  1. This was great! I love Olivia! (Did I hear right in the vid that she's moved to Texas???)
  2. Wasn't it this idiot who said every man needs a "jerk off" guy in the group that will handle your daily "needs" or some shit like that?
  3. Yep. My wife no longer drinks so we rented a car for the CAAMP show two summers ago and drove out there early to tailgate. (I got hammered so she wasn't super pleased with me trying to navigate our way back to downtown Denver after the show. I'd love to stay in Morrison some time though not sure how feasible that is.)
  4. These are not serious people
  5. I wonder if there was a concerted effort to exclude Hurtado and Terry Black's as they become "chains" almost (TB's for sure). Zavala's was a curious miss. A buddy of mine is a BBQ guy and he loves Zavala's. He's ordered it for his last two events at his house and I have to admit I didn't love it. As far as places outside Texas that would make it, Lewis Barbecue in Charleston SC would almost certainly be among the top 50 in Texas IMO. It's terrific.
  6. Never heard of this before stumbling across this thread yesterday. Watched the first two last night. It was OK. Hoping it will pick up steam. The visual style of the cinematography is a bit odd. Can't quite put my finger on what it is but I don't love it. Was fun seeing one of the aunts from Reservoir Dogs as one of the hippies.
  7. I think somebody mentioned it above but I'm surprised that Tejas completely fell out of the top 50. That was a top 10 place not that long ago and from what I can see online, Scott Moore is doing the same things he's always done and is even introducing specials that look pretty good. He hasn't commented on the list coming out online that I've seen.
  8. Headed to CAAMP at The Bomb Factory on Sunday and then my wife bought tickets for us and her friend to see Perfume Genius at The Studio on Wednesday. We enjoyed them very much at Kilby Block Party. Three tickets for about $120 -- that's actually amazing these days.
  9. Lord Huron are fantastic. That will be a wonderful show at RR. There's a deluxe shuttle now? Where does it originate?
  10. More anemic offense — Rangers or Stars?
  11. Robo just can’t consistently score on 5-on-5 situations in the playoffs. I was off on my count day before yesterday. He has scored 16 career playoff goals — seven have come on PP. Eighteen of his 42 career points in playoffs have come with man advantage.

  13. Yes, the West is pretty salty but think about our division. Winnipeg’s window is closing. Their best players are on the wrong side of 30. Colorado still has goalie issues and MacKinnon will be 30 next season. We’ve also beaten them the past two seasons. I don’t know what St Louis has in the pipeline. Edmonton is fantastic and will be as long as McDavid/Draisaitl are in their prime. That’s why maybe it’s a good idea for them to go ahead and win the Cup this year. It’s hard to repeat. Get them satisfied. Vegas is getting old too. I like how the Stars are positioned for the next five years better than anybody else in the West, save maybe Edmonton. Of course things change over the years but that’s how I see it today.
  14. At the end of the day, I think I can safely say Edmonton is a better team than us today. I feel reasonably comfortable saying Florida is a better team. I can’t say that about anybody else in the NHL. They might be but I’m not certain. This team is still coming. Benn’s window has about run out, if it hasn’t already. Seguin is close. Pavelski’s ended last season. Nill has built this team to be good for the foreseeable future. Will it ultimately win a Cup? I don’t know. But we’re going to be among the final four teams nearly every year moving forward. Make a few tweaks here and there and maybe you wind up with a run of Finals appearances, maybe a Cup or two.
  15. Is that an aggy pay-to-play thing or something?
  16. A-fucking-men. And I'd be lying if I didn't say part of my affinity for Snow's is the friendship that I've been blessed to make with Tootsie over the seven or years she's been coming up to Dallas every spring to be a celebrity judge at our BBQ cook-off. She loves the Ashford Rise School of Dallas (which is what all of our events benefit 100%) and she keeps coming back every year -- without fail. The one year she missed was the year Kerry had a stroke and she felt like she had to be at the restaurant on that Saturday. (I almost feel sorry for those that to go Snow's the weekend of our event because I'm sure they're totally bummed that she ain't there. But I digress.) Each time I make it to Snow's, she comes out to say hello and visit with me and my group (whoever it might be) -- if we don't have an arrangement to jump the line and sit in the back room. One Father's Day weekend I was with my parents and son and we decided to make a run over from Lost Pines where we were spending the weekend. I texted Tootsie and she said, "C'mon." We waited for several hours. She came out and asked if there was anything we wanted. I was quick to tell her I was looking forward to getting a pork steak. She said they were getting low and pulled one aside for us. Of course everybody around us in line were whispering and asking who the fuck I was to get such an audience with the grand dame of Texas BBQ. Once we made it through the line, she sat with my family and I for nearly an hour while we ate and visited. Another time, a group of buddies and I drove down in a 1980 tour bus that one of them owns and spent the night next to Snow's. We were the first ones there but were the third group in line because we went next door to the pool hall to drink beers that evening. I was able to greet Tootsie when she came in to work at like 4AM. She told me I should really go get some sleep before they started serving food. I was pretty shit-faced still. LOL. That woman is a Texas treasure.
  17. I'm really disappointed in Wyatt Johnston's play this postseason. I was not expecting a total dud from him. Wonder if he's nursing some kind of ailment. Also, Harley seems to have a taken a huge step back since Miro returned. At any rate, we need to get more dynamic offensively next year. We need guys that can grind out dirty goals in the playoffs. Hell, I'd see if there's a market for Robertson.
  18. I'm kind of speaking out of my ass on this one but pretty sure he posted something pro-Trump leading into election season as well and I decided to pull away from his socials because at that point, I didn't want to know. AFAIK, Quinn was way more invested in that shit than Arch but I'm not shocked given Arch's background and upbringing.
  19. Yep. Find a way to win Game 5 and shift the pressure back on Edmonton to close it out in Game 6. All we can do.
  20. Probably don't want to follow Arch either then.
