  1. See Captain Ron’s post #8 above.
  2. While living in Puerto Rico during the early 1950s my Dad acquired some beams of Ausubo wood that were salvaged from a renovation of a 17th Century Spanish colonial building on our US Army post (Fort Brooke). That wood supposedly has a Janka hardness of 3130 lbs. He had several table lamps (two single & one double) and some small items made from it, and I inherited this one single lamp…..(of course I attached the stained glass shade): The side table is Taiwanese teak, custom made when we lived there in the late 1950s.
  3. Oh, I have no doubts as to the pedigree of the source, but dunno which mutt (Texags, 12th Man Foundation, TAMU, Buc-EE’s or the A&M athletic department). Probably the same nabobs who propagated these….
  4. Repeat that tomorrow. Your nuts will thank you on Monday.
  5. Seriously, I & my family would be delighted if Austin had an extensive public transportation system, and would use it. I’ve ridden the Tokyo-Yokohama high speed rail, the subways in NYC, the Tube in London, electric streetcars in St. Louis, school buses in Puerto Rico & Taiwan, the San Francisco cable cars, chicken buses around Mexico, trains across the USA, Mexico & Panama, the Las Vegas monorails, and shuttle buses in numerous cities including those to UT football games. Enjoyed the convenience of them all. But I have my doubts if the CoA and Capital Metro could run an extensive system with even a modicum of competence & fiscal responsibility. Perhaps someday they will.
  6. I’m not dissing Austin’s public transportation. But a city’s got to know its limitations……
  7. Pure whitebread…. without the crust.
  8. Unfortunately I can’t recall if the responsible party was ever outed.
  9. Well Max, maybe you won’t litter anywhere on campus anymore.
  10. A&M traditions & culture = shibboleth.
  11. Not to mention Florida & Georgia being ranked way above A&M.
  12. This aged well…..
  13. Not to mention their open campaign to preventTexas from joining the SEC because they were afraid of being Little Brother again.
  14. Juveniles can be charged with capital murder, but are not subject to the death penalty or life without parole. SCOTUS said so in 2005.
  15. 1 - Too bad the Dean didn’t see it that way when I was matriculating at UT during the early 60s. 2 - No kidding, and it’s even worse when I don’t proofread before posting replies.
