  1. Yeah, I was thinking an Albuquerque trip would be nice with the wife, but then I got wrapped up in work and forgot all about it.
  2. He still thinks a cognitive test is somehow related to IQ. Christ on a cracker.
  3. Is Brock still playing in Europe?
  4. Maybe you need to see a doctor?
  5. Inflation ticks up. I would think this article's expectation that this is due to tariffs is not as clear as it's made out to be. My guess is that cause and effect is just that -- a guess, and often the wrong guess. We'll see. Inflation
  6. I liked the anecdote Bob Geldof tells of walking down King's Road in Chelsea and running into Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet. He gets Kemp on board the idea of teaming with himself and Midge Ure (Ultravox) to write and record a Christmas song and donating the royalties to famine relief in Africa. He goes another 50 yards or so and runs into Sting, and he ropes him in as well. (Sting said you really couldn't say "no" to Geldof, he was too persistent.) So in the space of half an American football field it's not only Geldof and Ure but Kemp and Sting, and they start muscling their other famous friends to do this thing. London.
  7. I don't get the pervasive disdain for U2. Those guys could turn "Wheels On The Bus" into a fucking anthem. They just have something, some "IT", and yeah, it's in Bono's ego and Edge's guitar. I only saw them once, on the Joshua Tree tour in Houston. I had floor seats, which might have been great but everyone stood on their chairs the whole show so I could barely see anything but the top of Edge's hat. I should have brough some phone books. Regardless, that show kicked ass.
  8. lol no that's not what he was referring to. Yeesh.
  9. Wait, what? Please have a link.
  10. Not mine either. I discovered beer and was already admitted, so . . . uh . . . what are we doing here exactly?
  11. "If the football team becomes the Eagles, the basketball team becomes the Thunder, and the baseball team becomes the Dodgers, do you agree this would be the best big 3 the Aggies have ever had?"
  12. I think most kids drop in their HS rankings by graduation simply because their "class size" drops, due to kids dropping out.
  13. Gosh, who could imagine that a private Christian for-profit university might have a shit-ton of "students"?
  14. Yeah, but I wanted to study engineering, not chemistry. Plus the chicks at UT were WAY WAY WAY better. Easy decision.
  15. Here's how I know UT wasn't elite back in the day: I got admitted undergrad AND grad. I got turned down by fucking Purdue (although they did say "hey, if you'd like to study chemistry, come on!". Uh, no.)
  16. I have this terrible Sophie's Choice going through my head -- would you want to be abused by Donald Trump or Steve Bannon?
  17. That's impossible, Greg Abbott assured us they won't quit until everyone is found.
  18. That's OK, she's 100% dead.
  19. Definitely.
  20. Just to put a finer point on the way Travis fills, using "Is The Lake Full Yet" numbers, it's currently at 77.1% capacity (by volume) but 91.8% full (by water level).
  21. I think there is a certain "morality" that supports persecution of minorities yet is repulsed by pedophilia. It's not moral at all, but they see it as such.
  22. Apparently you missed this part: "rural area outside Lansing and is a Michigan grad"
  23. I probably already posted this, but what the hell: Hey pretty baby, are you ready for me It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town But no local yokel gonna shut me down 'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town
