  1. Not sure if you all have experienced the same thing I have. The tragedy of the GOP not being willing to move on this is that this issue is one that I've found is one of the only ones where I can have a decent conversation with people who I know who wouldn't vote for a Dem but aren't particularly political. I'm not a gun owner but as a Texan I have to be able to talk about firearms and their necessity in rural areas. And hunting. Of all of the issues where there is room for some non-partisan dialogue, this is it, and it's too bad that our Texas GOP leaders are such scumbags.
  2. I firmly believe that Heller is a disaster of a case and that we should regulate firearms, but my first inclination on seeing this is that we really need to deregulate tacos and focus on more existential things.
  3. I've always discouraged getting rid of prairie dogs on our spread. I've found the holes are an advantage during frontal attacks by the Comanche.
  4. I thought he was going for extreme ugliness.
  5. First time I went to Boston, I visited Bunker Hill. The feral hogs had tore that hill up.
  6. Was sharing a couple of bottles of central coast zin with some of my Stanford buddies and this topic came up. We're all pretty upset about it.
  7. Although caveat - If Abbott comes back with "I've seen a little walking......on TV!" it's all over.
  8. Beto does have a sure fire stratergy if Abbott stumps him. He just goes all Animal Mother and says, "You can talk the talk..."
  9. Yeah, I'm in episode 7 and the biggest beating is 11 not just losing her shit completely and destroying the world already. I'd be fine with that and her taking Steve, the lesbian, Eddie Van Halen and the blond chick who got hit with the roller skates to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Alien territory. Can even have Wynona as chaperone. Certainly thought going down through the portal should have been more beetlejuicy.
  10. Great game. Ukrainians a hearty mix of undisciplined Germans and disciplined Russians? Really going to be hard to root against these guys if they hopefully make it through.
  11. That's not what you implied earlier, when you said Beto should be a non-Maga version of Huffines and hit below the belt. Hitting below the belt is unfair, and Trumpy. Huffines just says stupid shit. If your argument is that Beto should truthfully abuse Abbott more than he is, no issue with that.
  12. Beto isn't going to win any more votes with low brow insults than he will with more nuances and intelligent statements. Beto has a greater chance of winning than he does of out-Trumping Trump.
  13. It reflects critical thought directed at the tension between a 2nd Amendment which has been somewhat erroneously interpreted by the Supreme Court and the tragic violence explained by the sheer abundance of weaponry in the US.
  14. ...at least by surlyites who wear trousers?
  15. So our approach of killing all snakes, no matter their markings, with machetes/garden tools and then claiming they were copperheads is frowned upon?
  16. Like the season so far. Actually enjoy Jonathan Byers more as a confused stoner than a confused non-stoner.
  17. I hope I'm still driving at 82. In Napa after a good meal and a couple of bottles of fermented grape juice.
  18. I thought this was going to be a "normal" PTA but it wasn't, which was great. Hoffman is terrific. Haim was good. Like all the punch drunk love sisters rolled into one. Holy shit, the dude with the Japanese wives scenes... I don't know where it ranks with his others but I was pretty impressed. Unrelated: Reminded me of how the Doors have always tripped over their own dicks. Peace Frog is the greatest fucking song. I mean, 50% of Peace Frog is the greatest fucking song.
