  1. My neighbor upstairs my senior year at UT had a girlfriend who would make these for us while we sat their and drank beer. There's no way they're as good as I remember them. But they're probably pretty good.
  2. Two dolls instead of thirty. Because the children have too much. Also, who rides a lion? I mean, honestly?
  3. No, usually I buy French green beans, which definitely are string beans. I cook them like my mom did, which probably softens them up enough so I don't notice my mistake. They are delicious in any event.

    We got Soul?

    Arguably one of the best.
  5. Me either. I've always just snapped the ends.
  6. Permission to come aboard: DENIED. Ole Brock Horner was charged with burglary and assault/battery after the incident.
  7. When I was about that age, my dad was 73. He was a quiet authority figure, and my mom was management, which including handing out discipline. So my dad and I were in a fishing boat, and he was talking to me about something that got under my skin, and I popped off to him. And before I even had a chance to regret that decision, he tapped me on the chin with two fingers and said, "Don't ever talk to me like that again.". I sat up straight, shut up, and apologized. He never once hit me. He didn't have to. He was in charge, and we all knew it. My mom, on the other hand, spanked my ass on a few occasions. I don't resent her for it. I probably had it coming. The last such time, I put some distance between us and negotiated to the point of her putting that elastic belt down and taking a few steps back so we could talk.
  8. I'd like to point out that we didn't even get pics of the Cattleack Brisket or the mac n cheese.
  9. My mom has Parkinson's, and once, she was being transported to the ER and was given a mild sedative because, by all appearances, she needed it. "Kicks the ant bed" is the correct analogy. She was not in her right mind for days and it's probably the closest we have come to losing her since the beginning of this long goodbye called Parkinson's.
  10. Is the TL/DR version of the Mac n Cheese recipe "I went to Luby's" on Midway and picked it up? Because that sounds solid if so.
  11. I know it's reality TV and, therefore, completely fake. But that was ridiculous.
  12. But you pare down the clutter in the process.
  13. No. You can just assign text bubble colors on your end. And so far, we cannot edit texts or respond to specific texts in a group chat. I did have the distinct pleasure the other day in telling a friend who was bitching about the quality of the video that he sent the group that if his iphone could run IOS 18, he now was allowed to send good videos. Alas, he had to admit that his iphone was too old to run IOS18.
  14. Kevin from Soulhat has one. It was his first electric and he recently refurbished it and has used it live.
  15. The lawyers he deserves. Mike Lindell lawyers threatened by judge over briefs loaded with AI-generated fake cases https://www.rawstory.com/lindell-dominion-2671843170/?utm
  16. LOL. That would have run $3.50. But Lone Star and Martinis were $1.50 all night long.
  17. Circling back on this. I can't rep it enough. I grew up in Houston in the 70s and 80s, and lived in Austin and Houston throughout the 90s. Never once did I have to specify unsweet tea. If you wanted sweet tea, you used the pink packets they put on the tables to put under the table legs to keep them from wobbling. I moved to east Texas in 2001 and the first time I ordered iced tea, I was met with, "Suuhweet or un-suuhweeeeet?" To make matters worse, in a noisy restaurant or at a drive-thru, "unsweet" is as close to "sweet" as you can get without saying, "sweet." I've got an idea, how about we call it tea and sweet tea. At least that way, I won't have to discover you got my order wrong by ingesting that syrupy nastiness.
  18. Used to be $1.50 at the Satellite Lounge in Houston for the El Orbis and bingo on Monday nights before that was moved to the Continental Club. Also, those of you digging sweet cornbread just haven't tried my third generation version sweetened with honey. Balance with the savory flavors is the key.
  19. Sir, this is a Dickie's.
  20. Cold Lone Star beats the shit out of Miller and Bud. It's not pretending to be anything other than a cheap beer, and I'll enjoy it with BBQ anytime. And they have puzzles under the cap that get harder the longer you drink them.
