  1. Thomas Dolby is a genius, but I can't convince myself that any of these horns are live. I would love to see him redo the whole "Aliens Ate My Buick" album with a proper big band. Spoilered for possibly failing to meet the thread standards:
  2. Yeah, I remember him back to the Daily Texan. Seemed a decent enough guy who was pretty serious about his craft.
  3. Let me guess . . . the Longhorn should be upside down?
  4. I've been told that simply refretting a full maple neck often isn't worth it -- just buy a new one and keep the old one for resale if you part with the guitar. Don't know if that's true or not, but if it is, I would think new dots would be an even worse idea.
  5. The name of that tune? "Sod Off! You Turgid Fetid PeachWeasel"
  6. I was gonna say it's a damn good thing that family plays football at a very high level.
  7. Don't you go ruining Winnie Cooper for us. Come on.
  8. Yeah, kickers are weird by design, I don't know who can be reached by a pep talk and who should be avoided, but Mack had the smooth laughing "you are so gonna get coed tail from this kick" charm that absolutely worked in most cases. Sark may just be a bit too tactical/cerebral to actually calm the guy down.
  9. Epstein uproar aside, I would love to be a fly on the wall when Trump interviews 4-star General nominees to see if they pass muster as "war fighters". As if Trump would know jack shit about fighting a war.
  10. It's good thru Thursday, I just don't want to drive around on an expired sticker (even if I have the receipt). I'll try HEB tomorrow. Thanks.
  11. I don't want to do it online, I need the sticker by Thursday. Does HEB provide the sticker at the point of sale or is it mailed?
  12. All I know is that Billy wrote those songs, and if he hadn't done that, most of the guys in his band would have been slugging it out regionally with far less to show for it. They weren't bad players, not by a long shot, but I can't think of one of them who I thought was transcendent (although I do really like Liberty DeVitto as a drummer and Richie Cannata on woodwinds).
  13. Sorry for the thread derail, carry on (even you Helobious).
  14. It's not 2023.
  15. Need tips for (relatively) painless vehicle registration facilities in the Austin area. I'll happily pay a convenience fee at a title shop, etc. if it cuts down the insane tax office wait times. Central/north is better than others, but I am willing to learn. Registration has not expired, insurance and ID are in hand, and passing emissions inspection is current.
  16. No, it's true.
  17. Statistically speaking, life is not all that fragile. Poor diet, alcohol, drugs, sedentary lifestyle, excessive speeding or driving under the influence, carcinogens in our food & environment, chemtrails, viral and bacterial outbreaks, gun and other modes of violence, war, the list goes on, and yet the average life expectancy of Americans is at an all-time high.
  18. Josh Hawley is a Deep State RINO.
  19. Thank you for finally acknowledging my elite athleticism.
  20. It is a thing. It's also not particularly effective.
  21. Wait . . . regular porn AND kiddie porn (as the thread title says)? Aside from whatever IP might have been violated, kiddie porn should take that to a new level. I'm not seeing that stated in the article.
  22. Yeah, you have to operate from a position of truth, but that doesn't mean it all has to be reactive. Go on the offensive. Call bullshit. Be ugly. Just stay factual -- the facts are there.
  23. If y'all haven't been to Preservation Hall in New Orleans, rectify that pronto, and pay for front row seats in that tiny little historic room. You don't know who you're gonna get on any given night, or what they're gonna play, but it's a bucket list thing for jazz/swing/rag fans:
  24. You're probably right, but it's possible he just doesn't have the ability to maintain in the 200/400. My kid was 11.2/23.5 which hints that sub-11/23.7 is not likely. None of that really changes the original point being made; i.e., Texas and Georgia are gonna slug it out for players in each others' state.
