  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Close, but I have a little more hair.
  6. For your listening displeasure:
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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:
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I would have enjoyed it if he responded with, "They're the ones who ran away...fuck those guys."
  13. I would have been doing the same thing, had we not almost had an "incident" at the beginning of the game. For about the first 5 minutes of the game, my wife had been walking around the house, doing whatever things wives do that don't include watching television. She then decides to plop down on the sofa, watches a couple minutes, then says, "Is there anything else on? I don't want to watch football." I nearly exploded...words were exchanged. Regardless of the exact words I used, I think the crazed look on my face spoke more about the seriousness of the situation, and she decided it was a good time to go to bed. Although I had won the battle for the TV that night, I didn't want to be a complete dickhead, and I was in a much better mood by the end of the game.
  14. Only distilled water and pure, grain alcohol, so as not to contaminate my precious bodily fluids.
  15. "He's going for the cornerrrrrrrrrr...HE'S GOT IT!!!" I still get choked up every time I hear this. I was jumping around my living room like a lunatic when I was watching this live...silently, as it was about 12:30AM where I live, and my wife was asleep. Unbelievable game, great times.
  16. So...Saban to Texas??? (Yes, I'm joking)
  17. I'm with Greenspoint. We are about to embark on 8 months of no football, so I am going to enjoy this while I can. From the frigid suburbs of Northern Virginia... FIGHT!!!
  18. Check out this troll job: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/adidas-creates-completely-original-look-for-texas-aandms-orange-bowl-uniform/ar-BB1chUuy?ocid=mailsignout
  19. Had a hard time finding this one. Not sure if the link will work, but this is Jimi Hendrix and Band of Gypsies practicing before their New Year's Eve gig at the Fillmore East in December 1969. It's a medely of Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and Auld Ang Syne, with a little Taps thrown in for good measure. It's a little rough, as it is just a practice session that was not intended for release as a recording, but eventually was released a few years after Jimi's death. Still, his mastery of feedback is incredible. I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to my Christmas music, but this is Jimi. https://www.elsewhere.co.nz/fromthevaults/5423/jimi-hendrix-little-drummer-boy-silent-night-auld-lang-syne-1969/
  20. Lots of shitty videos from the night crew. Still waiting for the good news that is supposedly on the wire.
  21. Outrageous, and even more outrageous that not one of the other adults present stepped in to stop it. Cowards all, and they should all be banned from coaching and/or officiating.
  22. You and I were on campus during the same time, and I'm sure we attended many of the same games. I was going to highlight these same games in remembering coach Akers. The 1980 Arkansas game had been moved by ABC-TV to Sept. 1, a Monday night, because they wanted the first televised college game of the new decade to be the Texas-Arkansas game. The atmosphere was awesome, the stadium was rocking, and it was an epic ass-kicking of the piggies, highlighted by Jeff Leiding going full Superman and destroying an Arkie kickoff returner. One thing to mention about the 1979 OU game; this was the game where Billy Sims' bid for a second Heisman died. Texas D, led my Steve "Bam Bam" McMichael was in OU's backfield all day. I was sitting behind an older OU couple who turned to each other about mid-way through the third quarter and said, "I've never seen OU dominated like this". The score did not indicate that domination, but it was a dominant performance. Should also mention the 1981 Miami game. Miami had not yet become "The U", but they were on the rise, and had a QB named Jim Kelly. A great game, I most remember for a pass from Rick McIvor from UT's own end zone, about 65 yards on the fly to Herkie Walls, who juggles the pass, pins the ball against his face mask, before falling down, but he made the catch, and Texas went on the score a TD on the drive, winning the game 14-7. Defense made many, many stops, as they always seemed to do when we needed it most. I never worried when the opposing team would get a first and goal, because I knew there was a better than even chance that they would not score, or would be held to a FG. Our defense during this era was just dominating, year after year. Should also point out that the 1981 team finished 10-1-1. Had to come from 14-0 down to pull out a 14-14 tie against Houston. I often wonder what would have happened if we won that game. If my memory serves me correctly, we were ranked in the top 5 above Clemson going into that game, but dropped with the tie. Clemson finished the season undefeated and won the National Championship, but if we had beaten UH, what are the chances we would have remained above them in the rankings? Coach Akers' teams, especially during his first 6-7 years, don't get the recognition they deserve. Coach definitely did the University proud. Hook 'Em, coach, and RIP.
