  1. And what he really means is "time to just raise other people's money"
  2. This made me LOL. I think it's because 95% of Surly would have made a similar observation
  3. Chester always had time to sit with customers and tell a dirty joke or three. I spent more nights there than I'd like to admit between 1997-2001. One of my best friends was a waitress there and, by extension, I was friends with every waitress. I think every girl in that group of friends waited tables on occasion because it was a good, but hard earned, $100-$120 per night in tips. And free fried mushrooms for me. I lived with my cousin at the time, and one time we were there, and the Back Page Austin Chronicle hooker he ordered the night before was there with a guy. We both recognized her immediately and she shot us the "don't say a fucking word" look immediately. Always wondered if she had a boyfriend or husband and the guy had no idea. Took my dad there one time he came into town shortly after I turned 21. We walked in, and all the waitresses rushed to give me a hug and brought us a bucket of Miller Lite without me asking, which was my standard at the time. Dad: "How are your grades this semester?" Me: "Well, I'm learning a lot." Dad: "I can imagine."
  4. If you've never had boquerones, don't think of them as anchovies as you probably know. They aren't heavily salted and don't have an extreme fish taste. It's a completely different experience.
  5. Where did you get the boquerones? I fucking love those with just some olive oil and a touch of salt.
  6. Always cracked me up they snuck the Donger in there as a tourist.
  7. $100 AUD or USD? Also, the cheap birds in the US are garbage. Bread to get as fat as possible, as quickly as possible, with as much white meat as possible. Thus they are tasteless. And injected with a solution and then frozen. If that's what you're paying $100, AUD or USD, I'd switch to something else. Kangaroo burgers anyone?
  8. Rarely do you get a chance to look into to a crystal ball, but here we are. Wiler77 in year 2042. That must be my littlest's wedding. It'll be "Whole Lotta Rosie" for the middle boy.
  9. I wonder if Jimbo is Boomhauer in 1:1 settings? Because I can't fathom how that guys connects with youth of today, or how a group of grown men spend 5 minutes in his presence and this is the outcome
  10. Not sure what the fuss is. When texas is the favorite, take the points. I'm pissed we're losing, but I'm winning money on it.
  11. 2 boys, aged 6 and 8. Wife is out of town with the 11 year old. It's 8:50pm...time to settle in for some email and powerpoint.
  12. I feel like the ship is sinking, and the wife has only been out of town for 24 hours. Up at 545am to have 20 minutes to myself before getting the kids up. Drop off/pick up from school because our carpool partner is unable to for 3 days. Slammed at work. Get kids fed early because we have to be at soccer fields at 6pm 2 nights in a row. Get them cleaned up quickly so they are in bed shortly after 8pm. Put in another 1-1.5hrs of work because of everything I missed taking care of the family. Rinse and fucking repeat. Holy shit. So to all the single parents out there that have to do this day in and day out...
  13. There is a book series called "Henry and Mudge" about a boy and his adventures with his dog. They are really great for early readers. Anyway, you own Mudge
  14. This country deserves what it fucking gets.
  15. Well this makes me sad. Had many a baseball/basketball/soccer team party at PO's. Granted this was 35 years ago, but I guess I assumed it would be around forever. My sister lives close to it now, and I thought as of 5 years ago it was still around. Did it close recently?
  16. Big "hell yes" to this one. I went to a game in Tokyo that was the team that doesn't play in the Tokyo Dome. Was an outdoor stadium the size of a minor league park, which is to say there wasn't a bad seat in the house. And the stadium food was insanely good. Went to a craft beer place afterwards for beer and snacks, which in Tokyo is like having a 5 star food experience.
  17. I put $30 on KSt +2.5. Paying $30 for the Texas win was worth it. May have to up this week to $50 on TCU +6.5. Texas beating them by a TD would be worth it.
  18. When you say grandparents are backup, do you mean they're traveling with you? If so, whats the point? They will be more comfortable at their own house, you and your wife will be able to disconnect, and everyone will be happier. Oh, and someone doesn't have to shell out money for airfare and hotel for what amounts to babysitters.
  19. The fact that i knew you in another life, many moons ago, makes me enjoy your posts so much more than I should. I have no idea who you are referring to, but I definitely think "yep, I believe that." You're a fucking treasure. Btw, my mom brought over a bunch of my childhood items she's kept through the years, and included is every homeroom class picture from elementary school. We were in a few homerooms together, and I've considered posting a picture and playing "name that poster."
  20. Is Jamison projected to get drafted? Because after today he won't be. Good grief.
  21. How the fuck does that average out to 4th? I love those national ranks. The 100 year Aggy plan...year 10 update--on par with a directional Florida degree factory. Well. Fucking. Done.
