  1. While I love George's and Sammy, never thought their chicken fried steak was great, preferred the gizzards.  Griff's is great, huge slab of meat, always fresh, perfectly battered.  I usually did greens as a side to balance the onion rings

    An impossible movie to make, IMO, as it is the greatest work of fiction in the Western canon and actors don't have the skills to translate such depth and transcendence. IMO.

    There is a reason why BM and A Confederacy of Dunces have never been made.

    My CSB.  Tommy Lee Jones  (an intermittent family friend) tried writing a screenplay for Blood Meridian.  An impossible task, I agree, especially for an actor tackling his first script.  With his usual hubris, Tommy Lee thought he was up to the task, and he truly loved the book.  The script remains a work in progress.

    Pretty sure we've discussed this in the past, but who's been here on Vickery?

    This is my go to weekend breakfast taco joint.  I have not tried anything else, but it all looks good

    I'd play with Trump and talk or jingle change during his backswing and walk all over his line on the green. I think I'd also pull a Connery Bond thing from GOLDFINGER and bust him for playing the wrong ball.

    If someone could photoshop Trumps head on Goldfingers body would be awesome, with some minion as Odd Job

    I'm really enjoying this show.

    Did Paramount just not bother marketing it?  The only thing I've seen is a billboard that was so bland I didn't give it a second thought.  Only reason I watched the show was because of this thread.

    csb/ I was invited to a party at Evans' Beverly Hills house a year or so after The Kid Stays in the Picture.  Buddy of mine worked for Sirius and they had just given him some kind of radio show, so they threw a party.  When we were walking up to the front door Jack Nicholson walked out and lit a cigarette.  He looked up and said "Fucking rain" (just started sprinkling) then flicked his cigarette and walked right back in behind us.

    It was cool poking around the house I saw in the movie.  Evans was swarmed with people so never got to speak to him, unforunately. Only odd thing I recall was Dick Van Patten giving the primary speech about Evans, how great he is, yadda yadda.  I thought, Could there be a more polar opposite personality to Evans, the dad from Eight is Enough?

    Apparently they've been very close friends for some time.  Go figure.

    Read The Kid Stays in the Picture.  Van Patten was quite the poon hound in his early years.

    I bought a pair of alligator Lucchese boots 20 years ago.  Now as I am older, my feet are wider and the boots can't be stretched anymore.  Went to the Lucchese store at The Domain last week and got sized for the right width.  Did not have the color ostrich I wanted, so they got another store to ship to my house.  Fed ex arrived next day.  Very happy with the new boots and the customer service.

     

     

    So what are you doing with the old boots, and what size are they ?

    We bought a Japanese maple tree from these folks, they delivered, planted, and suggested how to care for it in the first growing season.  Enjoyed doing business with them and would recommend if this is something you have given consideration to.

    I also recommend Metro Maples.  Great resource and it is fun just to look around their lot.

    Pretty shocked (guess I shouldn't be) that Tim O'Hare trounced Betsy Price in the R primary for Tarrant County judge.  O'Hare is toxic - he pushed a lot of anti-Hispanic measures as mayor of Farmers Branch, and when he ultimately failed there he moved to Southlake and reinvented himself as founder of the PAC that caused all the issues for Carroll ISD there (well documented in the 'Southlake' podcast).  He sent out mailers touting his support of Trump and painting Price as a flaming liberal (which is far from the truth) - and it clearly worked.  Given his support in Colleyville/Southlake/etc I doubt his D challenger will be able to beat him despite her support in Fort Worth.

    This is a dangerous sign.  A solid/real/rational conservative (Betsy Price) is trounced by a party activist who plays out the CRT tropes and fellates Trump and Cruz.  None of his issues are the purvey of the county judge, but he doesn't care.  He has no clue how to govern

    i still to this day would like to know how one grabs pussy. I mean, I've seen some meaty lips in my day, but even then there wasn't much to 'grab'.

    You forget how tiny his hands are,  I'm sure Stormy'a lips were quite a load for him to handle

    Fixed 4x Weaver?

    257 Roberts is a great whitetail round.  Mine does have a 4x Weaver.  I'm old school, but prefer the old weaver or leupold fixed scopes.  Trying to find a 6x leupold now for my Browning 06
