  1. Lots of talking. Need more eating. Burnt Bean. Brisket, El Cinco sausage (poblanos and pepper jack cheese) and a bowl of smoked chicken tortilla soup. Owner was stoked I ordered the soup. Lunch was fantastic. Fuck the cockroaches, hook ‘em! [emoji1598]
  2. I support this message, but with a correction: Butters is in Sinton (moved from Mathis maybe a year ago?).
  3. Do I get a trophy? Or maybe a handjob?
  4. Butter’s in Sinton. Depending on your route, you could hit Burnt Bean in Seguin or Reese Bros in SA. I’m just some dipshit on the internet, but those three places are in my personal top 10.
  5. I have not been in a fight since adulthood. As a teenager had a few scraps where I came out on top. I started training BJJ in 2006 and since then I really try to avoid physical altercations. Not claiming my hands need to be registered as lethal weapons hahaha, but one of the best things you learn is to try and avoid a fight.
  6. Do you want to die? I’m trying to forget that shit. Goddamnit.
  7. I know there are some recruiters on this forum, and no offense meant, but most of my experiences with them have been bad. And they need to stop with the cold emails/calls that offer next to no valuable information, especially salary range. The other is the lack of understanding how large certain cities are. Great, the job is in Houston, but where in Houston because this bitch can take 1.5 hours to cross in traffic. I’m not trying to work in Baytown and live in Cypress. Mac, I truly hope you find something soon. If not, let’s start a crime syndicate.
  8. Haha well, he was obviously functional. The guy that was promoted to manage the business unit ultimately got demoted and sent back to the refinery. He was a sooner, so that sounds about right.
  9. I worked for Motiva for about 15 months. Holy shit, what a disfunctional group. But this was several years ago. They cleaned house and I survived as a contractor. Some funny stories from that time. Like the team building in New Orleans and one of the managers, probably 65 years old and married, decided to stash his condoms in the projector bag. Like 10 condoms.
  10. Let’s go motherfuckers. 4 hours left in my work week. My body is ready. Let’s fuck these cockroaches up.
  11. Ever buy any scales from this guy in Germany? I love to just look at his gallery. https://cuscadi.de I bought one for a grip and one for a PM II. I found out that I love how micarta looks when new, but not how dirty looking it becomes if you handle the knife a lot. All the oils in the hands. It’s a shame because they were very high quality.
  12. I have never eaten at Golden Corral. And it’s been 20 years since I have had Taco Bell. Adding that to my resume.
  13. I have a Kizer mini roach that I really like. But it’s a tiny bit tacticool for edc I think. It’s a hell of a slicer though and fun to fidget with. My understanding is Kizer makes the OKnife.
  14. I have one and agree. Also feel like the handle length is a bit much for EDC. My favorite Spyderco is the Sage I in tatanium. It’s an excellent EDC, but not $100.
  15. Also, what are your requirements for EDC? I can be pretty picky about certain features, like a deep carry clip. If a knife doesn’t have a true deep carry clip or can easily swap it the clip for one, I won’t buy it. I also think that an EDC blade (especially since I work in an office) should be 2.5-3.25”. I also don’t like when a knife looks like it was designed to be sold in a gas station.
  16. WE Knife Banter (look a few posts above). It’s $108 but you can find discounts. Petrified Fish Mini Beluga OKnife Rabato 3 CJRB Pyrite (I don’t think I like button locks, but this is a clean design and functional). That’s a good start. I do like my Kubey knives, but they are kind of heavy.
  17. I’m jealous. I wish I didn’t have a reason to be in Houston anymore either. I still love Tejas. I had it about a month or so ago. Felt weird, no line and didn’t recognize any of the employees. They have slid into 3rd place for me in the metro area.
  18. I was curious so I went back and tried to see where I had eaten most in 2017. Definitely Pinkerton’s (at least 6 times) then Tejas (5 times). Then a bunch of 1 or 2 visit places throughout the state. Quite different than today. I do like pit room though. Just rarely go.
  19. Typically it seems that certain brands love to combine the made in USA with better materials. Naturally that will drive the price up a bit. However, it seems like several Chinese brands are using the exact factories, and apparently in recent years, similar QA/QC standards. Lube makes a titanium with 14C28N steel for $100 (shipped). You take that same knife and throw a benchmade logo on it and it would be $175 if not more. I would say the last 10 Chinese, budget friendly knives I have bought have been very well made and built.
  20. With the quality coming out of China, it’s getting harder to justify those prices. I know it’s likely a USA made knife, but that is t a sticking point for me.
