  1. CSB. About 20 years ago, my older brother was in a terrible car accident and sustained several injuries, including his heart stopping a couple of times on Life Flight. About 6 months afterwards he was suffering from a lot of headaches and dizziness and confusion and eventually they diagnosed that he had a subdural hematoma from the wreck and needed surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain. They told us that putting him under was an option, but they preferred to have him awake because the anesthesia could cause some more swelling. So he was wide awake while they drilled a hole in his head and poked around on his brain. He said he was chatting and joking with the surgeon and crew the whole time. Crazy.
  2. I think you should go to the media. And by go to the media, I mean I think you should post naked pictures of your wife . . . if she's hot. Other than that, seriously, call the cops. No idea what small town you're in, but if it's big enough to have a grad school nearby, it's probably gonna be big enough to have a more diverse police force so that you're not dealing with a good ol' boy network. That shit needs to be documented. Also, IMHO the best way to deal with stupid shit like that is to always shine a light on it. Don't let those fuckers do that shit in the shadows. Make them famous if you can. Make sure the world knows who and what they are.
  3. Can't speak to the climate, but federal law (Telecommunications Act of 1996) prevents HOAs from prohibiting satellite TV dishes. I freaking love LHN. I get to see tons of baseball, basketball, whatever sports I'd never get to see. Plus lots of cool stuff like All Access. IMHO the LHN is one of the best things to happen for Texas sports fans in my lifetime. I don't get the animosity for it.
  4. Interesting. I can tell you with absolute certainty that Brenham has scrimmaged 2 opponents a year since my time. And they have played zero week games almost every year it's been allowed also.
  5. I played my HS ball from 85-89 and it was always 1 intersquad and 2 vs other teams. It has been that way since too. I don't know how far you're going back, but that's 30 plus years it's been done this way at least.
  6. Uh . . . in high school in Texas you're allowed one intersquad scrimmage and 2 against other schools before the regular season.
  7. I don't really much give a shit about another team's fans doing the Horns down or the players being penalized for it, so long as our guys don't get flagged for doing it in a similar fashion. What pisses me off is when our players don't do something about it themselves.
  8. Sheboygan Toilet Cloggers would be a great name for a punk band. Or maybe polka band.
  9. Anyone else heard the rumor that Childress is going to Corn?
  10. Shit, all we've had so far is a few renderings showing what it'll look like from 2 or 3 POVs. Any other school that embarks on a reno project like this produces a fancy video with fly-throughs showing a bunch of different angles. I'm shocked that someone as detail oriented as CDC is hasn't been all over doing that. I suspect there's a reason for it. Just like there's a reason that we have no idea what the new basketball arena will look like. I'm not smart enough to know what those reasons are though.
  11. I lived ther for 10 years and nobody from San Antonio calls it San Antone. I learned that quickly when I first moved there.
  12. I found out tonight that the guy that died is a friend of a coworker of mine. She's pretty broken up over it.
  13. I don't remember if this had been posted before or not, but this one was absolutely in the regular cycle for me in the mid 80s. Terrible movie, but lots of gags, one liners and hot chicks.
  14. Sheeee-it, I can't believe that movie would be anyone's favorite 80s movie or even close. Different strokes I guess.
  15. Teen Witch. Not a great movie or even a good one, in fact it's cheesy as hell, but it's a typical "B" teen movie from late in the era. I'm mainly posting this clip because, CSB, I was friends with the dancing/rapping kid in the vest. He's on the movie's VHS box cover too for some reason, even though his role in it is small. His family lived in the house I grew up in before my family bought it in 1977. Also, the chick that's the main character is Robyn Lively and she's Blake Lively's older sister believe it or not.
  16. Smitty's>Kreuz and anyone else. Kreuz BBQ is a pretty close 2nd though.
  17. Mine aren't. Mine are spoiled little sissy brats that won't go outside if it's so much as misting or less than 55 degrees. The only things they kill are the toys I buy them.
  18. Keep in mind that an encounter with a venomous snake isn't really dangerous, but an interaction with one very well can be. The best course, just like pretty much any other aspect of life, is to educate yourself about the risks. If you know where they are, most often in the dunes, you can avoid those areas and still enjoy the beach. They're no more interested in interacting with you, than you are with them. What get's me is seeing dumbass drunk people sneak off into the dunes to take a piss, with no clue of the dangers there.
  19. I still don't understand how Texans don't realize that there are as many or more rattlers on Texas beaches, than all of the rest of the state combined. The abundance of prey is pretty much unlimited in the dunes and so are they. About 10 years ago me and a buddy drove up State Park Road 100 on South Padre Island all of the way until sand had covered the road where you couldn't go any further without 4 wheel drive. We decided to get out and look around, and not more than 30 feet off the road, in the dunes to the bay side of the island, I came across a pit with dozens and dozens, maybe even hundreds of rattlers. Scared the shit out of me. They're everywhere in the dunes. You just usually don't see them.
  20. Hmmmm . . . not to get too political here, but isn't Boulder the fascist city that's trying to unconstitutionally ban guns? Interesting.
  21. Lowell Galindo is okay as long as you don't have to see him or hear him talk.
  22. Here's what Lester was up to before KU hired him. http://youtu.be/bvv2-7iOD_8
  23. A lot of great input. Thanks guys. I'll pick up a bottle of liquid smoke this weekend. * P.S. I'd rep all of you guys, but I'm out all ready.
  24. Hey guys, I'm wanting to smoke a brisket the Saturday before the Super Bowl to serve on Sunday at my family's watch party. I'm wondering what the best process is in both packaging it up after it's cooked and what is the best way to reheat it. I'm planning on also smoking some baby back ribs and fresh sausage on Sunday, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to reheat it in the smoker at the same time? Also, what temp should I reheat it to? Anybody have experience doing this? Any advice or tips? Thanks!
  25. Carmakers might be able to sell more electrics to a broader audience if they didn't make them all look so stupid. Tesla, who makes the most visually appealing electrics, started out great with the Lotus body, but then even they started making them look fucked up with their screwed up lack of symmetry on their current models. I'd never even consider buying a Volt, or a Prius or any of the others, because the all look goofy and cheap as hell.
