I showed up and it they were shocked to learn I left work, where I worked and that I was a Texas grad. I guess they just assumed I was a criminal buddy. They then asked me if I knew about James ODing. Asked if knew what he was doing and why the trips to San Antonio. I said I guessed it was drug transport, but I never asked and never wanted to know. He and a crew were breaking into banks in San Antonio at night, going through the roof. They were looking for the "buddy" James was with when he met me. Basically ended up cutting me lose when I explained my distant relationship back from High School. I won't ever defend James' choices, but he was never cruel or mean to anyone. He was a thief, which is bad, but he wasn't evil, just a criminal. RIP homie.
  3. I lose my touch man.
  4. This immediately came to mind. It has always been... an interesting challenge.
  5. They were 15 ft long... but you couldn't see the traffic until the on ramp ended because the pillars. So... 1 ft in total.
  6. Outside of some very specific famous roads, 410 in LA and 40 through Nashville just south of downtwon are only 2 that come to mind. A lot of that might be surrounding area on 410 though. Outside the US probably Autoban. Going to the Sun Road, Bear Tooth Pass and Washington 20, but again like 410 surrounding likely creates my delusion. I knew it immediately before even starting the video.
  7. Pffft. Early 90s they shot in the same building as Raw Time hosted by Dave who prompted local bands, had them perform on his show and had a relationship with several live music venues and got the ones he liked shows on 6th. Cichlid was a curious fish obsessed guy who had a show with what I recall was a smoking hot female co-host and Alex was doing his shtick there too. Yeah, 1990s Austin Public Access could be it's own thread, probably is somewhere. Edit - found this list on Reddit Show With No Name The Reel Deal Alex Jones (when he was just a crazy local yelling about fingerprint scanners at the sheriff's office) The Atheist Experience Ol Bitty/Clown Time Magic Video Capzeyez Kevin Booth's random videos What's On Your Mind w/ Granny Perry Logan Sail Hatan Mystic Kids Fun Time Catharsis https://youtu.be/FjuqkpAMjLk?si=NDLA3AAvP4ZtKsbr /thread derail
  8. Look carefully at the fuck stick facing the camera on the right. Carefully. Because he sure as fuck isn't. That guns a low rest. NOT low READY. The barrel might not be directly pointing at his hero buddy's leg, but it's very close if not. 1) All guns gun are always loaded. (Check) 2) Never point your gun at something/someone you're not willing/want to destroy/injure/kill (check) 3) Never put your finger on the trigger until your firearm is down range on target. (CHECK) 4) Confirm your target (I guess check???) Those are the 4 fundamentals of gun safety and in the process of not protecting innocent people during and active shooting, that fuck head is violating all of them. I'm not anti-police, nor anti-gun but I'm sure as fuck anti dumb fucking cowards with guns.
  9. Anything John Cusack, including Say Anything. Anything Billy Bob Thorton.. mmmhmmm. Anything John Hughes Anything movie John Goodman is in. Anything with Penelope Cruz, particularly Open Your Eyes (which is better than Vanilla Sky) and Jamon Jamon because I'm a pervert. Am I doing this wrong? I know there are some good movies in that mix above and some great ones, but they aren't all winners.
  10. Holy shit. Afterhours... BBS, based in Austin Texas. Angry gay owner with serious drug problems and angsty control issues. Wow... that's the best comparison I've ever seen. It's insanely accurate regarding Elon.
  11. Here's what gets me about the entire story, and why I know the principle antagonist is a complete fucking idiot. Essentially, this ass clown had free rent and living space in a mid-tier hotel in Manhattan... for life, or at least the foreseeable future. A place that is across the street from Madison Square Garden and a short walk to the train, plenty of fast food, a few coffee shops that look good and a couple of Walgreens. He finds a remote working job, doesn't have to pay a lot and his man does the same, they're living a madly cool life in Manhattan and making good money. On fucking easy street. And he has to go and fuck it all up by pressing his dumb ass luck. Fuck that guy!
  12. Let's just pray that our forthcoming space overlords, given the road map to our domination by us, don't show up to take over earth with 2 turn tables and microphone.
  13. I manage the people who repair the robots that mine for Lithium. Got a video to prove it. I'm a people person and AI says I'm good, so I'm good.
  14. Rhode Island is way off. Redneck state. Tennessee and Kentucky should be flipped. Otherwise great stuff.
  15. What happened to Austin 420 Sea Bass and Vintage Clothing Futures discussions?!? This is why we can't have nice things.
  16. No man, the next fusion is re-domesticated high-end sports wear imported from 3rd world countries. All that gear that ends up in Africa and far reaches of South America will be re-acquired and brought back to the US. The money spent on the purchase will help support impoverished peoples in economically challenged countries. To not pay $300 for the 2009 Texas Longhorn National Champions hat procured from Sudan will hurt the poor Sudanese children that would have otherwise been fed for a year. Get with it man!!!
  17. Yeah, the evidence as I recall really put her at the ring leader of the operation. It's been a while though. She's been out a while.
  18. Asheville NC, Knoxville TN, Lexington KY, Wilmington, NC, Chattanooga TN. That's as close as I've seen in my travels.
