  1. Rafi did get tiresome by the end (as most outlandish characters on TV shows do). But he has some of the funniest moments in the series. GATTACA!
  2. Go onto a McMurtry kick back in ‘21 after his passing. Lonesome Dove, last picture show, and leaving Cheyenne have always been some of my favorites. Rereading never gets old. I was given a copy of - then stashed and forgot about - All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers. What do you think if you’ve read it? Plan start it tomorrow to read over the next few days.
  3. Ketchup ones weren't any good either. Prefer the ones we've had in Canada the few times we've been there. Also - anyone buy Zapps recently? I feel like they went from a kettle cooked chip to something more like Lays. Do not like.
  4. Was back in TX for spring break this year. Jay's was awesome.
  5. Another tally in the column of "laughed out loud at work and now people are staring."
  6. I believe they call it flirting.
  7. Under the weather a bit. Not my best effort but better than anything else Indiana has to offer. No sides, because I know how surly goes. I was just happy to make this and drag my ass, and full stomach, back to the couch for some NyQuil and lights out.
  8. Snorted LOUDLY in a meeting when I read this post. I knew that A&M was coming on the list of "6 Texases" but it happened anyway. Those fucking goobers aren't even as smart as a bowl of soup.
  9. Which makes me think of ol' PreacherBoy, also from the Shag era. Was that guy in Michigan/affiliated with MSU in some way? That was one of the really early squirrel threads back in the day, tracking that dude down. I don't really even remember the details of his misguided foray into the Shag.
  10. IIRC, 2018. Teacher was forced to resign.
  11. No Hulu thread on the first page so whatever, dumping this here. Mel Brooks' History of the World part 2 is coming out in March on Hulu (it doesn't look like there will be hitler on ice like the first movie had in its fake teaser for pt 2). Straight nostalgia and I'm ok with that. I don't think it will be even close to as good as the first, but am hoping since Brooks is involved that it will be somewhat decent.
  12. Randolph Duke's spidey senses tingling. He ever gonna be back?
  13. Has anyone watched all the deleted scenes? Haven't been able to yet. Sat down on Friday after feeding all the in-laws and family breakfast on Friday, sent them on their way, took my kids out to a couple of stores for BF. Sat down, exhausted at 8pm... and ended up in the hospital with 4yo little BGS. He's ok, but I just haven't had any time to sit down and enjoy. Hoping there's some good stuff in there. I've always wondered if there's a deleted pizza scene because of the line Steve Martin says when he finds his wallet empty "maybe, just maybe when you went in there for pizza last night you (cuts off)"
  14. I haven't finished it yet. Have given it 3 tries, each time picking up where I left off... still haven't found the motivation to finish it. I knew it would be bad, but it's globs of chunks in frothy vomit bad.
  15. Re: Zero Drop If we are talking distance running semi-competitive or casually (5k+, and not sprinting…) disagree for so many reasons but as a track coach of 15 years… injuries. Period. So many calf strains among other injuries that would pop up. That being said there are probably stories of runners switching to Nike or hoka from a zero drop and then getting injured. It’s just, in my experience, the exception not the rule. Nike and other top researchers would be developing minimalist shoes rather than moving to more cushion if it were the truly best option. All that said shoes are very personal. Find the one that’s best for you. We invest in vaporfly spikes and running shoes for runners when we can afford them or find deals because it seems to be what our runners like best and doesn’t seem to be a root cause of injuries. I’ll take the discussion to a runners thread or DMs if you want to talk more so I don’t shit on this thread.
  16. Nike Pegasus. The 39 I think is out now. I bought a couple pairs of the 38s from last year for considerably less. Higher performing Nike shoes make differences for elite runners, but for your average jogger or even what I recommend for our JV runners, the Pegasus are just fine. Black Friday sale for extra 20% off all prices. https://www.nike.com/w/mens-running-shoes-37v7jznik1zy7ok
  17. No. That was yesterday. Didn't bother to read all the responses to see what had already been posted and didn't have time to post anything yesterday.
  18. Colts fans are very excited. Excited to move on from another deadass old QB, and excited to see what Sam can do based on his preseason this year (yeah, I know it ain't worth much, but neither is a Colt's ticket at this point). Buddy of mine is the radio play-by-play guy and he texted me yesterday after lunch and was super excited. Irsay has been pushing for Sam for a few weeks including bumping him to QB2 a couple weeks ago - a sign of things to come. One savage detail I heard on the radio here was that Ryan isn't just benched for this week but for the rest of the season, so even if he comes back he'll be QB3 behind Foles. I may be a domer but every now and then I have to represent my home state and wear my longhorn polo. Church on Sunday (downtown near the stadium) will be one of those days. He's got a 4:30 kickoff and the eyes of the NFL (and Texas) will be upon him. Hook em Sam!
  19. "CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Jason Arnie Owens helped carry his father’s casket to the hearse, then turned to embrace a relative. He never made it to the cemetery." Oh, I think he made it there.
