  1. I am an "old," (Graduated UT in 1981), so I and the SO are seriously looking at the island of Roatan in 3 years. Can get dual citizenship pretty easily. Get a pretty nice shack right on the beach. Cost of living not bad. What's not to like?
  2. Ok, what the hell with Ferrari? I read previously that before Covid, they had some issues and did not expect to compete until the latter half of the season. But ... ? Is Vettel just mailing it in? Or do their cars just suck so much this year?
  3. Oh, I know the rules. For your viewing pleasure, Jace Fletcher Christensen:
  4. The pretty hot niece of the Fletcher family opened a brick and mortar in Dallas. It's not bad. https://www.corndogwithnoname.com/
  5. Maybe because in part, if you have a pulse and have 3 opportunities to spell CAT after being spotted the C and the A, you are admitted at those "fine institutions of greater learning." UT is one of the most liberal, public universities in the US. We currently have statues of MLK, Jr., Barbara Jordan, Cesar Chavez. We previously removed statues of Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Reagan, James Stephen Hogg and moved them Briscoe Center for American History. Good Lord, we aren't aggy which has a bunch of old, former yell leaders doing their chants during BLM protests. Like all institutions of higher learning, we must remain open to intelligent viewpoints. If players attending the University of Texas wish to not participate in athletics until certain demands are met, that is their right. That is an adult decision. However, with adult decisions come adult consequences. A decision like that at 21 years old has the potential to impact them for decades and could jeopardize a far greater platform in the future. Now, I do not believe we should yank their scholarships. If they wish not to play, they can attend class and use the time they would otherwise spend in practice or at games to hone their views on life and the world. If they choose not to continue their athletic careers, we can still enhance their lives through academic opportunities.
  6. Gentlemen (and ladies, if any), we all know that so many more businesses are going to cease operations and/or declare bankruptcy. Even those entities which received EIDL loans. Let us assume that Commercial Landlord obtains a judgment for defaulted amounts under a lease with a corporate tenant. Before the lawsuit is filed, the commercial tenant receives EIDL funds but the funds do not come in time to save the business. Also assume the majority of the funds are being held in a separate bank account. The SBA has a UCC1 over all assets of the corporate tenant (including presumably the funds in the bank account). Thoughts and opinions on whether the EIDL funds in the corporate tenant EIDL account should be subject to garnishment. The immediate answer is probably yes, but, there has to be more to the equation than that. Let's also assume that the Commercial Landlord refused to work with any of the tenants for rent abatement or deferral. Balls to the wall, fuck you pay me. Thoughts on whether an implied duty was created for commercial landlords as a result of Covid-19 to devise and implement a rent deferment or abatement plan for tenants assuming it can be shown that the vast majority of landlords created this plan.
  7. Nowithstanding the fact that he couldn't spell CAT even if you spotted him the C and the A ... The worst coach in the history of Texas football by all measurables.
  8. I would only buy on French side of St Martin. Dutch side is way too crowded. Agree with that. I am not the "cruise ship, hanging with tourists from Nebraska type dude." Roatan is looking mighty intriguing.
  9. Going to bring back to life this thread. Am on a 5 year plan to cash out and move to a Caribbean island. Right now, looking at places like Roatan, Ambergris Caye, etc. Willing to spend up to $300K on a house, preferably right on the beach. Away from the turistas for the most part. (for example, if I could afford St. Maarten, the Dutch side would rarely see me). Going to spend whatever time I have left, writing, a few talks would love to find an ex-pat bar to part time tend bar in, snorkel, eat the local food, etc. Don't need extravagant things. Thoughts?
  10. UT Permian Basin. In your undergraduate days, it was known as Apache Territory.
  11. I was so looking forward to that "birkenstock wearing, mouth breathing, destroyer of football programs" Charlie Not-So returning to Austin and watching the absolutely puzzled look on his dumb ass face when we hang 80 points on his dumbass team. But ... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Obviously, I still have PTSD ... Post Traumatic Strong Disorder.
  12. It's called The Waving Song? Hell, I thought it was "Merry Go Round Broke Down."
  13. 3/5 ... 3/5 ... wait, 3/5? I see what they did here! The US Constitution allowed southern states to count slaves as 3/5 of a person for the purpose of apportionment in Congress! That's it by God! The NFL is simply relying upon Constitutional precedent for this brilliant plan. This is Wyle E. Coyote Super Genius material here fellas.
  14. Gents, question about Payroll taxes. It is generally known that payroll taxes for 2020 can be deferred with 50% being paid 12/31/20 and 50% being paid no later than 12/31/21. What about past due payroll taxes for 2019? Any instruction whether those too can be deferred?
  15. Rick "The Rocket" Mount was a pretty good addition as well.
  16. Of course, sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is on oncoming freight train.
  17. What? NO Tyrone Branyan? NO Bob Netolicky? Bogus list.
  18. Which the NBA should permanently adopt. Why try to compete with the NFL and college football for the first 3 months of your season? Start with kick ass opening games on Christmas Day and run through August.
  19. So, the Significant Other has been an independent jeweler for over 30 years. Few employees. Applied for PPP loan last Friday at Chase (we are in Dallas). The PPP loan was for a bit less than $20K. Just got word this morning that loan was approved and would be deposited in her bank account within 3 business days. I wonder if Chase is going to knock out a ton of the smaller PPP loans so they can market how successful they are in funding.
  20. Down by the schoolyard?
