  1. They just opened one in Hutto last week. Been packed every time I drive by.
  2. Don't doubt it. Years ago we took a family vacation to Niagara Falls. On the way our van died, transmission went out in Memphis, so we had to buy a new van to complete the trip. Of course going into Canada with a brand new van with paper plates, you woulda thought we were terrorists. Pulled our kids out of the van, asked them questions, questioned the hell out of us... We're as white bread as can be, but hey, maybe that's what we wanted them to think...
  3. Very real. My wife runs the color guard at our high school, and they have winterguard competitions coming up. The other day the principal sent out an email stating that any school trips over 100 miles from the school, he need to know about. She first thought this was some cost-cutting move/deciding if it was worth spending the money on.. She asked him about it and yeah, turns out they want to know so they can prepare for this, as lots of groups, athletic, academic, arts, travel down south for competitions. Most of our schools teams don't travel much farther south than San Antonio, but some go to Corpus, and if there was something further south, they might have to reconsider it. Majority Hispanic at our school, so it's an issue. They've already had conversations on what to do if ICE or someone shows up at the school. Fuck it all.
  4. Bout time to dust this one off I guess... Love the Repo Man low key version of this one too
  5. Went with songs I feel pushed the genre forward, could have picked 30 others but these just rolled outta me head Rock Around the Clock Maybelline Rumble I Saw Her Standing There You Really Got Me My Generation Satisfaction Whole Lotta Love Iron Man Suffragette City
  6. This is glue. Strong stuff.
  7. I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima.
  8. Go down to Crossroads and grab a pivo or three, that'll warm you up. oh, and TEXAS!!!!!!
  9. I loved watching the Beatles cartoons when I was a kid (along with the Monkees, Jackson 5 cartoon, Banana Splits, the Bugaloos, the Archies, the Partridge Family, lots of rockin shows for a kiddo back then)... but I never saw this one, holy fuck! Sing along kids! ETA: apparently it's a fan made clip, so my bad, but still funny as hell, and I still enjoy the cartoons.
  10. Since we're going back to Repo Man times, we'll all be here soon
  11. Spent a couple of days in Fargo on vacation, go Nodak St
  12. It also comes with tortillas, so in order to make a proper Mexican cfs taco, the beans and rice come in handy. And yes I did pour more queso (upper left) on top of it.
  13. Mas Fajitas, Taylor
  14. Black-eyed peas, cornbread, fried cabbage, pivo and the Horns kicking some ass, gonna be a good day. Let's fucking do this!
  15. The Possum, no. Buck Owens, yes.
  16. Here is my shitty tape of a tape of a tape copy, but you get a different camera angle at the end...
  17. I can upload the entire game, but I found this in the meantime. I'll also upload a slightly longer clip from my crappy copy with another angle from the game...
  18. That was my freshman year in Longhorn Band, I’ve got it on dvd somewhere (x-ferred from vhs), gimme a few days and I’ll upload it…
  19. Lots that I will watch, if I happen to catch them on tv or can be bothered to drag out a dvd, but only 2 I have to see every year, a Christmas Story and Stalag 17. Not Christmas without Seftin, Animal, and Equipoise. But not security, fuck him.
  20. All the 64 footage comes from this documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles:_The_First_U.S._Visit As to the girls reaction to the Ed Sullivan show, just as as Michael Lindsay Hogg's intuitiveness to place a microphone in a flower pot, the Maysles brothers instinctively knew that they need to capture the reaction of someone experiencing the event like the majority of the nation did, watching on TV. Brilliant film-making. This is a good "behind the scenes" documentary:
  21. If you are a movie buff, you know the story behind this one. Should be interesting. (Tonight btw, 7pm)
  22. Yes, what Mr. Hoitie-Toitie said… although I was in a hurry the other day and forgot to add a bay leaf, one that came out of a jar and looked like it came off my front yard about 1987, fresh herbs, ok Julia Child… j/k flavor it up as much as you want, a splash of worchestershire sauce or red wine is acceptable, I’m still getting used to the fact you can actually get fresh herbs from HEB, mine have always come from McCormick and have an average shelf life of 10 years
  23. Enjoy! Should have added - the order above is how I dump everything in the pot, so the potatoes are on top. I don't touch a thing for about 5 hours, and then after that give everything a good stir so it gets good and mixed (pull some of the meat up from the bottom, get those potatoes all mixed in good). And I have no idea what temp I cook at, this is an old Rival crock pot/fry daddy we got on our wedding day, the numbers have completely worn off the dial after 35 years. I'd say I probably keep it around 275 or so for a few hours, then slowly increase every hour or so, until a slow boil the last hour. You might want to stir more frequently then as it will thicken up and it might stick a little if you don't have a good ceramic pot. Also, as I mentioned, if you want to go more the vegetable soup route, you can get a bag of frozen soup veggies (peas, carrots, green beans, whatever you like), I just like to keep mine the simpler the better. And i only made cornbread because I wanted some, but usually I eat this with a big ol' sleeve of saltine crackers. Still eat it like a kid where I'll scoop out some meat and veggies, place it on a cracker and shove the whole thing into my mouth. Some things I'll never outgrow.
