  1. [csb] Almost 30 years ago some buddies and I had been out drinking and decided we needed some late night grub when the bars closed. We hit up the waffle house who had the All You Can Eat option going at the time. We had all been through a plate two and decided to push it for one more round. Keep in mind there are the 5 or 6 of us at 1 booth and 1 guy by himself sitting at the bar. It's probably 3:30 AM by this point. We hear this monstrous sneeze and look up to see the cook shaking his head after having sneezed straight onto the griddle full of our food and then just go back to flipping things with this spatula. About 5 minutes later our food was delivered. We were sober enough by that point to just pay our bill without eating it. We still laugh about it when we get together. [/csb]
  2. We received forgiveness notice for Round 1 today. We only had to wait about 230 days. ha ha
  3. clearly a fugue state
  4. Sorry for you and your family's loss. RIP Mama Brisket
  5. Interesting thought but I'd guess our friends at the NCAA might have issues with any sort of official relationship. If a concept like this was allowed it would certainly favor the Big State U type of schools as most private schools and even non-flagships state schools don't have satellites (or at least not D-1 satellites). Now unofficially I don't see why something couldn't be arranged as long as UTSA saw the benefit of picking up some guys they might not otherwise get but have the risk of losing them in a year or two.
  6. Forgot about this. I got the X-Chair HMT in late January. I like it and it's comfortable. Massage is good, heat is so so. Probably a bit overpriced (1,200 - 1,300) but it seems like all chairs are. The lumbar adjustment is a little bit strange in that it slides up a 5 point scale and locks in place at each point on the way up but when it reaches the top it releases and falls all the way back down to spot 1. Often when I stand up that lumbar section catches on my butt as I'm standing (raising it all the way to the top so that it releases as falls back down to position 1) so I have to readjust it to the correct spot when I sit back down. Not difficult but a little annoying. Overall happy with it but I'd be happier if it had cost about half as much.
  7. Backfired for me last night. I ordered while on my way home during a thunderstorm. Paid in app, got confirmation notice reminding me to check in when I arrived with my spot number. Pulled in to location to find that the power in a 5 block radius was out. No whataburger for me... Waiting on my refund... ¡pobrecito!

    REK

    Filed amongst the things I don't understand is how the Chili Peppers can sell their catalog for 160 Million while REK needs to refinance his house to make payroll for his 10 person company. Maybe no one outside of those who attended UT, TAMU or TTU between 1985-2000 has ever heard of him so the base is so small it doesn't really pay. I could understand it if he had just blown all the money on shenanigans but I've never had that impression with him. Maybe he needs to start producing NFTs. Surprises me.
  9. Wulaw, if the sex tent isn't pitched in the yard by nightfall (with no explanation to the wife) I and all of Surly will be disappointed in you.
  10. What sort of communist shithole do you live in? City fields not accessible to Little Leaguers? What do they think this is 2020 or something? Good luck!!
  11. Will you have to schedule the sexy time during a 1 hour massage or are you sending her for the "day at the spa" while you take care of it? SB thread is that way.
  12. Definitely no expert on this, but I'm shocked that at your weight and activity level that you aren't still losing relatively rapidly at 1500 calories per day. How are you getting your calories. Can you post a representative sample of of a few days of what you eat and drink?
  13. Another The Crown watcher checking in. No doubt in my mind that Charles asked the, "how dark will the baby be?" question. As it pertains to the, "the new baby will not have a title, nor security" issue, I took that to have been discussed / decided while she was pregnant with him. This would have been before they stepped away. That seemed to be one issue that led to them wanting to move away from being "Senior" members of the royal family to "junior" members or whatever it was called. I can't say I blame them on that. Sounded like they were already being treated as junior so wanted to make it official and ideally be able to live their life in a little more 'normal' fashion than those of the "senior" members. Back to things learned from The Crown... pretty much every "senior" member of the royal family (except the sitting monarch) is straight fucked from having a life whose primary purpose is this mythical / mysterious responsibility to protect the monarch, while literally nothing would happen if the monarchy no longer existed in this day and age. Also, I can't wait for the Saturday Night Live take on this whole thing. 🤣
  14. I can't believe the adjuster is saying to wait. Getting them engaged pronto is critical. Agree with LD, take a bunch of pics / video, etc. and then start the process of getting the water removed and pipe repaired. Mold is NOT your friend.
  15. I have read a little about this and I'm interested but I'm struggling to see the "value" in this. Cryptocurrencies are exchangeable for other things while these seem to be an attempt at a novel way to create something of value. I am but a simple man and as a result I will most likely miss out on the untold fortunes to be made in owning a glorified .gif
  16. I think Macanudo-ette #2 is still underage
  17. Yes, I've heard 2nd hand of people who had NG generators systems in the Houston area this week that have basically been useless. I don't fully understand that, nor did the person who told me the story. Thoughts?
  18. Store #6590 Store phone number - 979-822-7344 If you meant something else please let me know and I can try to find it
  19. Have a friend who got Moderna dose 1 on Monday at a CVS in college station. Drove through the ice / snow to get there, system down at location when she arrived but they gave her the shot. Then yesterday she gets an email that her dose 2 appointment set for mid March has been cancelled. No other explanation. She called the location who passed her to the national CVS number. The national CVS number passed her to the CVS Covid hotline who told her "sorry but all appointments are booked, but that new appointments might open between now and then. Good luck." Anybody have ideas of other ways to address this? Anybody have a CVS hookup that might get a better response than "sorry and good luck"?
  20. 119 in Phoenix back in the late 90s and -39 in Calgary in 2006. Landed in Calgary that afternoon, checked in to hotel and my co-worker and I planned to walk across the street (literally) for dinner. As we walked out the doorman asked if he could get us a cab. We said, we are just walking right over there (pointing to the restaurant) and he said "are you sure"? We said we were sure and then realized our mistake by the time we reached the corner but were too prideful to turn back. We did get a cab to go back to the hotel after dinner though.
  21. As a show of solidarity with my power deficient Surly brothers I just turned off some auxiliary lighting in a room we never go into. For real though, I hope everyone gets their power back on soon. Heard from a friend a bit ago who moved to a hotel only to have the power go out at the hotel about an hour after he and his family checked in.
  22. Blanket rolls up with all these features also. My wife graduated in a class of 14 kids from there about 30 years ago. The Valedictorian (not my wife) went into labor 15 minutes after the graduation ceremony ( I swear it's true )
