  1. I wouldn't expect anything that late, but that is just a guess. I say FAFO and report back.
  2. Luck Reunion yesterday. Bounced around and saw several acts. Wanted to see Steve Earle and Charlie Crockett, but the chapel holds less than 100 people and I didn't want to wait in line for hours. Chaparelle was entertaining covering Kris Kristoffeson songs. Several people came out to sing with them - Margo Price, Lukas Nelson, Charlie Sexton, and Grace Bowers. Never heard of Grace Bowers, but she can really play the guitar. Ended up watching a good part of her set. Shane Smith and the Saints always puts on a good show. The wife really wanted to see Arcade Fire. They were playing in the saloon which holds about 200 people. There was a huge line outside during the earlier act, so we just camped out on the porch to see if we could hear from out there. When the previous act ended, everyone was supposed to leave the saloon - they refused. Security came and some people left, but the majority just sat down. Eventually, they started let some people in. It was kaos and during the confusion, the wife just climbed through an open window. While she was watching Arcade Fire, I watched Lucinda Williams. Arcade Fire went long due to the mess, so I caught Willie singing Whiskey River and Stay All Night. Back to the saloon. The Preservation Hall Band played the last couple of songs with Arcade Fire and then marched outside playing Iko Iko. Long day, but we had a great time. Until next year . . .
  3. I enjoyed Panther City BBQ as well. Its been a few years, so I'll defer to @GreenspointTexas if there has been a decline.
  4. Now we all have "searched for helicorprion"
  5. What time did you go? A brick and mortar barbecue joint with two customers doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
  6. Vandy looked as if the entire team stopped to tie their shoes on that last rewind.
  7. Luckily, they dribble off their own feet quite a bit.
  8. Ball was going up and below the rim.
  9. I guess there is a slightly less than zero chance that it is a venomous snake from Australia.
  10. Can't see the markings in the photo. Either a Dekay's Brown or a Rough Earth Brown. If there are noticeable markings, including a slightly darker top of the head, it's a DeKay's.
  11. If octopuses eat other octopuses, it seems silly that I shouldn't.
  12. Love the call back to Inigo Montoya.
  13. His name was Chuck.

    She was disowned. The money she has was given to her by her friend.
  15. Double or nothing
  16. Thinking about eating a plate of barbecue with that shirt Rogen is wearing gives me anxiety.
  17. I didn't get the understanding the @Captain Ron was going to be putting any maple syrup in the 55 gallon drum. I thought it was being used for fire.
  18. Link worked fine for me.
  19. Waymo is a better name for the obesity drug. Ad: Have you been eating Waymo than you're supposed to?
  20. I have it jotted down at home, but here are the basics: 3 parts water to 1 part ketchup; roughly chopped onion; some beef bullion; kosher salt and 16 mesh black pepper to taste. Bring to boil, boil to reduce to about half. Check salt and pepper seasonings, I tend to lean heavily on black pepper. Simmer for a while longer.
  21. LM beef rib is definitely the best thing on the menu and used to be relatively uncommon at other places. Beef ribs are on menus all over the place now, so not such a special item. I don't go out of my way to eat at LM, but if I'm in Taylor around lunch time I usually try to stop. LM and Smitty's are my two favorite old school barbecue locations for the history and vibe, unfortunately not for the barbecue. On a side note, I cook up a batch of LM/John Mueller barbecue dipping sauce when I make beef ribs at home.
  22. Question to those who's kids are in college or beyond - how do you deal with the taxes? The 1099-Q for 529 distributions and the 1098-T for tuition are both in my daughter's name. We claim her as a dependent on our taxes, but it only amounts to a $500 credit. As a dependent, I believe we're allowed to run both the 1099-Q and 1098-T through our tax return. I'm not sure what the tax consequences are either way. When I ran both through her tax return, she loses about $200 in refund (just the 1099-Q on hers is another $225 drop, leaving her paying $99). I'm going to toy around with adding the 1099-Q and 1098-T to ours to see what difference it makes. Just wondering what others are doing.
  23. That birthday at the restaurant sketch my be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Luckily it was only 12 minutes long.
