  1. If Bob was smart he would just switch parties. Then claim he was prosecuted because he switched parties! And the Republicans will make sure that he doesn't go to jail from a weaponized Biden crime family justice department!!! The fact Melendez changed parties after he was indicted, won't make any difference at all. Just like nothing factual does!
  2. You know how when you thought a guy who wasn't asking any questions wasn't serious about his Job? Well that mofo was serious as shit about getting benefits to live lifestyles of the rich and famous, and the law doesn't apply to him! Welcome to The GOP Supreme Club! Corruption is fine, pass the fine wine!
  3. Hmmm.... Looking at at all the numbers, this sort of seem like a case of "you can't teach stupid!" Or more accurately, "you can't coach aggie?" But you sure as shit can fleece the fuck out of Aggie! 😉
  4. The funniest thing about the best win of that season, against Alabama, would have been impossible. Except for the complete and total lack of respect the Alabama football team had toward A&M. Without that complete and total lack of respect, A&M doesn't beat Bama.
  5. Aggies just do Aggie shit. Which is code for ... fucking stupid shit. Just focusing on recent history of stupidity... This week they were proudly identified among the most conservative college campuses in the nation. But fiscally they are really, really really dumb. They just botched a hire where they gave a settlement to the head of the UT department of Journalism... Because they were so conservative, they allowed the evil of diversity to not want a former A&M graduate who made an incredible name for herself. Cost $1 million. They also love to make long term guaranteed football head coach contracts. Where they paid Kevin Sumlin 10 million not to coach, after amassing a .667 winning percentage. And presently are looking at a $70 Million buyout of Jimbo Fisher. Since Jimbo signed his 10 year no cut contract prior to the 2021 season the Aggies have had a #1 recruiting class and a 15-12 record with their a $9 million a year coach! Here is the buyout by year for Fisher- Jimbo Fisher's Buyout: Amount & Breakdown 2022: $85,950,000. 2023: $76,800,000. 2024: $67,550,000. 2026: $48,750,000. 2027: $39,200,000. 2028: $29,550,000. 2029: $19,800,000. 2030: $9,950,000. I too believe that A&M is a very socially conservative campus. But the amount of money they spend where they receive nothing at all in return, is staggering. And that is FUCKING STUPID!
  6. Finally got my shoes in and they look pretty good. Combination of leather and nylon mesh. Color could be slightly darker, but as good as half the gear out there. Pretty please for $110. Still wish I would have just gone ahead and put "HOR" "NEY" on the heels... but stitching is clean so unless they fall apart I will be happy.
  7. Now that's a fucking show!
  8. I guess the fun question is... Is the Big 12 so bad that A&M could come in 3rd?

  10. I guess my dream of the first team ever doing good enough to get the second string QB some meaningful snaps simply is never meant to be. I totally understand a bit of a letdown after a big win like Alabama. But damn, what does it take for these guys to get a killer instinct? I mean fuck, Wyoming beat Tech last week, and they can't execute worth a fuck on offense for 3 quarters? I loved getting Byron Murphy a TD. By why the fuck are we NEEDING to use a trick play to score? We better get our shit together, because OU has spoiler revenge on their minds. Just overall disappointed in the performance, after players only meetings and "great practices." Nice to see we could finally get our shit together for the 4th quarter. But that's 7 shit quarters and 5 great quarters, if anyone is counting. And championship teams don't usually have that sort of ratio. Hopefully this game scared the shit out of them and they take it to heart. Or OU, Tech or somebody else is gonna make us pay for a general lack on intensity.
