  1. A Korth, hell yeah. Not sure what makes them so special, but I'd "take" one if offered.
  2. Had dinner down in Deep Ellum over the weekend. Triple-D visited, Mexican food place 'Pepe and Mitos'. Great, great food. Found a spent 9mm casing in one of those paid parking lots. Every city has places where you have to be dialed in and very much aware of your surroundings. We were in Memphis on a recent college recruiting trip. Stayed downtown at the Peabody. Walked all over, down by the river, etc. Stepped around a few cracked out sidewalk zombies, but otherwise felt fine. Zoo was epic, and that area near it reminded me on the M-streets in Dallas. I'd steer clear of Beale street at night, but you could say the same for 6th in Austin
  3. In the Pantheon of parental pain around kids sports, cheer mom's can say a big fuck you to the rest of us. 6-8 hours for a two minute routine. Nope. They sit atop the mountain of "fuck this shit" supreme. Dad's I know don't even go anymore. They're out. Disney was fun for the kids. I preferred the rides at Universal.
  4. Lol. The massive cooler under the table isn't visible. The "beer pumpkin" was just to get everyone's attention. Definitely a conversation starter and a good way to meet new neighbors.
  5. Check the first page....
  6. Can't get enough of "We have ways of making you talk" WWII podcast. Two British guys. One is a historian and the other a comedian that happens to know his stuff. They turn out a ton of content, do long series formats and keep each episode close to an hour.
  7. My little Weber tailgater is indestructible. 20+ years old, great for burgers, dogs, etc. Last Halloween I had a bunch of leftover jalapeno & cheese venison sausage so I made a "Dad zone" at the house to hang out while their kids ran around the neighborhood. I bet we had a dozen guys in lawn chairs and went through most of the sausage and beer. *pumpkin is full of ice
  8. Alpha man Suburban hero Don't you already have an oven in your house?
  9. How is this news? It didn't "suddenly" become credible. Josh Rogin wrote and entire book about this. It was brought up at the time and dismissed away as wild conspiracy. In the wake of the SARS outbreak teams were actively investigating bats and potential viruses. The issue was the containment lab in Wuhan. The US Embassy Health and Science personnel sent three teams from 2017-2018 to meet with WIV scientists, including the infamous "Bat Lady". Upon learning how dangerous the understaffed lab was, two additional cables were sent to DC. Then Wuhan scientists themselves were hospitalized in 2019 with Covid-like symptoms US officials at the Beijing Embassy prompted alerts from the lab about a series shortage of trained technicians to safely operate such a high-containment lab. When it did "leak" into the open, the original scientists claiming it came from the wild were vested Chinese from the lab itself. It was EcoHealth head Peter Daszak that sent the original letter back to the US mirroring this narrative who's own scientists were working in tandem with them and tied together. GOF specifically, which Obama blocked domestically back in 2014, was being partially funded in China by the NIH.
  10. Doesn't A&M have that trademarked?
  11. I suffered through YEARS of it with both kids.
  12. So basically it's little kid soccer....
  13. Shit, Verdun is still killing people a hundred years later
  14. I wish all I had was a tire sensor issue. Fucking rats ate the fuel injector wiring harness on my truck. There's a grand. Next day truck's throwing multiple codes. Turns out the EVAP system is F'ed. I go back and forth and back and forth with the dealership. Got them down from $1,300 to $820. Still not fixed. Have to find the time to take it in. Such an asswhip.
  15. Late to the party - sweater-hitters are on point.
  16. It's pronounced allla-meeee-dah
  17. It’s not that bad. I can carry two big as kettlebells up and down and back and forth. It’s the hanging that is hard.
  18. If you really want to just say fuck my life, someone hit me with a car.....get or go to a gym with aerodyne bikes. Tabata's on an assault bike are puke worthy. Combined with farmers carries, oooffff.
  19. Look up Peter Attia and his suggestions for women and fitness as they age. Guy's amazing. Per Attia and others, muscle mass for women is hyper-critical as they age. VO2 Max, grip strength, mobility, bone density. All critical indicators of physical performance and a radical decrease in all-cause mortality factors. I used to scoff at heavy weight farmers carries. Now I can't get enough of it.
  20. Bring us back some...
  21. FBI had an old drill called the Tueller Drill they used to train agents with. It's up for some debate now, but the basic premise was someone with a knife/bat/etc. can cover 21 feet before you can clear your holster and get off a shot. If you are expecting it, sure you can make the shot. Out and about your normal life, I put some merit into it. Your brain can't process what is happening fast enough to react. But again, you "fell" to the level of training your subconscious, monkey brain remembers. And I remember the Kempo movie "The Perfect Weapon" having just about the baddest assest scene ever for the time when four dudes tried to take his wallet
