  1. It’s like asking water to stop being wet.
  2. I think OSU will win, so might as well win by 50 to pour the salt in the aggy loss.
  3. I hate both of these teams with the fire of a thousand suns.
  4. South Austin replied to 1978horn's topic in Food and Travel
    Gumbo wit potato salet whilst sweating out at Texas win against Michigan.
  5. Sounds like the drive thru cashier didn’t like the tone of your voice.
  6. Anyone know what imma just said?
  7. Trump could literally shit in their drinking water and they’d still support him.
  8. @ChiTownDoc knows a few 5 syllable words. But he had to go to med school for that.
  9. As a tribute to Rob Reiner, my wife and I watched When Harry Met Sally during the Christmas break. We hadn't watched it in years. It's still a masterpiece. I can't imagine how fun it must have been for the actors to make that movie with Rob.
  10. Knock yourself out, kid.
  11. I know the Citrus Bowl has some decent history behind what was a pretty good bowl game before the college football playoff. But now, with an expanded playoff format making these bowl games that much more meaningless, having the "Cheez-Its" sponsorship in the title of our bowl game is pretty damn deflating. The photo of the Cheez-Its sampling bar doesn't help.
  12. I recall first hearing the term "woke" somewhere in the middle of 2000 during the growing coverage of the Black Lives Matter movement, though I'm sure the term originated earlier than that. I don't remember reading anything that tried to define the term with some level of specificity. But I gathered from context that "woke" was simply at its core a modern term for awareness of and empathy toward demographics of the American population that had been systematically disadvantaged and discriminated against. Someone feel free to clarify or correct me. And then, yes, MAGA transformed "woke," along with "DEI," into shorthand for any organization, policy, or practice that dared discuss -- and remind white right wingers -- that still in America today there are minorities who are oppressed by our nation's socioeconomic systems. The term "woke" is more malleable, I guess. But I'm still baffled that the words "diversity," "equity," and "inclusion," either individually or used together, have become four-letter words for millions of Americans.
  13. I'm starting to wonder as well. I think the Eugene area had less rain and more sun than usual during my daughter's freshman year, and now this year the gray skies in the rainy season are more constant. She commented while home on winter break that she's gotten a little tired of this year's batch of rain. She still loves being at Oregon, but it seems like the weather is a bit more of a negative this year. We also had a conversation a few days ago about grad school and other plans after college, and she said she's thinking she might want to eventually live in Austin again. This was surprising to hear, given that she didn't apply to a single school in Texas, and my gay, liberal daughter had for some time expressed doubts about whether she would ever come back to Texas given the state's political climate (#nocloakroom). So maybe she's realizing the Pacific Northwest weather is not for her long term. And/or maybe she realizes how much she loves Austin (where she's lived her whole life), notwithstanding the greater state politics (again, #nocloakroom).
  14. It seemed touristy, but my wife and I loved grabbing a drink at the rotating bar at the top of the space needle. But it was a clear day in June, and I'm not sure it'll be the same experience in January. I recommended this earlier in the thread, but the Seattle Underground tour is really damn fascinating. https://undergroundtour.com/ Spend a couple hours a the Museum of Popular Culture. Stroll through the Pike Place Market, preferably in the morning before it gets too crowded. If you're renting a place that has a full kitchen, pick up some fresh fish and produce and cook dinner.
