  1. Yeah, I love them and 20-30 mins is max for me.
  2. LOL. I told some of the guys in our group we could start a reverse mariachi type band. We could hire out to restaurants and play around tables who wouldn't leave after their meal was over.
  3. And that you have an incurable disease and are going to die.
  4. So I'm safe as long as I stick to official parades, funerals and my backyard?
  5. Usually Going Home, sometimes Abide with Me. Unless the deceased was really Scottish and they want Scottish Funeral songs. Usually Flowers of the Forrest, Highland Cathedral and something else they like.
  6. ^^^^This^^^^ And I'd hang a big old American flag out front and let them write you up for that too. Then go on national news about being a vet and them not wanting you to fly your flag. See how long they can take the heat.
  7. LOL. A little of both. My neighbors don't care, I asked them before I started. And actually its not a bad hobby. I make $200-300 cash per funeral for playing 2 songs.
  8. In the late 80's, I worked for a company in Dallas that had all aggy bosses (several were ex football players). Every one of them from the A&M School of Industrial Distribution. The CEO drove a white Cadillac with a custom maroon interior and the president a maroon Lincoln with a custom white interior. They were some of the stupidest people/managers I ever had the displeasure to work for. Everyone of them. They once canceled a vendor show, attended by 1000+ people and about 100 vendors, a week before said show because they discovered A&M was playing that night. It took about 8 years of aggy management to drive 100 year old company completely out of business.
  9. But we're better because we lost to Georgia and Clemson. Those were QUALITY loses! 🄶🄻🄴🄽🄽🄱🄾🄱 @glennbob81 · 8h One team played clemson twice and georgia, one team didn’t. Y’all acting like these records are even close to being the same is comical. At least at this point with regards to recruiting we have taken huge steps, now we’ll find out if we squander it as well as texas does.
  10. I never thought about this until you mentioned it. I was born when my dad was 40. He died at 63. In his entire life I never saw him fight, but I never saw him back down either. Once on E Lancaster in Fort Worth, we had guys following us, flipping us off. When my dad stopped at a traffic light, he pulled a piece of lead pipe from under the seat and went after them. They ran. It was after his death that I found his enlistment papers where he joined the First Special Service Forces in WW2. Eventually they became the Devils Brigade in Europe. Even thought I had 100 lbs on him, if I would have challenged him, he would have have put me down in about 5 seconds.
  11. Everyone in the SEC hates us cause they're skeered of our awesomeness. We're no longer a sleeping giant, recruiting class and $$$ prove that were about to pass Bama. Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo! We're the only team that can control tu when they join the SEC and try to destroy it and the other SEC teams are too stupid to realize it. Espin and the college football media is in on it too. LOL https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3261542/1 PS It's all Sandusky's fault!
  12. When we were young (in the 60's) we wanted to be garbage men. You got to ride around on the back of the truck, toss the metal cans around, make a lot of noise and crush stuff with the hydraulic compress. Now all they do is drive a truck and have an arm pick it up and empty it. So in hindsight I'm glad I didn't.
  13. Why do women gets so pissed when you tell them they snore? My wife will lay on her side and snore directly into my left ear. I have to sleep with ear plugs and it still doesn't stop the noise. She takes meds to sleep and it's impossible to wake her up at night. I have to shake her to wake her enough to roll over. After about 3-4 nights of 5 hours or less sleep, I try to talk to her about it. When I mention she snores, she goes ballistic. Every damn time I mention it a fight ensues.
  14. This triggered a few of them.
  15. I'm sure it will eventually be a thread in IPIHB. https://www.deccanherald.com/international/world-news-politics/fake-italian-gynaecologist-snares-400-women-in-webcam-scam-1061878.html
  16. I loved the fact that he covered just about every HS team in the state and he would always mention a kid or two that played for that team. I think I have a copy that had my name in it. Way in the back, in small print. But it made you feel like you were on the front cover.
  17. Yeah he was but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that he never went pro and continued to box as an amateur because of Castro's Cuba. He was a 26 year old amateur when he won his 2nd gold medal in '76. He refused to fight Ali saying it was more important to Cuba to be a national hero. I think a prime Ali, Foreman. Frazier, Norton and probably a few other would have massacred him in a pro bout lasting more than 3 rounds.

    Getting old sucks

    Yesterday I stopped in to see an old friend at one of my old accounts. Because of sales territory changes, I haven't been in for a couple of years but I just stopped in to say Merry Christmas. I walked in and we had a normal conversation, just like we used to. He's 64, 3 years from retirement and he told me all his plans. He owns a hunting lease and told me about running it, etc. He said he hadn't even touched his rifles in a year, that he didn't need to shoot them because the bucks were too small right now. When we were done, I walked out to see a couple of people in the tool crib. I started giving one guy a hard time about not being able to get my buddy to retire so he could have his office. He told me that he is already doing all the work because my buddy has advancing Alzheimer's and basically sits in his office all day staring at his computer screen and filling out surveys. He has been with his company for 37 years so they just let him come in as a courtesy for all his years of service, because he has no where to go. His wife has taken all his guns away so he won't hurt anyone. It scared the hell out of me because he covered it so well. I knew that people with Alzheimer's could fake their way pretty well but he shocked me. And it's a gut punch because he worked his ass off for years so he could enjoy his retirement and right now he doesn't even have a clue as to what he's doing every day. Getting old really does suck.
  19. Maybe since they had their pants on they couldn't count past 10.
  20. I wasn't sure where to put this this thread seems as good as any. I went to a 3A playoff game last bight between Roosevelt (near Lubbock) and Gunter. On one play in the second quarter the Roosevelt slot guy went in motion. But instead of taking a step back and running behind the offensive line, he took a step forward and ran between the offensive and defensive line. No one jumped and they ran the play like it was perfectly normal. The refs didn't even throw a flag until someone finally realized what happened long after the play was over.
  21. What are they going to push the legislature to rename in honor of Elko for his unloyalty?
  22. Everybody's doin' it! KCup17 9:08a AG Most athletic departments in the country run at a deficit. I think something in the range of 70%. Either run at at a deficit or push it on the university as institutional debt.
  23. So besides the "Next year is the year" (or 2023 at the latest) thread, https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3256268 there is a new thought/problem: Jimbo is recruiting so many 4/5* players they're going to have to revoke offers of all the lesser * players on the team to make room for them https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3256512
