Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Ugh, I think I'm still hungover from that shit-tastic game/season....

Live in Frisco. Saw Swoopes at the Kroger on Legacy & Lebanon years back when we spent a brief stint with the Cowboys. Yelled out "SWOOOOOOPS" from across the produce section and flashed the horns. He smiled. Flashed them back. The end. Always liked the guy.

Or that Simms utterly and absolutely owned aggy soup to nuts. Lit them on fire and shit on the ashes

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Yeah, I was there. Only thing that I can remember topping it in person was the VY comeback against Ok St. That was electric!!!!

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Was that the Ok State game when Texas got ass fucked by the refs and the defensive holding penalty on Poona?

Not on such a stage. Win, and the team is in. Coupled with a heartbreaking comeback that fell short....it was agonizing.

"Maybe" - if he doesn't shit the bed against CU in the championship and Texas goes to the MNC, he's idolized. Then Major orchestrates a hell of a comeback, then balls out again in the bowl game and his reputation is set. It was the bowl game at the Cotton Bowl when AR shredded his knees that things changed. He rehabbed all summer, so Simms got the nod to practice with the 1st team and why Simms was the started going into his season.

I think it was more that he was a local kid who'd been a Texas fan since childhood who came in on the tail-end of some historically bad QB play

He was overrated considering how much adoration he received. We all knew Swoopes, Heard, etc. were limited and failed early and often....paving a long road of expectations and hope. Sam performed marginally better and everyone went full aggy-savior, putting this guy on a pedestal way above his actual performance.

Oh, come now - you're so good at the Godwin label argument. Going back to W. It's your thing.

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
So we've moved on from Gavin Newsome doing the exact same thing because a struggling company dared to state why they are leaving a certain state. Cool. Or prior examples going back decades. And, to be fair you also have a favorite book
-
Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
They picked a fight "first"? They never picked a fight at all. When companies leave markets - they state why. So you have no issues with Gavin inserting himself into the conversation with snarky insults because of why they stated that they are leaving for states with better economic/regulatory environments? As for trolling businesses? The WH has been trolling businesses going back to the 30's. This idiotic rebranding has erased over $90M in market value and $200 in capitalization.

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
Those are two different accounts. But i get the point of the WH trolling CB. But that's what it is, trolling. As Newsome did with BB&B. They called out that they are leaving the state due to regulatory issues and state difficulties. They never directly called Newsome out, who then...trying to be "Trumpish", decided to go after them directly.
-
Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
You sure about that? That Trump called it "woke" directly?

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
It's not political to me - it's rehashed corporate fuckery when a new "leader" comes in and feels the need to put their fingerprint on worthless shit that doesn't need changing. You want to get most patrons attention, start selling even cooler shit in the gift shop. Contract with RTIC or YETI. Start selling fishing and outdoor gear. Take a page out of the modern hunting apparel playbook and brand cool hunting gear/clothing like Carhart and Dickey's did. Shit, I'd rock a camo Cracker Barrel shirt during dove season. Cater to the rural "frat bros" and red dirt country kids that could make CB "cool" again.

National importance? Seems he's trolling them and the stupidity of such a trivial change that subsequently tanked their stock. Or did you also take umbrage with Gavin Newsome trolling Bed bath & Beyond for moving out of state? I will fight you.....;)

Report: 14 billion dollar deal for Bullet train from Houston to Dallas is done
Nothing like a simple plan involving "rolling back regulatory barrier and bureaucrats". Tell me how it goes Then change the law and get back to us on your progress This is simplistic. I'm talking about city designs, specifically post WWII sprawl and the advent of the Federal-Aid Highway act. Highway location and designs, infrastructure all geared for the automobile and cities zoned specifically to separate residential, commercial, & industrial specifically because everyone had cars. If you want to pitch this in the much more congested and older NE cities, be my guest. So you want to bring back coal-fired steam engines. Great point.

And how do you propose to mitigate this going forward at scale? You can't even build a simple, short route that is even remotely affordable. The horse is out of the barn, people aren't giving up their cars at scale nor are these "regulatory capture" issues going to just go away.

Reconcile this. With this? You have less than a 200 mile stretch that costs more than a fifth of what our entire road system costs, and you think this is scalable? Or that it's a one-off that won't replicate in other projects?

Listening to a podcast about the early air marshals post-9/11. They had a provision in their contract that they could "shoot" their way to a larger salary, ie., timed shots on the range. EX. Shoot a 2.4, maybe your base is $50K. but lower the time to a 2.2, maybe now you make $56K, etc. Drop below 2.0, you make even more.

Nobody gives two shits about a logo change - it's change for the sake of some CEO mouth breather coming and and pointing to "see, look what I did" shit. See earlier example of Pizza Hut. The premise that it's "about staying relevant across digital platforms" is just stupid. It's fucking Cracker Barrel. You only go there because it has a cool gift shop, it's right off the highway, and it's not fast food in a gas station. There - the three legs of the your marketing stool of genius.

What "kids" are going to CB of their own volition that aren't in the store because they are almost always off the HWY and make for a decent place to stop on a road trip with their parents. Cant' remember a time I didn't get breakfast there at all hours of the day. Every time I'm there....

They're pigs. If you can procure some military ball ammo, try that if you feel safe running it in your rifle. Zips through most anything. Wacked an oinker years back with an old M1 Garand will ball ammo. Sleepy pig had two small holes on each side. If you let the air out of them, they take naps.....:)
