  1. I remember this except I thought the poster was in Galveston because the mob angle was being played up.
  2. Geocaching practical joke gone wrong.
  3. I should get one of those to put over our pool in the winter
  4. You just described me sitting at the bar in Ego’s in the ‘00’s.
  5. Convert it so a salt water system.
  6. BottleRocket

    nvm

  7. (He CR'd it, not me) He hosted Willy’s Luck Reunion live broadcast on Facebook a couple of weeks ago as one of the 1st fund raisers for the covids. Would be real shitty if that’s when he caught it.
  8. I don’t think that there has ever been a person that went in for a sleep study and left without a report saying they needed a c-pap. Oh, and guess what, they sell you the machine too. That’s not to say that you wouldn’t benefit from one, but why don’t they just sell these devices at your local Walmart for $150 and be done with it.
  9. About 3 years. Hilton +1.
  10. I worked for the GC. Sorry, not sorry.
  11. I was on that Hilton project. It was the tallest building in Austin for a grand total of six months before being overtaken by the Frost building.
  12. I agree with whoever mentioned the closing of the xxx movie theater on South Congress around ‘96. The COA shut it down and opened a “community center “ complete with folding chairs and a ping pong table. A few months later the building was leased to a tech start-up. This was around the same time the COA paid off the LasManidos ladies $300k to go silent into the night.
  13. I think old Austin is still alive and kicking but if your not 18 to 25 years old and nearly broke you’re no longer able to see it.
  14. My Great Grandfather was a doctor in Kenedy, TX. He kept a record of births that he performed from 1881 to the mid 1930’s. My mom tells stories of riding with him around the county in his horse and buggy. If you have a relative born in or around Kenedy during this time frame, there is a good chance that their name is in this book.
  15. It’s called a drilled pier. As in it a piers to be a giant dildo for drilling South Austin’s mom.
  16. There is at BSL4 at UTMB that works on Ebola. I always thought that was a weird place to put a BSL4 with hurricanes and such. But then I realized that because it’s an island it would be pretty easy to contain by shutting down the bridges. Bottom line is you BOI you might DOI.
  17. This is how I remember my four summers working in the ranch department at Philmont.
  18. What would be cool is if they would link the “Texas Unclaimed Property” database with the DNA databases and boom there it is.
  19. It’s as if you posted on Shaggy from the future.
  20. I worked at Philmont as a cavalcade wrangler for four years in the ‘80’s and don’t recognize half of those camps. Things have changed a lot since them. I read recently that BSA just put it up as collateral or something.
