  1. There's also a reason they had an entire scene where the ADA is talking down to Strickland and ends the conversation with "find me something we can use." I suppose it's possible that it could have been someone other than Strickland, but they went way out of their way to tell us who did it, even if they didn't show us. To have it be someone else would be pretty weird, and kinda lazy.
  2. Yeah. It's, uhhhhhh, not very good. Other than the wings which are ok-ish. But also expensive as fuck! 10 wings for only $18. I honestly have no idea how they've stayed open for so long. They must own the property and are just waiting for someone to offer them more than they can refuse. So may as well keep a super-shitty bbq restaurant open while they hold out...
  3. Is Hyde Park "far north Austin" because both are equidistant from Town Lake. I'm stoked about the L&L location. 2 miles from my house and I won't have to deal with the Cosmic cluster fuck.
  4. This series is now on Amazon Prime. Binged the whole series in a week or so. Great, great show. Very funny, at times very dark, and very authentic. Highly recommended.
  5. Don't know Dervin. Not a lot has changed over the last 25 years, except that maybe the burgers are even better than they used to be? Fuck, that's a good burger.
  6. This post hasn't aged very well....
  7. This. It's character development. With boobs! He didn't snitch, but he did stake out the gangster for Strickland and the DA and took photos which were used to put him away.
  8. I enjoyed the hell out of it. But I watched it before I read stories about how he hates Jane Fonda and walks restaurant tabs from all you weirdos.
  9. I can't see Ted reconciling with Michelle after their marriage counselor took her to pound town. If the writers had her start dating some random guy, then sure. But dating the person that was supposed to be helping them work through their problems seems like too much for a guy like Ted to forgive. Especially because she kept it a secret from him.
  10. Avery Tomasco (seriously, is that a real name?) is a shit-talking Aggie doofus.
  11. My HEB at William Cannon and Brodie is reorganizing their shelves AGAIN and I want to burn the whole fucking thing to the ground. Just when you finally memorize where all your shit is located they fucking move everything around and it takes twice as long to do your shopping. Rage-inducing. They used to. And they were awesome. But they haven't made them in like 5 years.

    A current draft of the Project Connect transportation plan has a light rail line running directly through Dirty's. People be pissed.
  13. Is it against the rules? No. But the guy that got KO'd seemed a little confused because it looks like the KO'er was seeking a glove touch to "start" the match. It's shitty sportsmanship. And people tend to love it when it backfires.
  14. I mean, they sell it for $20 a 4-pack at HEB. That's a 3x markup at $15 a can. You pay $10 for a six pack of Live Oak pilz at HEB and they charge $8 a can here, which is a 5x markup. The problem here isn't the markup. The problem is that Jellyfish is by far and away the most overpriced, overhyped and overrated beer in all of the land.
  15. We got a small runoff pond here in south Austin that is fed by a spring so it holds water year round. Someone put bass and bluegill in it. They don’t get very large but it’s still fun to fish. Dug some nightcrawlers up today and the boy fished with those. He caught a dozen or so and I caught 10 using a little crank and a rooster tail. Good times. Yes. I am wearing a ghostbusters t shirt
  16. I've enjoyed all of them in one way or another except French Dispatch. Tried to watch it three times and fell asleep each time. Gave up.
  17. I got a Church's around the corner from my house at William Cannon and Manchaca. They're doing a whole re-brand trying to church-up their image. Their drive through is still slow as fuuuuuuuck. But I'll fuck up some Church's every now and then.
  18. I heard Sydney is Eric Nahlin.
  19. There's a simple explanation - the only time I've ever ordered JITB tacos I've been absolutely shithouse wasted. And when absolutely shithouse wasted, putting "sauce" packets on the outside of your taco makes perfect sense.
  20. It's not that much work to me, and I don't mind it. Cut up peppers. Throw in salt water. Burp when you go into the pantry a few times a day. Drain, blend, and strain. Takes about 10 minutes to get it into the solution, and about 10 minutes to drain, blend and strain. Then I've got enough hot sauce for like 3 months and enough to give away to friends.
  21. But then she'd have to live in Mansfield.
