  1. In this world, they absolutely do not. (OK, I admit I don't know much about Arizona.)
  2. Shit. A friend of mine plays in Ace's band. I came to know that guy through totally different channels, but I was an absolute KISS fanatic in middle school. Still one of my favorite bands. Guess I have a phone call to make.
  3. It feels like LSU 2025 is opposite of LSU 2024. I'm not sure how a team flips its "strengths" so quickly.
  4. Yeah, I'm sure the American consumer is gung ho to drive vehicles that get 8 mpg. Imagine a current vehicle that gets 24 mpg, driven 12K miles per year -- that's 500 gallons, or roughly $1500. Bump that to 1500 gallons and we're at $4500, or a $3000 hickey. PER YEAR. Multiplied by probably 2-3 to account for the average household. Yes, please cut the price of the vehicle by say $3000 and then cost me $3000 per year for this "benefit". (Not to mention the price of vehicles won't drop a dime.) These people are so fucking stupid.
  5. It is going to be monumentally embarrassing when the results come back Brown -- deny Dartmouth -- deny MIT -- deny Arizona -- deny Penn -- deny USC -- deny UT -- accept UVa -- deny Vanderbilt -deny When UT accepts, even without an announcement, Trump will shout it from the rooftops.
  6. LMAO. Did you make that or just find it?
  7. They don't call it science fiction for no good reason.
  8. Hey, he said "slave", not the n-word.
  9. Perini's sure is proud of that steak rub.
  10. Well yeah, because I pulled down the class average and moved the curve.
  11. Yeah, maybe they'll just take it out of the curriculum.
  12. The hardest class I took at UT was Nonlinear Acoustics. I'm trying to figure out how Greg and the boys will inject MAGA-friendly topics into that course, but I'm drawing a blank. I'm sure they'll figure something out.
  13. I do believe we have unintentionally hit our temporal brick wall.
  14. I think Ruffalo has been fantastic and I have no problem with a second season featuring him and nobody else from this cast on a new case. Particularly Martha Plimpton.
  15. How do you not pick a color named "Downy Chick"?
  16. I was thinking Duane Allman.
  17. I'll send you an invitation to my Ted Talk:
  18. Miller has a bit of a Sark vibe, which gruntles me.
  19. I don't doubt Trump is too stupid to understand the far-reaching implications of doubling the price of NdFeB and SmCo magnets, but he's about to find out. Won't make a difference, but the implications on US industry will be massive, including my company.
  20. I bought football season tickets for a dozen years thru 2005 (and several years before that on the student/employee plan), but never contributed to the Foundation, because UT is rich as shit and my donations went to my undergrad school. Magically my season ticket application for 2006 "got lost in the mail", so oh well, guess who bought a big-screen TV and never looked back? Fuck UT.
  21. Full disclosure: I've never eaten at a Luby's. My wife, who was born and raised here (Austin HS Maroons holla) got dragged there by her dad so much that she never even wanted to go, and I wasn't about to argue. Our semi-equivalent when I was a boy was a Sirloin Stockade -- obviously tilted more towards "steak" -- and I'm still having flashbacks.
  22. Well that was mean.
  23. That video makes me simultaneously very happy and very sad.
  24. How did I not know his band is now a 4-piece? I thought he toured as a trio. Who's the other guitar player?
