  1. Went to see a friend's band at a small Austin club last night. They were good, not great. Need a better drummer. The opener was the craziest shitshow I've seen in a while. Some old dude on guitar who clearly has played for decades, another old dude on drums who could play OK, and then 4 millenials who I swear must have been recruited from School of Rock. A gal on "piano", a gal on fiddle, a rock-looking dude on a Tele and a bass player who couldn't be bothered to realize his tone was totally distorted. It was the most heinous mess of amateurism I've seen in a long time. They played 5 covers, no originals, and jammed on every song, rotating around so everyone could solo every song. Seriously, it felt like one of those middle school summer band camp kind of bands. "Live Music Capitol of the World" my ass.
  2. If that one doesn't convince everyone that it's AI, I don't know what to say.
  3. Those idiots will find something to be outraged in any situation. They didn't take "Cracker" out of the name, it's just a cleaner logo. (It's still ugly, but that's another thing entirely.)
  4. I like Sagarin towards the end of the season, but at this point it's just a crap shoot.
  5. I just wish Ron White hadn't become richer than God. So does his liver.
  6. Jennings: "Why would they say that?" Well Scott, maybe it's because they know they're next on the arrest roundup?
  7. Our office is less than 8 miles from campus, and most of our staff attended UT. I think it's a really odd question. (She's also a Texan, although a UNT grad.)
  8. I was wearing my ratty old school Texas cap at the office the other day, and one of our marketing gals asked "are you a Tennessee fan"? The actual hat, wtf?:
  9. Nice. (Well, except for the circumstances.)
  10. I don't know if the mandated curriculum has changed, but here is a hint as to any kind of federal requirement (from historians.org):
  11. Not taught in Missouri, at least when I was K-12.
  12. 7:15 AM for regular classes or is that a zero hour kind of thing? Where is this?
  13. Yeah, I have a soft spot for Guero's. I lived within short walking distance when they moved to that spot, and we had been going to the Oltorf location for years before that. I suppose it's gone downhill, I haven't eaten there much in years, but it's still a cool location and building with a lot of history for me. Tell me their margs are still good?
  14. Holy shit, we did a family birthday dinner last week, and the kid wanted to go to JoAnn's. Fortunately they were booked, because those prices are nutso. We ended up at El Meson, which was fine.
  15. Their son plays (played?) for Okie State. They have a great deal of bias against OU.
  16. Mizzou obviously has a hatred for Kansas, but in football they always looked at the OU and UNL games as ones they "had to win" (and almost never did).
  17. Obviously different days, locations, situations, but it's pretty easy to look up the following: Arch Manning vs UTSA: 20.7 mph top speed Josh Allen: 20.31 mph top speed (max recorded) Arch is plenty fast.
  18. The joke is extra funny when you don't use pronouns to mock the use of pronouns.
  19. 160 years. I think it's a fair assessment to call whatever "progress" has been made regarding Black America, it's glacial in pace. And, this administration is trying to reverse as much of that as they can.
  20. What's OU's NIL story? Are they lagging way behind? Given the way TTech is leveraging O&G billionaire(s), you'd think OU could do the same. They have a strong Pet Eng program, certainly in the realm of Tech's if not better.
  21. Look at the google on @Hermanator.
  22. Sorry, I was texting.
  23. Some of the greatest advice my father ever gave me was "never trust a fart".
  24. When you say "it" you mean his finger, right? Most of us recall Simms dislocating his finger on a (Mizzou?) helmet. Same as your story, they popped it back in and on he went. I guess there's a fair amount of adrenaline/endorphin/etc. flowing to mitigate the pain, though.
