    I may have told this at some point, I can’t remember. I am pretty sure @HenryJames was there. 

    We all met up in Austin for drinks and dinner one weekend during the early, happy days of the Barking Carnival efforts. Probably 8-10 of us. Anyway, we’re bullshitting at dinner and at some point, for whatever reason, height comes up. Someone asks me how tall I am and I say “6’2”” because, you know, that’s like factually correct and shit. 

    Scipio can’t believe it, overhearing the conversation. “No way you’re 6’2”. I’m 6’2”. “ I say, cool, good for you, buddy. He still can’t accept it, bizarrely. It bothers the guy and finally he basically challenges me to a measurement. I would be mocking people having this conversation if I were seated near them and witnessing it. 

    Anyway, I eventually capitulate to make it all go away and we stand back to back, in which the impartial judges begrudgingly informed Scipio that, in fact, he might not be fully 6’2”. He refused to believe it. To this day, I don’t know what in the fuck was going on there in his head, but for sure, physical dimensions are a part of his ego. 

    Outside of high school sports, that is the only time my height ever proved crucial, winning that height contest in my early 30’s. 

    @closetojumping is definitely 6'2" and is frequently mistaken for both Vincent D'Onofrio and Philip Rivers.

    I’ve always thought their burgers were middling at best but the Waterloo on Burnet has had great burgers the past two times I’ve gone there. Half pound patty and properly crusty from the flat top.

    Drove by it on Saturday and it looked packed. Commented to my wife that there are still people who eat there. Those people are @CooterBrown.

    Country Tavern, Kilgore-ish

     

    Many people say these are the best ribs in the state. Id have to say they are the best BABY BACK ribs in the state. Prolly the best baby backs ive had. Their brisket was fine, despite the awful looking pic. Texas twinkies were incredible. Crazy how packed this place was. Def worth a stop for the glaze on the ribs

    Dallas is getting hit by hail.  Also, huge tragedy elsewhere with a massive tornado:

    Very sad shit. Twitter/X starting to show some pictures. Also, was listening to the police scanner stuff—it hit the trailer park head on and the mass casualty stuff is not exaggerated. I had to stop listening. It hit a more populated area near Columbus. Bad bad bad…💔

    Reports of a trailer park hit and houses on fire? Did Ohio State lose?
