  1. Pete Hegseth: "I'm going to hang Mark Kelly by a fucking yardarm!" Daniel Kaffee: "Yardarm? Sherby, does the Navy still hang people from yardarms? Lt. Sherby: "I don't think so." Daniel Kaffee: "Pete, Sherby doesn't think the Navy hangs people from yardarms anymore."
  2. They'll say it was an immaculate conception.
  3. I just say it's for Abe Froman.
  4. Not a criminal lawyer, but "without prejudice" means subject to potentially re-filing, but then I understand there's a statute of limitations problem?
  5. You mean after the shooter ends up dead in his jail cell?
  6. Keller's recipe also calls for clarified butter, but looks like just over the skin.
  7. I can't speak as intelligently on the THC debate, other than my continued view that our state leadership sucks donkey taint. But I do have personal experience with synthetically produced narcotics, namely Delta 9 and most recently, Kratom. Not to hijack a thread with family trauma, but last year my stepson went into rehab after a Delta 9 addiction helped throw him off the rails his first year of college. My wife and I read up on synthetic Delta 9, which for some kids with ADHD (like him) and other related mental developmental disorders, it can really fuck up your brain wiring in a way that natural pot does not. And most recently, he relapsed with Kratom. And what's the similarity with the two? He was able to freely buy both in most convenience stores in town. While Kratom, like THC, is a naturally-occurring plant, its synthetic derivatives can produce symptoms and resulting addiction very similar to opioids. It's just bad bad shit, and reports of overdosing on Kratom are growing. While my stepson has some personal accountability in all this, I have growing anger over the fact that stores can legally peddle this crap to 18-year-olds. So as much as Dan Patrick's THC crusade may have been yet another annoying waste of time our MAGA controlled state government, I'm increasingly in favor of laws to curb or ban over-the-counter sales of this synthetic bullshit. tl;dr - Dan Patrick and Kratom can both get fucked.
  8. I always thought the aggy comments on t-shirt fans was a complete lack of awareness. My former in-laws live in deep East Texas and I had to make the drive there a few times a year for family gatherings. I consistently saw folks wearing aggy shirts at gas stations who I was damned sure never set foot on a college campus as a student, let alone the one in College Station.
  9. It's also the fan behavior at the game that is such a stark difference from anything else I've experienced. Sure, we hate OU. But in all my times at the Cotton Bowl, they're really not that much different than Texas fans. Really passionate about the game, mostly non-threatening shit-talking with some drunk morons on both sides, no utterly goofy cheers or behavior. aggy's just fucking weird. Like J.D. Vance weird (#noCR). Weird cheers with weird vocabulary, much of it on the cringy side. There's really no fanbase that comes close that that kind of game-day behavior, and that uniqueness is nothing to be proud of.
  10. Good tip. Thanks, man. It'll be in a garage fridge where we mainly store beverages.
  11. Had a great time at the Arkansas tailgate. The burnt ends were fantastic as usual, and the whole-hog pulled pork was a hit. Brisket went full Mexican and clawed away the face meet and ate the eyeballs in front of the wives. They were mildly disgusted. I was quite impressed.
  12. Not doing anything particularly adventurous with my turkey this week, except I'm going to try a method in a Thomas Keller recipe that calls for air drying in the fridge after an overnight brine for 24 hours before roasting. It's supposed to produce a crispier skin. Anyone ever try that?
  13. That's what Sark did. Accepted the Texas job and then kept his OC duties at Alabama for the championship game.
