  1. Well, it would give Immamac a place to live. Plus, if what I've read about Longhorn Jesus is true, he will be back.
  2. After Thanksgiving weekend concluded, I realized we were out of some "legit kitchen accessories." So today, I ordered 24 32-oz. Deli Containers with lids, a masking tape dispenser, and 3 rolls of green masking tape to label leftovers. The lids fit all sizes, and they stack so well. Our Tupperware-type stuff is wearing out and disappearing and probably won't reappear and finding a matching lid always was a pain.
  3. Sorry. Best we can do is tree-350ks.
  4. I've never heard a discouraging word about a Pro Jr.
  5. Depends which one. The 50s tweeds are pretty rare if I recall correctly. There's a 5f4 on Reverb with a $13k ask, which is nuts. I've got a Clark Penrose (Tweed Super Clone), and once I figured how the treble knob was basically like a drive/gain knob, I've really have enjoyed it. The early 60s "Brown" Supers seem to be pretty close to the new ones in price (I know this is the one we're talking about, harmonic tremolo and all)

    When I first watched the video, I questioned whether he was wearing pants. Glad to see I was wrong on that score.
  7. The harmonic tremolo on the originals was really special. Hopefully, they got it right on the reissue.

    When our older son was in the same boat, we got him a Fluance RT81. I think it has a preamp, but we just gave him an older amp we had lying around with a phono input. It's been a good table for him and has survived college so far.
  9. Similar story. I was working and I hear some dude walking down the street behind our office saying some weird shit. I look out the window in time to see a guy with a plastic bag from the nearby convenience store. The thing is loaded with 40s of malt liquor. Predictably it breaks and one bottle falls to the pavement and shatters. The dude loses his shit and proceeds to smash the rest of them on the street while yelling shit that would make Red Foxx blush. Foolishly, I did not get my phone out in time to record his tantrum.
  10. Not possible. She was with me.
  11. Ah, the no-no square. First reference on Surly I've seen to it. Am I correct in assuming you were, at one point in time, a prosecutor?
  12. And John Mulaney because . . . somebody has to say grace.
  13. Seeing one of my parents' handwriting on anything is such a great nostalgia jolt. I was laughing the other day about the fact that over the years, my mom emailed me copies of her Thanksgiving dressing recipe. She apparently had two versions, one of which was derived from the other. But I have them both in my recipe file. The one I use calls for one cup of onions. The alternate recipe calls for eight onions. That one is labeled "not the recipe but saved for posterity's sake."
