  1. Then, your wife would go sleep with Ted Danson.
  2. Aren't there rules on this website about pics, etc? Flippin' damned mouthpieces think they are above the rules!!!!!
  3. So, I have a good friend who is the official photographer for the Dallas Opera. Madam Butterfly is playing. Because of her affiliation, she gets us into the "hoi polloi" area during intermission. Am standing there talking with her and a few other people when someone asks me what I thought of it so far. My response, "The sets are incredibly parochial. Far too basic. It looks like something a high school production would come up with." My friend's face turns white and she says, "uh.. Steven , this is Keith Cerny the General Director of the Opera." I look at him ... he looks at me, and I say, "eh, well, at least the voices are pretty good."
  4. If you love somebody enough ...
  5. Second the Botanist recommendation. Also, this ...
  6. The oneupmanship thread is ............>
  7. Ok, just opened yesterday. Tian Tian. It's at the corner of Preston and Frankford Road in Far North Dallas. The chef is from China where he was trained. Ovens made in China. This appears to not be, "Asian Food for Round Eyes." We had the Peking Duck, sliced to perfection, the "pancakes" are almost diaphanous they were so thin. The Xiao Long Bao with Black Truffle steamed dumplings were exceptional. And for something different, Black Fungus with Wasabi (texture very interesting and just enough heat). Since it was opening night, there were organizational issues. But, gents, this place could be legit.
  8. So Nebraska is now comparing itself to SMU and Rice. Got it. Truer words were never spoken. You can pretty much lock this down now.
  9. The Williams ... huh... That's actually pretty slick. It will look pretty good fighting with Hass for dominance of last place in every race this year.
  10. Well ... uh... ok... Nothing like draping yourself in the Russian National Flag I suppose.
  11. Of the 10 out of 11 punts "inside" the 20 .... ZERO between 20 and 15 yard lines; TWO between 15 and 10 yard lines; FOUR between 10 and 5 yard lines, and; FOUR BETWEEN 5 yard line and Goal line.
  12. Well, I have submitted my application to dispose of all evidence (after the trial of course) at my own expense. Saving lives ... one snort at a time.
  13. The Alpha Tauri look last year was classic, simple, elegant. This year ... yawn. I'm sure only to be outdone by the presumed craptacular livery that HAAS will again throw down.
  14. This is Randolph Duke catnip here. I wonder if he has already contacted aggy administration and advised them the aggy logo was being used without a license agreement.
  15. One would think that the game could have been postponed another day ... or play it Monday night. When your women's head basketball coach and assistant coach are killed 24 hours before that game... And just 10 years after another plane crash which killed 2 kids on the men's basketball team and 6 members of the OSU broadcast team and coaching staff. No way those kids were in the right mindset to play this game. Oh, and fuck the system after it allowed Bama to play in the MNC that year.
  16. Alan Page went on to become the first African American Associate Justice to sit on the Minnesota Supreme Court.
  17. 1984 Cotton Bowl ... Texas on the verge of a victory and the MNC against Georgia and then... Craig Curry's fumble ... and infamy. 1978 Cotton Bowl ... Neutered Dame held Earl to 116 yards and its defense pretty much shut us down. 2008 Texas Tech loss. So many ways we could, and should, have won that game. 2010 MNC game against Bammer. Colt does not get injured, we win that game, going away. That doubles the championships we have won ... and in 3 of the 4 losses, one huge play turned the tide. Had those plays not occurred, how would history be judging our program now?
  18. For a bit of perspective, the Brady to Gronkowski connection has scored 84 points in their Super Bowls. (14 touchdowns). That is more points than the following teams have scored in their total number of Super Bowl games: Kansas City Chiefs (5 games); Miami Dolphins (5 games); Indianapolis Colts (4 games); Los Angeles Rams (4 games); Buffalo Bills (4 games); Minnesota Vikings (4 games); Seattle Seahawks (3 games); Philly Eagles (3 games); Baltimore Ravens (2 games); Chicago Bears (2 games); Atlanta Falcons (2 games); Carolina Panthers (2 games); Cincy Bengals (2 games); New Orleans Saints (1 game); New York Jets (1 game); Arizona Cardinals (1 game); Tenn. Titans (1 game), and; Los Angeles Chargers (1 game).
  19. That may have been at the peak of LSUFreek's greatness.
  20. Nah. Show your kids that UCDavis, NC State, Ohio State, Cornell all have higher rated Vet Schools. Even Purdue has a decent vet school. No aggy. Bad aggy.
  21. Once the real LB coach is hired, of course we expect that we shall see you do your Paul Harvey imitation, "and now you know, the rest of the story."
