    That's the chicken/cheese/jap wrapped in bacon? They were good. Johnny's in Salado does them better, though. I think that, deep deep down, I just wanted to shit on something that people in Waco like.

    I like LL AWH is good but a bit unwieldy. Sound Exchange wouldn't be bad.

    After having a serious nostalgia chuckle during the movie, I'm making my boys watch Krull. They're loving it. Times may change, but us boys still have predictably terrible and marketable taste.

    I'm going to be honest that I never liked that the Gene Wilder version changed things up from the book and made Charlie and his grandpa into whiny bitches. But Wilder killed it in the role he was given and made it iconic. Even if Depp was handed a turd sandwich, he just ate it.

    And if you can work it in, swim at Balmorhea.

    Went to the Capri a couple years ago, not knowing anything about it. Took two grubby boys there and we were pretty gross from camping, but they took our money (plenty of it). It was a bit precious, but the drinks were good, as was the ribeye:

    George O's. I get it, it's in Waco and that's probably as good as Waco gets, but the food is meh, the beer selection is meh, and the Big O is just a schooner like I could probably get at any crappy chain. 2 barfs, because while it's not frankly disgusting, it needs to be more clearly stated that it is simply the least shitty option you have if you can't wait until you get out of Waco.

    I'm in a similar boat. Wife has had her Armada for 10+ years, and trying to decide new Armada vs QX80 vs dropping down to something smaller. It's my understanding that the QX80 isn't due for a major redesign for several years, so that might help if she needs to have the latest stuff. For whatever reason, I prefer the Armada styling to the QX, but that's probably because I'm cheap. And Land Cruisers are awesome, but holy shit, the prices. And if you gave me my pick, it'd be an FJ55.

    Agree that the era of HBO/Netflix series opens some possibilities for some previously 'unfilmables' like Blood Meridian and Confederacy of Dunces. I wish World War Z had gotten that treatment, and would love to see a do-over.

    Protip: Heat a needle and make multiple punctures in the fuselage, then paint the tops silver for Super Realistic Bulletholes. Then blow up plane with firecrackers.

    Just walked out. It's a win. Totally entertained.

    Sweet. Just to get further off track, we went to see Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen) years ago at the Laff Stop in Houston (he's pretty funny). One of the audience members had a Delorean and got him to autograph the dashboard afterward. /oldcsb

    Saw this in Temple a while back and took a picture for my obsessed sons: Kinda don't see Cline as a disabled vet type, unless it's carpal tunnel from drone piloting.

    I'll shamelessly plug C-man as well. We got significantly better coverage and our cost did go down a little. The worst part was nearly making my old State Farm agent cry. I'd been with them my entire adult life.

    Jealous. I always wanted to have a couple around. I regret passing on an upright Space Harrier for $200 years ago, even though I have no idea where I would have put it.

    Thank you, @PatrickMcHorn. Love this thing. I added a few, some beyond TX borders if that's cool. Holly's Drive Inn - Post, TX. Old school drive in burger joint. Chilly WIllie's - Arroyo City, TX. Dive bar with great greasy-ass burgers and onion rings. Route 66 Restaurant - Santa Rosa, NM. Old school diner and greasy spoon, good breakfast. Salman Ranch Raspberry Ranch - Mora, NM. Not a restaurant, but a great road trip stop. If it's raspberry season, these are awesome. Foxy Drive In - Clovis, NM. Greasy burger drive-in (a theme seems to be developing...). La Perla Taqueria/Bakery - Belton, TX. Dumpy, cheap joint with great tacos, amazeballs carnitas, good bakery. Lois and Jerry's - Bartlett, TX. Good burgers and CFS, but I haven't been in a long time as they seem to close randomly and aren't open weekends.

    Oh, and spend all your monies at Soaring. Ridiculously expensive but pretty much once-in-a-lifetime awesome ziplining, which included the best parts of the train ride.

    All the breweries were great, but I think I liked Brew best. Durango Diner for breakfast. Oscar's is also good. The Western show at the Strater is corny but entertaining, depending on how old your kid is. The bar there is cool, too. The lower Animas rafting is meh. For the same price I got half-day private kayak lessons for me and my boys at 4 Corners, much more fun. Great town, enjoy!
