  1. Hilberts on Lamar used to be my go-to place for a fix before they sold to P. T.'s, they relocated around the corner (38th) and eventually closed. I was sad, until we moved to Mineral Wells, now I find myself going to Herd's whenever I get the itch. Upgrading is sooo hard!
  2. Heavy bastard.
  3. Suriously - I've got a ton of things that I'm thankful for, but the one I'm calling out now is for this site and y'all here. Hope each and everyone of you assholes has a great Turkey Day, and God Bless Texas!
  4. Picks up immediately after Enchanters End Game and goes on. Then there are two following tomes on Belgarath and Polgara respectively. Castle of Wizardry was prolly my favorite book out of all of them.
  5. Lamesa Mule. Lung shot with a 25-06 and then led us on a chase across scrub and cotton fields. Happy Movember y'all.
  6. Draw a line on 281 from Johnson City to Burnet. Look up and down that entire area on Zillow or Trulia (you'll find it's most expensive around Marble Falls). If you live closer to either JC or Burnet you'll find the highways are straight shots into the metro area, property values are reasonable and they still have the small town, country folk, feel to them. Really good hunting and fishing along that whole line as well. Thank you for your service to our country!
  7. Somewhere Hugo is crying to himself on why he's not considered the coolest kid on the playground.
  8. Right up there with Thujone's posts on Bob Stoops' phallic addicktions.
  9. Huzzah!
  10. Say what you will about Enzo - that crusty old bastard inspired a hell of a lot of amazing cars, even when he was acting like a selfish prick. Think about it, not just his own name brand but the Fords and Lamborghinis. Fuck yeah I'm seeing this, even the wife is stoked about seeing it.
  11. Holy shit - those were the exact same years I went. OP - it's the only game that competes with the Shootout, except it's a completely different flavor of football (stamina over speed). Do not, under any circumstances, leave until the Alma Maters have been sung - it's the final stamp of the final game of every college football regular season for a reason. Shit, this room gets dusty just thinking about it.
  12. "What starts here" campaign needs to fucking end.
  13. Go to the Scribner museum on Camp Mabry - you'll learn the majority of personnel who build the real bridge were captured Texas National Guardsmen - yes the senior officers were British but the labor came mostly from men from Texas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Battalion_(Pacific,_World_War_II)
  14. Well then allow me to politely respond - I see athletes on the field but I sure as shit don't see any fucking coaching. Care to provide a witty repartee?
  15. Well, here goes silent me: I see athletes on the field, but I sure as shit don't see coaching.
  16. The burnt ends burrito was pretty good, not great, but damn did it not burp well at all.
  17. It was a beat down on the ass clown (Herman).
  18. 100% a coaching loss today.
  19. This was a coaching loss.
  20. Coaching loss, and who gives a fuck what I think?
  21. Run the fucking ball between the tackles until the box loosens up.
  22. 4wd by itself isn't a panacea. Tires by themselves aren't a solution. It's the combination of having 4wd, good (deep lug) snow tires (perhaps studs) and knowing when to stay the fuck off the roads. If you have little to no skill driving in icy conditions be cautious - gain experience over time to become familiar with how the adverse road conditions affect the vehicle and build confidence. In the meantime, having good snow tires is mandated by law (usually) and 4wd helps on top of that. The cultural norm in areas with heavy winter weather is to have a second set of wheels/tires for winter - it's a necessary safety investment. Additionally, if you cannot/will not invest in a 4wd - fwd behaves significantly better on ice that rwd.
