  1. Separates for sure. 8" Chef's knife that feels comfortable in your hand. Paring knife. Boning knife. Bread knife. and/or 12" slicer. Honing steel. Kitchen shears. Something to keep the knives sharp. Good, thick, wooden cutting board is nice add on. No glass or bamboo. To that, if want to mix things up, you can add things like a nice, heavy, inexpensive cleaver, Asian, high carbon Chef's knife, a peeler, and a microplane. But the above should do you. It's 90% chef's knife, really. They have some blocks with the magents in them (and more space for the knives). We have a wedding gift knife block set that is for family and guests, which I try to keep reasonably sharp and may use if it's just a quick task. I have my own roll of decent knives, which I use, but is kept in a cabinet. It beats having to bird dog my family or anyone else who wants to beat up on the available kitchen knives. I've tried to make something like this work on paper, but no luck size-wise.
  2. Says the guy who argued hard against liquid smoke's being the key to Texas brisket.
  3. You sound like you cheered the loudest for Jet Pack Guy.
  4. One of my favorite guitar players. I've got some great stuff of his I recorded off the board at the Satellite Lounge in Houston when he was there with Soulhat as a trio with Mack McNab on drums and the bass player from the Ginge'bread Men (1998 or thereabouts). Two completely different shows, and both were absolute barn-burners. I need to dig those out of the CD box.
  5. Kevin also does their demo videos, which almost always make me want to buy something I don't need.
  6. If I were to advocate playing this game anywhere but in the Cotton Bowl during the State Fair, I fully would expect to be beat to within an inch of my life by Fletcher's Corn Dogs and waterboarded with beer from waxed-paper cups. I do not fear change, but I do not support insanity. This game is too special to mess with the venue or date relative to the State Fair.
  7. I need to go back and watch that one. Youtube has a good 7 minute highlight reel of the game.
  8. I cousin of mine is going to volunteer for a certain number of hours at NRG to be able to get in for some sort of standing room situation. I'm not sure how that works.
  9. Or beating OU in the Fiesta Bowl running a well-executed SOL play for the 2-point conversion. That. Was. Satisfying.
  10. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24448690/texas-aggies-declined-texas-longhorn-series-renewal-proposal
  11. Oh, I'd say it was pretty critical. An 11-2 Texas isn't getting into the CFP if everything else stays the same. But beating Alabama locked us in front of them despite our loss to OU. And their beating Georgia is the only thing that vaulted us from 7 to 3.
  12. A little credit. Used car salesmen serve a purpose.
  13. I think that's how much it ran me last time for a 3 month supply.
  14. I just rolled into Exile. Just tremendous from playing to production. Everyting from 1968--1972 from them is next level by any standard of that time period or this one. I once said that if anyone released anything approaching Full Moon Fever today, it would blow people's minds. But even though it was tremendous, even in its time, there were a lot of good albums back then, and we were used to it. Looking at it restrospectively, really makes me appreciate how good the overall level of music was in the 20th century.
  15. It was perfect up until that "We're back!" thing was uttered and stuck to us like a dog turd from the wet grass on a lawnmower tire. Oddly specific, I know.
  16. Up until this moment, I've always placed it second to Let it Bleed. But I'm so close to flipping those two. So close for me.
  17. I've got Sticky Fingers on the HiFi right now. We as a people didn't deserve the Rolling Stones. But I'm sure we all got to live in the time of said Rolling Stones. I tend to forget how damned special Wild Horses is.
  18. As for the tailpiece, my only experience with the trapeze tailpiece is on my 1970 335, and it's been no issue as far as tone goes. I know some people don't love them, but I've not really noticed it. Back on topic, my failed Epiphone Casino experiment. It sure was pretty, but . . . All in with the hard case, I only paid $500. used Sold it to Chicago Music Exchange when it sat a while on Reverb for a little less. Worth it to know I didn't need to chase that model.
