  1. Johnny had some contractual obligations he had to fulfill when he joined the CFL, among them drug testing. Was being tested for recreational drugs and Lithium IIRC. Was supposed to be drug tested in the off season too. Team officials couldn't get ahold of him at some point and he was incommunicado I believe. I think Montreal tried to work with him but Johnny didn't want to play by their rules anymore. Of course aggy says Johnny voided the contract intentionally so he could play in 'Merica.
  2. Basically, you are cognizant enough (in a dreamlike state) to know you're sleeping, but powerless to move. You want to wake yourself up in the worst way, but can't. You are in a highly agitated state. I first noticed years ago taking a Sunday nap in front of the TV. I could hear the golf tournament; I knew where I was, and I knew that I was asleep. I would envision/dream of trying to rock myself off the couch so that I would fall off and wake myself up. But I was paralyzed... Weird, huh?
  3. Hiked that same trail years ago with friend over thanksgiving weekend. It's a well marked trail. Most technical part is having to foard the Cossatot River a the start of the hike (wasn't above knees when we went). He's a knucklehead too.
  4. They say one is more prone to sleep paralysis while sleeping on your back. That seems to be true for me.
  5. Nicole is a handful.
  6. similar to when Bill O'Reilly had "body language experts" when Obama was prez
  7. RIP Gerry Frayley
  8. After no soap and hot water for 17 days, I'm sure she found it.
  9. It is weird. Saying "I'll just leave my phone and water bottle, I'm only going for a short jog." and then "Hey, I think I'll go off trail into the dense, steep jungl!" doesn't seem like a normal progression of thought.
  10. If the UIL is like another other sports governing body, I wouldn't count on them to a bastion of morality.
  11. Started vaping CBD juice bout 6 weeks ago, Hawaiian POG flavored. I enjoy it.
  12. Fried quail, biscuits n gravy
  13. got one of those at a Stuckey's in the 70's
  14. came here just for this
  15. Had a bud I've known since 4th grade (and we were at UT at the same time) call me last night to see if I wanted to go to AK next month with him. I hemmed and hawed about the fact I'm going again next year on a DIY float/fish trip, and a week at a nice fishing lodge would run $6K or so, airfare not included. He said we could take his Beechcraft Baron (with a pilot) at no charge to me, then rent a RV in Anchorage and head down the Kenai. I replied commercial air was a 6.5 hour trip or so, how long would it take in the Baron? He said about 8-9 hours, added with some fueling/piss stops along the way. So I googled the cruising speed of a Baron. It would take about 16 hours at cruising speed, not including pit stops. So, two days just to get there. Ummm, no. I would get PTSD being cooped that long. Offered to pay my way on AA then rent a RV once we get there. We'll see.
  16. For pizza in Anchorage, try Moose's Tooth. Damn fine, especially after being in the bush for a week.
  17. Bill.
  18. So the dude keeps lettuce out on the counter like you would do to apples, bananas, onions, etc. wtf
  19. And not that weak shit. 100% brutha!
  20. Love Alaska, been there 5 times, going again next year. Fly-fishing for trout & coho's in such a pristine setting is absolutely awesome. Last time I went was in 2016 with my brother while we were on a DYI rafting/fishing trip. He announces that we will get up in the middle of the night and watch the northern lights, weather permitting. Woke up two nights in a row, nothing but a gorgeous, clear, starry night. Got home and my brother discovered there are websites that forecast the Aurora such as: https://www.gi.alaska.edu/monitors/aurora-forecast Turns out that although SW Alaska kicks ass for fishing, it's not the greatest for catching the northern lights.
  21. Try a Mexican market or a Halal market. In Dallas, try Sara's in Richardson.
