High Plains Drifter

Kid wears don't tread on me flag. School treads on kid. Sounds like the school was doing a pretty good job of teaching exactly what the flag means.

Heard some talking voice on NPR claiming the savings if you are on medicare will somehow trickle down to the non-medicare masses, at least a little.

Hey asshole, its been over a year, and I'm still waiting on that phone call.

Any of you old timers ever participate in the Lake Austin Raft Race? I believe it was part of Aquafest. Friend of mine and I built a small two man raft out of two lawn chairs and a couple of old inner tubes. We paddled around from one giant floating raft party to another. At some point, our raft just fell apart and we ended up just floating on inner tubes. People had kegs, water cannons, water balloon slingshots (more than one person watching from Congress or 1st street bridge took one in the face). Lots of topless babes, drunkenness, and general debauchery. Fun times. Probably the thing I miss most about "old Austin" was going out to Hamilton Pool on a weekday and being the only people there. Or at most only 1 or 2 other small groups. Once you got on Hamilton Pool road past the intersection with 12, you might not have seen another car on the road. And if you did, it would be some old beat up pick up. In high school we'd ditch class at lunch on Fridays in the spring and either go there or to Pace Bend Park (then called Pale Face Park) on Lake Travis and get high and drunk and cliff dive. Come home sun burnt and I'd tell my parents it was because of being in the sun during track practice. They either believed me or didn't care. Anyway, I say old Austin died was whenever cops started actually giving you tickets (or worse) when they caught you with booze and you were underage instead of just making you pour it out.

They make it a pain in the ass hoping you will just give up and buy it yourself.

Best product placement ever: Slim Pickens eating a can of Wolf brand chili. IIRC, American Werewolf in London was pretty good also.

Knock at the Cabin was not a horror, thriller, slasher, or anything else that could be considered "scary" in the least. It was a pile of dogshit. Actually, that's not fair to dogshit-- dogshit doesn't put me to sleep, nor do I laugh at dogshit.

IIRC, The convo between joe and Obama went something like this: Joe: I want to buy (or start, whatever) a plumbing company, but your taxes are going to make that impossible. Obama: You will only pay these taxes if you make more than $200,000 a year. Joe: I could make over 250,000 a year with this plumbing company... Obama: If you make that much, then its not too much to ask that you give a little back to help out all the other folks who don't make that much. Joe: Why should the government decide who I help out? Narrator: Joe never made anything close to 200K per year in his entire life, either before or after he "confronted" Obama. So Joe never paid those taxes, nor did he ever help out anybody. And he wasn't a plumber. He was a plumber's assistant, and never made it past that. Literally, every word out of Joe The Liar's mouth was either a flat out lie, or complete horseshit, or both. And the R's amplified it, stirred up the morons with it, and made it a rallying cry. A rallying cry based on bullshit and lies. eidt to add: From Yo's link: “He was an average, honorable man trying to do great things for the country he loved so deeply after being thrust into the public eye for asking a question.” This bitch is as full of shit as Joe was. "Honorable." Lol. Newsflash: If you don't wan to be "thrust" into the public eye, don't argue with the president. And if you love your country so much, PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES.

never gets old.

so has L.

asked.. and answered.

yeah, what Bif said. Weather should be awesome. Best time of the year weather wise for that area imo.

To answer somebody's question earlier in the thread (I'm not reading through this abortion to find the actual post): Ate at subway on friday (yeah, I know) and they have that "add a tip thing" on their credit card machine. I asked the dude if they actually get those tips, and he said its split between all the employees who are on the clock at the time the card is run.

Hey its a free country, sorta, but just know you would less like a dipshit in a 3 piece suit.

My daughter's school had to add "no pajama pants" in the their official school dress code. Also added this year, "no house shoes" and "no shower shoes." Anybody who lets their kids wear pajamas or shower or house shoes to school should be publicly shamed.

I refuse to vote in a poll that does not have "fupm" as an option. I also refuse to vote in a poll as god-damned stupid as this one.

what are you talking about? On the website they very helpfully provided a link to google maps with a waypoint marking the caribbean sea. that google maps thing showing me where the location of the Caribbean Sea was very helpful.

its so beautiful

They just want to be in second place so when DoTaRD croaks on the shitter in a few months, they are the frontrunner

MAGAGA?

20 stones
