  1. Imagine the interview when you’re in the ER later that night (that is if you survive because, ya know, pit bulls kill people). ”what were you trying to do CoTex?” ”well, I was gonna pick the pit bull up by the back legs and then, if that didn’t work, I was gonna stick my finger in its ass.” ”and when the dog stopped biting —- and started biting you, what were your thoughts?” “My first thought was that I shouldn’t have tried to put my finger in an angry dog’s ass. My second thought was, I really shouldn’t have tried to put my finger…” “And why did you do this?” ”I read on the internet that pit bulls don’t bite if you pick them up by the hind legs and finger their bums.” ”do you try everything you see on the internet?” ”uh, err…” ”are you from Florida, or aggy?”
  2. I’ve been proceeding on the assumption that a private school which really wants a student tries to get the number close to the cost of public school. And if it’s a private school that doesn’t really want you, well f u Rice.
  3. Koco Garcia seems like an, ahem, professional.
  4. Humblebrag incoming. Child was invited to visit Austin College for sports. They don't do sports scholarships but, at least, forever she'll be able to truthfully say "I could have played in college." Anyone know anything about Austin College?
  5. UIL Regional tennis fan this morning. Lost but fought hard, drive home and final review for APUSH national exam tomorrow w child. It’s nice to get a day to just devote myself to child. College in 15 months and I’ll miss this.
  6. You're misplaying your hand. Try "For a hundred bucks I'll change the name on my reservation at _______, to @Bevo."
  7. Austin Country Club - Private Country Club in Austin, TX
  8. Having lunch in Norman OK, and there’s a big table next to me full of loud people. they’re trying to introduce someone not from Oklahoma to country music. One guy says “always listen to George Strait or Clint black. They’re the only ones that are good and they’re virtually indistinguishable.” Now I’m having an existential crisis. All my education, hard work and discipline have brought me to this point where I’m in Norman Oklahoma listen to this nonsense. Mistakes were made.
  9. Update from downtown. Windy and rainy. Sounds rowdy to the south. 12 drunks and 3 panicky Karens in the lobby. IMG_7097.mov
  10. Still in OKC and now it kinda looks like we’re gonna get buttonhooked by the ass-end of this storm. weather experts - comment please.
  11. Sitting here in this hotel room, behind enemy lines, waiting for the tornado to come and take me to Shangri-La. Getting a little stir crazy.
  12. Okie weathermen not afraid of a tornado. One trying to drive a car through it and one flying a helicopter around it in a damned lightning storm.
  13. Got too stressful. I had to take a nap. I’m back now.
  14. This is what I’m watching. They got some guy in “Sky 5: near nobscot.”
  15. These okies have got some balls. They got a weatherman broadcasting live from a damned helicopter. I guess he lost the bet or drew the short straw.
  16. Peasant food. Nothing but marmalade for me.
  17. Now we got a verflank downdraft with striations or something.
  18. These weather guys need to pace themselves. No way they can keep up this intensity and the action ain’t even to OKC yet.
  19. What’s the difference in a cell and a supercell?
  20. Weather guy talking about a hailbow. Never heard that one before.
  21. From time to time I travel for work and, as fate would have it, I’m at the Colcord hotel in downtown OKC. Next door is a tall building with a bar on top so, if it starts to get sporty I’ll do some on location reporting.
  22. Isn't a lot of this going to be judge and prosecutor dependent, forum dependent, and fact dependent? Some judge's are easier on bail than others. Some prosecutors take it more seriously than others. Some defendant's present better than others. Doesn't most of it land on two issues? Flight risk and danger to community? And doesn't this guy likely pass the flight risk test? His bail issue would be "is he a danger to the community?" And somehow someway they didn't, or couldn't, demonstrate to the judge's satisfaction that this guy's release could jeopardize the 6 year old's safety? And if they had successfully done so, couldn't a bail condition be no visits with minors? With all that, judge could have said 1. Not a flight risk. 2. Not a danger to community except his own child. Bail set at $1, but no contact with kids? I get to monday morning qb this one but, kinda seems like this would have saved child's life. Shouldn't we monday morning qb things when 6 year olds die?
  23. Its just like, my opinion, man, but at least the "kill the Jews" crowd has cloaked themselves in the cause of the oppressed Palestinian people, whether you buy that or not, up to you, but probably something like 50% of America will give you a pass on that one. Monkey guy, what's he going to say - "I was doing the monkey dance in the face of a black woman in support of Israeli sovereignty?" Lets see how that works out.
  24. Monkey guy is the leader in the clubhouse right now for people that deserve to be unemployable when all this shit blows over.
  25. I guess my takeaway is that, if you get in the crowd, you likely own whatever destination that crowd reaches, even if you didn't intend it. Here's where I think we're headed, we've been here before. Saturday night, we all go out to take one side or the other and or They bleeped out his words but I'm pretty sure Foster in Austin said something to the effect of "the people that actually hate us are too big of pussies to do anything about it [me carrying an AK down Congress avenue]." I guess he was wrong. Rittenhouse both sides had guns. Foster both sides had guns.
