  1. A full tray of enchiladas is Shank now? Think a couple of you are looking for this one. 
    That was leftovers for breakfast. Hopefully that meets your strict criteria Mr hall monitor.
  2. 30 years ago, it was my first day on the job. It was a small company.  I showed up early and the receptionist let me in.  They had a coffee machine exactly like this, as had my previous employer.  At my previous employer, there wasn't a direct water line, so you filled the reservoir with a coffee pot full of water and then brewed.
    Seeking to make a good impression, I made coffee exactly as I thought it should be done.  I filled the reservoir with a pot full of water, put the filter and coffee in, pressed brew, and went on about my business.
    Because there WAS a direct water line into the machine at this new employer, the machine proceeded to pump the regular amount of water, plus the extra pot that I put in the reservoir, through the filter.  There was coffee all over the kitchen.
    Way to make a first impression!
    Is this from Reader's Digest?

  3. its almost like the idea that we have AT LEAST 4 fucking games next year against a top 25 pre-season team, might, you know, have something to do with our being ranked #4.
    and maybe Bama wont be as dangerous without Saban, and maybe ou sucks donkey balls against us, but we would still have games against Georgia and aggy.    
     
    we could run the table. but 1 loss against GA, or Bama and we wont be ranked any higher than 4 going into the playoff anyway. 
    The good news is losing 2 isnt the death sentence it used to be before.  If our 2 losses were GA and Bama and we won all the others, we have a pretty strong case to still make the playoff as long as those losses werent TCU or Fl St beatdown levels bad. 
    Bama is not on our schedule.

  4. Eight field officials, three on chains, three in the boxes... not enough reffing yet. Let's add helmet radios and at least one or two more officials to monitor communications usage and timing. While we're at it, let's put millimeter-GPS transducers in all the footballs and connect them to the cameras in every pylon.  
    Wait, though... should the helmet equipment be receive-only or shall we let coaches and QBs interact? While we're at it, shouldn't WRs and TEs be able to listen in? Can we at least put IR beacons on their helmets and put an eyepiece in the QB helmets so they can see who's where?

  5. Sigh. Shit, one of our hot water lines is frozen. When we did a kitchen remodel this year, it ran a line from the hot water downstairs up to the kitchen upstairs. Along the NW corner of the house. Didn’t think to drip that one.

    Am gonna go downstairs and run the hot water for some taps down there, see what happens. If I have to shut it off, then that’s what I’ll do. Thankfully, it runs over open patio, so even if it bursts, damage should be minimal.

    And now we know about that.
    Is it PEX?
  6. Yeah, that was it. Pretty sure this is also accurate that he's moved to NM. I actually met Champ at our charity BBQ cookoff in Dallas last year. Since he is a "pro" he wasn't competing. He was cooking with [mention=1044]luke duke[/mention] and serving samples to our attendees. Good guy.
    I heard @luke duke cooks his beef ribs medium rare.



  7. in the process, I figured out how to make my own Hut's hickory sauce, which I think is just ketchup with some liquid smoke and worcestershire.  but I mess with that, too, as my memory changes.


    Where's my Theta you sonofabitch?
