  1. we're all open to your sharing of comparable quality at a lower price boot brands? lets hear em!
    (not being a smart ass legit want to know)

    I mean what kind of boot are you after? Are you a square toe guy or a j-toe with an M-heel?

    Your first mistake is thinking that Lucchese is a quality boot. Just because it’s at the higher end of the price spectrum doesn’t make something quality. I worked in the boot world for a good while and the only boots that consistently had more cosmetic flaws than Lucchese were Larry Mahan’s. I have Ariat exotics that have held up better construction-wise and also look better than any of my Lucchese’s.

    My personal preference is Anderson Bean and Rios, and I have several pair of BlackJack customs as well. Not sure about their prices now, but when I got out of the boot business I could get you a custom fit, custom designed pair of BlackJack for several hundred dollars cheaper than the comparable stock Lucchese model. Hell most of the Justin exotics are a good buy.

    The only reason I can see to buying Lucchese other than just wanting to be able to say you have a pair of Lucchese’s is if they are the ones that fit your foot the best. If that is the case, then go get measured and get yourself some custom BlackJacks and save a couple hundred $

  2. Frequent customer of mine. Mid 70’s. Never calls before midnight. Every time we get there he’s sans pants or sans undies. Wants us to help him up off the floor and in to the chair. Bitches the whole time about how we’re doing it wrong and don’t drop him or he’ll sue.

    Few months back he must have hit the bottle or his Xanax kicked in because he was polite, friendly and had pants on for the first time ever.

    Get him in to his chair and he leans forward with a smirk and he says “Hey you got any colored boys with you?”. I look at my two coworkers (one Vietnamese and one very Hispanic), then I answered no. He grins even bigger and says “How y’all like my little n***er dolls?!” Looked to where he was pointing and there was about 4 shelves covered in Little Sambo dolls.

    I know that word was commonplace amongst folks from his era but that was a long damn time ago. No ducking excuse for that shit

  3. Dude showed up in some Austin groups recently, makes sense now that that you said he got kicked out of some DFW groups.  

    He created his own group after being run from pretty much every other local DFW group. Also had to do the same with a secondary market group because the couple local ones either ran him off or wouldn’t do business with him lol. Look up pompous douchenozzle in the dictionary and you’ll find his picture.
  4. My cow chasers are several pair of cowhide Anderson Beans. When it’s nasty or cold as balls, I’ve got a pair of 13 year old Georgia MudDogs that kick some serious ass. Waterproof and insulated. Best mucking around boot I’ve ever had.

  5. Crepe sole went out of style in the mid 2000’s. You can still order almost all Justin products with a crepe sole, but you won’t find them on a shelf anywhere they’ll have to come from factory so 120 days or so.

  6. Of course I chose the windiest day we’ve had in two fucking weeks to start spraying. Going to give this Rezilon a go. Almost 60 acres is an expensive experiment at $345/quart/8 acres. This is supposed to be the cats ass so if it works half as well as it’s supposed to it should be well worth it.

  7. What can I say about that little bitch that hasn’t already been said? I won’t repeat everything BigD said, I’ll just say he’s spot on about everything. But to add to it, that little fuck has a bad case of little man syndrome. He tried to talk to me a certain way and I let him know that where I’m from you get your ass kicked for talking that way to another man. He proceeded to continue running his mouth until a mutual friend informed him of who I am and what I look like. He then put me on ignore lol.

    If y’all haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a bit of an abrasive and dry personality whereas BigD is one of the most easygoing and laid back dudes you’ll ever meet. He’s not a nihilist, but he’s pretty damn close. When you make his shit list you’re officially a dirtbag.

  8. Its not about the businesses with this message
     
     
    saying that you dont have to wear a mask and opening things up 100% is telling the public that the pandemic is over and people can let their guard down. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reason we only have 50k cases a day and 2k dead a day now is because of fucking masks and limitations. 

    Hold the phone here fuckknob. You’re saying we have averaged 2k deaths per day in the state of Texas since this started 12 months ago?
  9. I truly believe Russ was a tortured soul. Dude was a train wreck off the air, but when it came to his job he was incredible. I can’t tell you how many times I laughed to the point of tears while driving home from work to that show. When he stepped out a couple years ago it wasn’t the same.

    Over $500k in checks written to the widows/family of fallen DFW area first responders.

    Fundraisers for sick kids? He was there.

    Non-profit animal shelter struggling for funds? Russ was on it.


    His good “friend”, personal physician and constant guest on the show Dr. Carlos Venegas was arrested and charged with a number of federal felonies related to prescription drugs, and almost immediately is when Russ began his hiatus from the show. I don’t think those two are unrelated.

  10. Y’all remember that time he put his alma mater on blast and said he got paid for big plays, then crawfished and said he didn’t have any knowledge or proof that it actually happened?

    Yeah, fuck him with rusty barbed wire.

  11. My friend, the one I’ve chronicled here over the last two years, is about to lose the battle with his demons. Yesterday would have been 10 weeks sober for him, but he relapsed on Monday. He’s out of sick time at work, and last relapse at the beginning of December the powers above us said this was the last time they would be able to let this go unaddressed. This isn’t going to end well.

  12. The people bitching about how they spent X amount of dollars at TW and didn’t win shit or didn’t win something highly allocated make me cringe and my local groups are full of them. Lotteries, how do they work?

  13. 15 is out-fucking-standing. I don’t do backup bottles often but that’s one I’d backup if the opportunity presented itself.

    I have to have a backup before I can open a bottle. Yes I’m well aware that I’m strange
