  1. A good car wash/detail. It’s never perfect, they always miss some corner, but dammit my car drives better after someone else washes it. I haven’t washed a car in a while and I plan to keep it that way.
  2. I went to a party once that was thrown by some girl whose parents were out of town. I'm sure it was initially intended as a small get=together but by the time I arrived there were hooligans poppin' bottles out of the parents wine stash. Lotsa bottles. I stayed less than one hour but lingered long enough to witness a young man retrieve a stuffed blue crab from the freezer, and then throw it like a ninja throwing star into a wall. The thing was this was a tall wall in an area of the home with 15-20 foot ceilings. The crab disappointed and did not stick but it did leave damage. So, I think you're good. As long as they're over about 12, what could possibly go wrong?
  3. “Uh, hey Mr. Tattoo artist. Can you change this J to a butterfly and then change this IMBO to ELKO? How much would that cost?”
  4. First time I saw that young man run was at the 2001 Big 12 CCG. Not a particularly great outing that night, but I could feel that we had a lot of good times coming. I think we called him "Freak." I also think he got hurt (knee?) early in the Rose Bowl and sat most of that game. Amirite?
  5. Booger calling out the defense is going to piss me off. Don’t we lead the nation in 3rd down stops? Hey Booger - don’t start any shit.
  6. This may be a double whammy for TCU with their conference going to mediocrity and SMU buying their way into the ACC. TCU gots long term problems.
  7. Catchy slogan - "Big 12, we're the best of what's left."
  8. I would pay at least $349 for one of those. Where do i send the money?
  9. I figured as much. Dallas may sound like "Alice," but the similarities end there.
  10. I have experienced the sherbert treatment but I remember it as orange or lime. It was a pinche scoop but nobody cared because we were full of cheese enchiladas. I'm tempted to go into an on the border and fire the waitstaff around to see if I can recreate Texzilla's experience. "I'm going to need a pitcher of salsa, butter, 6 corn tortillas, ice water, sweet tea, some pineapple juice, some red food coloring, jalapenos, onions, carrots, and don't forget the chips. Please bring that out while I peruse the menu."
  11. That table with the advertisements on it reminds me of my childhood. First Mexican food I remember is my grandmother taking me to Monterey house in Corpus and feeding me cheese enchiladas. They would hide pralines in the basket of chips like some sort of kids Easter egg hunt. I don’t remember it being particularly good food but it got me started and I’ll never change.
  12. Now we’re getting somewhere.
  13. I believe the same precept would lead us to the conclusion that, for the right amount of money, Kiffin would come pull weeds in my front yard wearing a pink bunny suit. Don't believe me?
  14. If you're Kiffin, do you have your agent drop a hint - "Lane isn't saying he's interested, but Lane sees this as an opportunity to win national championships and he would need $20mil per year." What's the downside? Maybe it gets back to Ol Miss? What are they going to do - fire him? He's all but locked up a 10-2 record and a potential top 10 finish - they might give him a raise. If they say no, and keep it quiet, no big deal. If they leak it, Lane can say "that's what I'm worth and I wouldn't go there for less than I'm worth." Is there a chance aggy gets turned down a time or two and has to bite? Maybe? Maybe those that say Kiffin wants the job left out 1/2 of the story. Kiffin does want the job, if you pay him $20m. I could see Kiffin doing the weird moves at yell practice for that kinda cheese. [A]ggy can give him 20m per year for 5 years and tell all their friends "Wed didn't get tricked again like last time - this time we only signed a 5 year deal." Win/win.

    9-1

    Nobody at bigxii hq would cry if Texas got screwed by the committee. In fact, they might celebrate. If there was ever a year that the committee could give a conference "the business," it would be this year if Texas won the ccg.
  16. tldr - hire Kiffin.
  17. Irony (from Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía ' dissimulation, feigned ignorance' ), in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what on the surface appears to be the case or to be expected differs radically from what is actually the case.
  18. If I'm leaving UW for CS, it is because I got moneywhipped. If the money is even, daughter coming for softball, and I'm prospering. No move. If however, they came through with some blockbuster deal - guaranteed money for 10 years, no offset, all the gravy a coach could ever ask for, I'm moving wherever. The question then becomes, "would the leadership of a large university ever do something like that?" Would they ever be so desperate to win that they would agree to a lopsided deal like that? I guess we'll see.
  19. Question - which is better? A. Blue chip coach for $9mil a year B. Up and comer coach for $4mil and $5mil to NIL some o-line/d-line players? Based on my unscientific observation, I'm taking B unless A gets me Saban.
  20. Don’t let this contractor make you his bitch. Fight with him over every little thing until it’s perfect. This is your home and you have to live in it. oh, and keep us posted.
  21. For intramural flag football we had three plays. Three simple plays that we could run right or left. No matter how we lined up there were only three fucking plays. No huddle, qb would call the play announcing 3 digits. “623” or “461” or some bs number like that. The first digit told us whether we were going right or left. If it was an odd number we go right, even number run play to the left (or vice versa). Second digit was meaningless. Might as well have said “Omaha.” Third digit was the play. 1, 2 or 3. We lit some bitches up with that simple system. I bet if you had asked those teams how many plays we ran they would have said 30 different plays. If someone is stealing your signals and you can’t wire around it your shit is too complicated or your players too stupid.
  22. The raw honesty and simplicity in this post was missed by most.

    Israel

    I guess that sorta conquers all. You were raised, and now you've raised your children, to believe that your eternal destiny is to endure struggle and, if you do it well, there will be some reward. Joe Palestinian can't really go home after work and tell his family "let's scrap all our beliefs, move to Greece, and see what these Orthodox Christians have in store..." can he? How do you ever get a religious ideologue (I don't mean that as an insult) to compromise on a matter of religion?

    Israel

    Dumb question here goes - is there ever a time when you just admit defeat, take the loss, and move on? Let’s say I’m Joe Palestinian. I’ve got a wife and two kids. I can try to gtfo and go to Egypt, America, who knows. Anywhere but the place where I’m not prospering because … complicated reasons. If I pull the trigger on that decision I’m subjecting my family to stress, uncertainty, and distance from all things known - family, language, culture. But I’m also giving them hope. Alternatively I can dig in and say “my land, not fair, father’s heritage, never say die. My children’s hope then depends on a successful war and eradication of an enemy or, if not that, at least a good enough showing at war that I get some kind of Korea armistice. If i’m Joe, im saving up $5,000 and gtfo. What am I missing?
