  1. I might have taken this photo:
  2. My thoughts exactly.
  3. I don't know how accurate this is, but we are apparently #10 in baseball revenue, with 7 SEC schools + Clemson + Gonzaga ahead of us. I'm not sure a rebuild will move the needle enough to warrant the expense. D1 baseball revenue
  4. Y'all realize Lincoln was a Republican, right? #civics
  5. I like the idea. A 3% shortfall on Christmas is a huge deal most years. Crank that to 10%? It would be brutal. Unfortunately, it would cause a massive amount of collateral damage and wouldn't affect the main targets one bit.

    Spoon

    I know they'll sell out, but a shit ton of their fans have already bought tickets for Stubb's and Mohawk. This might be one of the biggest non-festival "local" nights in years. (I'm considering Spoon as a local band, even though they aren't.)
  7. If I can grab a mic I will respond in a surly manner.
  8. Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on the sky for sure. I'm supposed to sit in on one song but the timing looks pretty dicey.
  9. Annie has been yapping about drone strikes in the middle East for years. His silence about current events is quite a tell.
  10. Somebody has to keep up with Brisket and the ledge slash wheelhouse.
  11. Well I guess I'm just wearing the wrong hat. Are my patents and sales irrelevant?
  12. LOL Joe is my hero. Smartest guy I've ever met. He pushed me way farther than I knew I could go, I learned half of what I know from him. Yeah, he can be a dick.

    Burgers

    Busty's is just on the better edge of dive. Not even close to gross. Cool place, good people.
  14. Sounds like every arrogant engineering professor. I have worked as an engineer all my life. Most engineers are technicians -- they turn wrenches and draw shit. The ability to handle being wrong is anathema to them. Being wrong is part of innovation. I work with people who say "what if" as opposed to "this is". THAT'S where technology thrives, and it doesn't take a BS/MS/PhD in "Engineering" to get there. It just takes humility.

    Burgers

    To contribute: my daughter and I met up at Busty's on Cameron, and that burger was pretty good
  16. Well there's a blast from the past . . .
  17. I could buy a nicer body than I could sell this weirdo for. At that point I'm even on the frankenstrat.
  18. Update on cheap Squier Strat: it doesn't sound great, kinda thin. There's no point in keeping the body ($120) and building out a frankenstrat. I think this is going to go on the "give it to a nephew" list.
  19. Weird headstock -- who made it?
  20. Natch.
  21. More to the point, have you seen this Vanderbilt?

    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?
  23. Wind TURBINES.
  24. 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.
