  1. Just buy anything what will fit (25x20x1) and stick it in there for a day or two while the correct one arrives. It won't catch everything but will be better than nothing or leaving the old dirty one in place.
  2. I'm not sure that people are "surprised" that it floods, I think it is just a "surprise" when "the big one / 100 year flood / etc." actually happens. We all have become accustomed to the tornado warning / flash flood warning and then nothing of significance happens, or at least it doesn't impact our little universe. Unfortunately, every once in a while the "worst case" happens. We all know it is possible, but we get lulled to complacency and then hit in the face with a shovel when it happens. The reaction probably looks alot like surprise. Often times something like this will lead to an "overreaction" (some would say appropriate response) to the next threat ... Think the Houston evacuation clusterfuck for Hurricane Rita after Katrina destroyed New Orleans. Then when "the worst" doesn't happen we go back to the ignore / assume things will be ok part of the cycle until Hurricane Harvey hits at which point the vigilance returns. Wash, rinse, repeat. Hopefully at least some progress will be made in each cycle to make the next "worst case" event less deadly / traumatic. As an aside, I'll bet the Taco Bell in Belton could tell some stories.
  3. Please share with the class.
  4. If you haven’t seen it, go watch “Under the Banner of Heaven” streams on Hulu, based on a book by John Krakauer https://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/under-the-banner-of-heaven
  5. @kingkoopa6 You look like you're railing the Dean from behind while eyeballin' her significant other... and giving an inspirational speech. Bravo!!!
  6. Had not heard of this. Thanks.
  7. longer version, but had some additional interesting info... https://www.pga.com/archive/news/golf-buzz/how-par-became-golf-term
  8. Can get through any large city by car in a few minutes regardless of traffic.
  9. I used to work with a South African who would say, "It's a one day game" when he wanted someone to speed something up. I asked him what he meant and he explained that cricket can be played in 3 or 5 day games but that they also have a one day version in which everything is sped up (they reduce tea breaks, have a fixed number of rounds, etc.) I throw it out from time to time around friends from the cricket playing parts of the world. I feel like it adds to my general aura of sophistication.
  10. Love to know what she said to the catcher and if there is history there.

  13. I was today years old when I learned that George Wendt is Jason Sudeikis' uncle. I would say I will "pour one out" for Norm, but that would be sacrilege so I will stick with a simple RIP Norm!!
  14. There's a former Longhorn hitting coach, who already has p4 head coaching experience, who may be available soon...
  15. I wouldn't say we're doing exactly nothing...
  16. I saw it online 10+ years ago. I don't remember who it was referencing but it was some poor dude who had it on a pedestal. Somebody commented that the chick must have a tear gas pussy. After a few people asked what that meant he said, "pussy so good it will make you cry!!" I laughed then and every now and then you see a story like this, to which it really is the only logical explanation.
  17. Rory’s burnt orange shirt is nice🔥 . Post a link if you find for sale please.
  18. As will they, when LSU shows up the same day.
