  1. Youngest daughter requests paella every year for her birthday. This photo was about 10 minutes before it was done and the rice had absorbed all the liquid. Should have got a second shot.
  2. Bryant-Denny erupts every time that play is shown on the Jumbotron. And no one in Bama calls it "The strip." It is universally dubbed "The Play." True story--I had a George Teague autographed football that I acquired when an old Bama fan died and his sister sold off his entire collection for $100. Anyway, when I was shopping for houses a few years ago, I did a tour of the house from which I am currently typing this. On the initial tour of the property, I notice some Bama memorabilia and it is all from the early '90s. So I go home and work up an offer on this house. I offer $10,000 less than the asking price and I inform my agent that I want to write into the offer "a signed George Teague football." My agent is from Lubbock and is like WTF, who is that. I say "Just tell me if we can put it in the offer." He tells me that I can put any thing I damn well please in the offer so in goes the football and out goes the offer. Next day, my agent gets a call that the seller agrees to the deal and that his wife is pissed because they had received better offers that they had not accepted, but that the husband read about the football and laid down the law. Thanks George. And for defending the star as well.
  3. "Where Do You Want It"
  4. Cornbread salad is a crowd pleaser and one that people don't have very often. Double the "dressing" part on just about any recipe you find.
  5. Bass tournaments all cancelled because of COVID. Was supposed to have the championship two weekends ago. Qualified in the #2 spot and am itchin' to get to it. Guess we will hold it sometime this summer. Bag limit goes to 3 fish for summer-time tournaments here so I will need to think through a strategy that differs from the usual best-5 approach. May just throw a gizzard shad swimbait on deep breaks and swing for the fence. I don't think a bag of shakey head fish will do any good. I'll try to post a few pics from practice if I get any.
  6. Second attempt at deep dish pizza making. Getting better but not orgasmic. Ate those mofos up though. Pepperoni, bacon, Italian sausage, ham, purple onion, jalapeños, bell pepper, mushrooms, cheese. Hand crushed tomatoes with some basil from garden.
  7. Much better than I remembered it when it first came out. Maybe now that I have had some distance from Appetite... I can appreciate this effort more now than I did 12 years ago. Dug it up last week and have listened to it through 3 times. Still vibing .

    Bidet Meta Threas

    Stardate April 7, 2020 mid pandemic. Captain’s log. Bidet has changed my life. Surly instigated the awakening. Three weeks in and I am at mid-power of the stream. Initially low pressure was only barely tolerable. Now, half way on the dial. Within 2 more weeks, expect to be at 100 psi.
  9. Those bell peppers are real sleepers. I highly recommend (not as ‘Rona cure although).
  10. Ships that Don’t Come In is a damn fine song and shows Diffie’s impressive vocal range. I always liked it but dang sure can’t sing along.
  11. On the outskirts of Lubbock in one of the old strip liquor stores, there is now a "gaming/bingo/slot machine" joint. Not sure what goes on in there, but I drove past it at 5 a.m. yesterday morning and there wasn't room to fit another car in the parking lot. Had to be at least 50 people in a 2000 sq ft building. Not sure what goes on in there but I doubt it involves social distancing.

    Bidet Meta Threas

    After reading this thread a few months ago, I told my wife I wanted a bidet for my birthday (next week). She thought I was joking but ordered one for a laugh. Last night I told her I was ordering one and she said that there was a bidet hidden in the closet for me to open next week. I went and grabbed that mutha and had it hooked up in 20 minutes. Couldn’t sleep last night for anticipation of my morning dump. Daylight came, I unloaded and then blasted my anus. Wow. My life is forever altered. I’m ashamed I waited this long. The corona virus forced this quantum leap in my quality of life.
  13. There once was a bat from Wuhan Who served as a meal for a man Now the bars are all closed... and the Irish are hosed Flying rat jacked my annual black n’ tan
  14. In da Mobile hood Green shorty prays for sweet death Ghetto crowd shouts hey
  15. Saw KISS last night in Lubbock. David Lee Roth opened. I kinda went on a lark, but as a huge KISS fan, I couldn't miss. I was blown away. KISS puts on a hell of a show & Paul Stanley is a master at working a crowd. I guess because of the makeup and the clothes, they are ageless. Looked just like they did back in the '70s. Obviously, the voices aren't the same, but damn if they weren't still pretty good. David Lee Roth also impressed me. He did 45 minutes and looks very athletic. Jumped all around stage--albeit the jumps were more like small bounces. He also played to the crowd and put in real effort. His voice really does suck, but no one seemed to mind. KISS still has a great stage set with pyrotechnics, risers, lifts, video screens and at one point Stanley road some apparatus out to the middle of the crowd about 200 feet from the main stage and played to those of us in the cheap seats. One thing that was really cool is that the video board behind the band would often times show vintage concert footage of the current band playing along with its former self. All in all, it was the best $35 I have spent in 2020. If the show comes to your town, I highly recommend it. And as far as the corona virus goes, I went to take a leak and someone shouted out in the men's room--"I have the corona." Immediately someone shouted in response "and KISS is the cure." I hope so. After Deuce, Stanley told the crowd "We hear there is a sickness going around. Well, I just happen to have the phone number and will be calling DR. LOVE." Cue Gene... If I die next week, bury me in face paint and my ostrich Luccheses.
  16. Went to the Tech game. Hated the loss, but damn what a great atmosphere. Had a great time and multiple $8 beers.
  17. I have tickets to the KISS tour with David Lee Roth opening next week. No way I am missing that for fear of death.
  18. Got on a decent crankbait bite today. Don’t let anyone tell you that stock hooks are acceptable. In 47 degree water, they only nip at it most of the time.
  19. It seems I lied. I just came to the closet to check. The caimans I have are Tony Lamas. Sorry for the confusion.
  20. I have a pair of Dan Post caimans that are plenty nice.
  21. I wouldn’t wear ‘em but they are in style. Hope he pulls some wool in those. Respect.
  22. I fish about 15 tournaments a year. Mostly smaller local tournaments with a few bigger, state-wide events mixed in. Used to fish BassChamps, Honey Hole, and two other circuits. That was back when my kids were smaller, and I could be gone every weekend. As soon as I get my last one out of high school, I'll go back to hitting it hard and heavy. I have just about given up all hobbies other than those related to bass fishing. I am either building tackle, building rods or at the lake--or mad because I am not doing 1 of the 3. Tournament fishing ties this all together for me, and I would be much less into fishing if it were not for tournaments. That is somewhat of a shame, but it is what it is.
  23. Fished tournament today with water starting out at 45 degrees and warming to 48 by weighin. Pretty slow. Caught my first keeper at 9:45 am in 32 foot of water. Then ran a bit of a pattern using a finesse jig I build. Ended up culling to best 5 of 10.5 pounds. Tried to make a big cull by moving to a deep ledge in 30 foot throwing a big football head jig. Marked fish on the graph. First cast got a good thump. Set the hook, pulled the fish a few feet, then SNAP. Broken line. Still not sure what happened. Might could have used the fish if it was the right one. Got 2nd and won $220. A few ounces was worth another $150.
  24. Hate to hear it. Me and Paul is a great song. Doubt anyone has stared at the backside of Willie more than Mr. English. Rest in peace. Hope the traveling is smooth and rock-free on the journey to the other side.
