    Wouldn’t be surprised if one got electrocuted then the other got it when he tried to help the other.

    Electricity is fucked up. I’m nervous as shit standing there with the hook and I don’t ever touch the shit.

    Had that same thought.  Electrical current cannot be seen and therefore when trying to help someone who is electrocuted can end up killing both people.  This is a terrible tragedy and one that a family will suffer and grieve forever.

    True for me. I'm even a brk.b shareholder now.

    Likewise, and when I think about what could have been had I parked all of that cash in brk.a, well, I never wanted to be a gazillionaire anyway.

    Replace "they have" with "Sasha has".

     

    This is absolutely correct.  When Ed was married to Vickie, the occupancy rates were 95%, parking was free after 5pm, and Sundance was an outstanding destination.

    I don’t know how anyone “frequents” Franklins unless they are retired

    I am and when in Austin, I do.  But also enjoy Interstellar.

    I miss the days when you could show up at 10:45 and be fourth in line for the 11am opening.  Same thing that happened when Aaron Franklin was named #1.  But still love the quality and experience at both of these places enough to frequent them.

    I’ve been drinking a lot on top of taking Lunesta and that combination put me in the ER Saturday morning as I was unresponsive when my wife tried to wake me. So, per the ER doctor and my PCP no more sleeping pills and no more alcohol. I’ve used alcohol as a crutch to deal with chronic pain and as a sedative allowing me to sleep. Then, I’d wake up in the middle of the night, unable to get back to sleep unless I drank more.  My blood alcohol level in the ER was .345.   Something like this had to happen forcing me to modify my behavior, so I don’t wake up dead.  My blood alcohol level in the ER was .345.  I knew this day of reckoning would come.  I’m just glad I’m alive to see it.

    Glad you came to.  A lot of us never regain consciousness and lose the battle with the bottle.  Your BAC tells me you qualify as someone who can't stop once you start drinking and you are correct to realize that you are now at a turning point.  There are a lot of us here on this thread that are willing to share our experience which is not unlike yours in many respects.  Feel free to message me if I can be of any help to you finding the solution to your alcohol problem.

    This is the best BBQ in the world. Easily. Ive been searching for a place to supplant Truth for almost 8 years now and this is it. If its not #1 on the next top 50, ill be shocked. Ill also be shocked if it doesnt win Most Outstanding Restaurant in America at James Beard Awards this year

    Found this excellent when my friend and I did our barbecue run last fall.  Definitely top 10/top 5 worthy in all offerings.

    Apparently an Aggie loyalist just attempted a bonfire recreation in lower Manhattan just now.  They are dedicated, i’ll give ‘em that. 

    There are certainly better ways to celebrate a jury selection.  And does ATM play NYU this year?

  9. Good for you zetjas.  I was told by my first sponsor that the steps are in the order they are to achieve the following: clarity-1, sanity-2,accountability -3-9, responsibility10-12.  I had none of these while drinking nor when I wasn't drinking but no sponsor and not working the steps.  If you ever make it to Fort Worth, look me up at the Harbor Club on West 5th.  I am there regularly most days at the 7am meeting and will buy you a cup of 90 weight coffee before the meeting starts with this caveat:  We request a three minute time limit on sharing to allow as many as possible to participate!☺️

    I would think they could conceive some kind of nested pyramid construction -- think "Russian dolls" -- where logs are lashed to welded steel frames, layer by layer so it gets taller and wider out to the final dimensions.  The frames might not be able to take the heat, though.  (Recall WTC's steel structure being weakened by burning jet fuel, but that could be at a higher temperature than wood, I don't know.)  Regardless, it's probably cost prohibitive.  Maybe Jimbo could loan them some money.

    You win the internets today.

    That’s why I gave a big chuckle when, during the credits, they showed a letter the woman wrote where she was talking about the Queen.

    Something about the eloquence in British accent when talking like a lower class hooker makes it less improper imho.  Laughed until my sides hurt and learned some new rather proper insults to boot.

    Thanks for the rec 

    Wanted more chicken lady and less cranky old man, but overall enjoyable 

    The closing scene makes it hard to believe that Olivia Colman played both the Queen and this character, but what a talented actor.

  13. The smashburger at Panthercity BBQ has  double brisket patties  for a buck cheaper.  Wonder if Will Churchill taking over has anything to do with the change in the Heimburger?  As far as their lower prices on meat at Heim, same as it ever was like David Byrne said.

    Oh, and the Tuesday night Primary Purpose big book study in Dallas is an interesting experience if you’ve never been.

    Dallas or Arlington?  Sorry for you loss amigo.

    In jail for under a gram? That's fucking stupid.

    Multitudes of abused sheep endorse this statement. But then, animal husbandry is a required course.

    I swear I’ve got pictures somewhere from driving around a couple days after. The initial touchdown was less than a mile from my apartment in River Oaks, and it tore apart my old HS athletic building and football stadium. I had already graduated in 99 though so it didn’t really affect me.

    An defense attorney friend officed on the top floor of the bank one building and his office was destroyed.  Some of his case files were found in Haltom City months afterward.  Giant trees in his Rivercrest home were uprooted and tore up what remained of his roof.

    Dan's is cheaper, better, and on my way home from work. 

    I like P. Terry's better than WB and have for awhile now. 

    I just don't really have a reason to eat at WB anymore. 

    Having grown up two blocks from the original store in Corpus Christi where Harmon Dobson started WB, I couldn't agree more (sadly). When the cheese on a double double doesn't melt, it says forget about hot fresh and made to order. Many better options available these days in DFW which makes WB an afterthought.

    Pork chop and (free) beans at Cooper’s in Llano.  Only 2 things on the menu worth eating.

    And that's being generous with the chop.
