  1. “I asked for a Dr. Pepper. Only assholes drink Mr. Pibb.”
  2. Unrelated, but being the halls of a packed Superdome shortly after reopening post Katrina was terrifying. Low ceilings and super claustrophobic. A small panic could have lead to horrible stampede and death. Only time I’ve felt really scared for my safety.
  3. Is Bottle Rocket really that good? It’s the only one that I don’t really remember the plot. All the others stuck with me. Haven’t seen French.
  4. He absolutely nailed the West Texas accent and manerisms. Just spot on. He sounds just like me and my Abilene friends when we are getting thick into the accent.
  5. This string of quotes just kills me..... “Have a drink. It’ll make me look younger.” (S4, E5) “I told him to be himself. That was pretty mean, I guess.” (S4, E6) “I can’t say I know my furs that well. I know my mother had a chinchilla; I was always on the verge of a romantic relationship with it.” (S4, E6) (Woman in bar: “Is that Don Draper? Is he attached?”) “To that glass? Absolutely.” (S4, E6) https://www.vulture.com/2013/04/mad-men-complete-quips-of-roger-sterling.html I just finished rewatching seasons 3-7. I'm in a different place in life and frame of mind than the last time I watched it. I'd like to buy the world a Coke. I want to move on to another show, but I also kind of want to go back for seasons 1 and 2. Starting at season 3 was an arbitrary choice so that I wouldn't get bored with the pilot. Also: “Have another. It’s 9:30, for God’s sake.” (S3, E13)
  6. It’s a mistake to be conspicuously happy. Some people don’t like it.

    Dexter

    The ritch frat guy is horribly caricatured. So is the hunting. Otherwise, fun to see Dex again.
  8. 3 or 4 cylinders wouldn't hold compression. Rebuild may not have been successful, so not work the risk. That's what they said. That lid in the garage is a Carrera S.

    Working Models

    Hoping to start it this weekend with my old dad in town.
  10. I considered it, but I think that would be overt. If someone gets the costume as is, great. If I have to explain it, then I won’t like them (well at least, I will think less of them….as a person). Olds and kids excluded from my horrible, punitive judgement.
  11. Nice pool. Looks kind of like mine.
  12. I would like these referrals please!
  13. It’s not? I just remember pigs eating feet and Rambo Ramboning pig owners. Sounds close.
  14. https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/round-rock-new-motor-avalanche-ltznew/7397237713.html NEW MOTOR! 3yr/100k WARRANTY! NEW INTERIOR! NEW TIRES & BRAKES! 35k on transmission. Runs and looks like new. Cold AC. I still get compliments from strangers every day in this Avalanche LTZ 4WD! 255k chasis miles. Hood paint has failed and some hail damage (easily and cheaply repaired). This is not a work beater. This is a desiarable model of truck that is ready to give another 15 years of service. I'm tempted to store it for a few years until my son is old enough to drive. You won't find a better Avalanche!
  15. In honor of Norm, I'm dressing up as Terd Ferguson. Funny hat, bolo tie, red shirt, leather jacket, mustache; it's going to be great!
  16. Mostly residential for right now. I've done lots of commercial in the past though, so it would be in the plan.
  17. I think my heater had its last summer. Sensors and boards have been replaced several times. (It also said er13) New water puddle too Any recommendations for repairs? I also will need the pebble finish redone eventually. Thanks!
  18. Not photos, but I got to play with a friends iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. I drew these last night. I thought they were cool, but the gummy I took was hitting pretty hard too.
  19. I posted this in the vintage stereo thread too. I studied composition a little after college. I like how the lines lead the eye and the colors are cool. It’s unedited, so it could be improved with some lighting adjustments. Any comments on my amateur effort appreciated.
  20. I am looking for a book keeper and CPA for my construction company. Maybe a business lawyer too. I definitely need to review my insurance too. Business is booming, and I need to do a better job of delegating what I can. Plus CYA better in my contracts and liability. Thanks! #OUsux
  21. Looking for a SATA cable for my son’s jalopy pc build. Bonus cool vinyl pic
