  1. Well, to be fair he might’ve been scared off by someone waving a dildo.
  2. Those waterheads are flooded with bile.
  3. We had what we thought was a similar problem last fall - even though our 30 year old house has the plastic pipes. We did have some root intrusion, but the plumbers discovered that the drain pipe on that side of the house had settled several inches and was bowed downwards - causing a buildup of solids. The crew had to dig out a 20’ tunnel under the slab to replace at the sewer pipe. Unfortunately when they started digging down two feet on the outside by the foundation they ran into the limestone bedrock. So they brought in a small jackhammer to chip out a 3’x4’ tunnel 25’ long to be able to do the replacement. Two days of jachammer noise vibrating the house and our ears. $25,000.
  4. Am glad my grandson goes to Austin instead of Crockett.
  5. Yeah, just like buying a Colt product these days.
  6. They’ve got their highest ranking officers working on it.
  7. Just kidding. On a related note, my son’s friend was supposedly in the process of having a custom 1911 made by Jesse James. From what I heard it was going to be quite pricey.
  8. To the dumpster?
  9. Will you take Kahrs & Rugers on trades?
  10. Yep, apparently the longest range and fastest single pilot-rated passenger jet available to the civil market.
  11. Summertime Saturday nights in the late 70s & early 80s - loading the kids, a bushel of popcorn, and a gallon of Kool-Aid in the station wagon to go see flicks like Jason and the Argonauts at the drive-in theater.
  12. St. Ignatius.
  13. That method wouldn’t work in College Station. It would go unnoticed.
  14. This Embraer Phenom 300E would be cool….
  15. I was a total fuckup in high school and was only in the top 25%, but could breathe. So they let me in.
  16. Fall semester 1962 - registered for 15 hours and paid about $15 for my student blanket pass. Total cost was slightly less than $100.
  17. They seem to fill their glory holes consistently.
  18. Like “free” rescue dogs from the pound, free inherited jewelry from Grandma can wind up being costly. This antique 100+ year old platinum-mounted ring Mrs. Brat was gifted from her grandmother as a child became one of her favorites, which upon reaching adulthood she wore daily on her right hand up until about 25 years ago. The mount had developed a couple of problems such as a missing “link” or two from around the edge, and the finger “loop” had split. So off to our local longtime mom & pop jewelry shop for repair. Two weeks and $647 later we picked it up today. Looks like the old man did a proper job, I guess, but at least he shined it up nicely. Hopefully Granddaughter will wear it someday when Grandma gifts it to her. If not, perhaps one of the grandsons will have an appreciative spouse who will like to have it.
