  1. Man, if I didn't already have white hair as a 49 year old dad, . . .
  2. What's up with that green UT shirt on our sideline dude? Also, on the muffed punt.
  3. Brooks with awesomeness hilarity!
  4. Just lead him a little bit, and we're in the end zone.
  5. Could we get a shopped version of this picture with the hookem sign etched in?
  6. Big fan of Caddyshack II, Mrs. Esterhouse? Breaking Training is watchable only because I'm from Houston and like seeing the Dome.
  7. This is out of left field. But I came across this, and Tanner has serious Derp-run-in-the-2011-game-against-aggy vibes.
  8. Addendum: I've been a bit worried about this for days. Thanks for this thread. If I hadn't happened to click on it again, I might not have pursued the question. Happy to have the Surly resource. I'll update when I get an answer: just in case it helps anyone.
  9. He went to that 3-day camp, which was like orientation before orientation. If he heard something about it, I'm pretty sure it was in one ear and out the other. He's smart, but he's a teenager. I was thinking the same thing about contacting admission. Thanks again!
  10. Thanks for posting this. I was looking through it and saw this: "Note: Top 6% Texas Residents are guaranteed Liberal Arts if they choose it first. " So my son is working on the common app now. His focus is liberal arts. I think Plan II is a big reach but would be good for him. The idea was to rank it high as a "Major" with English and History as 2 and 3. I guess it is part of liberal arts, right? He is top 6%, but I don't want to blow up his auto-admit to liberal arts by putting the "reach" first. Anyone have any ideas about this?
  11. 1 -> A (or possibly A or B) 2 -> C 3 -> I'm guessing merge to C (might be a "lane ends" sign we can't see). There's only one left turn lane (you can see the arrow on the pavement). If it's anything like right turn rules, you have to keep the vehicle in the closest lane if it's safe to do so, but I don't know if there's a comparable rule for left turns, and the above statute seems to suggest that there isn't. But there may be something akin to the "wide-right turn" violation, which I have seen twice in the last year as an excuse to pull over a car (and search). Been keeping my right turns tighter as a result.
  12. I tipped. Nah, just kidding. It's Tyler. We only got one IMAX, and from the looks of the place, they need that $5 more than I do. Ghost town on a Friday night. The newer theaters are doing fine though. Hopefully, they snag that IMAX setup when that AMC goes under. On the other hand, it's damned nice to be able to go to a movie and have the place virtually to yourself. Our group comprised at least 50% of the people in the theater. There were seven of us. Not a big Talking Heads town, or so it seems.
  13. If you've ever been like, hey, I should watch Stop Making Sense, IMAX is officially your best bet. That big suit was HUGE. I also am reminded that, while it can be difficult, the way to enjoy that movie to its fullest is to remember to try to watch people in the band other than David Byrne. Anyway, most definitely worth my $15. The sound was incredible! Also, the way they created the lighted effects on What a Day it Was is awesome and something I did not remember. Also, the live version of Life During Wartime (Naive Melody) is one of the prettiest things ever and the superior version of the song.
  14. More than six. Six is the cap, which actually makes sense. You want to leave one nostril unimpeded so as not to interfere with breathing (unless that's your thing).
  15. Anyone in or passing through Tyler and the surrounding areas would do well to check the schedule for the location of Rollin Stone Craft Burgers food truck for that day. And now, I need a nap.
