Jiggy-Z

Not reading everything to see if recommended. The Tourist. 2 seasons. Good reviews. 6 episode seasons. Pretty dense without a bunch of useless filer. Good action. Good character development. No tits.

Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted on the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you.

So does that mean Mary's parents were also free of original sin and so on and so on?

Interesting story from my childhood. I will preface it with caveat that whatever hoaxes, chain mails, and rumors were around before the internet, someone in my large catholic family would find them and repeat as fact. Growing up in Austin during 70s and 80s we moved 4 times but were never particularly close to an HEB. HEB was not the regional grocery behemoth it is today either so we were not really HEB customers. Back in the day it was pretty well known that the Butt family were pretty hard assed baptists and I recall some rumors of them going above and beyond the call for the enforcement of the blue laws at the time especially in the booze department. What I do remember occurring on many occasions during in state vacations is avoiding HEB altogether...usually when we were trying to get to someplace fun where whatever we needed at HEB would have been the most convenient option. My mom would always tell me it was because a few years back, old man Butt was most persistent in his insistence that some catholic priest down in south Texas was a pedophile even after local cops dropped their investigation. Mom would always attribute his actions to the fact that he hated catholics so we wouldn't shop there. I'd say old man Butt was right on the money except for the facts that it was not just one catholic priest and it wasn't just south Texas and it wasn't just a few years back.

Solid flick. Would not pay full theater prices to see again tho. The ahole on my row who decided to take his socks and shoes off may have had something to do with that. I was really hoping for some Lawrence of Arabia type shots in there, but alas, I those days are behind us.

Not sure if mentioned elsewhere: We finally made our way to the movie theater to catch Dune 2 last night. We had seats in the top row at the movie house eatery type place. Next to us was a gal and then her boyfriend both solidly in their middle 40's. They had their feet propped up on the recliner stools, were holding hands and generally making googly eyes at each other. Dude apparently thought he was at home because he had removed his shoes and socks. Not only would I not like this person, but I wanted to kick his ass right there. Fortunately, by the end of the movie I was more pissed off about paying $7.50 for each coke my kids ordered and forgot all about Shoeless Joe Jackdewsh.

Spring Solstice?

Also, so common and ubiquitous was the Rockford Files opening, that even in the mid 80's I was able to a bit on it: This is Jim Rockford, after the tone leave a message. Jimmy, this is Angel, I just left your place, yeah I have a key, but we can sort that out. Anyway I took a dump and th toilet overflowed, but there was no plunger. Sorry about that.... Bu da dump.....

Made a trip to Universal studios back in 1976 as a kid. Jaws and a little known Robert Shaw flick called Swashbucker were all the rage. I snapped a photo of the Rockfordmobile while there. Will post up next time I visit mom. BTW. Great vibes from the theme. I known it was Mike Post et al but sounds like a combo of Eagles and French horn

Misogyny?!?!, she won't even return my phone calls!!!

My two youngest last May. We were doing some clothes shopping for a banquet. I had them don some "America, fuck yeah!!!" apparel under guise of wanting to send the pic to their mom, who really, really hates that shit. Never sent, but I have blackmail material and Surly fodder.

Holy shit!!! Ha ha ha. Laughed my ass off.

I think I'm already in a gang. The one that controls Durango, whoever that is.

That little arm thing sticking down on the right support looks like an afterthought or a giant book. I can't really tell.

Don't you know the sherif is DE...

Hands too big. Obvious fake. WNB(buy).

We stayed in Molde with some friends and drove that road to Kristiansund 3 times during our stay with them. Lots of scary bridges and underwater tunnels. Pics of Norwegian women's. LOL.

I assumed it would be playing in the background. My bad.

Tragic bridge collapse with lives lost, billions in damages, regional commerce interrupted, and global tensions elevated... ...surly of course takes a deep dive into Norwegian tail with a preemptive rejection of pics and dash of Uncle Rico for good measure along with some hearty scary bridge oneupmanship.

It's actually not that bad. The span is not that long and the photos make it seem much worse than it is. That turn is freaky though. The weather can be dicey. Which is why it took 6 years to build....and unlike in the US, it's estimated 15 year toll payback period was completed in 10 years and after that, get this, they actually stopped tolling. It's an amazing drive and there is a visitors center on the north side of the bridge. Pic I took. I don't know that dude in front. Just some random Eurotrash.

The one on the middle is using the other two for protection. Smart.

Some bridge nightmare fuel from Norway. Have done this one multiple times.

Yep. He is pretty passed and told me not to tell anyone. His secret us safe with me since nobody reads Surly.

Not me, but my business partner: About 13 years ago his daughter and last remaining child living in the house was finishing up medical tech school and was planning on moving out. In anticipation of not having tuition or a child in the house to pay for, he started work on his dream man cave. He tore down the old garage and rebuilt it and redid all of the drive with some pretty cool hard scape work. Inside he had a kitchen, bath, and open area where he put his new pool table. All surfaces were hard and could be washed down with a hose if need be. It even had floor drains. The fridge was stocked with plenty of beer and nothing else. Antlers and other hangings not suitable for the house were placed about the room and got it just like he wanted. He even beat cancer during this time. Life was good. Well, the daughter did not move out, so while she was living there no crazy parties were allowed. Eventually, daughter met someone and he had to fork over a bunch of money for the wedding. Like 30 grand or something. But it would be worth it he thought, just so she could be out on her own with her husband making their way in the world. Unbeknownst to him, his wife promised them they could live at home to save money. So the man cave had to be converted to a residence. All new flooring, new kitchen, new bath, new bedroom walls, closet walls, and lighting. Pool table had to go to storage along with all of the other trappings. He thought it would be ok after a few years when they moved out after saving some money for a house. Well, that day never came because his daughter freaked out and got a divorce 6 months after getting married. So daughter moves back into the house and garage apartment sits empty. So after about a year when the coast is clear, business partner converts garage apartment back into a man cave. Walls are torn down, new flooring, new kitchen, new bath Yada Yada yada. All the while, daughter is still living at home. He has been enjoying his man cave for a few years now worry free. His daughter even met another guy a few years back and he has a good job so her days at home are numbered. So last week on Thursday, he doesn't show up for our usual beer drinking meeting even though he says he would be coming right over (he basically lives across the street from our office/yard). So I walk on over to see what's up and he and his wife are under the man cave patio-talking. I can tell I am interrupting, so say my hellos and leave. The next day I apologize for interrupting and he just shakes his head. He says his wife told him that his daughter wants to buy a house and move out and wants to move in with her boyfriend to save money. He asked where they were moving and his wife tells him, she said it would be ok if they moved into the man cave, after it was converted back into an apartment. Face palm.

No spoiler but eposode 2: lol at the soldiers rehydrating all the womens first. Wink wink.
