  1. I think focus needs to be made on your son’s temper. You talk about your bad temper, and how you handle it poorly, and you’re frustrated that your son is starting to have similar blowups and issues with his temper. IMO, he’s modeling right after you, and he already has your genetics. I think it would be helpful for BOTH of you to work through your temper/anger issues, and him to see you doing it, and you to try and talk him through his. 
     

    “do what I say, not what I do” will only work for so long, as you’re now seeing, imo.

    I think we know that this won't stop him from spending big on Tech but at least it's someone who is pro-spending on NIL

    Yes. Two people in charge who have a vested interest in kicking Texas in the balls is a great thing.

    All pretty good takes except for Burger Joint. What in the ever living fuck have you ever found redeeming there? I keep trying to like it because it’s the closest burger place to my house, but every burger I’ve ever had there has been under seasoned and dry. It’s to the point that I only order it off of Uber Eats because I’m drunk at 3a and I somehow forget how shitty it is and then wake up regretting not ordering a patty melt from Whataburger.

    If you were ordering fast food at 3am, and you can still wake up and feel disappointed at what you ordered and ate, then you clearly weren't drunk enough.

    Correct. Sharp exposed bone, group attacks aiming for the eyes and leg muscles, the silverback goes down eventually.

    If it were 100 posters from this board, I assume the dumbest gasbags go first. When the gorilla shreds spider2ybanana limb from limb and you all shriek in horror, I'm sprinting for that dude's exposed femur and then whittling that thing to a fine point while we send wave after wave of BO&W, Steamboat, futureman, and numerous other dipshits in as tiring fodder. Then we riot. I'd ride in on @SydneyCarton's shoulders in sort of a Master Blaster Thunderdome approach. 

    If it means that I get to step on the lifeless bodies and necks of Codaxx, Realgreggym, Spider2yBanana, D3zii, and perhaps there's some friendly fire opportunities for the likes of Randolph Duke, Hook1997, and Helobious...well, I guess I'll stop skipping leg day.

    I had posted a note about Vodney Cleveland. (#52 overall, 247Sports, OVing June 13th to Texas.  Quote: "I would say Florida and Texas have really separated themselves," Cleveland said.)

     

    There was note on the Georgia site - included the quote above, nothing particularly new.  The Georgia mod's response to a post in the thread after the note, below.

    I think he forgot the most important aspect, and the one that had Alabama on top for years in talent acquisition: Development. The Longhorns have had 23 players drafted in the last two years. This includes 5 first round draft picks, and 5 second round draft picks. Combine that with everything else he listed above, and the fact that the degree is worth a shit (for those that care) and an alumni network in a big ass fucking state, and it's a compelling pitch. Probably the most compelling pitch in college football.

    My sister did. Has a lot of buyer's remorse.

    Got vandalized several weeks back as someone spray-painted "Nazi Fuck" on it. Pics of it made the rounds on Reddit.

    They caught the guy as they were able to combine parking garage security camera footage with a rando's phone video. Some 50 year old father of two. I don't like them either, but what were you thinking dude? 

    Going to jail as the father of two daughters just because he hates your Nazi sister is certainly what I would consider a poor decision and misaligned priorities. 

    He should have worn a ski mask and a MAGA hat.

    Over here in Humble ISD, Tracy Shannon lost her bid for election.   She had some real doozies in her corner:

    So basically her entire self-image and ideology is driven by the fact that her husband changed and she couldn't handle it? And the rage at rejection has just turned her into a bitter hate machine? Because I'm not watching that video.

    who would buy a national park ? 

    any company or anyone associated with any of that would be in for a world of pain 

    Bullshit. Private Equity buys some of the most beautiful land in the entire country, and then does one of two things: develops it for the people rich enough to buy homes/land tracts there, or they simply operate the already vastly profitable park system, increase costs to visit by 20%, and find other ways to monetize it, and make even more money. 

    national parks print money. That's what private equity loves. Hell, you're talking about groups buying up tracts of farm land that doesn't make money without subsidies, and you think they'd blink at buying PROFITABLE land?

    Surly Peeps.....I'll be in Houston for a family event and I need to find some food rec's for myself. I'm stying at the Zaza Museum District and these all appear to be walking distance. 

     

    https://bodegastacoshop.com/menu : any good?

    saw these BBQ joints:

    was thinking about  Le Jardinier and I will look knto Lucilles. THX

     

    Bodega Tocos is fine for like a, late night after drinking taco night. I haven't eaten their breakfast tacos. But I mean, it's on par with eating a Freebird's or Mission Burrito type place. Not saying it's bad, just that it's not special. 

    All of your BBQ spots suck balls. As others have said, Pinkerton's or Truth. And Pinkerton's line moves pretty fast even on Fridays in my extensive experience. Truth, not so much. And yes, The Pit Room is not great and certainly isn't top 3 Houston BBQ, much less top 3 Houston. Sorry not sorry Putt. 

    ZaZa car service will take you to Rice Village, which has plenty of good food options. Helen Greek & Wine, Hamsa, Navy Blue, Hungary's, even fucking Island Grill has good food. Cafe Rabelais, and then middle of the road stuff like Torchy's or Black Walnut. Sixy Vines. If you can get a bit further, you can get the Campechana at Good Company Seafood.

    How the fuck have they only sold 50 k of these fuckers, and are all of them in West Austin?. On any typical 8 mile drive to my project in Bee Cave I will see at least 10 of these fucking things.  A lot them are wrapped and several are wrapped with business logos.  How fucking niave do you have to be to advertise on one of these and think "this will help my business!"

    Had a good laugh watching one of my clients neighbors get his into his garage.  Multi-point turn to approach garage, then all passengers had to get out because the pos barely fits. Never hauls or tows anything.  Nice guy; huge dork.

    Considering Tesla has offices so close to Austin, I think it makes sense. Ive got 4-5 of them I see around my neighborhood here in Houston.

    It was worse than that earlier, I think about eight topics in a row…

    It was, early this AM. I almost took a screenshot of it but opted to just turn off my phone in disgust.

    So how much ag shit was Old Army sporting? I'm gonna guess aTm hat, 12th man golf towel, and Reveille driver head cover at a minimum. 

    Tell me that you or @SydneyCarton at least once got in an "ooh, that looked like 4th and 1 last November" when the dude left a putt short.

    He was genuinely a nice guy, so it was hard to just overtly stick a knife into his guts and twist. 
     

    But man it’s tempting.
