  1. 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.

    Tried the Hot Mustard Dorito’s recently, didn’t much care for them. 

    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.

    What does that even mean?

    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.

    Wasn't his dad a preacher and have a congregation in Stafford or something? 

    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.

  5. 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.

    I would like to see some stats on the number of UT ROTC members that get commissioned each year compared to the number of aggy cosplay members that do.

    Randolph Duke's spidey senses tingling.  He ever gonna be back?

  7. 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)"

     

  8. 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.

  9. Bumping this thread as we approach the season. Looking for good running shoes myself.

    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.
