  1. Valentina's moving to Buda. https://www.austin360.com/story/lifestyle/food/2021/05/10/valentinas-austin-bbq-restaurant-tex-mex-moving-downtown-buda/5020040001/ This pleases me greatly.
  2. This reminds me that I miss Samantha Brown. I know she isn't a WTF? qualifier but there you go.
  3. This right here. I have always been proud of my spelling ability but these are among a few words that always give me trubble now.
  4. Went to the local Dollar General to pick up some AA batteries. It recently re-opened following an arson attempt. I asked the checkout lady if they had done anything to the dumbass teenager that set the fire. She gave me an icy stare and said her son was innocent until proven guilty. https://www.hillsborofreepress.com/news/front-page/arson-shuts-down-hillsboro-dollar-general-for-short-time
  5. Angel Hernandez had a bad night. Shocking, I know.
  6. Interesting that most of the men are bearded.
  7. Absolutely this. I hate cold call visits or you stopping by to see how we are. I'm not your fucking friend. I buy shit from you and I will let you know when I need more shit. And you wear too much cologne, fucker.
  8. Industrial Revolution for me
  9. Go to any Maine beach between Memorial day and Labor Day, then report back.
  10. Can you imagine the first people to discover harmony, sitting around the fire singing barbershop quartet tunes?
  11. It requires an Athletic subscription but you should already have one. @Asithappens https://theathletic.com/2542210/2021/04/28/joe-thornton-and-gord-downie-inside-a-friendship-that-changed-a-hockey-star-and-inspired-a-music-legend/ I miss Gord. Thornton’s career is littered by the kind of no-look, behind-the-back passes few players in NHL history had the brains, or the audacity, to try. Thornton remains the active leader in NHL assists, and is seventh all time. He got there by sticking to this credo: “Safe is dead.” During one of their many hangs, Thornton casually dropped the phrase in conversation. Downie stopped in his tracks. “Wait, what?” he asked, stunned. “Safe is dead?” Thornton began likening his approach to Downie’s intense and uninhibited onstage persona. “It’s like you, Gord, when you’re up on stage; nothing you do is safe. Safe is dead, man,” he said. Having never heard the phrase before, it stuck with Downie, both as a lyricist and a person.
  12. Water bottle. With a lameass accent
  13. I dunno. He's pretty bad. Even when he gets paired with Denny Matthews for home games, he sucks hard. I'm just glad that the MLB package allows me to listen to the opposing broadcasters. It's hard to find a tandem that's worse than what KC trots out every game.
  14. Physioc is begging to be part of that crew.
  15. That's only half enough bacon to be called "wrapped". I would eat it, however.
  16. Surly is slippin
  17. Wife and I thought they were meh. Not as crispy as they should be.
  18. @CHIEF, @Cajun On the off chance you should ever find yourself in the Flint Hills part of Kansas, be sure to stop in Cottonwood Falls and see the Roniger Museum. https://chasecountychamber.org/roniger-memorial-musuem/ . It's a small building but they have an outstanding collection of artifacts from the area. My wife's family has donated some of the flint points on display.
  19. When I was a young man, the milo and corn crops were cultivated with small row-crop tractors. We had a Farmall B that had the driver seat offset to the side. it was very easy to spot arrowheads and pottery shards as you cultivated from that perch. We would walk the rows following a rain before the plants grew too tall to see through. We had a burial site on a hill overlooking a creek that gave up a treasure trove when K-State excavated it in the late 60s. The site is still there and has lots of points scattered about but it does require some digging to find them now.
  20. To kill a mockingbird? Seems harsh
  21. Our situation is just the opposite. Neither of us had much discomfort after the first but we are 24 hrs post-2nd and my arm is so sore I can't raise it. She has nothing but injection site itching. Several of my co-workers, vaxxed at the same time as I was, are having chills and body aches. Crazy the way the results are all over the place.
  22. You look different without your nail apron.
  23. Second Moderna in my arm just now. Feels good, man.
  24. Taylor with two home plate assists was huge. I didn't know he had that good an arm.
  25. I went to the golf course after the 2nd, thinking the Royals lost. Just got home and the fucking game is still going on. Ya never know.
