    Incredible. Notice the phrasing too, he said that he "flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon". If you are sympathetic to Ted (and an idiot) you read that like the plan was always for him to return as quickly as possible today. Simply escorting his poor family to their much needed vacation!

    He won't correct that reading when it's used by his allies but he can't be called a liar with it's easily proved that his vacation plan was for a week and he quickly bought a return ticket once he was busted. 

    Not to mention Heidi is in the fucking photos.  It doesn't take 2 parents to fly their kids to Cancun.  It was a family vacation. 

    Fucking fat ass lying jackass.

  2. I'd go ahead and assume the KSU game on Sunday will be postponed since campus is closed until Monday morning.  

    Just to add it all up:

    • MBB - 3 games likely postponed this week alone (@ OU, @ ISU and WV for Saturday likely won't happen)
    • WBB - 2 games likely postponed this week (@ TCU, KSU)
    • Softball - 10 games cancelled (opening season tournament, @ UNT, tournament in Frisco)
    • Men's Tennis - matches @ Rice and @ Tulane postponed
    • Women's Tennis - home matches against Rice and #18 UCF postponed
    • Baseball - hasn't practiced since last Saturday

    That pretty much describes all the other quality of life improvements beyond special-ed not being capped at 7% of students that we've experienced with our move from Texas to Colorado.

    The regurgitated belief in Texas exceptionalism is a lot like the more broadly regurgitated belief in American exceptionalism.  There's a reason why "Don't mess with Texas!" was a brilliant anti-littering marketing campaign, and it's not because the majority of the people living there have no pride in where they come from.  And it is fine to have pride in Texas.  But a blind pride ignoring mounting evidence to the contrary is just another form of willful ignorance that we see being pushed and consumed in mass quantities among conservatives.

    It's everyone's prerogative if they want to believe that Texas is somehow special and immune to decay if not properly cared for, but the idea of Texas as a post-industrial promised land does not align with my family's experience there.

    I'll always love Texas, but Texas needs to work on itself.

  4. Seeing as no one posted anything - the UNT game has been postponed and this weekend's tournament is cancelled. 

    Texas has lost its first 10 games of the season to weather.  That's normally a fucking B1G problem. 

    I GUESS we'll be opening the season against Sam Houston on February 26 for the Lone Star Invitational with Sam, Lamar, Miss St., UConn and Ole Miss.

    I'd put it at 50/50

    And honestly we could probably use it given that we haven't practiced since Monday.

    And it's in Austin, right? Don't see the sense in WV flying into Austin given my understanding of conditions on the ground there.

    Yeah, it is in Austin.  When they said campus was closed yesterday, I figured that would be the impetus to postponing it - not sure what the Big 12 is waiting for.  WV shouldn't even want to fly into town right now.  

    We can't practice because campus is closed.  We have student athletes going to hotels because their apartments don't have power/water.  Neither the men nor women's team could travel for their games, and softball had to call off their game too because they couldn't travel.

    You should have seen Iran in the 70s. Pretty girls in go go boots and short dresses. 70 rials = $1 unlike 230,000 to $1 currently. Lots of Americans, cheap domestic labor and good places to drink. It was pretty close to being heaven until it went to shit.  

    Ugh visiting pre-Shah Iran would be a top 5 "if you could travel back in time" destination.   Just to experience it.

    You are right, I have been struggling to reconcile my cowardice for abandoning the great state of Texas.  I read your post, and it really hit me.  I've been on the verge of tears, screaming, begging for Texas' forgiveness.  I WAS WRONG, TEXAS!  PLEASE, TAKE ME BACK!  I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE!!!  YOU ARE ALMOST PURPLE!

    Then my joyous and no-longer despondent children returned from a school that can be bothered to educate them to a warm home powered by a functional power grid, and I cheered up.

    You may go to hell, I've gone to Colorado :D

    Lmao. I love this post so much. 

    Oh no, I also left Texas and went to Colorado, to make more money, have a better quality of life, weed on demand, good public transportation, access to beautiful national parks and mountains and hikes and not deal with fucking Texas Republicans while having actual representation in DC that listens and cares.  Woe is my life!

    What’s even more insane about this post is that most of these refugees that come from socialist third world countries are the most capitalistic people in this country.  They are totally against socialism and want the opportunity to work and make money or build their own small business.  The most socialist people in this country are dumb white red necks who want their Medicaid but are too stupid to understand that what they want is actually socialism.

    That's excellent since I skipped the WiiU entirely.  I believe the reviews were pretty mixed on Skyward Sword though if I'm not mistaken.

    It was originally released on the Wii - people didn't love the motion controls of the Wiimote, because most of them weren't doing it right. 

    Nintendo said they will have 2 options for the Switch version - using the joycons with motion control or you'll be able to use the joycons docked or a pro controller  and you'll use the left and right sticks to control the sword/shield. 

    Personally, I loved the story and that game had some of the most creative dungeons, but it is frustratingly linear and your companion holds your hand a bit, compared to BOTW.  Hopefully they made SOME tweaks, such as when you discovered an item, it would tell you all about the item each game session.  It didn't seem to register that you had encountered it playing 2 days ago. 

    Yeah, it's $60 and there will be (separately) pretty cool Zelda-themed joycons (perfect timing, as I need new joycons but my pro controller is sufficing for most of my docked play).  I think this is the tip of the Zelda 35th anniversary, as the Direct yesterday didn't really hit on anything for the 2nd half of 2021 and they've re-trademarked Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask and Windwaker, so maybe there will be an anniversary pack like they did for Mario.
