South Oak Cliff vs. Liberty Hill HS Championship Game
Really cool to see this and the OC community rally around these kids. I can’t verify this, but from I have read all the players do well academically too as the coaching staff takes a whole life approach. The poise of that QB was something to see. I didn’t see him panic and he made a lot of terrific decisions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Golden Corral, Pancho's and Other Low-Brow Eateries of Your Youth
As a kid, Bonanza and Pancho's were amazing. A couple of years ago, we tracked down a Pancho's in Forth Worth, and I took my parents and sister there. Just like old times. The experience and the tastes were exactly as they had been 40 years ago. Those chiles rellenos! My freshman year in college, a group of guys on our floor had a Friday night free and decided to go to Steak and Ale. We did our best to dress up and act like grown ups. It cost us what we thought was a fortune. Looking back, it was so goofy, but I remember that night so clearly. It's a happy memory. I wonder where those guys all are now.

Storming The Field
We sorta stormed the field for the first of Gardere's wins over OU. We hadn't beaten them for a while, if I recall correctly. We were on the first row, so it easy.

Dinner Party Ideas
Marinade a large boneless, butterflied rack of lamb overnight in plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and rosemary (salt and pepper to taste). When you ready, wipe off most of the yogurt. It'll be ready to throw over fire, or a grill or just in the oven. Because it is boneless and butterflied, it won't take too long to cook. At dinner, carve and serve with an easy tzatziki, warm pita, maybe a tomato salad, roasted potatoes or whatever turns you on. Elegant, easy and different. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/grilled-leg-of-lamb-recipe-1940278

Best way to get a dog?
Great news. She is beauty! As she gets confident, she will get a bit rambunctious, but it looks like she is off to a great start. The rescue group should provide training tips if anything comes up. @Updawg is right: walks, exercise and socializing. Think about a day care visit once or twice a week. They come home exhausted and happy from a day of play.

Colleyville may be a little bit of a racist place
The picture incident was just one symptom of a much bigger issue in Colleyville and suburbs and towns like it. Probably not a discussion for this board. black-principal-on-leave-as-anti-critical-race-theory-law-takes-effect

After these very public and entirely shameless events, they might as well put out a sign at all the entrances to the town.

Yes, the stock is taxed as compensation as it is delivered (when it vests).

Relocating Abroad
This only applies in certain areas near the shoreline (beach property) and along the border. In the interior, you can own in the equivalent of fee simple, with all the same ownership rights of Mexican nationals. The trust for properties in the restricted zones are for 50 years, I think.

Best way to get a dog?
My advice: find a rescue (even a breed specific rescue if breed is essential) with a good fostering program. You can learn about the dog from his fostering experience (good with kids, good with cats, can't be left alone, needs lots of exercise, etc.)

Airplane Etiquette Thread
This is not to assign blame to the airlines or the crew, but I do think they could do one little thing better that may help. On AA, the flight attendants come on and say things like "help us comply with the federal mask mandate" or "we ask that you keep your mask on....", with a reference to FAA rules. On one flight, the FA actually said "we don't like it any more than you do". It's a very soft approach to communicating this particular requirement. I think the pilot should come on right before the door closes (or the purser if there is no time in the pilot's pre-flight routine). He or she should say something to the effect that everyone is required to comply with crew instructions, including the mask requirement which is intended to keep everyone sage and healthy. If you don't comply with crew instructions, you will be reported to the FAA and be subject to fines. We may return to the gate, divert the flight or have the flight met by law enforcement officials. If you interfere with the crew or behave inappropriate with your fellow passengers, you may also be subject to criminal charges. You will be banned from flying with us ever again, lose any frequent flying miles you may have and lose all elite status on this airline. If you don't intent to comply with crew instructions or intend to play games with us like sipping on your water to keep your mask off, you must get off the plane now. This is your last chance. Are we clear?"

Rebranding Canton Hall too. I admit to only being there for a few shows and nothing memorable, so perhaps I don't have the emotional attachment to the name, but social media is freaking out about a private business rebranding to suit whatever its business needs may be.

Airplane Etiquette Thread
I don't believe that will work, but it may depend on the airline. American Airlines expressly states, even in the announcements, that gaiters, buffs and bandanas are not acceptable. They have regular masks for you if that's all you have. The announcement does refer to them as "douchey bro buffs". Makes me laugh every time.

Best Airline Premium Cabin/Product
The Q-Suite and on-demand dining, makes Qatar my choice (when I have one) out of Dallas to India. It's amazing. That being said, I am perfectly fine in the AA business class pod. I don't care how "fancy" service can be, business class in traditional seats with a configuration that is not all aisle access is a loser (looking at you Emirates)

It's definitely a thing, especially entitled parents who don't plan ahead.

It was perfect. I went to the vineyard in May and they told me the Alex 97’s were looking to be solid until ‘25. But I thought it was time. And it was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tipping at an All-Inclusive
The first day $20 does not only apply to bartenders, but to the pool and beach concierges too. They will find good chairs, umbrellas, and set you up, bring you water, etc. Everyone else is standing around and hoping to find a chair in the back.

Start with $20s for the pool and beach concierge and the first round of the server. They will take care of you.

Inherited Family Food Quirks
Flour tortilla with a hot dog and a stick of celery. Still a fun snack for me.
