  1. While we are at it … @Armybrat’s first game at memorial stadium…
  2. My dad gave it to me gratuitously, he was the guy giving the vaccinations to service members being deployed I sat in the chair hanging out for the whole day. He asked if I wanted one, I said sure (because I was bored to hell and all these grown ass men were getting them so why shouldn’t I)? I guess it was harmless but Jesus johnny, why the fuck are you giving a small pox vaccine to a 3rd or 4th grader in 1983?
  3. Well and the club is supposed to be an escape. These days it’s too stark to miss it all but people are still polite. It makes for easier golf, tennis, happy hours, bridge for the old ladies, poker for the dudes, you name it. Maybe it shouldn’t be that way, but most of us don’t want to get riled up unless our opponent is calling the lines out. i generally abide by those rules but as soon as I know someone is liberal all bets are off, I’ll rail on the fuckstain republicans with glee.

    LBGTQ

    Read an article where Equality Texas stated there are about 100,000 trans folk in Texas. No wonder it’s the Republicans number 1 issue. 0.33% of the population MUST be dealt with.
  5. Not a season goes by and I don’t miss his post game waxing zen and philosophical about how baseball is a metaphor for life.
  6. My folks sat in the option seats in 103 second row. I roamed the knot hole seats and we agreed to meet up at the gate with the giant seal after the game. It was the best of times.
  7. Truck is fixed, transmission pump failed. Replaced that and all the seals and gaskets around the transmission but that’s it. Serviced the transmission and put it back in place and it’s running well. Still not a cheap repair, about $2k with parts and labor. That’s $17k into this thing in the last 3-4 months. About all that’s left is the AC and fuel and water pumps. I’m pretty sure most everything else has been replaced since 2020.
  8. I fucking love south Texas / coastal bend area. Damn.
  9. On our way home stopped in Victoria for some Mexican food, forgot to take a proper pic but I demolished the enchiladas tampaquenias with steak asada. Las Tapatias gets 5 stars…
  10. long before that (early 1980s) they were simply called "knot-hole" tickets and had no corporate sponsor. as a kid we would roam the south endzone seats with our friends (seats were 20% occupied except A&M). a few bucks for a ticket, a few bucks for a hot dog and damn we were living large.
  11. fair enough, my first comment was it isn't long term. 7-10 yrs is long term in my view.
  12. in the life cycle of a business that was possibly founded 15 years prior it sure is short term.
  13. 3-5 years is longer than the public company quarterly cycle but it's not long term.
  14. He thought he was this... in reality he was this...
  15. because he bought his three piece suit at JCPenny's on layaway and acted like he was a baller. if he was a baller it would be okay even if a little pretentious.
  16. difference is my dad thought he was a baller. he also loved three piece suits and lifting his pinky when he drank a martini.
  17. Where is the my dog is not awesome thread? This designer mutt has some stank oozing out of his butthole tonight in tight quarters in a fifth wheel. Jesus Jaxy…
  18. Texas absolutely has the talent to be a sweet sixteen team this season. That’s how atrocious the coaching has been this year.
  19. and has his home life on auto pilot / cruise control
  20. It’ll be sound basketball too.
  21. It’s the greatest game Sean miller has been a part of
  22. Up the whole first half and up more than half the second half and lose
