  1. Threw down on some gumbo yesterday. Smoked/BBQd some chicken thighs over pecan and used Pollok's pork sausage. Turned out nice. 

    Also, a +1 on shaking some W-sauce into it. Literally, this was the first time I tried doing gumbo without it, and toward the end my taste-test was kinda "ehhhhh ok?"  Shook some W-sauce in and it was $$$$$.

    so any help on attracting the more mature large mouth/small mouth combo please chime in. juvies are dumb and hungry so they are fairly indiscriminate it seems. clouser though is my next step with moderately fast and short strips and then ad lib if sight fishing when the fish is coming at it - act scared, freeze, same strip, etc. etc.

    Not a fly guy but was using a small presentation via small spinning setup on the Nueces and the larger guys were just so much more finicky. Finally had one shoot out of nowhere and bite on a lure I kinda made on the go. I had rigged up a small 3/4"-1" pink shrimp from a sabiki rig. Popped a small split shot weight ahead of it just to get some distance on my cast. that pulled him out of the underbankage.

    "We didn't go from being ahead of the curve in NIL, to being behind it."

    How do they still not understand the difference between NIL and under the table deals? If NIL was the reason for their success last cycle they wouldn't be struggling like they are this cycle. 

     

    It's because everyone kept telling them and anyone else who would listen that A&M was at the forefront of the NIL game. There was a whole damn Houston Chronicle article about it, where the claim is made with absolutely no examples of how they were dominating NIL. It was a propaganda campaign, and of course dumb aggy fan bought it.

    I read Streets of Laredo a while back. It was fine, but paled in comparison to Lonesome Dove. I have Dead Man's Walk in my TBR pile. I hope it's better. 

    Can't wait for Lonesome Dove. Decided to read things in chronological order, so that's up next.

    I ranked it #2 in my favorite of the four. 

    behind Lonesome Dove, I'm assuming?

    What's your ranking?

    Well the Spanish that named it that were a bunch of murdering disease carrying conquistadores and priests, so you should be calling it by whatever the Tonkawas called it.

    Yah but the ones who came over in 1731 may be where our chili originates from, so let's cut them a slight amount of slack. Overall, though, point taken CLOAK ROOM

    Bunch of fucking white people fucking up a Spanish name. Unfortunately par for the course in this country. 

    Fuck anyone who says San Antone

    BREAKING: English speaking country anglicizes words. Ask a Miller/Mueller about their name situations.

    As for San Antone it serves more than one purpose. Obviously it kinda anglicizes it, but more importantly it keeps to the Texas (And probably other places) tradition of making words less syllables than they really need to be. If you can get your point off using less breaths and effort to do so, then by all means. Saying "San Antone" cuts the syllable count down from five to three, and honestly you can probably say two, as most people who use it probably only say "San 'Tone.'

    Anyway. Hope to see you in San 'Tone some day, bud!

    So this doesn't work under your scheme. 

    Is anybody goin' to San Antone
    Or Phoenix, Arizona?
    Any place is all right as long as I
    Can forget I've ever known her

    Any scheme that calls for kicking Charley Pride is no scheme I can sign onto.

    Or:

    give me back the key to my heart"

    Troof.

    CSB so far back in time that my hair was on my head and not my back, I would squire around this chica mexicana and we would start our bar crawls at the local "Mexican" (groundbeef everything) joint to build up an absorbent base. She would dog-cuss me because I didn't order in Spanish.

    I'm like, "Dude talked to me in English so I talked to him in English back." But at last, worn down by La Muy Mandona's disdain, I puzzled through an order in Spanish slightly better than Peggy Hill. Used half the verb tenses, probably improperly, but damn if the language of Cervantes didn't stumble from my lips.

    Her turn: "Veinticinco."

    /CSB

    I'm just now comfortable saying "chile toreado." But most of the time, if my wife's ordering one (with her asada taco), I'll tell her to get two. She be mexicana and doesn't speak spanish to them either unless she has to. 

    Funny story. New young mexican lady started working at this gas station next to work years ago. White fella ahead of me tells her he's getting the beer and counts his change, all in spanish to this lady. He walks off, I step up with my beer and she looks down and says, "uhmm, I like, uh, speak perfect english?"
