  1. My mom had to use a talker like that due to laryngeal cancer. One day when we were down at MD Anderson for a radiation treatment we went down to the cafeteria for lunch. There was a little girl about 5 years old in line behind us with her mom. She heard my mom say something to me and her eyes got huge and she gasped audibly. Then she turned to her mom and in that 5 year old "whisper" said, "Momma! That lady's a robot!" My mom humored her by acting like a robot the rest of the time we were in line. Later, she saw my mom eat some food and freaked out about the robot being able to eat. It was cute, and funny, as hell.
  2. I'm burning post oak in my offset turning spare ribs and top loin into delicious smoked meats and making my neighborhood smell like Lockhart. Happy Birthday, America. I love you, warts and all.
  3. The Windows sound on those always gets me.
  4. We each have our own tastes. I know several people who don't like green chiles.
  5. Having the perfect onion on your cheeseburger. Not sweet, not too mild, and not too hot. It just fits in with the mustard and pickles to bring the perfect spice to the whole burger. Sublime.
  6. I bet he got a nice bowl of soup with that jacket.
  7. I wonder how many questions he'll get in his press conference about burner phones, recruiting for Texas, and when he knew that he was going to Texas. You know that the texags "journalists" are dieing to ask those questions.
  8. No, just doing yard work around the house today. Just brutally hot, and I'm not 19 anymore.
  9. Working in this heat is kicking my ass. I was an out of shape office pogue for way too long.
  10. The city from which I retired last year has everyone working a summer flex schedule of four 10 hour days per week this summer. The exception is holidays. Weeks with holidays are four 8 hour days and a 8 hour holiday. So this year everyone is getting screwed out of a four day weekend AND the supervisors still have to figure out how to cover 24/7/365 operations with split schedules. Glad that's not me.
  11. Man, there you go, harshing my mellow.
  12. I hope that UW makes a better hire than aggy just to see texags explode with excuses and rationalizations.
  13. I'm in, although I feel a little bad sending them to Ohio.
  14. 77K former aggy per year voting to destroy UT > 40K per year is their math.
  15. I just got a text about that. Maybe aggy will stop doing stupid things with taxpayer money. Who the hell am I kidding? They'll never stop doing stupid things.
  16. Earley better pray that he wins big from the start. Any setback or drop in production will be blamed on Schloss and UT sending Earley to aggy to finish destroying their baseball program. If, no, when Texas beats the wheels off of aggy, Earley will get roasted.
  17. Cut the belly open first. If you let the decomposition gases build up it will float.
  18. If you look closely at those two headstones center left you can see that one has "Aggy Hopes" engraved on it, and the other has "Aggy Dreams". CDC personally buried them there.
  19. They should promote one of the current assistants to ensure that they are fully bought in to the aggy ethos. Oh, yeah. They left, too. Never mind.
  20. That's fair. I still don't blame Schloss for being emotional right after the loss, though.
  21. Oh, no! Not dastardly! However will we recover from such a stinging rebuke?
  22. Except that he didn't say that. Watch it again. It was mostly in past tense, and he never said that he wasn't leaving. He and his team had just come within a tag and a hit of winning a national championship and were processing that when the reporter asked a question that should have waited a day. The douche was the reporter. I'm impressed as hell with Schloss. He apparently knew about the move since the SEC tournament and still coached aggy to win. A team doesn't make the final series, destroying everything in their path on the way, with a checked out coach. He knew that he was leaving, but still coached through the end. That's professionalism and dedication. I like it.
  23. If it's either Schloss or Vitello I wouldn't expect an announcement until tomorrow or Thursday. Give them time to wrap up things with their team and administration.
  24. His apartment was about 2 1/2 miles from the Oso WWTP, relatively close. The closer you get to a WWTP, the larger the mains must be to carry the flow as the smaller mains join together. If he fell or was placed into an open manhole that close to the plant, the mains should easily be four feet or greater. We'll see what the investigation finds.
  25. Usually disposing of a body in a manhole would result in the body being discovered pretty quickly. Unless the main is four feet or greater in diameter, the body will plug up the main and cause an overflow somewhere upstream. The body would be found when a crew found and cleared the stoppage. If the main was four feet or more in diameter, the body would wash down until it got to a lift station, where it would just float around the wetwell of the lift station until it decomposed enough for parts to pass through the pumps. It looks like that could be what happened here.
