  1. Class of '89 here. We've got the bull dykes. Aransas Pass has the junkies.
  2. Season was pretty rough, but the last 2 episodes were a complete turnaround, in my opinion.
  3. I hated it at first, but each episode got better. In the end, it wasn’t bad. Hopefully, they can regain more mojo in the next season.
  4. Sleepy? Well…not after I get there.
  5. Took a while for all the pieces to fall into place, but it looks like I will be a downtown resident soon. Taking possession of a new apt on 5/1 at 1900 Pacific Residences (John Kirtland's place). Cool people, great amenities, truly nice apt that is getting an all-new refurb right now. Things are moving fast. Gotta figure out how/when to move and get my Lufkin house on the market. On to the next chapter! Looking forward to terrorizing the city soon...!
  6. I had Brick & Bones the other night, and it was heavenly. I'll be moving right down the street from it in a few weeks. I guess I should just plan on being fat.
  7. You're absolutely right. Was totally mandatory. I never realized what a fixture I was there until the bartender said, "Where were you last Friday?" That's when I figured my Friday-Night-Regular status had already been established. Whether alone, with a girlfriend, or gathering a group of friends/coworkers, the Hofbrau on Friday was religion to me. On a mushroom-related front: I remember the two best places for fried mushrooms being right next to each other. Completely different style, though, but the ones at Maggie's were pretty damn good, too. Was my place for vetting dates back in the day. Couldn't take just any random skank to Hofbrau, ya know?
  8. The very mention of Mama's Hofbrau pains me. What I wouldn't give to get crocked on a full yard of Fuller's ESB in the old location again.
  9. Damn...I was all-in on this and was closing out my cart until I found out $35 worth of chips was gonna cost $48 in shipping. Nope...
  10. That is quite the update. Thanks for going to the trouble to post all of that.
  11. For those of you that pass through East Texas, we got a new-ish joint cranking out some good stuff here in Lufkin. Boxcar BBQ on the south side of our downtown area. In addition to the traditional meats and plates, they're inventing some crazy sandwiches, experimenting with sides, and cranking out some decadent desserts. They also do pre-orders. Just a friendly PSA from the Piney Woods...
  12. Is this what you seek? Use the Sales Tax Deduction Calculator | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
  13. I fail to see the problem here, other than the personal inconvenience. Book an airport hotel room, notify work (if needed), enjoy a good meal, chill out, and fly the next day. Shit happens when you fly around the world for business. Especially if there's only one flight out per day. Not like the Aussies can pull a plane out of their ass. And it seems like she voluntarily fucked herself over with the new trip home.
  14. Most popular kid in school, got drunk in the High School parking lot, then proceeded to take his jacked-up truck and do donuts in the front lawn of the school, taking out several new trees that had been planted. Jumped out of his truck, pulled a pistol, and blew his brains out in front of everyone. Kinda fucked up the rest of the weekend.
  15. That's a good call. Botulism ain't a good time.
  16. It's practically mandatory attire at the Lufkin Walmart. And don't get me started about all the weddings that take place down by the Wrangler Jeans.
  17. McDonalds from a Cuisinart? When you start slumming, you REALLY start slumming...! No middle ground, huh?
  18. You are right next door to Acenar, which is usually quite friendly. The food isn't bad, plus a nice view of the River. You are also in walking distance of Domingo and the Otro bar. Check out Domingo online and consider a reservation. When/if you're wandering the Riverwalk, pop in at Boudro's. Their food is great, but...at bare minimum...order a round of Prickly Pear Margs and get the table-side prepared Guacamole. Watch the world walk by. Just sayin. If you want SA old-school, however, you're gonna need to get in the car and go to: Blanco Cafe on 1720 Blanco. Taco House on San Pedro. Teka Molino on San Pedro. You should dig all of those.
  19. Buncha lightweights in here. Checking in at 52 here, and we don't do NOLA or Vegas unless we're staying AT LEAST 4 nights. You guys need to bust out the Geritol.
  20. My wife relates stories of her upbringing. How a family of 5 moved into the clergy apt of their local church for a while. Neighbors bringing grocery bags of food, etc. Her not being able to afford the heat bill when she was in medical school, etc. A few years ago, she wandered into the kitchen, then came back and asked, "Where's the tea bag I left on the counter?" "It cooled off, so I pitched it." "Well...I was gonna reuse it." "Jesus Christ, baby...you are a fucking successful doctor. I think that we will be financially solvent if you grab another tea bag." Gotta give her credit...she doesn't really spend...some things just stay with you, I guess.
