  1. The Wild Bunch. Whatever happened to those guys? I pretty much lost touch with Longhorn sports for a while after I graduated, due to moving away from Austin after graduation, and then my job sending me overseas for a good part of the 90s and early aughts, but when I was on campus the Wild Bunch was a huge part of my enjoyment of attending games at DFF. I wasn't one of them, but I did sit among them, and they always made me feel welcome. I'd like to hear about what happened to them, and to what extent the current Occupy Left Field crew is an offshoot of the Wild Bunch. Honestly, I think the Wild Bunch could probably be thought of as the proto-Surly; fans who were absolutely passionate about their 'Horns, fanatically dedicated to supporting their team, giving absolutely zero fucks about who they pissed off while doing so, all while having a great time. Games at DFF during the early 80s were like a continuous party, at least of you were sitting behind first base, with a rotating cast of characters, all of whom could make you laugh your ass off. I miss those days.
  2. I've been enjoying the podcasts so far. Thanks for doing this. I imagine it's getting harder to come up with content now that there is no football for the next six months or so, so I'm wondering if you guys might be able to do some stuff on the baseball team. New season is right around the corner, so now might be a good time to start talking about it. I realize that baseball isn't one of the big revenue sports, but it is a huge part of the Longhorn athletic tradition, and I'm pretty sure a lot of Surly bastards out here, myself included, would enjoy some baseball content. Thanks for listening.
  3. Heh...fuck 'em. On the bright side, at least they haven't lost to Texas since 2010.
  4. Hmmm...doughnuts, burgers? My answer to his question number two would be maybe hit the gym.
  5. Your point being?
  6. Who are Collin and Michael, and were they doing their New Year's blind joke routine before 1975?
  7. One of the greatest SNL skits of all time:
  8. Dang...I know there's "still a lot of football yet to play", but if KC doesn't get a TD on this next possession AND stop TB on their next, this game is, for all practical purposes, over.
  9. I'm shocked he wasn't already in. Did he piss somebody off?
  10. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to set me DVR. The think I like about TCM is that they show movies unabridged and unedited. I'm sure there will be disclaimers and warnings before the movie starts.
  11. Fat side up, or fat side down? Paper, aluminum foil, or no wrap at all? Does it really qualify as BBQ if it is done on a WSM? What does Grant think should be done to whomever is responsible for Senator Cornyn's brisket? Favorite tipple while smoking brisket?
  12. Maybe, but those from my generation might argue that the Vietnam war and Watergate made society more cynical. All of which might indicate that there is truly nothing new under the sun, and perhaps there is some small comfort in that.
  13. Abandoned land mines? Is your new job in Cambodia? Or maybe you meant to say abandoned coal mines...or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
  14. Close, but I have a little more hair.
  15. For your listening displeasure:
  16. Perhaps you're right. I remember thinking my dad was ancient way back when I graduated. He was 56. I am older than that now, so yeah, I can see how you'd think I am an oldster. Don't worry, you'll be here one day, sooner than you think; suddenly realizing that you're the same age, or older than, your dad was at certain stages of you're life, and trying to convince yourself that it doesn't mean you're really old at all. You were just wrong when you were young...but you probably weren't wrong. *sigh* But just to clarify my original post, I wasn't commenting on the relative hotness of the women in the ad, just stating that they are annoying AF to listen to. "You got a edge, I got a edge...you got a UHHHH, and I got a UHHHH...." SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!! Jeeez...just thinking of it makes me ragey.
  17. Going to have to disagree with you here. Yeah, they're nice to look at in a still picture, but as soon as I have to listen to them, any "wood" immediately disappears. Also, they're all three red heads, so you know they're batshit crazy, and not in a good way. Maybe it's that I'm getting a bit old-ish, but I just don't have the tolerance for BS that I used to.
  18. Checkers ad; in car with country bumpkin family with dad, wife and two daughters: Wife: "I feel like I got the good kinda energy...like you got a edge...I got a edge." Daughter 1: "You got a UHHH, and I got a UHHH." Daughter 2: "Is that a good "uhhh" or a bad "uhhh?" Dad mumbles something unintelligible, as I am in the beginning stages of:
  19. Not to pick nits, but Bevo is not a cow. Regardless, what a great hire. This is going to be one looooooong off season. September can't get here fast enough.
  20. How about "Male Sack"? If we're going that direction, go big, or go home, as they say. But more on topic, I would love to hear Thujone talk about his MSPaint artwork, his inspiration, creative process, favorite creations, etc. His work is the stuff of Surly legend.
  21. I would have enjoyed it if he responded with, "They're the ones who ran away...fuck those guys."
