  1. My house is 100% electric, so fingers crossed that the power stays on this time. I noticed this morning that my 2yo American Standard HVAC was blowing cold air. The outside fan had frozen. I knocked some of the ice loose and thankfully it came back to life. I Macgyvered a little shelter for it from an old camping table, some bricks, and chewing gum, and a paper clip...all while standing in ankle deep water in the dark. I'll likely have to babysit it for the next 48 hours...assuming the grid holds up.
  2. That about sums it up for me. Guess we don't actually want CL season, and Europa is probably going to go down to the wire now, with everyone else actually improving their squads.
  3. There are three starting times for the next leg. They are the only team starting in the last time slot. That may or may not be an adequate penalty, depending on the gaps. On the other hand, they likely finished further behind the next to last place team than they will be forced to wait, but we have seen that may times before, where all teams end up with a fresh start due to transportation schedules or business openings. The only team that I see them possibly catching is Akbar and Sheri, unless someone else makes a huge navigation blunder.
  4. I'm just speculating here, but perhaps the fact that students are still on break, and we are in the middle of a COVID surge had a little impact on attendance.
  5. Most of mine have been mentioned, but a few more from my Dallas childhood: Next Door - had a weird Revolutionary War vibe, but was apparently owned by Pizza Hut; the cool factor was that you ordered by phone from your table Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour Baby Does Matchless Mine - it was behind the old Pearl/Coors/Salem/Kool waterfall billboard The Old Church - literally an old church turned into a burger joint in uptown, later became a Chips, not sure what it is now I was also going to include these, but they are apparently still around, though not in the locations I frequented: Chips Hamburgers Tolbert's Chili Parlor
  6. It's certainly encouraging. I still think Kidd will keep us from reaching our potential, but would love to be proven wrong.
  7. Never mind. Late to the party and someone stole my line, as always.
  8. My point was that I don't think he needed a pretext. He just needed the job to be offered.
  9. Yes, I'm sure CDC agonized for days before coming up with "hey Chris, wanna coach Texas?"
  10. Because Cowboys fans need another reason to hate Jerry Jones?
  11. Wordle 202 3/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  12. I've been binging it lately. She makes the show.
  13. My bad, I missed the "must gargle Guy's balls to post in this thread" line in the OP. If you are going to lamely attempt to associate me with some chick show, at least get the name right. While I'm no fanboy, I'd gladly watch Sex and the City over anything with Guy Fieri in it.
  14. That doesn't make me like him or admire his accomplishments. It makes me weep for the future...another small step toward Ow! My Balls!
  15. I'm aware of that, but his persona, whether or not it is real, comes across as a disingenuous mash up of Sammy Hagar and Larry the Cable Guy. I find some personalities grating, and his is one of them. It doesn't matter if he is a genuinely nice guy, he's annoying, at least to me.
  16. My neck just isn't red enough to tolerate him.
  17. I caught it yesterday. I enjoyed it overall, but thought it was a little flat in places and it felt like it was intended to be funnier than it was. I thought Jonah Hill was particularly weak, but maybe that's because he plays every role the same way. Still, it's definitely worth a watch.
  18. I don't care who he is, I'm not cleaning up another man's shit.
  19. She probably uses "about" instead of "scout" too. Bitch.
  20. I found the daily stats to be very informative, and they allowed me to ignore the shit posts. Since all we get now are the never-ending shit posts, it's intolerable. I still check it out of habit, but I need to kick that.
  21. Thanks, assholes, for turning what was once the most informative COVID thread on surly into another worthless shit flinging fest.
  22. I'm not one to sweat the rankings much, especially at this point in the season, but the poll makes no sense to me. We beat number 2 at their place, and they now have 2 losses. Our only loss was to number 7 in OT, also at their place where where they got a lot of home cooking. There are a lot of teams with worse résumés and the same number or more losses ranked ahead of us. We play better with a chip on our shoulder, so let the disrespect continue.
  23. I'm a little surprised that Amazon hasn't jumped into the fray yet. I would think adding standard local and cable offerings and a robust sports package would be an easy addition to the Prime content and add-on subscriptions they already offer.
