  1. Good to see the TCU football attendance counter getting work in the offseason.
  2. Pretty good almost as good as Midnight in Chernobyl.
  3. I decided to fill in all my missing King by reading in publication order and quickly added Carrie and Rage which were both good. I'm trying to decide now if I want to read all the short stories or just stick to the novels then circle back to the short stories later. I'm guessing that would hurt my Dark Tower books 3 through whatever I haven't read yet.
  4. Los Ángeles Azules Irving Aug 31st at 8PM. It'll be the first time I've missed the opening day of BU football since I was born in the 80s. It'll be alright.
  5. Not Isla or even Quintana Roo, but has anyone ever stayed at Chable Yucatan near Merida? Thinking about doing that for our next trip and it looks like a really chill place.
  6. Make the biscuits at home pretty often, but Red Lobster WAS fine dining as kids. "Put your church clothes on, it's your grandma's birthday and we're going to Red Lobster."
  7. I thought that Khamenei's son was tan, rested, and ready.
  8. Wayyyyy better man than me. I think I would respond with something like, "What do you mean? I've always been a Muslim. Some say the best of Muslims!"
  9. Might be some kind of Iranian Godzilla/Mothra situation.
  10. Well that'll end the drama in 2 minutes today.
  11. Does Tulsa have some blue areas too?
  12. Yeah shit the good place near us has "potatoe" in their translation attempt on the menu and I'm sure as shit not going to point out their Quayle.
  13. Is El Paso that bad? It's certainly an out there destination but they have a metro pop of 865k (Juarez is another 2.5 million people but they don't watch UTEP sports) and an easily accessible airport. That seems good enough for the SunBelt/MWC to me? I think it's more about the AD than El Paso itself.
  14. For real, the wife and I make 3x the average household salary from our region with degrees in History and Spanish. Sure, plenty of people want more than what we make and can get that with STEM, but you can also live comfortably with whatever degree interests you (which isn't @HookEm 's point but still worth noting).
  15. They were selling Indian food behind our section (102), but it was a special one off for Asian Appreciation Night or whatever. We ate at the Mexican place across the street instead of eating in the stadium, but the food in the stadium looked pretty bad....and also wet.
  16. Tentative plan is San Diego next year depending on schedule, but definitely want to hit those two up.
  17. FC Dallas has some cool giveaways including free beer and whisky samples in the stadium, but the atmosphere was certainly Friscoish. People were nice and the stadium itself is much nicer than the last time I was there a decade ago. Of the MLS stadium experiences I've been to it goes: 1.) Austin FC 2.) Sporting KC 3.) FC Dallas 4.) Houston Dynamo Hopefully I'll add another this summer but damn this team is still frustrating.
  18. Golden Chick's Wicked Wings with the Lotta Zing on the side is their best offering. I think both Bush's and Chicken Express have better tenders.
  19. Brookshire's fried chicken was a we just left church get in the car we're going to driving meal two or three times a year.
  20. Is there anyone on the Chester side of Chester's vs Krispy Fried for gas station fried chicken? I ate at the one that was in La Grange a ton growing up when we traveled down to the coast to see family.
  21. Not a nado, but not good if that continues for the Southern portion of the Metroplex.
