    I made the mistake of ordering steak and eggs at IHOP a couple weeks ago and A-1 wouldn't save that piece of mule.

    I made the mistake of ordering steak and eggs at a Waffle House in Florida a couple of years ago and developed a close attachment to any available toilet for the next 24 hours or so.

    That's some kiss of death shit right there, for sure.  Hook 'em!

    Judging by all the pitchers Fairfield threw at us I don't think they do. But, rather, I think the regular season rosters have been pretty standardized as far as their size. I certainly have not heard anything about trimming rosters in a very long time.

    With the all players getting an extra year of eligibility, apparently not much limit on rosters this year:  

    Loaded rosters, COVID-19 will make the 2021 college baseball season interesting

    Cooper’s is meh. Every time they cut your brisket they move toward dipping it into the big vat of sauce while asking, “do you want sauce with that,” like there’s a presumption their BBQ should be dipped in sauce. Very Greg Abbott. #nocloakroom

    Totally with you.  But frankly, you do need the sauce to be able to eat their 'cue these days.  I don't know where they got the idea that their rub should have more salt than pepper in it -- but it was and is a bad idea.  As far as Austin joints these days, I'm on team Terry Black's.

    but the best was Lobster Nachos at the bar of the Inn of the Anasazi

    Great bar and interesting crowd -- and usually an excellent happy hour with food specials.

  6. I appreciate the reasoned responses to this topic.  Human history is brutal.  My family was privileged by receiving some of the original Texas land grants.  But we also lost land due to the havoc and corruption of Reconstruction in East Texas.  But that was more than 100 years ago.  We got over it.  My grandfather, with an 8th grade education and the wages that inured to a full-time Texas Company (now known as Texaco) refinery worker in Port Arthur, ended up buying in 1935 around 200 acres of land that our family had previously owned, for about $5 per acre.  No mineral rights, all the timber had been stripped, but he owned it.  Our family owns it now.  Time and timber growth can heal a lot of wounds.

    They did call it a riot. It was an effective way to push blame onto the residents of the charred 35 block area of Greenwood that had its residents shot, burned beyond recognition, rounded up and placed in camps after martial law was declared, and denied any insurance claims being paid out. One of the two (white) newspapers of the time was rather *tabloidy and ran some rather inflammatory stuff when the young black man was jailed.

    The President's recognition and naming it with the more recent term 'massacre' is apt. I watched most of his speech. Context is important because otherwise, you're going to get played.  Aren't you smarter than that?

     

     

    *The Tulsa Tribune grew more respectable over time and prior to dissolving had a decent investigative team. It's never been shown whether rumor or fact that the paper's owners in later years had specific copies destroyed. The microfilm at the Tulsa City County Library went missing.

    I first learned of this tragic event from some of my Tulsa lawyer clients in the mid 1990's.  Horrible and they were all very embarrassed that it had been hidden from view during their lives.  Mobs do bad things.  The results are inexcusable.

    Hmm not a bad idea. Convert either Clay or Kizer to a permanent camp. I bet you could shelter a few thousand homeless on all that land. Install the appropriate shelters, amenities and services out there and provide shuttles into town. And then strictly enforce the camping ordinance. Bam, solved. 

     

    Hancock golf course would be perfect.  Close to HEB (when its open), other retail, and lots of bus lines and such.

    it wasn't a gotdamn riot. you give yourself away. 

    Neither of us were there, but lots of historical references called it a "riot" -- I'm fine with massacre.  It was a tragic event.

    Did you vote last election? If so, for who? Who would you vote for in 2024 to do better than Biden, especially on addressing current race relations in this country? 

    I think that we'd be way better off without the efforts of the professional race agitators.  This country is far more just and nowhere near where it was 100 years ago.  The Tulsa riot was a tragedy, but it has almost nothing to do with where we are today in terms of race relations.  Some folks seem to want to play that angle for political gain.

  11. BIDEN: "...young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don't have lawyers, they don't have accountants..."

    IDK, it seems like his comments were a bit condescending to the Black business owners who have somehow managed to find legal counsel and accountants to help them run their businesses without the help of the the government.
