  1. Breakfast was always served with a mixture of peanut butter and maple syrup for the biscuits. Instead of a "full English" breakfast, we had a "full Mexia".
  2. Interesting, I didn't know they left Alabama outside of going to the Georgia Dome or for other bluebloods. Here's their future P4 schedule 2025: @ FSU, Wisconsin 2026: @ West Virginia, FSU 2027: West Virginia, @ Ohio State 2028: Ohio State, @ Oklahoma State 2029: @ Notre Dame, Oklahoma State 2030: @ GaTech, Notre Dame 2031: GaTech, @ BC 2032: Arizona, @ Minnesota 2033: @ Arizona, Minnesota
  3. I don't know if it's hard or just something that teams avoided for Ws. BU has home/home the next four years with Auburn and Oregon which were scheduled AFTER the Briles fallout, so it certainly seems doable for most teams. I don't see many true bluebloods traveling to most B12 locations though as teams like Ohio State fill their P4 requirements with other bluebloods like UT, Georgia, and Bama. Edit: and it looks like Ohio State is playing @BC and UT plays @ ASU in a few years, so I guess places that are major travel destinations will get some blueblood travel.
  4. It's no East Bernard.
  5. Bumping for anyone that likes puzzle games. It's a slow burn but fantastic.
  6. Jello salads, while an abomination in their whole form, do give kids the ability to eat the Jello around whatever is making up the "salad". I took a lot of pride as a child in being able to enjoy one successfully.
  7. Yall are wild. Whataburger is wildly inconsistent (and always has been to me), but McDonald's burgers don't even taste like real burgers.
  8. Oblivion remake is out right now! Looks pretty good if you're into it. Oh, and it's also Steam Deck verified.
  9. That 4.01 (APY) savings is much more fun to keep up with right now than the brokerage or 401k account.
  10. Any social media talk about JD Vance using the righteous power of right wing God to kill the lefty antichrist in Rome? If not I'm surprised.
  11. They're going to throw us a wildcard with a Crusading Pope.
  12. Weirdly enough I hit that rut 18 years ago in the required REL 1310 at Baylor as a freshman where they treat The Bible as literature instead of as scripture and were taught about how the Baptist traditions of authorship and all that are just not historically accurate. I remember sitting in class and thinking "well shit" when going over the age of the Gospels for the first time. Great Texts courses there just further entrenched that skepticism with the common themes from Mesopotamia that were centuries before the Old Testament and were rather obviously incorporated into the Abrahamic religions later on. I view these moments as key points in my life where it really checked my ego into, "you aren't that special cosmically" and also gave me a healthy distrust of anyone claiming to have all the answers.
  13. I absolutely love sitting down at a restaurant at the end of the day with 2,500 calories to go and some tired ass legs. It really ties the day together.
  14. The lesson moving forward is to only take cold hard cash, in advance, for services from the United States. Well until the dollar officially crashes then only take Swiss francs.
  15. Not at the Wichita Falls School of Christianity and Buc-ee's Services™️
  16. I wish they would replace the North American game with Kingsville (they play a noncon vs Northwest Missouri State that day). That would've been fun for their first season.
  17. Don't affect is life? He had to press "English" on the ATM the other day.
  18. Now it's me that looks like a loser!
  19. Djurgården making the semis of Conference with Betis, Chelsea, and Fiorentina is cool.
  20. Get you the tightest Houston Dynamo jersey you can fit into for the next appointment.
  21. I really like China Family on Airport's version, but I've learned to embrace the hunt through the chiles for any leftover chicken or peanuts.
  22. Next time you're down at MDA go to Mala Sichuan and get the Spicy and Crispy Chicken which is my favorite meal on this planet. When I was taking my grandfather to MD Anderson after graduating from BU, in my bum unemployment year, they were treating him for multiple cancers on the same day which was a thing of beauty but took some time. I got me an annual pass to the Houston Zoo and would chill there on nice days while he was getting his treatment and if the weather was bad then I'd just wait in the lobby and see how many elephantmen came through. Always somebody worse off.
