    Ah, to be so young and naive.

    Here’s a conspiracy theory. The food industry pushed for a change to Best Buy Dates because it would cause confused consumers to replace foods earlier than they would with hard expiration dates. Case in point is milk. I usually add a splash of milk to my coffee. I can always tell when milk is starting to sour because it stops mixing smoothly in coffee, it starts to curdle. That’s how I always knew when to dump it out without even tasting it. Under the old expiration dates, that used to be pretty much that day or the day after. With BBDs, I’ve gone a week or more past that date without any problems using it in my coffee. Meat and poultry is a different story. It starts to smell and look funky at 12:01am after the Use Or Freeze By Date.

    Almost Old here with a rebuttal. My kids (age 23-30) and their spouses/whatever come over for meals and they are always looking at the Best By Date on foods. If it’s one day past the BBD, they question if it’s okay to eat because it’s “expired.” No, it’s not EXPIRED, gotdammit. And no, we don’t keep foods that are well past their BBD…usually, that is. /end olds rant

    My wife always asks, “Will you do something for me?” My answer every time is, “Probably. What?” I’m a man of few words

    Those are my wife’s Texas relatives. Not staged.

    My wife read something about that, too, but we keep calling it a cordilleran. This is what Wiki says, but it’s not perfectly up to date: This bird is virtually identical to the Pacific-slope flycatcher. These two species were formerly considered a single species known as western flycatcher. The species were split by the American Ornithologists’ Union in 1989.[2] The Pacific-slope flycatcher is a breeding bird of the Pacific Coast forests and mountain ranges from California to Alaska; the Cordilleran is a breeding bird of the Rocky Mountains. They have different songs and calls. They can’t make up their minds.

    We have a cordilleran flycatcher nest by our patio. They were frequently dive bombing us, and we thought it was because we were too close to the nest. Then, one day, a fly landed on my calf and I was slowly moving my hand over to swat it when one of the flycatchers flashed by and grabbed the fly right off my leg, making no contact with my skin. We began to notice that what they were doing was picking off insects that were hovering near us.

    We’ll, that’s intimidating as hell.

    I mentioned to my wife the other day that I wondered why none of the scores of birds that visit our feeders ever seem to get fat. This morning, there were a bunch of red crossbills at a feeder and one female on the ground beneath the feeder. She was so fat that she few off like an overloaded bomber on the Doolittle Raid while the others few off vertically and effortlessly. I guess my initial assertion was wrong.

    Sounds like you may think I’m defending, Fitzgerald, but I’m not. I was responding to someone on Twitter trying to inject racist haircut rules into a hazing story. Then someone implying that it must be true because it appeared in the school newspaper. I believed my lying eyes that saw a wide variety of hairstyles on their roster. That wouldn’t shock me one bit.

    Probably dropped a slur.

    As a former next door neighbor (and friend) of a journalist who was at the forefront of one on the biggest scandals in journalism history, I agree wholeheartedly that they should never be questioned. My wife was a summa cum laude graduate of UT journalisn school, and it always bothered her that journalism wasn’t even a true profession. She eventually went to medical school, so that removed one irritation from her life.

    Judging from the player photos, the haircut accusations are b.s. In fact, it appears that the black players have wider ranging hairstyles than the white players.

    Texans are super duper normal.

    I would’ve named it “humping,” but I’m a literal type.
