  1. Past hour
  2. I definitely agree with that, but I'd wager a lot of people didn't even give them a chance because of the name. People are stupid. My personal confession: when I first heard their band name, my brain associated it with 'Spoonman' by Soundgarden, and I lazily assumed it was a similar sound.
  3. I don’t think scooter is the best solution to that particular problem.
  4. That is definitely news and definitely the extent of what can be discussed about it in this forum. 👍
  5. I love it when they start playing their idiotic hypothetical game where they win all of the games they've never played. However, it is hysterical when they do it immediately after watching reality make an appearance slap them repeatedly upside the head while they babble. There are multiple people in those threads who are proclaiming the aggies hypothetical victors under numerous other circumstances with less than 24 hours between the post and a full sweep by their arch rival. It's insane.
  6. That's a tall 6 year old.
  7. not a vegetable.
  8. lulz, kind of funny. props to the champs.
  9. We’re a finalist for PJ Haggerty, apparently: Texas, Mississippi, NC Stste, or return to Memphis
  10. Been waiting for this....
  11. Join me as we time travel back to 2025 and Revenge of the Sith brings in $42 million Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 20th anniversary - Box Office Mojo
  12. I didn't listen to Transference very much due to the relatively poor reviews as I didn't want to be disappointed. I think people had lofty expectations after Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, and Britt & Co. decided to throw a curveball with Transference. Listening to it now, I really like the album. This is a fucking jam.

    I asked Britt & Jim about the name once -- they claimed (perhaps in hindsight) it was a riff on "Can" and I believe "Wire". Ultimately, I think a band name starts to disassociate from the meaning of the word. I'm not sure many late-era REM and U2 fans understand the back stories.
  14. I don't drink beer anymore, either. But that reel is amazing. Too bad it's a 4/5 weight.
  15. A few years ago I pitched a couple of school board members that AISD could solve several problems at once by redeveloping AISD properties and even school campuses to offer housing to teachers, staff, city and county employees, and families with children enrolled in AISD schools. The families would get slightly* below market rate rental housing in 3 and 4 bedroom apartment, row home and courtyard bungalow units. The district would get an infusion of young families with kids AND a recruiting and retention tool, and by offering it to other parts of the public sector AISD would strengthen interagency cooperation and open up other potential sources for financing and land. It also makes transportation more efficient, Austin would get some missing middle housing, etc. Because, you see, AISD’s biggest problem is a mismatch between the places where the schools are (Austin) and the places where young families and teachers can afford to live (suburbs). Anyway, one nonsensically said it seemed like “a cash grab for developers.” The other said “the neighborhood groups will burn me at the stake if I suggested something like this.” *not subsidized or offered through rental assistance, just priced a little cheaper.
  16. Note to self. Begin every candidate interview with - "Did you participate in J6?" "Yes? Thank you for your time. Not validating your parking pass."

    How did I miss this terrible post? Stellan Skargard has been spectacular throughout this series.
  18. So are dead legs.
  19. I love when aggys get so desperate they start to lie about their personal lives. Wood still PIIHB tho.
  20. That's some real penthouse to outhouse stuff right there.
  21. Duplantier threw some meaty pitches up there that inning. Pure BP stuff.
  22. Probably takes a lot of drinks for a big ol fucker like him to get drunk. Walk/ uber hell take a scooter.
  23. You want to include fruit under vegetables, ok with me. "Fruit" has seed, rest of the plant is non-fruit, but all vege. I wouldn't call a mushroom a plant, although it's a fruit of a fungus, so there's that.
