  1. "Only a non-white would start such racist dialogue, thus necessitating an equally racist response." -Stassney
  2. Who are Surlyites voting for in a Crockett vs. Talarico primary? I love Crockett, but lean toward Talarico having a better, albeit small, chance of winning a general. I may also be biased by living in R² and my wife being a huge fan of his, so curious what others think.
  3. That sucks, Brisket. Good luck. My recent shitty driver story is someone passed me on the right in a parking lot as I was attempting to turn into a parking spot.
  4. There's a fucking horde of Apostolic Christians in western Minnesota who share my last name that will certainly vote for this man if he is the R candidate. Simple farmers, common clay of the new west kind of people.
  5. I'm not sure how they are at Ivy League Football, but those guys are the Walter Camp of American birding. Revolutionized the game. Respect.
  6. The 14 month-old joins the 3 year-old at daycare next week, as I get ready to return to work at the end of the month. End of an era. It's been great spending so much time with the boys, but I am looking forward to interacting more with fully grow humans. When they are both home on Tuesday and Thursday I'm fighting for my life. Especially if the weather is shit. And while they have not walked in on us, the baby has impeccable timing with cries from his crib.
  7. I ended up taking the job with my old boss. My wife should be able to tweak her schedule to get the kids to and from daycare. I'll be leaving home around 3:30 AM on Tuesday and returning around 9:00 PM on Wednesday for the next 6 months. At that point, my full privileges should be reinstated. If I survive that many hours on I-35 at night, that is.
  8. Expected margin of victory for Van Epps slowly growing on NYT. Around 4 now.
  9. Definitely an eastern phoebe. They're pretty common in central Texas and have very typical flycatcher behavior.
  10. Watching LSU vs OU is a painful experience. I don't recommend it.
  11. Why does Pitt beating Miami matter? ACC is only getting 1 in regardless.
  12. He is message board Collin Robinson. Don't feed him.
  13. Bomb the low-level guys. Pardon the kingpins. Sounds like a winning strategy. I'm sure our CR-phobes are up in arms over this! /s
  14. I survived my family Thanksgiving last weekend, brief as it was. Made sure to make some time with my sister and BIL on the patio to talk some shit with like-minded individuals, but left the politics away from the dinner table this time. My wife did have a sit-down with my mom the day before to talk about how they can get along better outside of politics. My mother did go out of her way to point out how centrist is she is (she has voted for Trump 3 times, so still waiting on a "centrist" D, I guess). She also mentioned that she is pro-LGB, just not the T, and said that Charlie Kirk, who I am all but certain she was unaware of until his death, was a great guy. Someone mentioned a while ago that they are treating their MAGA relationships in a completely transactional way. I'll take the free babysitting, while occasionally letting them know their beliefs are abhorrent. They appear to be a completely lost cause, so we will just not have a close relationship for the foreseeable future. The next few days will be spent with my wife's family, which ranges from politically apathetic to somewhat liberal. An improvement at least.
  15. "Memory lane" used very loosely. The late 00's were a great time for a college drinker. Craft beer was taking off. You could drink things that tasted good and were greater than 6.0%, unlike fucking bud ice. Or you could spend $6 and either have a great night or ruin your life by getting Ocho loko. We threw some pretty solid ragers senior year, where in addition to the keg and lone star, we'd get a case of Loko and curate a list of the most fun people to give it to. It did lead to two shattered ovens (well, the same oven shattered twice), but that's the price you pay when you dance with the devil.
