  1. Artillery remains king of the battlefield. Soldiers would rather be shot than shelled.
  2. NGL, those jackets look pretty flash. What, uh, what does one have to do to get fitted for one?
  3. I can't stand it. Jokes like this belong in the trash can, and you are the king of them.
  4. That's awesome, dude! However, you should've started with, "The sea was angry that day, my friends."
  5. Genuinely wonder if she was already on the edge, then caught a glimpse of Carrot Top hanging out in back and noped right out of that flight.
  6. Share the deets. That looks like it had to be one helluva fight. We want gear, flies, technique, and a play-by-play breakdown. Don't skimp on the minutiae, damnit.
  7. I once hired a greenskeeper who behaved like this. It was unbearable. Fortunately, he went on a killing spree one day after misconstruing my instructions and we never heard from him again.
  8. Ah, yes, the ol' carp brisket. Season liberally, smoke directly over a log for several hours, then throw away the carp and eat the log.
  9. Oh, guess I missed all that. Didn't even know how Neyor is, but I now see he's a Wyoming transfer. Guess TheVirginian took it too personally and showed his ass. Shame as he'd been posting here and TOS for many years.
  10. If you ask me, looks like you did help yourself ...
  11. Added ... just cuz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M6jjoHTsrE It really couldn't have ended any other way.
  12. Got dammit. LoL That was SO what I was gonna reply with. Had the pic ready and everything. Oh, fuck it.

    He's got size, speed and effort, but lacks polish (skill, precision, etc.). Dunno if it's too late for that at 19, but I suppose if he's willing to really put in the work, sky's the limit. In other words, would LOVE to see CC move to Europe.
  14. Only if @TheVirginian is heavily invested. (His handle didn't pop up when I tried to @ him, but he's a die-hard Cowboys fan and a good gent.)
  15. Back in the Dark Ages, many of us locals went to Floyd's (Floyd Wilhelm) because it was cheap, near the high school, and the CBOB and barbecued chicken were excellent. They also had sides like fried okra and green beans, and one could drive through and get a family fajita pack for like $10 or a whole barbecued chicken family meal for even less. It was pretty awesome, but probably never up to the standard of pre-schism Kreuz or Black's.
  16. Had to laugh at stopping at Smitty's for crackers. Sad times. Is Floyd's (Chisholm Trail) not even worth a stop anymore?
  17. Growing up, my dad's land had a giant live oak near a spring-fed creek that an arborist estimated was pre-Columbian. Three people could hug it without overlapping, and our cattle would rest under it for shade. I imagine that Kerrville oak was even older. During junior high, Pop gave permission to build a treehouse in its boughs, so long as I didn't drive any nails into the tree or otherwise harm it. He once wished to be buried underneath it. SH 130 and eminent domain forced my dad to sell the property in 2008, and though the structures have been demolished and the 52 acres on which they sat have been bisected by a toll road and its frontages, the highway department at least had the good sense to leave the tree be. Here are some pics of me visiting it one last time, in January 2008, before my parents sold and moved to Johnson City. The three main boughs would make large trees. I guess this outs me as a treehugger. The lone board was all that remained of the treehouse. I'm up there. Can you find me?
  18. Yeah, this is not criticism toward RT, but that is the most uninspiring home non-con schedule I can remember. Probably going to hurt the team's computer metrics. Oh, well.
  19. The least she could've done was identify the snek for us.
  20. Great list. But especially these two. Genuine LoLs here, man. Thanks for sharing.
