  1. 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.
  2. It’s bullshit.
  3. InkaUwrong.
  4. Makes me feel really great sending another rising 16-year-old kid out on the roads next week.
  5. I'm pretty sure this is racist. It sounds like it could be racist.

    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.
  7. 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.

    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.
  9. John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness still freaks my shit out (and love the Alice Cooper cameo).
  10. I guess all that hate finally burned him up.
  11. The dumbest guy in my fraternity got a degree in physics.
  12. One of my best friends is probably a bigger lib than I am, rarely wears team apparel, and doesn't talk about football that much anymore (though I know he still follows his alma mater closely every year), and occasionally I find myself saying, "Oh yeah, I forgot, you're an aggy."
  13. I mean, I feel that way in the early part of the week, but come Saturday I'm going to be sitting on the couch with my burnt orange shirt holding a beer in a burnt orange koozie cheering on the Horns, all reserving the right on Sunday morning to bitch about the team, the coaches, the players, the play-calling, the training staff, the kids that bring the players Gatorade bottles during a break, and how Mack Brown fucked us in 2013.

    Shit, I haven't been to El Patio in over 15 years, I bet. Better than Matt's.
  15. Here’s where we are, our season goal is now dousing our head coach with a vat of mayonnaise.* *Don’t even say it, you sick twisted fucks.

    Second on Curra’s. And if a cool neighborhood setting is any factor, Hyde Park has it better than the other suggestions.
  17. How is any of that going to help you at the horse track?
  18. We should accept the compact, ignore the conditions, and use the grant money on NIL.
  19. Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, start.
  20. Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Bob Stoops . . . I don't care who's in the Epstein files. Release them and let the cards fall where they may.
