    As someone else stated, there are many.  I could do a whole page just on Rush and Van Halen.  

    There is something special about this one.  Plus, it’s fun to play. 
     

     

    Agreed.  I love tons of songs but this is my favorite intro by far.

  2. For not great but decent seafood and stuff, Dorados is on the Intercoastal and is an entertaining getaway.  Restaurant upstairs and dive bar on the water downstairs.

    Spent a week Permit fishing in Mexico at the beginning of August. Permit fishing was tough, but I caught 7 Tarpon between 35 and 100 pounds. The big one whipped my ass. Fought for an hour and forty five minutes on a 10 wt. Dumped most of my backing twice, leadered the fish 4 times, but never got a hand on it. Finally broke it off after it abraided the 80 lb shock tippet as I was trying to turn its head near the boat for the 5th time. Broke it off almost a mile from where I hooked it in about 40 ft of water. I did manage one small Permit.

    Here it is August 18th and we’ve avoided a major storm in the Gulf with nothing in the modeling to suggest anything developing this week.

    If we could get through the next two weeks without a named storm, that would have to be a record of some sorts.  

    As if on cue.........

  5. From the Eyewall:

    Invest 98L is going to track almost straight northwest over the next 24 to 30 hours. This should come ashore in Texas by Friday evening. Any development will be lower-end and rather disjointed. In other words, we could see a sloppy tropical depression come out of this, but we probably won't see a named storm.

    Jimmy John’s is where I go when I want a bread sandwich. Way too much bread and not enough meat.

    Jersey Mikes is way better.

    Jersey Mikes is better.  Howevah….I love a JJ’s because it reminds me of my own homemade sammich in high school of one $.99 loaf of Gerland’s (grocery store) fresh french bread and add ham and cheese.  That fresh french bread was so damn awesome and JJ is the closest thing to that.  One time I saw them actually gouging out the center of the bread before making the sandwich and I said “hold up, put that bread back in there”.

  7. I have since seen the Galveston group now a couple of different times from the boat but just not close enough to get a good pic with my crappy iphone.

    Aladdin’s castle taught you real life lessons like if you take the tickets given to you, and slowly and gently tug on the sides, your returns will compound.

    Me and a buddy would sneak into the "employee room" when the teenager employees were busy playing grab ass with each other at the Games People Play on 1960 in Houston .  They kept all the loose tokens in a 55 gallon trash can.  It must have been like walking into Fort Knox for an adult.  We would load up as much as we could hold.  At first we would just hang out at the change machine and sell other kids 5 tokens for a dollar.  Realized that was just too small time.  Next step was taking as many tokens home as we could and rolled them up in the old school quarter coin wraps and took them to the customer service booth at Gerlands and walked out with cold hard cash.  Not long after, Gerlands somehow went to the clear plastic coin wraps for some odd reason.  I like to think I am the one person in the world who caused the banking industry to make that change.

  9. I love their briquets for simple grilling.  Cheaper and burns way better than all the rest.  Been harder and harder to find though.  I usually only find it in Academy of all places.

    Does it bother anyone else that the cartoonist had to put the other eye on the whale hanging in midair/midwater like we wouldn't be able to understand that the other eye wouldn't be visible from that angle?  I don't remember, did Larson do that with his animals?

    Just a terrible playoff. Playing an unreachable par 5 over and over is hardly compelling. Neither are the participants. Get this over with and bring on Oakmont

    “Unreachable” my ass!  Damn Cam Young air mails the green with a 3 wood 278 yards out and can’t get up and down for the playoff.  
     

    But I’m not bitter or anything!
