  1. Too much pressure on your elbows or your surgically repaired rotator cuffs?
  2. No. The deer are in on it, too. There’s something about that damn branch. I was last out there almost 6 weeks ago - wearing gloves - so you’d think my scent would have faded by now.
  3. That FU comes during physical therapy, lulz. How long was your recovery? IOW, how will it affect my Senior MMA fight schedule.
  4. My first reaction was the fuck you emoji. Glad I noticed that I tapped the wrong one.
  5. Dry mount him just like that. Give your grandkids nightmares.
  6. Well, back to the drawing board. Before I raise them to 12’, I need to confirm that elk can’t climb trees.
  7. This thread reminded me of a federal crime fighting agent who patrolled the US Army Corps of Engineer land around Lake Oahe in SD back in the 2000s. It’s against Federal law to collect artifacts of any kind on COE land, and he would use binoculars to observe people walking the shorelines (usually fishing) and issue citations carrying stiff fines if they picked up anything, even fishing lures. Almost no one caught was aware that they were doing anything wrong. It became such a problem that our US Senators (Tom Daschle being one) wrote a letter to the Corps. The agent was transferred. Crime skyrocketed. When I was a kid in the 60s, I would walk the shoreline during camping/fishing trips looking for spent .50 Cal casings left over from when they had fighter pilot training grounds in the area during WWII. For a grade schooler, finding those was cooler than anything. I did find arrowheads and pieces of pottery in a plowed field on a friend’s farm, though.

  9. Of my aches and pains, my shoulders are the worst. A few winters ago, I overworked them busting up ice with an extra heavy digging bar. I should’ve traded it in for a lighter bar by the time I reached my late 50s, but I was in denial (a common theme). My shoulders have never recovered, and the only way I can keep them from feeling like they will pop out of their sockets is weight lifting. Now that is getting more painful, especially if I take more than a few days off. My right shoulder is worse because of a torn rotator cuff that I never had repaired. I keep avoiding seeing an orthopedic surgeon because I’m afraid of what he’ll say (back to the denial theme).
  10. Pretty impressive for a stripper’s son.
  11. Do you think the people and institutions you wish to align with care that much about conference affiliation?
  12. I’ll back off my statement that almost every team is more attractive, but I’d still not put Texas in the upper echelon. If there are 3 tiers, Texas is in the middle, not knocking on either door. That comes with the territory of being an elite team, much like being an elite academic institution.
  13. I’ve eaten there. The chicken is legit.
  14. There are plenty of influences on children these days beyond their parents (too often parent). /no CR
  15. A few pages back, I posted Elk pics taken over a span of about one hour until some rambunctious young bulls decided they needed to fight my trail cams. I went to my land about a month later and reset the cams to almost 8’. This week I started getting pings that they were back, and sure enough, the cams were again of great interest. Looks like I might have to raise them higher: One of the boys took issue with a branch that I had left on the ground. He drug it off and placed it in front of the cam. Now, every time the wind picks up and a needle quivers, I get deluged with pings from pics being sent. I’ll just keep lowering the motion sensitivity until it takes a full grown ass elk dancing from 10’ away to set it off.
  16. I know this we will not go over well here, but every time I watch a VB match on LHN, the opponents* seem to have better eye candy. * They also lose, which may indicate a correlation.
  17. I knew I could count on a fellow ‘83 grad.
  18. My wife made the comment when we were at Magnolia Cafe c. 2000, surrounded by several tables full of UT coeds that the girls just didn’t seem to care about their appearance like they did in the 80s. I’m sure it’s gotten worse since then. P.S. - Apologies to UncleSonny.
  19. Those of you who were on campus in the early 80s may recall that Student Government had been eliminated years earlier. A group of students led by Paul Begala (yes, that Paul Begala) pushed to resurrect it. Of course Paul - wanting it for his resume - was the candidate for SB President. There was a campaign to put Hank The Hallucination from the Daily Texan cartoon Eyebeam on the ballot for President (or maybe as a write-in vote). Begala and company were so worried that they would lose to a fictional cartoon character/middle finger candidate that they had the rules changed. No one gave a shit about Student Government, but Paul got his resume padded.
  20. There’s one thing that I’ve never said (and I’ve said plenty) about how this whole black face/minstrel show and how it makes no sense. It was obviously written to poke fun at the President, and they were proud of it and wanted to introduce it to the masses. Why would then don blackface and sing a bastardized version that mocks uneducated blacks? And if they did, why didn’t that catch on instead of what became the school song? Oh, yeah. It’s not about what really happened. Duh.
  21. The students working on The Eyes will add this to their demands.
