  1. I hear and read folks criticizing quality college education all the time, saying "I send my kids to college for education, not indoctrination!" Bullshit. They want only indoctrination, without education. Especially at aggy.
  2. Of course not. But I can, and would.
  3. Not exactly the same, but similar: My dad took my mom fishing at Packery Channel near Corpus the evening before I was born. He got the car stuck there and almost didn't get it out. Less than 12 hours later, yours truly emerged. My Grandma (mom's mom) damn near brained my dad for that. She was still giving him what-for while he held me for the first time. My dad's South Texas bonafides are obvious, too.
  4. I seem to recall that they filled it in because it kept filling in naturally and the cost of dredging it out frequently was too high to sustain. A lot of folks wanted it kept open, but wanted everyone else to pay for it.
  5. I think that it will be an amalgamation of the first two choices. The country will remain split enough that the fascism is an ever present threat, but that we will totter along as a democracy, barely holding off the fascists. Until everyone gets tired and just says, "Fuck it. The fascists can have it."
  6. "To Russia With Hate"
  7. Paul Reubens - the only man in Hollywood canceled for touching himself, not someone else. ETA - I need to start doing a secret word of the day at work. My boss will love it.
  8. Fuck Russia. Fuck Putin. Fuck anyone who assists them in any way.
  9. Like I said in this thread about a year ago, there are going to be awesome barn finds in Ukraine for years.
  10. There cannot be a more perfect avatar for this post. I'd rep it four or five times, if I could.
  11. Prime opportunity to troll her about why she doesn't have a whole house filter and under sink reverse osmosis units on every sink in the house. Probably too poor. Or ask when she last cleaned her coffee maker and her cups. Strongly imply that she doesn't wash her dishes. Or is too poor to have a dish washer. Lots of fun to be had here.
  12. Help me out here. If Flynn didn't see any holes in it, what's to add? That don't make no sense at all.
  13. I'm in for $100.
  14. I thought that you had to heat it to make the roux.
  15. I've lived in several small towns. People in small towns are the backstabbingest motherfuckers I've ever seen. They only have someone's back when they've cut it out and put it in the back of their truck.
  16. I used to work with a guy whose dad grew sorghum and cotton in Robstown. He went to UT, and he sent his oldest son to UT. When my former co-worker was a senior in high school, his dad told him that, while The University was the greatest school in Texas, he (former co-worker) should go to aggy. He did, and got a degree in Parks and Rec. He never worked in Parks and Rec, but he knew the shit out of how to grow grass.
  17. I have been thinking about my post upthread, and I have an improvement on it: Federalize the entire Texas National Guard and Air National Guard to address the "border crises". Have them remove the floats and razor wire and all other non-federal obstructions and store them at Fort Cavazos. Then set them as guards to prevent any further fuckery by Abbott. Abbott won't have anyone beyond DPS to execute his demented orders, and he won't be able to get to the removed material.
  18. I admit that I have not seen this. If this is so, let her keep finding out.
  19. President Biden should send active duty Navy, Army, and Marine troops to remove the floats and razor wire and dare Abbott to try to stop them. Fuck this "sue them and let the Supreme Court rule that states have the right to murder people at their borders" shit.
  20. Why, 3 and 8, of course. Am I allowed to use a stick, club, or boat oar to keep the others from getting out?
  21. I saw on the news last night that Banks will not receive a pay-out or severance package. They've also started calling it a resignation, when she clearly said retirement. I don't think that she knew about the revisions and saw that she was going to be the scapegoat. I think she objected to what was going on and hit the bricks. Being who and what they are, aggy will smear her for not playing along.
  22. And the F-16s can haul and shoot nearly anything in the NATO inventory. Good to have that capability.
  23. There may be some haggling about Wagner = Russia, but an invasion from Belarusian territory will definitely trigger Article 5 on Belarus. Any Russian assets in Belarus would be subject to "accidental" destruction, or intentional if used to assist the invasion. If invaded, I don't think that Poland would balk at taking out all military assets in Belarus, just to be sure.
  24. Next time I call in sick I'm blaming an imbalance of the humors.
