  1. Or know a trademark attorney? I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the surly attorneys and what they do, so I’ll tag a few and see if y’all can help direct me or direct me to someone @TwiceHorn @South Austin @Brisketexan @Ghost of LL @dcbc @Gatorubet. I know Twice is a patent guy, which isn’t the same but seems adjacent. anyway, we’ve got a big rich company trying to bully my small business over their “trademark” which is the equivalent of a state name and a general commodity, like Nebraska Corn or California Water or Texas Pecans or Maryland Crab Cakes and they’re saying we can’t use those select words next to each other in any way because it’s their trademark. It’s obvious bullshit, but they’re bullies. Every general attorney I’ve talked to laughs at the premise. So not sure if anyone can point me in the direction of someone who can help. So if I missed an attorney kindly tag them here. I’ve just got a couple simple questions.
  2. Pretty sure Sark said in one of his recent press conferences not to expect Mosely until October.
  3. These posts make me feel real good about the Weller CYPB I picked up on the cheap from TotalWine a couple years ago.
  4. Goddamnit that's right in front of my office. Of course, the construction has already fucked that whole area, so I'd be detouring to get home anyway.
  5. I'm sorry, what 7 wars did this fucking idiot end?
  6. You think that's bad, there's a house on TC Jester between 18 and 11th that has had a car drive through their yard and front of their house. Twice. In the last year. The first time, they dropped a couple huge boulders on part of their driveway to block a car from doing it again. This time they missed the boulders, somehow ran over an entire light pole, and still took out the front door of this place's house. I can't imagine the resale value is looking good. I'm not even sure I could live there anymore.
  7. Heading North on Shepherd I basically have to force remind myself when it goes from 4 lanes to 3 right at the end of that apartment complex.
  8. Why do you write your posts in italics with stupid shit like ^^^^^^^^^^^^ and about the worst capitalization choices I've seen on the internet? Are you suffering from brain trauma?
  9. I was just asking, as I quoted the article where the authorities expected no foul play. So why do you think there was foul play?
  10. Well I quoted you and asked a question.
  11. It's hard to get old when posters like you are constantly providing me with fresh new material. I don't need to objectively prove to anyone whether my life is good or bad, or better or worse than yours. Because I don't care about your lives. Do I think you have objectively poor takes on this thread, and should feel bad about yourself? Sure. I'm sure there's plenty of people in the Food and Travel forum who think the same about me because I like ketchup as a condiment. But you're the person who says they're scared to wear burnt orange after a tough loss, who compared Saturday to "the abyss" and tried to dismiss someone else who wears their gear proudly as "impressing some Mexicans" while attempting to paint yourself as above the fray. And yet you want to call other people's behavior pathetic? Ok pal. You literally just described your behavior as that of a fair-weather fan. That's what's fucking pathetic.
  12. Well, they won. Buckeye fans who lose are a bit of a different animal. Plus it was 11 am. So only about half of them were piss drunk and high from eating paint chips.
  13. Congratulations, this entire board knows that you squat to pee...
  14. See, you say there's nothing stupid being said on plenty of threads, including this one, and then I have to scroll down and read this dumbassery: If you feel personally embarrassed walking down the street wearing burnt orange because the media over-hyped a manning, and we laid an egg in a big game, you're a fucking idiot who's life priorities are completely out of whack. And I can say that as a dude who would let a UT loss, even during our darkest past decade, ruin my entire weekend when I was in my 30's. We're not Penn State or Baylor who let systemic rape and human trafficking happen on their watch, you fucking feeble-minded knob. Yeah, we thought Arch would be better. He wasn't last weekend. Staring into the fucking abyss? WE JUST LIVED THE ABYSS FOR 12 YEARS, you fucking dipshit. Losing at defending national champion Ohio State's house on opening weekend by a TD isn't the fucking abyss, you can't even SEE where we are now from the abyss of losing to Kansas while they put up 50 plus on you. You're a spoiled fucking titty-baby whiny little dipshit, you sound like a fucking aggie. And this, this is why I'm not around much this week. The stupid, it just permeates everything. I will say this, after living through Strong and Herman and with NIL where it is, if Sark means a 10 year run of Mack Brown looking results while sneaking in a title with some good fortune, at this point, I'll fucking take it. Because at least he won't be a whiny passive aggressive little bitch about it in the media.
  15. We're all counting on @texifornia to keep us young, so I have a place to yell on the internet when I'm retired. God help us.
  16. I'm not even going to bother wading in up-thread to see the entire context of @immamac's post and this conversation, but I can guess and get the gist from this post, so I'll add my personal color to the state of UT Football/Surly/Enthusiasm. I've been avoiding not just a few threads, not just the football board, but all of that and the $9.95 board like the plague since Saturday. I can't handle it. I read most of the game thread on Sunday, and I read some other threads, and I just can't fucking handle it. All of the idiots, all of the stupid, knee-jerk, ill formed opinions, plus those denying what we saw, and at the end of the day it's just a poisonous stew that I don't have much desire to ingest. Like I need to read stupid post after stupid post about how Arch Manning sucks, or the hype is overrated, or the Quinn Ewers apologists, or the Sark haters, over and over and over? There's literally no incentive for me to be participating on this website right now, or in a greater dialogue about UT football. Here's my short paragraph sentence summary on where we are: Arch sucked huge ass and his mechanics sucked, Sark did him little to no favors in playcalling and the red zone, which is hardly a new thing and will be a long term albatross on his program. Fine. This doesn't mean Arch can't be a good QB here, or a great QB here, and it's also beyond stupid for people to say we need to move on from Sark, or he needs to hire an OC, or that we're DOOMED! I'll be watching the next 3 games with interest to see what Arch and his mechanics look like (because what we saw Saturday wasn't what we'd seen before) and what kind of improvement we can see as a program. But's going to be hard for me to come here when the loudest and most active voices are the two ends of the Stupid Poster Spectrum that I despise more than BO&W despises regular showers. I'm guessing I'm not alone with a similar viewpoint.
  17. From the article: Officials said no foul play is currently suspected in any of their deaths, the BBC reported. So are you saying you think there's foul play? Are you upset?
  18. That's basically every company these days. Analytics for sale that they collect by doing ___________________
  19. I mean, it's not FREE. It's priced in.
  20. I haven't done one, but I will at some point. And I fucking hate hate hate regular cruises. Generally the reviews on them are great, and it's all old people. So none of the shit music and getting wasted part of a cruise. Everyone says if you're 55 you'll be the youngest folks on there by a decade. Not sure what your wife's tolerance for the cold is, but going in the winter during the Christmas Markets could be cool.
  21. Some of you people are painfully stupid.
  22. We don’t need to discuss him. He’s a piece of shit. What we need to do is ignore him.
  23. I don’t think more college starts help him not throw 10 passes under the knees of his WRs
