  1. This will be a good measure of how well this series adaption stays to the important elements of Rice's story. Rice's story with an 80 year old in a 5 year old's body is impossible to pull off on camera. I believe this show makes Claudia a young teenager - which is fine as long as her arch follows the storyline.
  2. No pictures, but Stiles Switch was on point yesterday evening for dinner. Moist brisket and pork ribs were both cooked and seasoned well. The monthly sausage, bratwurst, was great (as is most of their sausages). I wouldn't have returned so soon after a mediocre lunch last week, but some friends picked it for birthday celebration.
  3. Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me
  4. I mentioned this in another thread, but this is the most appropriate place. Ran into Bijan and a couple other players last night following the Longhorn soccer game. I told them to kick some ass on Saturday. My wife started talking to Bijan and asked "what time is it?" Bijan responded with "OU Sucks! . . . Always!"
  5. Texas looked really good last night and K-State looked horrible. Texas possessed the ball well and had some quality shot attempts in the first half even with K-State playing max defense. After Texas scored the first goal, K-State had to try some offense and then Texas scored at will. Also ran into Bijan after the game. The wife asked him what time it was and he responded "OU Sux?" Good night all around.

  7. I was there for Ricky's record-breaking run against a&m and the comeback against OSU. Not sure which was loudest, but Ricky's run was one of the greatest moments in Texas football history.
  8. We had two black velvet pictures of matadors hung on our wood paneled walls.
  9. Teenagers, especially boys, will find ways to fuck shit up with self-driving cars.
  10. Agreed. The "Celebrity" edition is not good. Although, it gives Mayim Bialik something to do that is not hosting the primary show.
  11. Damn, my upper range is off the charts.
  12. Casa Bonita was the best Mexican food in the world - at least 7 year old thought so.
  13. I hadn't paid much attention to the dagger in earlier episodes, but last night I realized it was the dagger from GOT.
  14. The Gilcrease Museum. Haven't been in decades, but it was a good museum for Western art - Remington, etc. Coney I-lander is a must for me. Goes back to visiting grandparents as a kid, but those little chili dogs are pretty good.
  15. I don't temp beef ribs. Put them on at 275-285, don't look at them for 5 hours, spritz periodically, pull, wrap, and rest when they probe done (6-8 hours depending on the size of the rack).

    Austin FC

    At this point, I'm most concerned with Driussi. He has 21 goals and 7 assists this year. In the last 6 games he has 2 goals and zero assists. He has really fallen off since the LAFC match. Not only with scoring, but he is turning the ball over with poor passing on a much higher basis. 4 out of Austin's 10 losses happened during this stretch. If Driussi is clicking, Austin FC will do well in the playoffs. If not, I fear a quick exit.
  17. I should have ordered the beef rib. Watching a video about Goldee's cooking beef ribs Saturday morning what started the barbecue for lunch though. Beef ribs are so easy to make at home, I hate to spend $29 per pound at a barbecue joint. I'm going to make a rack next weekend.
  18. Other than this recent visit, I've always been pleased with my meal. It's usually not a bad stop - good barbecue, short/no wait, close to other errands. I usually go on Saturday at lunch and most incredible barbecue places have too long to wait for a casual lunch. I'd much prefer Interstellar, but I don't have time to wait an hour or an hour and a half on most Saturdays. I contemplated Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue in Pflugerville, but it would have added an hour to the lunch with travel and waiting. If I want incredible barbecue on Saturday, I'll plan a two or three hour window for travel and waiting.
  19. Nice looking tray from Stiles Switch today - moist brisket, pork ribs, turkey, jalapeño cheddar sausage, slaw, and corn casserole. Unfortunately, looks can be deceiving. Brisket was okay, but bark was lacking. Pork ribs tasted great, but overcooked. Best thing on the tray was the sausage. There's a reason they failed to make the TM Top 50 this time around. Most of the time, it's a pretty good meal. This trip was disappointing.
  20. I'm convinced that people think they look different when they're fighting than they actually look. Large man bun with the Texas shirt with his squatty bobbing and weaving - I bet he envisions Ali or Apollo Creed.
  21. I think the first is a turbo, but I don't get the analogy. I've been out of the dating game since 1989, though.
  22. I learned a bunch during the previous episode on the Hooligans. I knew of the major events which ended in bloodshed and death, but not as much about the everyday Hooligan fans. I'm thinking of starting a Hooligan group for Austin FC.
