  1. My first time at O'Leary's in the 1849 Village was in 1971. A friend had a birthday party there and he was served a Shannon's Shenanigan-two very hot looking TCU coed waitresses came out, put a drop cloth napkin around his neck, began singing a song about a hot time in the old town tonight, and started shoveling spoonfuls of a huge banana split into his mug. It was always a big date to go to the General Cinema Opera House theatre and then top it off with a visit to O'Leary's.
  2. I did that with my Bailey (pictured at left) as well. No ragrets.
  3. Cue George Strait. . . .NOT!
  4. Memento. Now in my sixth day with Covid (even with 2Xshots and booster), I went back to watch the excellent performances by Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano. Was just as amazed/confused until the end as the first time I watched it but appreciate the outstanding work by Christopher Nolan in writing and directing this remarkable film.

    Cooper's in FW and Hard 8 both fit this profile. Can't see why anyone would go to either of them as they don't even rate mediocre.

    BOOM (Madden)

    Listened to KTCK this morning who played the commercials we all remember here. Didn't realize he retired at 42 as a coach. Always remember when the Madden Cruiser came to DFW and his refusal to fly anywhere. Also wonder what percentage of EA Sports Madden products he owned-reportedly this company is a multi-billion dollar operation. Glad Madden now joins his former partner Pat Summerall and will probably get the playoff announcing gig for the rest of eternity.
  7. Go for TWO!! Best decision we have made three times now. Good luck on finding your newest canine kids.
  8. Haven't read where Southwest has cancelled numerous flights like Delta and United. Currently in DC and flying out (HOPEFULLY!!) on Monday night. Nephew said no problem if we have to stay a few more days at their place on Capitol Hill, but I'm ready to get back to Texas.
  9. Or in the words of Chris Rock. "PUT SOME 'TUSSIN ON IT!!"
  10. Makes waking up worth it every day when our two come announce it's time to go outside and then be fed.🙂
  11. Give me a punter who can dictate field position by his directional kicking eight days a week. This alone would be worth a game or more each season if your team is worth a damn. Both points here are correct though.
  12. In the early 80's, El Fenix on Forest Lane had an all you could eat buffet at lunch which was OUTSTANDING. And Griff's still thrives in Ft. Worth with several locations, my favorite being in River Oaks. I miss going through the kitchen at Joe T's when it was a great place to eat, and worked a block south of their location for 21 years until retiring in January. Their best days are behind them sadly, imho.
  13. Looks more like the St. Patrick's Day spirit, but they obviously enjoyed it!
  14. Growing up in Corpus, it was always excellent getting to see Texas A&I play football, and Bailey was an amazing player.
  15. Briles' teams were impressive, but I believe they would be beaten. I saw all four title wins by Stephenville, a 4A team and believe Westlake would have the guns to outscore their offense and could stifle them defensively.
  16. My UMHB alumni niece in Boise is thrilled. She was also the trainer at Lorena after graduation, who won the Div.1 3A title today.

    I'm in DC until the 27th, but will be going here before 2021 comes to a close.

    RIP Dave Campbell

    Texas Football Magazine Bill DeOre and Bill McLanahan editorial cartoons of the SWC. These are the things I miss the most about growing up in the 60's. Dave Campbell did the most outstanding job of documenting all of Texas football, from the six man squads to the Cowboys. No one will ever come close to what he produced. RIP to a Texas legend.
  19. Still cashing those royalty checks I bet😜
  20. My first venture into NYC and I can say that you nailed it from their walking speed to being more friendly than I expected. We had dinner at Junior's last night and walked across to the Schubert Theatre to see Jeff Daniels in To Kill a Mockingbird-what a wonderful memory to be taking home with us and planning the next visit.
  21. Sending positive thoughts to both of you for a quick recovery.
  22. UPDATE: Still sucks donkey balls, which is unfortunate because as mentioned upthread, at one time (80's-90), the pot roast, cfs, meatloaf, and my favorite, southwest chicken casserole (similar to King Ranch casserole) were as good as you would find anywhere.
