    Funny story - I was transiting through O'Hare Tuesday night and we got delayed due to traffic issues + a maintenance issue.  And we are waiting at our second gate and I overhear some guys (Surly-ites, probably) bitching about Chicago.  "First they ruined Whataburger and now this"

    I did not realize that Chicago played a role in the NowThis saga…

  2. Different strokes for different folks.  Since BT uses two different mashbills and five different yeast strains for a total of ten different combinations, they have some variety to play with.  I searched online to try to find the breakdown, but no luck.  Small batch is a blend of several of those varieties, whereas single barrell is just one of them.  The standard issue single barrels are always the same variety, but the private label single barrels can be any one of the ten.  BT fanatics try to collect store picks of all ten for comparative (and bragging) purposes.

    Bottom line - drink what you like!  If it's less expensive, then bonus!

    Ole Miss/LSU also play on Texas/OU weekend.

    You guys need LSU to pull off another classic early season ugly loss to make UT/OU the clear first choice.

  4. Question from a TX native that hasn't lived there for 33-ish years - is Golden Chick connected in any way to the Golden Fried Chicken chain from back in the 1980's?  I grew up in Mineral Wells, where Richard Stewart started Golden, built it up into a decent regional chain, sold it, sat out a non-compete, then started Chicken Express essentially re-inventing his chicken wheel.  I have never laid eys on a Golden Chick, so I have no idea how similar or different their menu is to Chicken E.

    Thanks in advance!

  5. My daughter played up on an 18's team this year, so our nationals was last weekend.  Feels weird being done with club season this early.  Having to pay for private lessons to keep skills sharp in the gap before school tryouts later this month.  I think she is enjoying the mental break, though.

  6. I'm tempted to contrast that reaction to this site's feelings towards the Titan's throwback Oilers unis, which are the best unis in the history of, well, unis, but I don't want to get negged into oblivion.  Carry on.

    Update? One of my patients went blind after getting shingles in one of their eyes. 

    Oh, all good.  I didn't actually have shingles in the eye, just some sort of aggrivation of the middle layer of the eye that they think was likely brought on by the virus.  Don't you put that eye shingles evil on me Ricky Bobby!

  8. Jerry has lots of good advice.  Stretch way more than you think you need to.  Low intensity, long duration, static calf stretches, both with your knee straight and with your knee bent.  The night splint might be worth every penny (also works wonders for plantar fassciitis as well).  But proper stretching is the biggest key.  You do NOT want that bad boy snapping on you!
