  1. I cannot be enticed, prodded, cajoled, coerced, bribed, besotted, persuaded or baited into talking about politics at family gatherings. If asked, I just say "I learned long ago that nobody wants to listen to my dumbass when it comes to politics." This has the added benefit of making at least some of my interlocutors realize that nobody wants to listen to their dumb asses, either. I am like a calm, placid Buddha who takes in the scene and smiles beatifically.
  2. Fortunately, I have faith in my fellow Surly posters that, by the time next Saturday rolls around, we'll have figured out exactly what's going to happen and, when it does, agree on why it happened, then make cool, rational projections based on that agreement.
  3. That was pretty cold-blooded. I approve heartily.
  4. You animal.
  5. Does this announcer keep saying "The World Famous Ohio State Buckeyes vs. The Michigan Wolverines" or is that just the mushroom tea kicking in?
  6. I wonder what Micah Hudson is thinking tonight?
  7. So .. more time to drink beer. I fail to see the problem.
  8. Decision wasn't bad. Throw was.
  9. Yup. I hate to say it, but you are right.
  10. Watching Nebraska and Iowa try to play football is just so darn cute, you know?
  11. Are you kidding? She's primed, able, and willing ---- so very, very willing.
  12. My favorite? "Iowa = Idiots out wandering around."
  13. Taking a friend to the Austin airport this morning. It's 5:30 a.m. The same lights that take six minutes in rush hour traffic to make one full cycle take six minutes at 5:30 a.m., despite the fact that each light could be only 10 seconds because there are either no cars there or only one. Sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting, burning fuel, insulting the planet, watching my one, little, GRANTED life ebb away just because I'm a law-abiding citizen.
  14. Susan Sarandon made some controversial comments about Gaza/Israel recently and got roasted for them. On Twitter, her son thanked those who have supported her comments and it turned out to be a pretty classic Twitter interaction.
  15. Once you're in the derk-tex you know you never go back.
  16. Texas goes Sergio on Taylor Potts. 38-14 649 yards passing
  17. We will get out to a 27 to 7 lead, inexplicably allow them to score two touchdowns to lead 27 to 21, then they will recover an onside kick, kick a field goal, it will be 27 to 24, Surly will be convulsing with weeping and wailing, then we will score to touchdowns to ice it 41-24. If you will it, it is no dream, dude.
  18. I am glad we are going to the South Eastern conference, where the fans don't complain about the refereeing.
  19. I am writing this from the most remote campground from Guadalupe Mountains national Park, Dog Canyon. No phone reception but I discovered the ranger station has Wi-Fi enabled if you sit right outside it. Butbmy battery on my phone is low. I will have to be very selective as to when I check in. Hook em..
  20. I certainly hope not. I would hate to be associated with somebody who was influenced by the likes of me. Having said that, my last post got 5100 likes, the one before that 3,200 likes etc.. I had one in August that got close to 200,000 likes. Go figure.
