  1. I think you and I have talked about this before, I grew up about a block away from Playland (my parents still live in the same house), and although it was always Playland for me, there was still "The Field" in between those two old sections of the "Shoal Creek North/Northwest Terrace" neighborhood, where Benbrook and Thrushwood dead-ended. The Field had a lot of trails cut through it, with a lot of built-up bicycle jumps, that we thought were just totally awesome in 1980. It also had a big brushy tree-lined area at the south end where I can only imagine the older kids went and smoked weed.
  2. Didn't get shit, piss, or fuck in NW Travis. The Austin FF farts in this storm's general direction.
  3. Don't Texas my Minneapolis!!!!!
  4. It's been addressed by a couple of posters already, but the answer is-- yes it does happen, depending on the company, or even the position or job code within that company.
  5. That talks about desires, but I didn't see anything about actions. I'm interested in seeing if there are actually any studies of people who have already moved, that would support the assertion that "it's mostly Republicans fleeing Democratic states." And it's not so much "can't afford to live in California" but more like "can buy more for their money" in Texas. I'm an engineer/business guy in high tech in Austin, most of the California transplants I know are tech workers that have relocated, often for the same company but switching from bay area offices, to Texas ones, to make their money stretch further. And like I said, not a one of them would be classified as conservative or Republican.
  6. Could be? Is there a link to back that up? I know lots of Californians that have moved to Texas. Not a single one of them could be described as "Republican."
  7. You're obviously a hoot at parties.
  8. Agree 100%. If you couldn't tell by the wording, I was just having some fun. I think it's okay to poke fun at our own program. I don't take myself or UT sports overly seriously. It's entertainment-- it's supposed to be fun. But I disagree with this 100%. The capability for self-reflection is one of the prime differentiators between Longhorns, and ags. It's a tremendous weakness for them, that they take themselves far too seriously, and are completely incapable of self-reflection.
  9. We've had our own issues, like an assistant coach who got involved with a chubby trainer, Case McCoy's video escapades, and of course Ol Freak Nasty. But at least none of them were murderers.
  10. Banh mi, imo I appreciate the sentiment but good lord, why would anyone subject themselves to some of the worst beer on the planet, when the French make the best wine?
  11. I've liked the Imagine models for years. I don't own one but I tour through the boat and RV show every year and Imagine always have a tighter fit and finish than the majority of competitors.
  12. Such a beautiful era of cars!
  13. pickle talk on the BBQ thread not going away
  14. The all-encompassing-non-Texas-weather thread would be appropriate, but anyway, hope you're staying safe and don't end up in Oz. Unless you want to go to Oz.
  15. Superior is definitely good and has decent happy hour specials including $1.25 oysters.
  16. NWA > NWO
  17. Yup I prefer DST but either way my vote is for sticking to one or the other and not ever changing again.
  18. The Stallion chicken fried steak and yeller gravy. I too have a lot of memories at the Drum and will miss it.
  19. Oh they had that covered right here:
  20. Oh yeah, I'm not asserting that it would matter to anyone other than the ags.
  21. The B1G would gladly accept TAMU for the same reasons the SEC did-- access to Texas recruiting and Texas televisions without bringing in a threat to the established powers of the conference. This rumor is almost certain to be completely false, but it's also plausible, which is why people are still discussing it.
  22. Euro... Brazilian... whatever it takes.
  23. Euros are racist AF. They don't need any external promptings to say racist shit.
