  1. Just found this and started S1. Two in and enjoying it.
  2. Leftover tamale dressing which rocked, leftover homemade proper chili, red onions, sharp as fuck cheddar. Eating it from a big serving bowl which annoys the wife, adding to the enjoyment.
  3. No doubt the most valuable and successful company on earth with Butts in its name.
  4. Typical Rivera as he scrambles to hang on though the new owners want a new name, new coach, everything. He also fired the DB coach. Ron is the de facto DC as much as he tries to hide it. Bring back the Redskins. Most natives are good with it.
  5. Miami Blues. She was mighty hot.
  6. I like most of this but the writing for these young folks is just annoying. Cate especially.
  7. Dolly kicking off the Salvation Army in a Cowboys cheerleader outfit. She is a treasure.
  8. Do they even teach cursive anymore? I had a nice hand in fifth grade. Now my handwriting might as well be a Jackson pollack art piece. I love my grandmother’s and mom’s handwritten recipes in their handwriting. That one room school house in Groesbeck for my grandmother might not have been Harvard in 1910 but they sure as hell taught reading writing and ciphering. I also like the old school ingredients. Like when margarine, by law, could not have yellow food coloring in it to protect the dairy lobby. It came with a packet of dye to mix in if you so desired. Oleo back then. My great grandmother had 14 kids. Made dozens of biscuits thru the day. When canned biscuits came out my great grandfather never again got a homemade biscuit.
  9. Lions playing like shit to make Aggy quit calling Dan. That comeback game gave them a false sense of greatness on a short week. They played like shit in that game too before they came back. Cowboys D line falls for it all the fucking time.
  10. Lions FO changing draft plans. Lots of QB talent coming out. When Goff is bad he’s really bad.
  11. I am glad you like pumpkin pie. I know many folks do. I didn’t hate on it. It only pisses me off when that’s the only dessert. My dad hated it, taught me to hate it. Same with sweet potato hate. He didn’t teach me to hate black folks, for which I’m thankful, but he had strong feelings about Plymouth owners and Dallas. I have no issue with anyone liking it I put it in my personal dislikes part rather than the things I believe deserve universal loathing. And I’ve not seen anyone asking for recipes or proudly showing off some aunt Myrtle Mae’s holiday congealed salad. (Wait! Could someone out there be mixing up a pumpkin pie congealed salad?)
  12. Wife is not feeling well so we didn’t go see the kids in Oklahoma. Just us two. Prime rib (Alton Brown’s reverse sear) with horseradish cream Tamale dressing (modified Lisa Fain recipe) Cranberry Orange sauce Smashed red potatoes Green bean casserole. No f’n shrooms. Sauteed Brussels sprouts with bacon Crescent rolls (Pillsbury. Childhood for us both) Pecan pie Cherry pie Brownies
  13. I don’t see any folks having some of the typical traditional awfulness of the Texas Thanksgiving spread. And where do we put stories about your irritating drunk brother in law or annoying nephew your sister spawned. I’m unlike many in that I hate pumpkin pie and sweet potato anything. I also don’t like lazy. Cold prefab rolls in a little tray. Canned cranberry sauce. A tub of country crock on the table. Sides from Popeyes or grocery in the store containers. My worst things: Cornbread oyster dressing. My grandmother made it for an uncle with the limestone county luxury item of canned oysters. Horrible. Tastes like fish slime and machine screws are I. Your dressing. And stinks the house up. Congealed salads. An unfortuntradition of Texas cuisine. My grandmother and an aunt would bring new ones each holiday. Barf jelly in a mold. Lemon jello, tuna fish, canned English peas, cottage cheese.. Lime jello, mayo, Pineapple, avocado, baby marshmallow, canned baby shrimp. Dr Pepper, cherry jello. Pecans, pimento, cool whip. The list was long. My dad hated them so they were one of the few things that fell outside the “one bite so you might actually like it” rule. Weird oddball shit. Chicken fried deer heart. Squirrel egg rolls. First Thanksgiving food: “it’s pimmican!” “It’s spelt gruel!”. Kale brownies. Leave it at home. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope your family is close and happy.
  14. Hang the banner! Whoop!
  15. Fits in well then. Some of them Aggy players appear not to have played football either
  16. Has Johnny Fucking Football shot bar and vomitorium though. Thats worth something. People will live anywhere for millions of dollars. Baton Rouge. Memphis. West Virginia. Starkville. List is long He don’t care as long as that buyout is nice.
  17. Sir Ted Lasso
  18. Actually Thanksgiving was the 28th. They had a LULAC dinner in Houston and flew to Ft Worth and stayed in the Hotel Texas (now the Hilton). Had a chamber of commerce breakfast event and then they flew to love field. In San Antonio day before Kennedy and Johnson had a loud argument in the pres suite because LBJ had not settled the split between Connolly and Ralph Yarborough. That rift was never really mended and that was the early catalyst of the state moving to the GOP a decade later.
  19. Who had the motive? The connections to pull it off? Joe DiMaggio. For both brothers fucking his ex wife then murdering her. How did Peter Lawford survive?
  20. I didn’t see a thread on this. 60 years ago today, I was almost 5. Mom was ironing clothes for us to drive from Ft Smith to Thanksgiving with family in Ft Worth and Oak Cliff. She was watching As the World Turns. This bulletin popped up and then Walter Cronkite came on with the news. A couple days later my cousins and I are watching am cartoons. Program interrupts and it’s Oswald is getting transferred. I watched him get killed on TV eating my Rice Krispies wearing my pajamas. Some conspiracy talk was immediate. He’s alive on a machine in the Parkland basement. but the narrative of a communist nutjob seemed plausible to my parents. My dad was federal leo, a postal inspector. he was a great detective and punched holes in the conspiracies as the years passed.
  21. We finished Bodies last night. It’s different. We enjoyed it. Glad it’s a standalone.
  22. They have some moron Aggie in the social media side of the AD that is spewing these strangely telling stats. “We’re 8-0 against Catholic girls schools!” These usually end up with some post that goes over the top with a bad rehash of a Richard Pryor joke or some outrageous claim.
  23. Wtf is Stephen Johnson syndrome? Maybe he should sepukku himself so it doesn’t spread. He thinks folks hate him because he’s gay. Nope. Everyone hates you because you’re a total piece of shit.
  24. Paynes is the prototype for great pork barbecue. I started eating there when the great Horton Payne was running the pit. Went to school near there and ate there at least once or twice a week for four years. Rendezvous is a tourist trap. You may be murdered at either.
