  1. Has nobody mentioned the local favorite? Marcia Ball, Austin City Limits HOF Inductee
  2. We drove down to Harlingen every summer to see the Confederate Air Force Airshow before they moved it to Midland and changed the name. I’ve always been a fanboy of WW2 vintage planes. I’ve flown in a B-17. It was a great experience, but I wouldn’t do it again. I was so happy to have my feet firmly back on the ground. I knew it would be loud aboard, but I could not believe how loud it actually was. It was even difficult to hear the comms through the headset. It was also a physical beating. I imagine akin to trying to stand on a rollercoaster. But, I’m still more in awe of the guts it took to jump in those bombers and fly over the Reich every day and in broad daylight.
  3. until he hurt his back building a volcano for his science class.
  4. I was at Spring Training the year they shifted Bags to 1B. I would have lost a ton of money on any bet that he’d eventually make the HOF. Drove down to Houston with my 16-year old. Four hours down and four hours back tonight. Worth every mile.
  5. SIAP, but is Philadelphia the first city to lose TWO league championships on the same day after the Union shit their bed?
  6. For the record, the Mariners are now 22.5 games out of first place in the AL West.
  7. Certainly more important given the circumstances, but Chas' catch had a much, much greater degree of difficulty.
  8. time to roll out and go independent for a couple of seasons.
  9. I changed planes in O'Hare on the way to Seattle in 2003 and Cubs fans onboard had already convinced the pilot to put the Cubs playoff broadcast on one of the inflight entertainment channels. I wasn't listening, but when the Cubs' fans reached for the ball and deflected Moises Alou's potential catch the entire plane went into an uproar with arms flailing, people jumping up, and screaming obscenities. I plugged my headphones in but we lost the broadcast shortly after. Didn't really figure out what happened until we got to Seattle.
  10. Good listen about Xi cementing his power at the Communist Party congress, if you have a few minutes to spare. Implications of Xi Jinping's Hold on Power: Former Senior CIA China Analyst Chris Johnson
  11. Most of you are probably too young to remember Eric Gregg. 2-inches? Hold my beer...
  12. Hahahaha. Fuck off, cunt.
  13. Found my program from the 1980 NLCS and ticket stub from Game Five.
  14. If it helps, I did throw up on his shoes outside Trader Vic's during a Phi Delt rush event a couple of years later.
  15. I'll share my memory from the 1980 NLCS. We were invited to sit in the Hofheinz box for Game 5 and afterward went down the elevator to the waiting area outside the Astros clubhouse. I was bored and discovered a stairwell to a tunnel and across a catwalk under the stands to the Astros dugout. I sat there for a minute, worked up my nerves, and then walked across the field to sit in the Phillies dugout. I kept waiting for someone to stop me or yell at me, but no one did. I could hear the Phillies celebration, so I followed the tunnel out of the dugout and up to the door of the visitor's clubhouse. I watched the celebration and wandered around until someone screamed at me to get my ass out of there. By the time I got back to where I started most of those outside the Astros clubhouse were gone and no one even noticed I had left.
  16. Is it time to vote?
  17. 👍 YES WAY, JOSE! 👍
  18. Fuck both of these twats
  19. Altuve Prayer Candle
  20. spit-balling Dead at 47
  21. Man, I’m sorry. I wish I could blame it on painkillers or even crack, maybe it was wishful thinking but I thought oh you was on the way to losing three straight. Maybe I was a weekend ahead of myself. I’ll show myself out. 😂
  22. It is. OU is gunning for 3 in a row right now
  23. I apologize. I should clarify. When was the last time either Texas or OU entered their game on a three game losing streak?
