    Fuck yeah. Subscribed. 

    You know what I'm talking about!!!

    We know guys that deserve to go off with a good but honest send off. (We all know the Lonesome Dove thing, so no need for it here. I'm talking real men and women  of today. The post about in the do you know a murderer/murdered thread about the woman who got shot in the head 3-4 times ties in here!!)

  2. Buddy sent me this. This cat sounds like the kind of guy I'd get along with all night (til closing time) or we'd duke it out in 5.

    These don't come up all too often, but I see them every know and then, and I sure do appreciate them.

    Randall Jacobs:

    Phoenix - Randall Jacobs of Phoenix died at age 65, having lived a life that would have sent a lesser man to his grave decades earlier. His friends called him RJ, but to his family he was Uncle Bunky, a.k.a. The Bunkster. He told his last joke, which cannot be printed here, on May 4th, 2020.

    Uncle Bunky burned the candle, and whatever else was handy, at both ends. He spoke in a gravelly patois of wisecracks, mangled metaphors, and inspired profanity that reflected the Arizona dive bars, Colorado ski slopes, and various dodgy establishments where he spent his days and nights. He was a living, breathing "hang loose" sign, a swaggering hybrid of Zoni desert rat, SoCal hobo, and Telluride ski bum.

    A prolific purveyor of Bunky-isms such as "Save it, clown!" (or "Zeebo" if he was in a mood), he would mercilessly tease his "goombatz" nephews with nicknames such as "mud flap" and "style master." Just days after his beloved cat Kitters passed away, he too succumbed to "The Great Grawdoo", leaving behind a vapor trail of memories and a piece of sage advice lingering in his loved ones' ears: "Do what Bunky say. Not what Bunky do."

    For all his chaotic energy and hysterical charm, he had a gentle soul. A night out with Bunky could result in a court summons or a world-class hangover, but his friends and family would drop whatever they were doing to make a trip out to see him. His impish smile and irreverent sense of humor were enough to quell whatever sensibilities he offended. He didn't mean any harm; that was just Bunky being Bunky.

    When the end drew near, he left us with a final Bunkyism: "I'm ready for the dirt nap, but you can't leave the party if you can't find the door."

    He found the door, but the party will never be the same without him.

    In lieu of flowers, please pay someone's open bar tab, smoke a bowl, and fearlessly carve out some fresh lines through the trees on the gnarliest side of the mountain.

    Also started using this Weber Connect hub. Runs off wifi and bluetooth. Great so far but hoping they add features like temp low and high alerts for each probe. These probes are thinner and easier to insert than my old retired my Maverick probes.

    How do you like the Webber Connect Hub? I'd like to use something that works with my home wifi, since the coverage is much wider than the Bluetooth range on my Igrill device. I have an Iphone.

    FM 1626 exit.  It was less than a mile from Crumley's Store that had the giant Christmas light display year round.  Crumley's is now a Planet K and the Adam's Extract property  is almost completely built out with various things.

     

    This. There's a gas station mart thingy, a collision repair place and I think some new medical building.

    When Blue Bell was pulled from the shelves, Adams and HEB hooked up to fill the void with trusted names. I liked the ice cream they put out. I guess the agreement was a short-term deal, as HEB hasn't offered the Adams ice cream in a while.

     

    Blue Bell can go fuck themselves.

    One would hope as the Tech University system develops their veterinary school and education programs, there will be other locations in addition to Lubbock. Amarillo, Odessa, and El Paso make intuitive sense considering Tech has a presence in those cities in terms of having health sciences centers.

    What about a Sterling City branch?

  6. Sharp is such a poor leader, once they start feeling a little pressure from Tech on the vet school front, he'll make another classic blunder, once again making aggy look the fool. Tech will win this battle with ease. And quickly.

    Well, imagine those 2 girls being with you, paying for your drinks and being your wing men helping you hook up with super hot strange after having a 3-way with them an hour earlier.

    I’m sure others experiences varied but seriously, if I had it to do over again I would be a male cheerleader. 

    This is a valid point.

  8. My granddad used to drink tea-coke out of a saucer. Mix Coca-Cola with iced tea. I have no idea how he came up with that combo, but it wasn't horrible.

    My great-grandfather used to drink coffee out of a saucer. He had the shakes real bad. Young County, this was.
  9. Saw a post on LinkedIn today. Proud graduate of the 9th ranked ExecutiveMBA Texum bulldog class of ‘20.  USNWR has them ranked at 44, UT at 12, and a host of bad ass schools between 1-25 or so.  I know a lot of bullshit goes into those deriving those rankings, but 9th?  In what, making up shit?   Yes aggy middle manager, you just graduated from the 9th best program in the country.  I really need to think of something I can sell them. 

    The idea of selling them something has legs, methinks.
