    ...So, what do I do? I lay an absolute egg.  It was like I forgot how to play golf....

    Lol I feel seen.  I've been playing okay since picking up the clubs again a few months ago.  Really striking the ball well, but losing a lot of strokes to missed GIRs and bad chipping mistakes.  Overall though, it's been encouraging.  

    Walked on at Lions Sunday morning at 0730 and proceeded to card five 7s in row.  Somewhere along the way, I started spraying wedges just blade open wide right.  On 5, I wound up right of the trees, tried to play a mostly conservative pitch out to the fairway, hit a tree and wound up twenty yards backwards.  Next shot, hit another tree.  Third shot, beautiful punch out to 90 yards...

    I chalk it up to getting paired with this older dude who had just enough Dad energy to put the thought of my old man in my head, and I always played terribly around him. 

    Golf.

    I know what it means obviously but for the other readers, can you elaborate on what SG means in this context?

    Surly Golf (TM)

  2. Anything beyond the 5th is superfluous made-up dramatic bullshit.

    The 5th amendment is made applicable to the states via the [snaps several times and points crooked finger] conduit of the 14th amendment due process clause

  3. Thoughts? I just finished the book and this is next on my movie list.

    It’s a great film although it is clunky and Elliot Gould is such a weirdo you almost fee like you’re uneasily stumbling through it with him. I haven’t read any of the books so don’t know how faithful it is. Marlowe smokes a lot. I dig the theme song, and how Altman weaves it into the movie in a multitude of ways. “This is someone I love” was quite a scene. Cameo towards the end one of the best ever.

    Wow. I just finished the whole thing. I wanted to watch The Wire because I’ve maintained Breaking Bad is the best series ever and some people would argue that The Wire is the best.

    i need to sleep on it a few days, but overall the show is incredibly good. Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire. Legendary programs. 

     

    not even in the same league.  Breaking Bad / Sopranos were great television shows.  The Wire is the highest art ever developed for the television medium. Shakespeare vs. Andrew Lloyd Weber

    Let us know when the rewatch begins

    So who is the first one to go check out the cliffs at Pace Bend?  Need to know if I'm going to get impaled on a newly submerged sycamore.

    I saw a reel of a dude jumping off paleface recently.  ymmv

  6. How is Memorial Park for beginner-ish players?  

    Long way of saying I still hate slowing groups down so if Memorial Park is for like players in the 80s, I’ll continue playing at random places…but I live right by park so it would be nice to go play less than 5 minutes from my house rather than hodgepodge of places all over Houston I’ve played at that are 4-5x further.
     

    As said above, go play as often as you can. In many ways it is much more forgiving than it was before the renovation. For the resident rate, it is one of the best deals in the state. And the practice facility (the chipping green, not the driving range) is probably the best in the city and is free

  7. That’s my reading on Wee Bay’s “family“ dynamic as well. The scene where Wee Bay tells De’Londa to let Namond go remains one of the best in the series.
    Question for the thread, why does De‘Londa need Namond grinding on the corners? Couldn’t she become a hustler herself and wholesale packages? 

    Bc she’s a lazy pos and a terrible human

  8. Yeah, I was the "breaker-bar" kid for the longest damn time.  Just a solid metal bar with a chisel tip on one end.  Has to be 50+ years old.  Still have it.  T-post driver is also a big bucket of suck.  

    I have driven enough t-posts this year to last a good while. Co-signed on the suck
    I've heard so many different names for this tool from various cowboys and workers - a big Awl, an Asp, Breaker-bar, pry bar, etc. I've never heard it referred to as a San Angelo bar before, but I'm going to keep calling it an Awl.

    Some folks call it a kaiser blade

  9. It’s shaping up be a bumper luffa crop in Houston. Got the seeds in end of March and we’ve already harvested 15 jumbos with about as many more still on the vine

  10. Did Austin firefighters deploy to Liberty Hill and Georgetown? Because I know for a fact that Round Rock firefighters deployed to Liberty Hill and performed numerous water rescues and evacuations. 

    I saw a convoy racing North up mopac with a zodiac around 0800 saturday, presumably headed for liberty hill/lago vista
  11. Trae Tha Truth (for those who don’t know he’s a famous rapper from Houston) is as real as they come. every disaster that takes place in Texas, he and his people are there with boots on the ground, doing anything they can to not only raise money and awareness, but to actually volunteer their time and energy to do anything they can to help. a true humanitarian. can’t say enough about this man. a lot of celebrities shill for money for their favorite causes, but nobody actually gets down to ground zero and volunteers like Trae and his people. rally thankful for him and all that he does.
     

    I got my company to donate money from our regional grants fund to Angel by Nature, Trae’s 501©(3). He’s a real one

    The “All Syd” episode with the little girl had to be one of the most boring things ever shot for television. Awful. 
    Just a complete waste of 35-40 odd minutes 

    Ayo is going to win an emmy for directing that ep. 

  13. Finished Andor last night (yeah, sue me). So damn good. You guys have said it all.
      
     
    I went back and read this thread - I did want to touch back on this one - RONIN. IYKYK. Skarsgaard , DeNiro, 3 Bond villains, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Katarina Witt (both in their prime) and one of the two best car chase scenes ever committed to film (French Connection).

    Ok so what color is the boathouse at Hereford?
