    Burgers

    Gonna put this here, but it goes beyond burgers: what's your go-to at Top Notch? I'm taking my sis and nephew, and I always default to the cheeseburger. I'm not sure I've ever had the fried chicken, chicken sammich, etc. What say you, surly?
  2. Wind TURBINES.
  3. I don't think I've ever seen him attack a solo like that. It was like a musical boxing match. He's so effortlessly skilled on guitar but that day he was hanging on for dear life.
  4. One of my all time faves, even though he's an Aggie. He sets such a high bar for songwriters. I saw him last year at the ACL 50th taping and he was a little creaky in the vocal department, but still enjoyable. That band just flat out smokes, year after year. I've had the pleasure of messaging back and forth with Sklar over the years, and he is clearly very proud to play in the Large Band. Given his long and storied track record, that's saying something.
  5. I'm going with "rehab".
  6. I definitely get it.
  7. The shutdown is most likely all about the Epstein files. If they jump start the government, they have to swear in Adelita Grijalva, and she would represent the 218th vote that could lead to the release of the files.
  8. He even has a degree in Econ from UPenn. It's astonishing.
  9. "I trusted you. Why?" Well Ollie, that's the $64,000 question.
  10. Thomas Jefferson would be proud. For fuck's sake.
  11. I'll get to plug in at rehearsal tonight. Neck seems OK, a little shallow for my stupid chimpanzee palms.

    Tex Mex

    My favorite? Enchiladas Y Mas by a good margin. Maudie's works in a pinch. It's been a while since I've eaten at El Dorado, but Joel knows what he's doing. Oh, and I haven't been to Mama Betty's, but wife gave it a solid C. She wasn't super impressed.

    Tex Mex

    Another (and likely better) choice would be Curra's Hyde Park (4215 Duval), but they lean a little more interior Mexican than TexMex.

    Tex Mex

    I don't know what the surly consensus is about El Chile, but it's right in that area (1900 Manor Rd). You could probably walk. We eat there every once in awhile, and generally like it. Not our fave but it's close to our kids.
  15. The "sunburst" on this thing looks like a stoner in 9th grade auto shop class got tired of huffing the Krylon so he painted his shitty guitar.
  16. LOL that is so blatant. Thanks for the clip.
  17. Better than being the town drunks. (Two things can be true at once, though.)
  18. I'm such a dumbass.
  19. I need an intervention. I was digging around in my closet for my fave electric (a G&L Tele) because I'm playing out on Friday and before I found it I came across an unopened package that contained a Squier Strat, for which I apparently paid $120 off amazon. Crimony.
  20. I didn't watch it, and won't, but that may be parsing it a bit fine for the layman. Musk has a degree in physics. Physics is not engineering, I get it, but they're pretty related. I've worked with plenty of people with physics degrees who operated in an engineering role and did great. I mean, let's hate Musk for the right reasons.
  21. I got a 44 but I have no idea what that means. I want my time back.
  22. I'm not a big guy and I got very adept at the side-step and shuffle to worm my way to the front, but over the years I've lost interest. But yeah, if you get in front of me so tight that I might as well be rogering you, we have a problem.
  23. Yeah, this doesn't seem to be one of those Texas teams with a whole lot of intrateam connections, regardless of what Sark says about "culture". I keep saying it, and I believe it: this ain't our year.
  24. Yeah, I pointed that out -- he was thinking of that particular combine.
  25. I can't believe you didn't think of a Baris Pizza & Pasta pink sauce angle.
