  1. Yeah, Caesars continues its journey to full dump. The last time I stayed there (2016?) the rooms hadn’t been renovated since the late 80’s. Every year the floor looks crappier as CTJ said. We only opted to walk through it to get to dinner two nights this week (Amalfi and Roku sushi) because the alternative was walking down the sidewalk in 113F heat.
  2. We went back to Beauty and Essex for dinner last night and it’s still on point. The prime rib French dip sandwiches and tuna poke tacos were the favorites. Southern chicken sliders were good but quite same tier. While one never expects to be wow’d by brussel sprouts, we were sad these tasted like a ready bake version you buy from HEB. Mushroom truffle risotto was good. We went with the beignet style donuts for dessert and they were awesome and probably 5000 calories. End report.
  3. TAKE THE $230 MILLION, PUSSY! Arizona is dumb and in a couple years we can look forward to them being an even more pathetic version of the 2021 Seahawks or Falcons after their QBs’ mega contracts kicked in.
  4. How come you never heard about this before? Well, that’s not something the State Department tells dependents when the battle occurred over the wrong line on some map.
  5. I asked the doc if “scalpel-free” was just marketing bullshit, and he said it was. Then he holds up the scalpel to show me he’d already used it. He explained the obvious, that using some kind of blunt forceps to puncture or stretch a hole open in your sack, you risk a lot of collateral damage and it would be more painful anyway. He did acknowledge that most urologists older than 50 or 55 use the old school method of a large incision, while more recently trained guys make a tiny nick in the sack just large enough to fish out the vas deferens and cut them. I didn’t even need a bandaid, let alone stitches; just applied pressure with gauze for a couple hours simultaneously with frozen pea bag.
  6. I went to Dr. Hogan in the Woodlands last Monday and it was about as pleasant as it could be. Only two mild pinch sensations on the lidocaine, and I was bullshitting with him the entire procedure about the most fucked up things we’d seen doctors do (urology for him, spine for me). He did it solo without an awkward lady in the room holding up my junk. I was diligent with the frozen peas for 48 hours, then went shooting on a sporting clays course on Thursday without issue. Never experienced swelling or bruising. One week out, I still get the occasional sore feeling like being thumped in the balls. His sperm test is after 90 days, you drop off your cup sample at any Quest. I told my wife the doctor encouraged 90 ejaculations in 90 days and she seems to have bought it.
  7. In the NFL it’s nearly impossible to win a championship without an elite QB, and since at any time there are about 10 of them teams have to pay $40M+. I’m sure some better baseball fans than me will clap back at this with counter examples, but how often does paying an MLB player $300-500M guaranteed or $40M+ per year a good ROI? The Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodger were infamous for how much $/win they spent compared to other good teams. Trout is/was the best player, and the Angels aren’t winning shit while paying him and Rendon mega bucks. Half this board was irate that Houston didn’t offer more to Carlos than they did, but it’s hard to argue as of today that Peña isn’t a way better value. Fuck Scott Boras. Let other teams get saddled with these contracts that look horrible in a couple years and drag franchises down. The Dodgers and Yankees can only sign so many guys to those contracts, maybe it’s time for the other teams to put their feet down and not give in to the demands of a 0.250 hitter that expects to get 40% of an average team’s payroll for the next 10 years.
  8. “I WANT TO COMPETE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME AT THIS STAGE…besides strippers and cheeseburgers.”
  9. This thread needs a new title. I get depressed every time it pops up.
  10. We switched to stream with DirecTVnow/ATTnow/DirecTVstream 3 years ago. When we cut cable, we went from >$150/mo tv and internet bill to $60 Google fiber and $35 DirecTV Now. The streaming companies have all edged their pricing up so they are like $60-70/month for the basic package. I’m considering cutting this now since we don’t want much live tv. I nearly canceled live tv streaming a year ago in favor of Locast (free streaming of local over-air channels NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, CW, PBS, Telemundo). Locast got buttfucked by a court that they could provide for free to consumers over the internet what they could already get for free with bunny eats antennae. Maybe that was a prelude to local NBC/CBS/ABC/Fox affiliates offering live streaming, but I have not generally seen it. I’ll probably move to the Hulu Live + Disney + ESPN bundle and save about $5/mo until the next time they jack up prices. If I was smarter, I’d cancel live tv every year after the super bowl and pick it back up for the UT opener in September.
  11. They should’ve gone with a white helmet to give a nod to the Oilers days.
  12. Best donuts in Austin at S&H. After living in East Austin for 12 years and rotating Saturday breakfast between Kerbey, Paco’s, and S&H, the past year in Houston suburbia makes me feel like Henry Hill getting his egg noodles and ketchup. I miss that Cambodian lady and her donuts.
  13. They could lose him to save $33M/yr? For the Nth time on this page, Ayton cannot be traded for 6 months (realistically 12 months). This was not to flip Ayton for KD, unless you are poorly describing a scenario where they had to resign Ayton to pair with KD after trading Devin Booker to the Nets?
  14. The shaggybevo softball team that played down at Riverside and Pleasant Valley back in the day wasn’t terrible. I’d say I’m sorry we didn’t play again, except I bet y’all did play again and didn’t invite me because I refused to utilize Captain America as a cutoff man.
  15. I am on my second summer with Ryobi 40V self-propelled mower. I’m on a quarter acre and the one battery can do my front and half my back. I usually recharge after mowing the front, and take that time to weed eat. I bought the corresponding Ryobi 40V multi-tool where you can sub the string trimmer end with an edger. I love it for now. I’ll hate it if the battery starts not holding charge in year 3 or 4.
  16. Holsteins hasn’t been great in a few years, but it was good for late night drunk hunger. After Lurch reported they no longer give you the shake mixing cup (which is about 50% of the shake), I’m a hard pass.
  17. Is the breakfast buffet at Paris still closed? Sounds like it. We are staying at Cosmo again but looking for a nearby buffet besides the on-site Wicked Spoon.
  18. TCU should be sending Bobby Bonilla-style commission checks to LaDanian Tomlinson and Coach Fran for giving TCU this fake image of sports prestige. They are athletically average, academically below average, and don’t have an alumni base comparable to most P5 schools. They were just lucky to fall into aggy’s spot in the Big 12.
  19. Yeah, Noir is kind of already undead. The show runner did a tease interview yesterday and made some comment about two versions of Noir with two actors, so a rebirth type thing might happen. In the comic, wasn’t he some kind of failed proto-version or failed clone of Homelander, or the “black noir” of him? In the Amazon show, his powers are a hybrid of Batman and Wolverine.
  20. President Bill Clinton didn’t step in when that gum chewing kid in Singapore was strapped onto a wood pole with his dick in the hole on the pole while a samurai caned his buttocks until the flesh was removed. Chewing gum be punished by ass torture should be more objectionable to the US and world at large than taking concentrated THC oil on a plane in Russia. She did the crime and should face the punishment. I haven’t even got the sense she or her people think she did anything wrong just because they believe weed should be legal everywhere.
  21. Seems like the Boys’ odds got worse for next season.
