  1. Josh Pate seems to have figured it out. aggie football s the ultimate click bait content. 1. Write a few preseason articles about how good they are going to be and the article will get clicked and sent to every other aggie they know. This gets you immediate clicks and it makes a know commodity to aggie fans for the follow up...... 2. Write up a new article once the aggies have played the three sisters of the poor in September and are undefeated and those aggie fans will be clicking all up on your shit. Retweeting everything you say. 3. When the wheels of the aggie season eventually fall off in October, you get the dead cat bounce of clicks when the opposing fans come click your earlier article to remind you how terrible your prediction was. 4. Near the end of the season, write another article about how badly they underperformed against expectations and the aggie fans click it to lament and the opposing fans eat it up. 5. Profit????
  2. Excuse me? That is 'Lectric Leeland to you, sir.
  3. I feel like Biden's team should be spending more effort in distinguishing between how much we have sent in cash payments and new purchases and clearly break out the dollar values for older retired equipment being sent. The average idiot just keeps seeing "Another $5B in aid sent to Ukraine" and thinks that is why the elevator doesn't work at DFW.
  4. Rundberg is probably the leader in the clubhouse, but Manor Rd/183 will be on the podium.
  5. What does the Statesman have to do with "actual journalism"? I think they ceased that about 20 years ago.
  6. SEE!!! THE FUCKING BALLOONS WERE SPREADING IT!!!
  7. Why is this hard to understand? Strong wind breaks tree. Tree falls on power line. Power outage. Am I missing sarcasm or something here?
  8. I think we'd all agree to give the whole of Victoria, Texas to any nation that wants it.
  9. Armybrat is Billy Dee Williams?
  10. I bet that every time he plays golf, he shoots an 18.
  11. I don’t think this thread is the place for it, nor the other China thread, but I’d love to see the surly collective take on this topic.
  12. Well it appears that we are already half way complete and #3 seems to be coming soon.
  13. Well, one of them was apparently conveniently stolen a few years ago. If you believe the defense, that exact weapon was then used to kill wife and son. Was that rifle ever reported stolen to the police? I don't believe it was ever conclusively proven that the Murdaugh's actual guns killed them. Only that the gun and ammo used to kill them was consistent with guns and ammo that the Murdaugh's had owned at some point. And that the guns/ammo were fairly unique.
  14. Seems like they are just stalling to get through the day so they can come in tomorrow with a night to prepare their real questions.
  15. Watched the Netflix about this family last night. Holy fucksticks they are crazy. Dead gay kid, dead maid, dead teenage girl, dead wife, dead son.
  16. I moved here in 1983. In 1984, Lake Travis was as low as it is right now (639'). In 1985, I slid down the 18th fairway of Yaupon Golf Course in several inches of snow.
  17. I'm more concerned that someone thinks that the escalator working at DFW has shitall to do with the US Government helping Ukraine fight a war.
  18. There is traffic enforcement in Austin. The problem is that is in only performed in two places and only at rush hours. North MOPAC and South MOPAC. You can see 3-4 officers shooting radar North MOPAC between 183 and Parmer every single weekday morning. These locations allow them to write a lot of tickets in a condensed area in a short amount of time. So when more pedestrians die on surface streets downtown or in the neighborhoods and on the arterials like congress, burnet, lamar, etc, and the public gets back in an uproar about lack of traffic enforcement, Chacon can print out the report and say, "Look, we wrote 1 brazillion tickets last month, which is on par with every other years. We're doing our part!" But no one ever notices that those tickets were all written to people going 70 mph in a 65 mph zone on a freeway, where there is never any traffic complaints or deaths and all of the known traffic issues and red light running continues to occur in all of the same places it has always happened.
  19. Local Police Chiefs from all of the Austin suburbs were telling that joke pretty much the entire time Art held the position in Austin.
