    i may have grown up poor, but not Schaefer poor, bruh. Plus plenty of my dumbass friends were willing to wahoo beer, and you might as well go for the good stuff in that case  

    Totally agree but you had to take what you could get at 16/17 years old.  I would hate to taste one of those damn things today.  

  2. Anyone from Houston remember Gunny's Shack on the corner Louetta and Holzwarth?  Growing up in the area we thought it was a death wish to venture in there but actually started going in over the Summer's during college ('90-'92ish).  $.75 MIller Lite's and a badass jukebox full of Country Gold, a couple of domino tables and pool table.  Wasn't really rough at all but then again we never really stayed there late, just late afternoons and early evenings.  

  3. Major surprise on Saturday when this guy surfaced.  Was targeting flounder by bumping a GULP shrimp off the bottom.  Shocked to say the least.  I know they are fairly common in Matagorda and further south but this one came from West Bay Galveston.  Fillets just like snapper or grouper.  Delicious!

    The Little Girl Lyrics

    Artist: John Michael Montgomery (Buy John Michael Montgomery CDs) 

    Her parents never took the young girl to church.Never spoke of his name never read her his word.
    Two non believers walking lost in this world
    took their baby with them what a sad little girl.....
    Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs.
    never wanted to play or give kisses & hugs.
    She'd watched the tv and sit there on the couch
    while her mom feel asleep and her daddy went out
    And the drinking and the fighting
    just got worse every nite.
    Behind their couch she'd be hiding
    oh what a sad little life..

    And like it always does the bad just got worse.
    with every slap and every curse
    Until her daddys in a drunk rage one nite
    Used a gun on her mom and then took his life
    And some ppl from the city took the girl far away
    To a new Mom and a new Dad
    Kisses & Hugs every day!

    Her first day at Sunday school
    The teacher walked in
    and a small little girl stared at a picture of him....
    She said I know that man
    there on that cross I don't know his name
    but i know hes got arms
    cause he was there in my old house
    held me close to his side....
    as i hid there behind our couch the nite my parents died......

    Apparently a black tail rattlesnake was found near Austin yesterday or the day before. First one in like 60 years.

     

    Lulz, just saw the video above. Obviously it wasn’t her first time handling a large black snake. Queue the Full Metal Jacket references.

  7. Heads up for Upper Coast Star Tagged Reds:

     

    Dear CCA Texas Member,

     

    Due to circumstances beyond our control, CCA Texas STAR specially-tagged redfish will not be released later this week into Galveston Bay area waters deemed contaminated by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) because of the Houston Ship Channel barge collision. A link to the consumption advisory is provided below. The DSHS recommendation includes portions of Galveston and Trinity bays north of a line from the end of the Texas City Dike to Smith Point.

     

    https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news/updates.shtm

     

    We will maintain our commitment to STAR anglers under these circumstances. The remaining waters of the Galveston bay complex will now receive ALL the tagged redfish designated for the entire complex, prior to tournament kickoff. These fish will be concentrated into areas not affected by the accident.

    In order to honor our anglers affected by this event, CCA Texas STAR will conduct an additional tagged redfish release later, once the DSHS consumption advisory has been lifted. This second release will transpire at typical locations with the historical number of redfish as past determined for both Trinity and Galveston Bays. Be on the lookout for a follow up email to confirm that this release has taken place.

    The STAR Tournament Committee understands that this situation is not ideal, but we consider this to be the best course of action given the circumstances. We thank you for your understanding and patience in this matter. We appreciate our loyal STAR anglers and their unwavering dedication to this remarkable tournament.

    Thank you for your support of CCA Texas and the STAR Tournament!

    Bill Kinney – Tournament Director

    As promised, a follow up to "mobile cup cover for music festivals."

    So this weekend my wife is on the phone with her business partner, while the rest of the family is putzing around the house.  I'm not really paying attention until I hear " ... like a prophylactic."   So my ears perk up a bit and I hear "mumble, mumble ... Shark Tank ..."   Now she has my full attention and I zero in on the conversation like the Bionic Woman and - I shit you not - she says "Do we know anyone with contacts to Mark Cuban?"

    Phone conversation ends and ours begins:

    Me:   What was that about?

    Wife:  The idea you think will never happen. 

    Me:  That's not fair, I think it's a great idea (trying to suppress uncontrollable laughter).

    Wife:  Well good, because Shelly (her business partner) is already in contact with an industrial designer in San Francisco.  She's going to look over my sketch and come up with some ideas, maybe even do a 3D printing.

    Me:  Sketch?

    Wife:   Yeah, I drew something up, want to see it?  (Opens notebook)

    250px-Crichton_Leprechaun_Amateur_Sketch

    Me:  Wow, interesting.  So who's going to buy this thing again?

    Wife:  To start, concerned parents.  You may not remember this because you weren't really listening the first time we discussed this, but it's to prevent some asshole from putting roofies into the drinks of unsuspecting girls' drinks at these music festivals.  Here look (shows me Youtube video of some asshole putting something into the drink of an unsuspecting girl at a music festival).

    Me:  But won't the kids just toss them when their parents give it to them?  If it comes from the parents they won't use it.

    Wife:  Well then we'll sell them to the music festivals.  And bars too.  Ever heard of liability?

    *Previously I wrote a fictitious rant from wife about putting logos on these things, and their environmental friendliness.  Well, I fucking know my wife like the back of my hand and right here she launches into EXACTLY THAT, except the logos are now "branding opportunities" and the cover won''t be plastic, like those dumb lids.*

    Wife:  Think of it like a stack of band aids.  You just peel it off and put it over the cup.  Then just toss it when you're done.

    Me:  Nodding my head, give her a thumbs up.

    Wife:  Fuck you.  You just watch, this is going to be big.

     

    Skip to yesterday, the Amazon lids show up.  I considered going the "prototype" route.  I have a garage workshop that might as well be Area 51 to my wife, but she's too smart to fall for the whole "look what I made for you" deal.  So I just left it on the kitchen counter and held my breath.

    47689734972_879eac984e_z.jpg

     

    She walked in, took a look at it, kind of stunned.  After a few seconds she looked back to me and said "That isn't disposable."   I said nothing.  You could see all sorts of thoughts were running through her brain and she said "Wait, did you get that for me?"

    Me:  Yep , found it on Amazon.

    Wife: Oh honey, thank you! (gives me a kiss)

    Me: (shocked, not expecting this response). Of course!

    Wife:  See?  It's a real product that works! (she takes a picture and sends it to her business partner).  But ours will be different.  Cheaper. More effective.  I'm telling you it's going to be big.

     

    So with that, I leave you until my wife appears on Shark Tank.  Thank you NW Buck for the link.