  11. These where two things cooked recently- Whipped Feta with lemon zest and pistachio, with roasted vegetables and warm pita bread. Iw as our Appetizer before the Alabama game. Second is something I sort of did by accident. I bought some nice looking barramundi skin on filets at Costco, think maybe I will cook them on the grill and the skin wouold help hold them together, Then searched Barramundi with skin on, and crispy skin fish popped up. SO I thought WTF I'll try it, something new! Well damned if it didn't turn out great! Basically it's like blackening, dry the fish out, smoking pan, and give the fish a little press down to make sure all the skin is in contact with the pan. Blistered the asparagus in a hot pan with a little butter,, and made lemon butter tarragon sauce with some capers using the fish pan drippings. I put the sauce on the side to keep the skin crispy. It was fucking delicious. And Barramundi is sustainable and affordable.
  12. the plan is to be there if all the stars align..
  13. Now that that's what we call leg wrassling weather!
  14. The sham trial is over. If only there was a tiny, tiny bit of principles and ethics left in the Republican Party in Texas... If only....
  15. Yep! Can't wait! The only thing I don't like about the new Jetty is that I used to be able to just back up to the bulkhead and drop a bucket to get fresh water, and just hang by the truck waiting for come mullet to roll through. Made it easy peasy to get bait. Still a good spot, but it was Sooooo easy before. Nothing better than burnt orange dawn fishing, that converts seamlessly into drinking pre-game for OU. Can't wait! Did I already say that?
  16. You might look at some of the gel packs that a lot of distance athletes use to put in digestible calories while they are competing. There are multiple brands and flavors, you can likely get an assortment to try at your local bike shop. But designed to be tolerable on the stomach from what I can tell. They have with and without caffine, but like 100 calories an ounce. my favorite by far Hang in there and keep searching for what will work calorie wise!

  18. FIFY You will be busier than a one eyed man in a nudist colony!
  19. I think the thing that the union guys themselves see is, they agreed to work for less to make sure the company could survive (keeping their jobs allowed them to survive as well). But the reasoning from management was, exactly that we can't operate without you putting some skin in the game. If you took a 20% below market rate to save the company for 3 years, then does a 30+ percent raise seem outlandish? Or should they receive a lump sum for the amounts they saved the automaker with, via back dated stock options? Sort of like the board gives themselves "for their salary sacrifices?" In all honestly that might be the fairest way to reward the workers, for the prior salary sacrifices. IN other words, it's unfair to look at worker demands only going forward, without considering prior sacrifices. Still 200-1 or 300-1 CEO compensation multiples is really Un-American from a fairness perspective. From any publicly traded corp.
  20. For some reason if you are on your computer you look out and there are no reservations in sight. i believe this is an Open Table software issue related to likely pushing folks into the phone app? Or Google deviousness? Anyhow my daughter actually found it. But bottom line is you can find open reservations on the phone app when you see nothing on your computer screen. You still needed to look a month out to get a good time slot if you were particular. Apparently you can also waitlist somehow. I must say it was fucking awesome in the old days when the place first opened to wait at the door, grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some of the finest happy hour discounted food around. Hell half the entertainment was about 2/3 through munching down, the positioning and posturing of the patrons desperate to get your seats at the bar! Ahh, the good old days.
  21. I come down somewhere in between on the demands and the offers. I am hoping that this can be resolved relatively quickly or it's going to not take long to do damage to suppliers to the Big 3. But the one thing that always sticks in my craw, with virtually every single publicly traded company. The compensation for the CEO's is far, far beyond their value. A good friend of mine's Dad was at one point one of the top 50 salary Corporate officers in Houston in the lates 70's and 80's. He laughs that he would be making well over $100 million a year now for the exact same job. He has stated that the pay is simply much greater than the replacement value. In essence the compensation is grossly inflated when you compare the value in actual product production from eliminating line workers of equivalent salary value. I also think that 32 hours of work for 40 hour pay, isn't a great look. But that the 20% salary increase that would establish is not completely ridiculous when you look at the accommodations labor took to help the companies in covid and beyond. When you look at who sacrificed and who has benefitted, from a math/productivity perspective the workers have gotten basically sort of screwed. When compared to the CEO's compensation? You make the call there. In the end these things always need to come down to a compromise. Just opening a discussion.
