  1. ooh I get it, it’s cause they all look the same JFC
  2. Squeeze and Boy George tonight in Dallas. Anyone see them last night in Austin? Trying to figure out which one will be opening tonight. Apparently they're alternating each show.

    If you haven't seen her episode on Portlandia you definitely should check it out.

    Necro bump but we're going to see Squeeze tonight here in Dallas. Co-headlining with Boy George. Anyone go last night in Austin? Which one of them opened? (Apparently they are alternating each show). Also interesting is that Squeeze was often categorized as "New Wave" but the band (in particular Glen Tillbrook) felt they were truly "pop" and also resented that many critics called him and Chris Difford "the next Lennon and McCartney." One of my favorite bands from my youth (high school and college) along with Elvis Costello, the Police, the Cars, the Clash, etc., etc. I caught a pick from Rick Nielsen at one of their concerts back in the day.
  5. Yes many times. Alloro (I think that’s what it’s called) is probably the best restaurant in town after Edgewater closed. My group regularly goes to the Wheelhouse for one dinner each year. It’s fine but I wouldn’t consider it outstanding. The Irish pub in town has good pub food and a great vibe but it closes pretty early at night (like just about everything in town).
  6. Except you can’t look for new appointments without giving up whatever appointment you may have already secured. I had to renew mine in December and had to wait until March for an appointment ind Dallas. Had to travel with my passport a couple of trips to get past TSA. Also apparently dispensaries in CA won’t let you in with an expired license.
  7. Saw it again last night on the local news. That’s got to be the 50+ demographic.
  8. In case anyone doesn't know what J.D. is suggesting:
  9. As the election draws closer I hope he starts using this.
  10. Well I saw it today for the first time on Dallas NBC affiliate during the Today Show. ETA: Compared to the terrible commercial with him and his wife talking about how he likes to work with Republicans I thought it was a considerable improvement.
  11. I'm not sure it's a winning strategy but it's clear he's trying to appeal to country club republicans. Problem for him is that a large number of those are closeted racists.
  12. Explain this to me like I was a finance major.
  13. Okay I just saw his latest ad with a bunch of sheriffs. Pretty good.
  14. Funny story about #2. At my club we have a member (and friend of mine) who went on a group trip to Pinehurst years ago. His last name is Regan (pronounced like Ronnie). At the time he was a sub-5 handicap. Played number 2 and didn’t make a single par. The feat sealed his name forever at Lakewood. Now if you are playing and haven’t made a par you’re “on the Regan” (watch). Last week I had a back 9 Regan. It was not a good day. ETA if someone is off to a bad start and finally makes a par we often congratulate them for getting “off the “Regan”. Right, @capnamerca?
