  1. FULL-TIME RESIDENT OF WICHITA FALLS Don’t apply. It’s hard work living in Wichita Falls. Most people would rather be charged by rhinos. Wichita Falls surpasses even Waco as the pits. At least Waco has the Brazos River, the Texas Ranger Museum, and the Lone Star Tavern. Wichita Falls is next to nowhere and all it has is bad weather. Last summer people in Dallas wilted for 36 days under 100-degree-plus weather, but Wichita Falls had them beat by an average of 3 degrees and 17 days. It’s no better in winter—unbearably cold, and it snows. It also blows. The 1978 Guinness Book of World Records lists Wichita Falls as the spot where the highest tornado winds on record occurredo280 miles per hour on April 2, 1958. Barry Williamson, like Wichita Falls’ other 95,007 inhabitants, should get hardship pay. He’s lived there for almost all of his 32 years. “I escaped twice,” says Barry, “only to come back, like most of my friends. We must be crazy. The countryside is drab brown with sickly mesquites, the weather is unbelievable. I’ve tried to kick the habit, but it’s no good. Our city’s motto is “The City That Faith Built.” I have always assumed that it referred to some dark, masochistic tendency in human nature, and that appeals to me, like watching Howard Cosell. If a city could be a person, I guess Wichita Falls would be Howard Cosell, the city you love to hate.” https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/bad-jobs/ This was written before the bad tornado of 79.
  2. Some day shifts are better than others. @TexasHammer @MissingInAction said this is you. Are you going to eat a hat? I remember a lot of crowing from you in CR back at the old place. I expect the Hillary thread has contributions from you. Is it you? You can break out another name. The tobacco name series of one poster is a testament to how easy it is to get by if you don't come out of the gate with the stupid cranked up to 11. Enjoy your hat. edit: That's not the real Texashammer name. Hmm
  3. Who was the president when you turned 18 and how did you respond to them? That's the pertinent question for each generation. It's less about when you were born and more about how you feel/think at that point you are able to vote. Reagan beguiled a lot of Gen X.
  4. The problem I have with this is why did they pull him then? If this is Southern Strategy 2.0 then you let him keep rambling. But, they got him out of there because they knew it was awful.
  5. You ain't gonna stop are you? Well, don't let me hinder you. Carry on Frenchie.
  6. This is some grade A surly content.
  7. Fucking this. We tried to fix the Border issues and he shitcanned it. Hammer it home. There are quotes aplenty attesting to this fact.
  8. https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/the-story-of-michelangelos-david The fig leaf When Queen Victoria first encountered the cast of David at the Museum, she was apparently so shocked by his nudity that a proportionally accurate fig leaf was commissioned to cover the genitalia. The leaf was kept in readiness for any royal visits, when it was hung on the figure using two strategically placed hooks. The original fig leaf, made by Papi, has sadly been lost but we have a version, made in 1857, in our collection. Art. Offending people since the beginning of time.
  9. Next time someone accuses this place of being an echo chamber these last few pages should be cited.
  10. In 2008 it was Hillary voters that said party unity my ass. Then Bernie Bros got mad about black people "Not getting it". It was stupid then and dumber now. Purity tests are fine for things like food and medicine but it's politics we're dealing with here. There is no one pure. Nothing and nobody will ever measure up to what you or anyone else that's threatening to sit out want in a candidate. Go sit in your burning house and refuse to do anything about it. The country is literally at stake and you're gonna sit it out. Well, bye.
  11. Not one pinto bean at all. Also has salads that aren't really salads. Stupid algorithm got me and now I gotta see what crazy ass stuff they do up there.
  12. One of the weirdest mfers on the planet is going on Hannity to explain it away? Bwahaha!
  13. Regulations about being older than 18 to operate a chainsaw or wood chipper were written in blood. Several somebodies had to die or lose body parts for them to be on the books. Plus, I want to see how the insurance industry reacts to the idea of having a 15-17 year old with a chainsaw up in a tree.
  14. Fungal. The damage is being done when it looks fine in the spring. The best times to spray is coming out of dormancy and going into it Which product is a matter of debate. I prefer to start with T-methyl.
