  1. Well I guess it makes sense to pull out on pi day
  2. While not the same thing, this reminds me of the time my wife (no pics) and I were upgraded on a MEX-AUS flight. But, we were in like 3B and 3C which on that plane happened to be two aisle seats rather than right next to each other. When we got settled in, a woman asked my wife if she would switch seats so she could sit next to her husband, which would have moved my wife to a completely different row. We declined and indicated we'd prefer to stay sitting by each other, and the woman got all huffy. After they got seated, my wife, being gracious, and tried to clear the air with the husband, and he just rolled his eyes, threw his hands up in desperation, and gave the look of a typical defeated husband who knew his wife was being unreasonable but he had to take her side anyway. I'm guessing there is a reasonable chance this encounter was with a fellow surly poster, haha. But, was it wrong to not agree to their switcheroo request just because my wife and I wanted to sit "next" to each other, even while divided by an aisle?

  4. Put him on an uninhabited island in the Bering Strait so he's close to Mother Russia. Give him a small but comfortable house with a TV that only gets CNN. Stock him up periodically with food supplies and toiletries, but he's on his own to cook and clean. Stock him up with board games, puzzles, books, and whatnot. Have Secret Service vigorously monitor the island from afar. Generously allow visitors once a week. By any other standard, a highly compassionate house arrest. Way more humiliation than the celebrity status he would enjoy at any actual prison facility.
  5. Jeez, there are avalanches at least biannually around there. All self-inflicted, under Sharp's watch.
  6. Haha, so true - Fast Truck would be horrible, that idea. It was intended as a dig on formulaic country songs, not as a way to make it better, but pointing out how he missed a golden opportunity to kill two birds with one stone (make the cover his own, and check the "truck" box for the song).
  7. Jeez, what an abomination of a cover. When it comes on the radio I can't change the channel fast enough, except half the time on shitty Austin radio its playing on at least one other station at the same time. The dude broke the cover song honor code and didn't even try to change up his version, even a little. It's generic and soulless. Could you at least have made the song "Fast Truck", or sung it from the perspective of the other character (presumably the boyfriend) in the song? Nope - instead we get to hear a country bumpkin twangin' on about being a homeless woman with an out of work boyfriend, desperately dreaming of a better life. The whole thing just isn't plausible - I mean, redneck dudes don't live in shelters, work in convenience stores, have partners (girlfriends/boyfriends?) who put their arm around their shoulder while driving fast cars. He even kept the line about how he's gonna work in the market as a checkout girl. It's the same as if I learned to mimic 99 Luftballons so I could do a killer karaoke performance - yep, I could do it, but I wouldn't have a damn clue about the words I was singing. The only silver lining of this atrocity is that it put a black female songwriter on the top of the country charts for the first time, and I can only imagine she's laughing at this cracker all the way to the bank.

  10. Absolutely yes, it is worth it. We were there last month on a Saturday afternoon and it was almost entirely locals. Yes, it was crowded, but on the water it didn't seem overly so, because after going through a bottleneck of party boats, you'd hit a more peaceful stretch to chill out for a bit. None of the sellers tried a hard sell - just wave them off, and they get it. Or, beckon them over and check out what they've got. The whole experience was fascinating, and while kitschy, it seemed like a glimpse into authentic Mexican family fun; and at least the day we were there, felt like it was off the beaten path of the US tourist circuit.
  11. Yep. I just got my wife (no pics) up to speed on this story, and the very first words out of her mouth were: "What was he thinking bringing his mistress to Alabama with him? If there's one thing Alabama's got, it's pretty girls willing to fuck a football coach. They may be dumber than a box of rocks, but they're pretty."

  13. Huh. Down $30K in 78756. ...meanwhile zillow report (yeah, yeah) shows a $270K increase since last yr
  14. Fun fact: that song was Breaking Up is Hard to Do
  15. Oh man, at that restaurant's price point, that's downright tacky and rude to overtly suggest a time limit - but let me tell you, Olive & June has been rushing meals since way before the pandemic. On our first visit, they brought our cocktails and seemed pushy to get the order placed right then. We said sure, we're ready to order, but please let us enjoy our drinks before bringing the appetizer, we are in no rush. Well, the appetizer came right out, and the entree got plopped down onto our table soon thereafter, before we even touched the appetizer. On our second visit we emphasized to our waiter that we were looking forward to a leisurely evening, and we purposely spaced out the ordering process to assure this - but we got the distinct impression over the course of the meal that they were itching to turn the table, something that shouldn't ever happen at a restaurant who fancies themselves of a certain caliber.

  17. Marble sized hail in 78756 for 2 minutes. One of our cars is dimpled pretty bad, but the windshield stayed intact.

  19. Just voted! 1 hour in Central Austin at the Rec Center. I had the extreme displeasure of having two elderly mask-avoiding Aggy standing behind me at far too close a distance. After being in line for 30 minutes, they tried to cut ahead of me in line because I guess I wasn't moving fast enough?? I called them out on it, and they said, oh, we thought you just got here. wtf? The dude in front of me turned around and said, no, he's been here. Then the old lady actually bumped into my back with her face because she shuffled forward and "wasn't paying attention". At the actual building entrance there was a hand sanitizer station. The old lady asked her husband - do we HAVE to use it before going in? He said, no, you're good. Of course, with my luck they got the voting booth next to mine. She couldn't figure it all out, so the old maroon-shirted grampa loudly pointed out how to vote for Trump and Cornyn - that's all that matters, I don't know about any other those others. God help us!!
  20. Yep. Willing to consider a butterface. A butterbody would be a no-go. But as has been pointed out, butterbodies are exceedingly rare since the attributes that make a body a 5 or lower usually rule out anything above a 7 face.
