Public service announcement to Houston Folks, like @billfromlaketravis, the Total Wine near the Heights has Weller Special reserve in stock. Some 750's and a few 1.5s. They're limiting it to one per customer, so I picked up a handle. I know it's not particularly special, but it also just isn't around a lot. I haven't seen it in 6 months or so at that Total Wine.

Connor Stroh is so bad that BO&W would suck Hayden Connor's dick every day for the rest of the season to have him back on the roster. -

Space-X branded cocaine? It wasn't a brand name, that was the address for delivery. -

I realize that much of your life likely operates solely as binary decision-making, but there is a whole universe between current Farce Manning and Biggeset Douche Bag QB of All Time. -

Only you would suggest our QB become more like Baker Mayfield. -

I mean, by my count, you've now written 2 dissertations. If I were a head coach, and I had a great relationship with 995ers, and shared info, there is still a 100% chance that under no circumstances would I tell Bobby, or Gerry, or fucking ANYONE other than the company line of "This will fix itself and the offense is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close." Because that's it, that's the message externally, while you fix shit internally. Some shit you just don't talk about outside the facility, no matter how good your relationship with a "journalist" is, generally. Because any other message gets out and then a player's parent hears it, tells his kid, who tells Arch, and then you're back at square one. Nope. I don't want to hear what Gerry and Bobby think the staff is doing, because it's 100% made up and irrelevant, and also for those guys guessing and putting out bad information does nothing but potentially sour my relationship with the staff, on top of seeing my point above and being further damaging to the player. "I heard they have Arch switching his pronouns so it's not actually him out there playing, it's someone else who can complete passes" would go over really well. If you trust that sark has that kind of proper advice for the QB, why don't you trust he's actually doing it and instead bleeding out over here dEmANdINg ANswErS? -

SureAboutThat.gif? This post is so long it could be one of mine. as for the rest of your post, what do you suggest the staff do to fix the yips? Act more serious to the media and say if he doesn’t come out hot this weekend he’s going to get the hook? Because I’m pretty sure the attitude sark is taking externally, and maybe internally, is about the only attitude that makes sense with a situation where the player is mentally pressing. heaping more pressure on the guy seems like a bad idea. Uou act confident and breezy, otherwise you’ve got not no shot at a reclamation. -

I understand your point of view, but this is a painfully naive under simplification of the kind of dynamic required to be a 995er while ALSO maintaining some level of access from a staff. -

You think you're funny, but when some of the truly stupid people on this website take this and start running with it as a plausible explanation, and pushing that on the rest of us, I'm going to blame you personally and tackle you and shave half your beard off at a tailgate. Mother fucker. -
Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
SydneyCarton replied to High Plains Drifter's topic in Daily Texan
Yes, but Walgreens and CVS are a lot closer. It's like voter suppression, the harder you make it for me to get a vax, the less likely I am to do it. -

Correct, Texas doesn't require a script YET, but if you don't answer that you have a pre-approved list of comorbidities, they will turn you away. -

I did this deal last friday, as well as adding a Pneumonia vax, since I've got asthma. Had the same response, for 24 hours I was fucking floored, and by Sunday I was pretty much fine. Shakes and sweats Friday night sucked balls. The pneumonia shot, Jesus...I got just that one in my right arm, and the nurse said "this definitely will be sore for a couple days." It felt like a fucking donkey kicked my arm by Friday night. It was so sore I couldn't sleep on that side of my body for 2 days, and it's now 5 days later and my arm is still slightly sore. Nuts. -
I buy these by the bulk when they're available, which in Houston is only a few months a year. And yes, they're usually $15 but you can get the 4 or 5 off at the register deals, it makes it great. I usually buy 3 or 4 packages and stick them in my storage freezer in the garage and break them out in sections. Outside of just using them as hot dogs, cutting them up and doing cajun flavored stir-fries is a favorite in our house.

2024 Texas GameDay Stadium Experience Thread
SydneyCarton replied to TrashMaster G's topic in Football
How was my response to you in any way an Ad Hominem attack? It was the literal opposite, with it starting with an explicit statement that the POST is stupid. Not you, the poster. This was your original post: In the context of this conversation, please tell us how we could have "built anything we wanedt" and not have sacrificed money that would be used for NIL, other athletic facilities, etc. "We could have built anything we wanted" is a child's answer, and using A&M, the poster child for being in a financial clusterfuck in their athletic department as an example of how to "do whatever you want" is a laughably poor position to attempt to defend. If you don't want criticism of the post, then why don't you illustrate how we could have "built anything we wanted" and financed it in a way that didn't involve boosters and didn't take funds from the athletic department that could be used for other things. I'm listening. -
