  1. How the turntables have turned
  2. Excellent. Texas desperately needs its Rs to develop a capable circular firing squad. They initially would be elated by the plethora of firepower, at least until they noticed the absence of good guys with guns.
  3. It would be safer. Opiates impair marksmanship.
  4. He covered most of the distance while jayflying.
  5. I could watch that all day long. Next up: sticks & stones.
  6. I have friends in Ellensburg. It was their wedding day. imagine family traveling from out of town, stuffed into your crowded farm house while 6 inches of ash falls and electrical charges burst through the air like little demons on what was supposed to be your magical day. Some would take it as a harbinger of marital doom. Yet these are among the coolest folks I know. They just rolled with it. Still happily married after all these years.
  7. No one ever talks about the good the Nazis did
  8. If only it could have been foreseen that a narcissist who tried to foment armed rebellion to overturn election results and install himself as Exalted Ruler would have used this platform shamelessly and without respect for norms. Oops!
  9. Bless you for sharing that. What a beautiful, composed write up by a person who just lost her beloved dad. I didn’t know Lance Blanks but sensed his empathetic nature during broadcasts. It’s evident to most on this board that Lowell has struggled and fallen short of what fans expect from a Longhorn play by play guy. No doubt Lance was aware that Lowell faced an uphill battle. You’d often hear him building up Lowell, complimenting Lowell, and not as an insincere, obsequious thing, rather as a fellow human being who felt bad for a colleague’s struggles and wanted to show support so that they could succeed. It was an easy to miss gesture, but always showed me the kind heart LB possessed.
  10. It’s a foolproof system.
  11. I’m a descendant of Cotton Mather and another progenitor started the 1st Christian church In Alabama. Plus the whole slaves thing. So yeah, I’ve got a large karmic generational debt to pay which I’m slowly repaying in tiny increments with insightful posts in the Cliak Room.
  12. Absolutely this. As long as the widespread fomenting of hate and fear continues unchecked and goes rewarded, along with unfettered access to firepower, this shit will continue. Upside: all it takes is sufficient resolve on the part of Americans to change things. This is also unfortunately the downside.
  13. Is that like a curtsy?
  14. The Cloak Room is a terrible place!!!
  15. So sad about this. RIP to Lance Blanks and condolences to those who loved him.
  16. A corollary of our collective failure to manage guns in the US is a pessimism that we’re capable as a people of seriously addressing climate change. If you can’t even rally the troops to a clear cut, man made problem that regularly kills children as seen on TV, what hope is there that enough of the audience will be moved by a slower-unfolding disaster with multiple etiologies and somewhat localized effects? We couldn’t even all agree that masks are not a personal infringement during a modern plague. We are a nation of dumbfucks that need to get on the same page.
  17. I hear he broke his hyphen.
  18. Hell yes. Big get.
  19. Removing the Oakleys must have been like the moment Vader’s helmet was taken off and his humanity revealed, if Vader had a gin blossom.
  20. Do you not think SEC SEC SEC will hate Texas to the same degree? Basketball wise, it’s Kansas and the field since the Big 12 started. SEC should hold more drama in terms of competing for conference championships, even if it’s not the same level of competition throughout the conference. You’d think the cross-school cabal would aim at Jayhawk basketball, no? Sincere question. I’m willing to be wrong again.
  21. Most Fox viewers just want to stay abreast of who and what to hate and fear. Fox must keep meeting that malignant need and they should be able to weather this. I believe in them and their infinite capacity for poisoning the communal (read: communist) well. You can do this guys.
  22. If we have a Trump-Fox death match ahead, I may actually start looking forward to the 2024 elections, replacing the dread currently occupying that bit of mental space.
  23. Rodney Terry’s really scouring the transfer portal these days.
