  1. Oh yeah it was baboontyme. I think I got to know him on trivia crack.
  2. Great game. I finally convinced husband to look into going to Bahamas next year for thanksgiving and now I find out Baylor is playing in Vegas next year instead which will be better basketball I guess but not as appealing locale. Who is the sparty fan I used to spar on the old site with?
  3. @lchorn I’m a fundraiser—HMU if you want to give to some well-deserving teachers a year end bonus!
  4. You’d have to give exactly at 7am on Tuesday 11/30 to be eligible for the match on Facebook.
  5. Any recs for our beach trip with friends next summer? All-inclusive adults only resorts (I prefer to stay at hotels and eat locally, but with this group I agree all-inclusive is much better) Shortish flights (<4 hours) from Dallas or Houston (bonus if direct from Austin) 5 diamond or above--we've liked Secrets Maroma, rooms were great, but I liked about 75% of the food there so don't want to go lower quality than Secrets Maroma no chance or low chance of saragassum What I'm finding from google is that the last two requirements are mutually exclusive (not a lot of highly rated all-inclusives to choose from on the west side of isla or cozumel). Any ideas?
  6. dead fish is a great setting with fantastic potential---way too spotty food-wise for me to ever be willing to take a chance on it though. alexander's in salado has a great ambience on the creek and much more reliably decent food.
  7. With good reason. There’s one table of 4, one table of 2, and seating for six at bars (3 sets of 2). I would think the outdoor experience would be extremely disappointing comparatively—the food is good but not amazing it’s more about the experience. Snacks on the table when seated were spicy pickles, togarashi popcorn and spicy pretzels. There’s no hard liquor but they have a big sake selection, champagne, red and white wine, and one beer (maybe called Orion?). First course cucumber gazpacho Second course tuna nigiri Third course creamed sesame spinach with mushrooms Fourth course can’t remember Fifth course giant prawns (2 each) with coconut sticky rice Sixth An amazing Panna cotta with strawberry lime and mint Seventh course a slice of pizza
  8. Tokyo record bar was really really fun. We loved it.
  9. Just had a great meal at Pasquale Jones. Tokyo record bar tomorrow.
  10. any restaurant recommendations for my 16 year old hipster-wannabe daughter and me for 2 weeks away? she's decently adventurous, but for her the decor/ambience will be more important than the food.
  11. In the triangle you clean them a little bit first—rip off eyes, top shell and clean out gills and lungs with cold water. Take out reproductive organs, and then rip them in half. Some people kind of precrack the claws too. Then dredge in zestful seasoning and deep fry. You have cayenne pepper in your cuticles for days.
  12. These look way more battered than mine. Before: After:
  13. i have a crab guy i drive to in killeen that i meet in the strip club parking lot. live blue crabs imported from the gulf almost every friday. papa jazzy takes good care of me (though he does think i'm insane to deep fry them). also crawfish, shrimp, oysters. super high quality. you must call ahead. https://www.facebook.com/papajazzysseafoodexpress
  14. My husband and I are about to begin remodeling the bathrooms on our 1971 ranch style home in Bell County. He wants to do shower only bathrooms since we only use the tub annually or so (when friends/family with babies come to stay with us), but I can’t imagine having a house without a single bathtub. Though I do concede his point that a bathroom remodel is only good for 10 years or so, and we don’t plan to sell in that time period, it seems silly to take one out to put one in if we sold. Any thoughts?
  15. Guilty! Me, last night: Guess how many gallons of gas my Yukon xl holds?
  16. Yes. Please. I joined shaggy because you guys are clever and hilarious (about 1000x more interesting than any of my Baylor boards). Lazy, one-sentence, rep-whoring posts about rape/murder are boring and tired. I wish the mods would fly a banner at the top of the page that says they “are not our standard.”
  17. How else do you guys think we can get transfers from Presbyterian and UNC-Asheville?? Definitely cheating! Remember that dirty flyer Coach Drew made about recruiting all-Americans in 2006? It was so mean!
  18. These boys were three years old when Coach Bliss got fired and in middle school when Coach Briles got fired.
  19. I love you Adam Flagler. Freaking nails.
  20. Piped in crowd noise sucks. Go bears!!
  21. Just booked flights to go watch my beloved Baylor bears on Monday—what do you guys think about ticket prices? I know historically that waiting benefits buyers, but what about with 25% capacity? Should I nail it down now before the game ends?
  22. That is the mildest unsportsmanlike conduct offense I’ve ever seen.
