  1. Which game? The one on Saturday? Or the 2024 game? Oh, what about the 1999 Cotton Bowl game when Ricky Williams ran all over Jackie Sherrill's team after winning the Heisman!?!? That game was awesome. Kwame Cavil caught a touchdown in that game. Remember him?
  2. No. 7 could strangle you with those calves.
  3. If Sark doesn't fix things, you may be free for a lot more Saturday protests in the next 1-2 years.
  4. Here's a link to the boundary map changes for all AISD schools: Link Bowie HS maps are on page 199. Looks like only small changes along the southeast boundary.
  5. Are you saying that busting an underground poker ring hasn't made you forget about the Epstein files?

    We're in the trust tree, right? I've lived in Austin since 1994 (minus 4 years in Dallas), and for several of them I lived relatively close by Top Notch, and my kids attended Lamar and McCallum. I've never been to Top Notch.
  7. Well, a little value. I just used the term "fatalistic certitude" in a legal brief.
  8. I dunno, the pickle looks like it might pair nicely with the ham.
  9. And every hour instead of bells it would play the theme song from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
  10. I look forward to getting rid of all the crap. When I moved into my wife's house last March, we both did a major purge at my old house and her house, getting rid of un-needed furniture and mounds of other stuff to Salvation Army, Goodwill, or curbside bulky trash service. It was a ton of work, but so worth it.
  11. This is our neighborhood. We still have a sophomore and freshman, but a lot of our friends have become empty nesters over the past couple of years and it doesn't seem like any of them want to move in the near future. Some of it is wanting to keep the home base for a while as the kids come back from college. Another part is continuing to live close to all of your friends who for various reasons all stay in the neighborhood even in the empty nest/retirement years. We have a big house that could be more than we want after all the kids are gone. But the mortgage is cheap, and even when its paid off, and we could take a large chunk of equity and put it down on something smaller, and maybe something closer to Central Austin, but the prices and property taxes will be crazier by then.
  12. It’s bullshit.
  13. InkaUwrong.
  14. Makes me feel really great sending another rising 16-year-old kid out on the roads next week.
  15. I'm pretty sure this is racist. It sounds like it could be racist.

    Tex Mex

    The Curra's avocado frozen margaritas slam hard in the paint. I usually like a very minimalist rocks marg with fresh lime juice and little else. But @dcbc, get you an avocado frozen.
  17. The fuck?
  18. I can only assume so. Maybe I'm not aware of how many private and charter school options there are in Austin these days, but it didn't seem to me that the private/charter source would have been a significant cause of declining enrollment in so many AISD schools given Austin's population explosion over the past two decades.

    Tex Mex

    I've always had a great meal at El Dorado, though haven't been in the restaurant in a while. But we've recently put it the rotation for ordering in, and even when delivered it's really damn good. It's just going to be a different experience than Y Mas, which is more rustic Tex-Mex. El Dorado is more interior Mexican, a little fancier, and you're more likely to see a decent contingent of Northwest Hills MILFs.
  20. John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness still freaks my shit out (and love the Alice Cooper cameo).
