  1. I wish I new more about the history, but the wife had a relative among the Alamo defenders and is a member of “The Daughters of the Republic of Texas” and “Alamo Defenders Association” She’s also a member of the “Former Texas Rangers Association” as result of late relatives serving. She’s been to a few of those cross placing ceremonies in the last five years. Also a distant relative of Maney Gault...and a serial bank robber in pre WWII Texas. Her uncle was a member of a rag tag group of demolition guys in the 506th PIR 101st Airborne that called themselves the “Filthy Thirteen”. They dropped in behind enemy lines at the start of D-Day to destroy some key bridges. His lifelong friend was a guy named Jake McNiece. Look that guy’s name up for some legit history. Unfortunately her actuary mind is rarely interested in history. Her brain is all mathematics.
  2. Not too long ago I would have considered Val Kilmer a “sleeper” pick. Man that poor guy has really gone down hill.
  3. Kirk Douglas - For obvious reasons Robert De Niro - I’m thinking a hat attack induced by road rage or something.
  4. Yeah, the fact that the good guy shooter didn’t unload his weapon really stood out. The average LEO would have one handed a full mag while flinching in a backpedal. No telling how many innocents would have been struck by errant rounds. LEOs would have been spraying the place relatively long after the shooter when down. That old cop is a boss.
  5. lol! The owner of a quasi mega-church in the Austin area was escorted to and from the pulpit by an armed guard.
  6. lol at these ACC refs getting the gig as a result of being so good. That was easily one of the worst missed calls in semi-final history. Could not have happened to a more deserving team though.
  7. ^ lol Casting Greta Van Susteren must have been a challenge...because the actor they ended up with looked like Martin Short in drag.
  8. Moose out front told us that the earth is going to die in a dozen or so years. So it’s pretty obvious that the fourth time is going to be a charm.
  9. Not too long after moving from France to America I was singled out in school one day and sent to the “nurse’s office” without any warning at all. They zap me with the devious looking jet injector and send me back to class with no fucks given. Still don’t know what that was for, and probably didn’t even mention it to my mother afterward. Different times for sure.
  10. Saw it tonight. Was pretty damn good for the most part. Trivial, but I’ve never seen this actor in anything other than Deadwood. Or have I? Quite the transformation.
  11. Can’t believe they did Roge like that. What’s up with super lip’s Daemon not talking?
  12. Gotta say I was pretty satisfied with the outcome.
  13. Yeah, he definitely one handed that child. His right elbow and forearm are visible as he extends the baby out with his left.
  14. It almost looks like he might have dangled the infant out there with one arm while using the other arm as an anchor on the sill. Tragic.
  15. We order quite a bit from Amazon and haven’t really had any problems. We’ve saved so much money that we don’t know what to do with all of it. Life changing. But seriously, ordered a pump motor and some DE filters for the pool at far less than half the cost of what local sellers were asking. Both items arrived a day earlier than anticipated.
  16. No thanks. I pay a fair amount of money NOT to live somewhere like Topeka. [emoji41]
  17. The most morally sound cop on any large police force will eventually have to overlook actionable infractions committed by less morally correct cops...that is at least if they want to keep their job and not have to worry about getting slow played when calling for backup. And a ton of cops don’t want to work anywhere near another cop that might “snitch” them out for some simple human rights violations...or worse.

    SNL 45

    I’m sure I’ll get some heat for this, but that Niles cat killed that first song. Definitely not what I expected from him.
  19. Incredibly irresponsible and shoddy police work there. And that’s me in GTA-5. Supercars everywhere...until I commit a crime without my own ride. “Fucking vans!”
  20. I don’t think Baylor would have a chance if the refs were Baylor trainers.
  21. lol? How many chances did Baylor blow on that sideline play? They’re fucked!
