    I got to Austin in 1994 and Mad Dog and Beans closed in 1995 (according to the internet).

    And for the record, I've had burgers at Dan's, Counter Cafe (original location on Lamar), Hut's, Shady Grove, Sandy's, Dirty's (my kid brother used to work there), and Player's. And maybe other old school joints I'm forgetting. For whatever reason, I've just never made it to Top Notch. Even my wife thinks that's odd. She was born and raised in Rosedale (McCallum class of 1991), and whenever her parents took her out for burgers, it was Top Notch.
  3. Paxton will look into it.

    Actually, not at the current location. But, during law school in the 90s my apartment was behind the original Mas location off the I35 frontage road. So I've been to Mas.
  5. The (majority of voting) people of the State of Texas elected Donald Trump, as well as Greg Abbott, and Abbott has been and will always be completely aligned with and beholden to Donald Trump. So, changes in UT policy are in fact coming at the behest of the people of Texas through the State.
  6. There's a laundry list of other places I'm going to take out-of-towners with a local Austin flavor before Matt's, whether for just happy hour drinks or food. If I have guests who have never spent much time in Austin, they won't give two fucks about nostalgia. But if I take them to Matt's for dinner, they'll be saying on their way home, "I can't believe he took us out to eat that mediocre shit."
  7. I applaud this idea. We all need to make some tough decisions to send a clear signal to those mother fuckers!!!! Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!* *But I have tickets to the aggy game on Nov. 28 and will need to buy a lot of beer and BBQ for that, so, sorry guys, I'm out.
  8. @'stache, sorry if I missed prior discussions about this, but what are you hearing about possible head coaching candidates?
  9. Clayton Williams approves of this message.
  10. 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?
  11. No. 7 could strangle you with those calves.
  12. If Sark doesn't fix things, you may be free for a lot more Saturday protests in the next 1-2 years.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  16. Well, a little value. I just used the term "fatalistic certitude" in a legal brief.
  17. I dunno, the pickle looks like it might pair nicely with the ham.
  18. And every hour instead of bells it would play the theme song from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
  19. 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.
