  1. Don't think it was me, maybe Baboon - though there are a couple of others. 
    I am a football fan first, and a March Madness hoops fan; so I was watching the Longhorns football game. I just don't get excited about college hoops games before late February. That is when Izzo has really worked his magic.

    Oh yeah it was baboontyme. I think I got to know him on trivia crack.
  2. I just now did a "Giving Tuesday" thing on my own Facebook acct. & kicked $ 25 to the Capitol Area Council for Scouts BSA.

    "META" is doing a match of up to $ 8mil, so there's always the possibility your donation could be doubled.

    Also, you could get a membership & support KUT / 90.5, the local NPR affiliate. You're gonna get a tote bag outta that one.

    You’d have to give exactly at 7am on Tuesday 11/30 to be eligible for the match on Facebook.
  3. 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?

  4. It has been on my list, and it is really hard to get into.

    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
  5. So, they’re battered and fried and then you have to shell them?

    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.

    These look way more battered than mine.

    Where to procure live blue crabs in ATX?

    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.

  8. 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?


  9. Look, hate on Baylor all you want, but quite a bit of the tumor was removed. 
    At least add to the discussion.



    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.”

  10. He does dirty stuff.
    Don’t ask questions and definitely don’t ask for specifics.
    Just throw out a bunch of likes and nod your head and get with the program.

    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!
