ND Kalu - former Rice and NFL 12 year defensive end - always brings up on his radio show in Houston how he helped Rice beat Texas in 1994. It's all in good fun though.
Rice is a good barometer for showing the difference between UT fans and aggys. When the band made fun of our recently arrested players, we laughed our asses off and thought was all in good fun. When they poke fun at aggy, they get threatened and attacked.

Can you elaborate?
In 1973 the Texas A&M Aggies took exception to a MOB performance which featured such typical MOB irreverence as Nazi-style goosestepping, turning the Aggie War Hymn into "Little Wooden Soldier March", and forming a fire hydrant while playing "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" in reference to the Aggie mascot Reveille. After the game, the Aggies formed an angry moboutside Rice's own stadium, trapping the Owl band inside for hours until police dispersed some of the crowd and allowed the band to exit, transported by food service trucks. In the years after this now-infamous show, attention has been focused on the shot at Reveille, and that this was an attempt to mock the mascot shortly after her death; in fact it was no more than "poorly-aimed scatological humor," the mascot in question having been alive and present at the game.

I went to the one in West U for the first time recently and was expecting to desire seppuku.
They had IPA on tap and the pizza was not THAT bad. I was floored. I cannot believe I am saying this but I would go back.
Maybe I have malaria.

Valhalla is legit. Pretty sure they've moved on from Pearl, but it's still damn cheap. Like $1.20 for a beer last I recall. Especially great when the weather is nice and you can hang out on the patio tables (since it still smells pretty rank downstairs).
Yeah, they've moved on from Pearl. Valhalla is pretty much a grad student and faculty bar. The undergrads go to Willy's Pub.
Damn, this talk is making me miss the Union's Texas Tavern. Sucks that UT closed it.

I grew up in Houston. Two immediately family members attended. All of the above is true. Valhalla is still great and cheap; went there a couple of months ago. Residential Colleges are everything to students (think Harry Potter). Their parties are insane. And one college streaks through campus twice a month. It's like a university's version of Surly, except that the people are smart.
Unlike other institutions, the school doesn't punish students for expressing themselves in offensive ways. They treat them like adults, which is good because the students are usually smarter than the faculty. This is typical of Rice:

I told my wife that I want it mentioned in my obituary, as an example of my love for her, that I went with her before kids and marriage to one of her friends kids birthday parties at Chuck E Cheese. God , I love that woman, undefeated.
She must have huge tits.

It's one thing if you're dumb enough to take your own kid there. But it's rude as fuck to have your kid's birthday party there and force other parents to go.
The one time I had to take my kid to a party there (which I would never do again), a worker told me that locations in the worst areas don't sell beer in order to reduce fights. So if you live near one that doesn't sell beer, well...

Then they joined the Big XII and grew into a fanbase of whiny bitches on the way to a 1-9 conference record against Texas and, well, you know how it ended.
Yep. Didn't mind them until then.

I was just invited to a friend’s wedding on October 6th. For those unfamiliar with October 6th, that is the date we will destroy the dirt burglars and the Ewok.

And the fake bullshit drama begins! Whatever happened to doing your duty by sitting through the horrible commencement followed by a simple family bbq then letting the grad go have fun with their high school friends? When did shit become one event after the other to fluff the egos of the parents?
Niece graduates in June. SIL is trying to guilt my wife (her twin sis; no pics) into spending 4-5 nights in Spring as part of her daughter's graduation week (WTF) celebration. Festivities include:
- 3 dinners, 2 brunches and a formal "afternoon tea" between Wed and Fri
- Nail/Spa day for the girls
- Professional photo sitting
And other bullshit "fun" things all designed for SIL to show off her money & her friends with money. Now her sis is trying to hit her with bullshit guilt texts. My wife knows her sis all too well & isn't falling for it.
To make things worse, niece is going to ou in the fall.
tl;dr -- high school graduation ceremonies suck sweaty donkey balls.

This clown has lost his mind. That is the worst Jeep engine made and it's in shitty shape. Finally, you can damn near get a new entry level for that cost or at least a huge down payment. Yeah I think it is $10kish more but still...
Yeah, but peanut butta inside, jelly outside.
