    At his best Meyers is a 4 OF. Given the many holes in the lineup, he's not what this team needs. They need an AS level bat in CF, because they overestimated the production from Gurriel and Bregman.

    It would be awesome to have a 5-tool player in CF but I think because of MMP it's more important to prioritize outfield D; you need range, range and more range, or your team ERA swells by a full run.

    Make up for lost O with a platoon-mate for Gurriel or at DH.

  2. SIAP but I think the shitty police response is more a red herring than anything else and worse, it will be used by the NRA types as their newest excuse. "We need more and better police with more tactical weapons."

    I mean it would have been cool if they kicked down the doors and took the kid out, but it seems like he'd already done his worst by then. Still, "fuck the police," but beware this as the new trend in gun nut excuses.

    Wasn’t he an actual Recon Marine playing himself in the show? Pretty badass. 

    So was Godfather's aide-de-camp, Major Todd Eckloff, who was played by Benjamin Busch, who had a lower rank but did two tours. Busch also played a meathead detective in The Wire and is an acclaimed author and photographer.

    Sixta's accent was just too ridiculous. I grew up bouncing back and forth between Tennessee and Texas and I never heard anything like it anywhere. And he's a diddler too so fuck both the actor and the character.

     

     

  4. Figured this show has earned its way into deserving its own thread and I didn't find one.

    Best: Kind of obvious. Fick, Iceman, Elvis for comic relief.

    Worst: There are some shitty characters on this show but I believe Casey Kasem is the worst by far.  Encino Man is a moron and Captain America is a little bitch but that dude is a conniving little asshole.

    What's funny about this, is that it is widely accepted that deep dish pizza was created and first sold by native Texan and all-american offensive lineman for the University of Texas Longhorns, Ike Sewell. 

    But now they seek revenge

  6. The "plot" of one of their current radio ads is telling. A guy at the drive-thru is paralyzed by burger dilemma. We've all been there, esp at Whataburger. The narrator persuades him to try this North Carolina abomination of a burger and the dude eats it and falls in love with it and says "It's like you really know me" to the narrator / Chicago assholes who are stealing our souls.

    I mean look at what they are getting rid of and what they are bringing in: spicy biscuits and breakfast taquitos out, sugary cole slaw laden burgers in. Don't fall for it. Boycott. Deguello.

    Some of the anonymous posts seem to have pretty thorough details.  I hope justice is served one way or another.

    Yeah some details in the arrest affidavit don't make sense. Supposedly these dudes got all rapey on the walk home and the girls were fighting them off. Then they walk through a room where at least one roommate is up and around and don't say anything and go in a bedroom and close the door? Without alerting that roommate they'd been getting pawed / fondled / whatever all the way home?

    Dude......Ashley has had kind of a non-stop series of "totally fuck with your head" moments and events.  I really feel sorry for her.  Just a rough freaking path.

    If you listen to the Cocaine and Rhinestones podcast episode (maybe more than one) on the Judds, Naomi comes across as a pyscho cunt of the highest order and it's kind of amazing Wynonna wasn't the one to blow her brains out first. Or Ashley. Just an evil, evil bitch.

    “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

    LBJ knew.

    And the magnificent bastard was also cynical enough to realize that he needed to make ringworm-ridden tow-headed Appalachian tots the poster children for his War on Poverty.

    Couching it as a racial issue plays into he hands of the billionaires and is the surest way to see that nothing is ever done about it.

  10. Yep they are trying to streamline it with Southern tastes and some of y'all are falling for it. It will be a second-rate version of Cookout before y'all know it. And I like Cookout, f I am in Mississippi or points east.

    HEB needs to buy the Texas locations of Whataburger and save it.

  11. SIAP but this is how late stage capitalism works.

    1. China and SE Asia and South Asia are the deepest pool of dirt-cheap labor combined with a certain level of manufacturing right now.

    2. However it costs a lot of money to ship the goods across the planet on fuel-guzzling container ships.

    3. Sooo....you break down American workers. Make them more like Chinese workers. Present trends are moving in the other direction but that is the dream they share when the billionaires break out the cigars and dream of a better world.

    If you've ever dropped your kids off at Camp Ozark, you've probably been here.

    Holy shit -- I might be the only Texan to have eaten there with his young daughter who was not on his way to or from Ozark. Seconded -- good stuff.

    My favorite burger ever (original location just north of 610 on Westheimer.  Not a stand, but a tiny place in a strip center (menu with the 281 area code is from a later iteration I wish I'd known about).

    Wound up becoming dildo emporium Zone D'Erotica, embarrassing the mighty Galleria for decades.

  14. It all comes back to a sense of overall dissatisfaction. It is now official -- most people in greater Houston -- not the city itself, but the city and many shitty enclaves, can no longer afford to live there. Either the rent is too damn high or the wages are too damn low or both. One or both of those items needs to be addressed real soon or this country is going to be even more of a shitshow than it has of late.

    I mean, yeah, $20/hour probably is too much to pay a Subway employee, but when that doesn't cover rent, what good is it?

  15. Anyone know of any? They used to be in every small town right by the highway -- basically a burger joint with maybe a picnic table or two but no real seating. Mom and pops. I guess Sonic killed most of them off.

    There are a couple in Houston still, like Someburger and Poppa Burger, which barely qualifies because it has so many picnic tables.
