  1. It never gets old saying just how great Harlan is on pxp. Even an hour after the game was completed.
  2. Periodic PSA on the great resource that is Hydromet. https://hydromet.lcra.org/
  3. Some more development out west...maybe us deprived souls down south will get something.
  4. May need to go back to Costa Rica for a redo.
  5. perty snek
  6. KXAN saying nastiness is likely early this evening, with hail as large as basketballs. Or maybe they said egg-sized. Either way, PSA.
  7. Guessing Nomadic Matt will also miss Torchy's.
  8. Good for OP in getting this going. Go to the AHH if you can. It does a great job on this (called the HeartSaver CT scan). Easy, quick and painless procedure. The ARC even has coupons occasionally for 1/2 off on this. Even without one the thing is dirt cheap and pays off infinitely with the peace of mind you get from a clean result, or the followup needed to address an issue. Either way, it's a win.
  9. Probably could care less that you're pointing out his ineptness.
  10. RIP mashed potatoes.
  11. Simple is fearful that the Mavs may fall into the obyss.
  12. Give it a couple hours, top. We'll see the pic in the Town Lake serial killer thread.
  13. No disagreement on Felix's. Oysters are better me thinks. Acme is still really good and the known entertainment value from Norman is the kicker on the overall experience, for me at least. Can't lose with either. Definitely agree on the up-front tip angle.
  14. Heading to New Orleans in two weeks. Haven't been in over a year but I guess Norman is still around at Acme. Fewer things better than getting a bar seat near / next to the front window and having him there to serve and story tell. Watching the Masters this weekend reminded me of his stories working the dinner a couple of times. Norman always has plenty to talk about and will usually work the (really) big ones into your dozen on the half shell.
  15. Plohetski really earned his skins in 2018 covering the Austin bomber. Outstanding reporting. He's moving more and more from the Statesman to KVUE (both Gannett-owned) which probably makes sense given the inevitable death of the newspaper business. Plus he'll ultimately be more marketable on the television side. I think Plohetski will be a big presence in the national media at some point.
  16. If you're incapable of looking at what I said above then I'll reiterate it - Abbott is sinking to a new low by ignoring what the jury found in this case. He's embarrassing. Someone said Abbott was the worst Texan ever. I said it was Mayfield. If you're attaching any seriousness toward a post comparing an irrelevant football player to a mind-numbing governor of this state then there is only so much hand holding I can do. It was a joke. Move on.
  17. Chuckling about anything, on Surly? Dear lord. You've been on this board awhile I'm sure. Sometimes it gets to that. I gave up a long time ago trying to rationalize and / or justify anything scumbag politicians do, of any persuasion. This is just another exhibit. I get what you're saying but at some point you throw up your hands and give up. I'll try and return to being serious if that's possible given the last 6 hours. I don't follow much media in this town, it's all over the place and borders on stupidity in many cases, ranging from the Chronicle, to KLBJ AM to the Statesman and everywhere in between. Ed Clements is considered a go-to source in this town, it's that bad. I do follow and trust Tony Plohetski. You all should all know and follow him if you're interested in outstanding investigative reporting. He's the best journalist in the city and one of the best in the country. When Plohetskii holds court, it normally merits one's attention. Interesting analysis on the Perry case with a couple of high profiles in Austin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6k95mKygpA
  18. Damn straight.
  19. I was willing to give someone else a chance on this to absorb some levity. Bad audience.
  20. Fresh for me, on everything. Slice, dice, especially in the cast iron or whole on the grill. Can never get enough of them.
  21. It's Baker Mayfield. Strong case for Abbott afterward.
  22. The jury spoke. You can agree with the decision or disagree with it. That's your prerogative as citizen of the state, Abbott. But trying to swing your dick because it can be swung is just laughable and embarrassing. Respect what the jury found. I fucking hate politicians.
  23. I'll try spelling it out as you're struggling to get across the finish line. I despise any machismo-laden individual who thinks it's okay to walk around in public wearing an AK-47. Period, end of story. It takes imbecility to another level. There could have been 5 Garrett Fosters that night with their own big statements hanging around their necks, except they could have all been MAGA-driven wing nuts, and if they'd been shot in the same situation I'd have the said the same thing. Except I probably would have said it 5 times. Move on. Everything doesn't have to be about politics. Sometimes it's simply about people making stupid choices.
  24. I'll revisit as you seem to need it. I don't get into politics, red, blue or whatever. I am into sensibility and especially averse to people whose stupidity can cost lives. Buffoons made it "ok" for people to carry around AK-47s in public. If you choose to be an extension of that buffoonery then accept that it can yield consequences. Both of these people had stupid traits and they've paid for it in their own way.
  25. Perry sounds like an asshole and assholes ultimately get theirs in some fashion or the other. Sounds like he needs to go sit in prison for awhile. I expect him to be sentenced as such Tuesday. Foster was an unbridled cretin. In a very intense and volatile environment he was in a mask and sporting an AK-47 around his neck. That's not someone looking to deliver first communion. Did he deserve to be shot? I don't know. I wasn't in the courtroom to hear all the evidence. But was Foster, at a minimum, asking for trouble? Next question. I've no sympathy for either. Like I said, I hate radicals to a core, doesn't matter whether their preferred color is blue, red, yellow or whatever. You carry some of the baggage around that both of those guys did and it's not always going to end well. Be civil. Walk straight. Don't do unhinged, dumb shit. You'll probably stay above ground for a long time and at the same time stay out of a cage as well.
