  1. My son and I got tickets to this as soon as they were on sale at the Drafthouse. Thoughts below.
  2. Do you guys know where I could get one of those gold necklaces with the T on it?
  3. Moors! Moops! Moors! Moops!
  4. That is goddamn Shakespearean.
  5. Ah, got it. Thanks.
  6. Is the lack of wind an issue because wind cools everything down? Or some other reason?
  7. My son was woken up buy a couple of loud pops immediately before the fire started, and a few other neighbors heard it too. The house had a nice outdoor kitchen, and the current thinking (according to the owners) is that there was a leak in the gas line that led to the outdoor cooking range, which caught fire and caused the explosion that kicked everything off.
  8. Our neighbors lost their house and pets in a fire the night before last. We're in north Austin near the Domain. Everyone on the street was standing out there around 2:30 am watching the fire department do its thing and I remember thinking it was really a goddamn miracle that AFD managed to get the fire out before it spread. The houses on our street back to a greenbelt, which of course was already terribly dry, and the fire started on their backyard deck. Awful.
  9. It's called a hat. Well, I'll have to take your word for it.
  10. He'll always be Mississippi to me.
  11. I feel like the show (and commentary in general) has really glossed over (not sure if we are still spoilering but doing it just in case)
  12. Ok but it would've been way less metal.
  13. We can only hope.
  14. Looks like the pilot did cut the line and they are investigating it as a crime. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mother-killed-kids-injured-after-parasail-line-cut-by-boats-captain_n_6298ebcde4b07aa938976b59?d_id=3758469&ref=bffbhuffpost&ncid_tag=fcbklnkushpmg00000063&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=us_main&fbclid=IwAR27-CKWDZ2eRyaYPjKRbokGxQpKngoXkW5ABsxHnc5iLPCbbQUMUbvcAlI
  15. This article looks like it's saying two different things, too. At first it says: "Snapped" makes it sound like an equipment failure. Then towards the bottom: "Cut" makes it sound deliberate. So which was it? I'm guessing the answer is that it snapped because it was cut. All this just confirms my decision to sit at the tiki bar and drink instead of going parasailing with the family when we're at the beach.
  16. I'm sorry, I'm stuck on the fact that they cut the line. Am I missing some other definition of "cut the line", or is the actual procedure to send your parasailing clients to a horrible death when the winds get too strong? Or was the fact that they died after having the line cut an unusual occurrence?
  17. I've actually really liked the longer episodes. The editing could be tighter, but they at least seem to be answering questions as they introduce new ones, and it doesn't feel rushed. A few thoughts:
  18. Took me a few minutes to realize that that post wasn't a joke. It really is crazy how far the Abbotts and Patricks and Cruzes and their ilk will bend over backwards to claim that mass shootings have nothing to do with gun control, and refuse out-of-hand to even have a real conversation about it with anyone who disagrees with their policies. If I have a pond, and my fish keep dying, at some point I have to stop trying to treat individual fish and acknowledge that there's something in the water.
  19. I didn’t realize that. I’ve had mine for a while now.
  20. Basically the same trajectory as the Harry Potter cast.
  21. And we are to believe that that smokeshow is in middle school. Maybe we're up to 9th grade, but still.
  22. How am I the first one to post this? More pics of the entire cast at the premiere here.
