  1. You ordered steak at the shitty version of TGI Friday’s?
  2. I actually thought that during the comp, but he found out Bay had a power app, he gained trust that will almost certainly help him against that app, a Level 6 member was almost surely the replacement nominee, Rachel flipped out and went behind his back...so he learned how loyal she’ll be when stress hits, and he’ll win Brett back in 30 seconds by assuring him he had votes which is why he didn’t use the veto. Outside of a replacement nominee that he probably couldn’t pull off based on the Angela/Scotty probing, if he keeps Brett this was a great week for him. It’s actually a testament to how well he’s playing that on a week when his alliance goes down to 4, he got stronger.
  3. I think Tyler can get the votes by pointing out Rachel’s lack of trust and suggesting he trusts Brett and can convince the swing group he won’t put them up/will vote with them. I’d actually be surprised if Brett is evicted unless Tyler floated that idea, it didn’t gain traction, and he decided not to push it enough to impact his own game.
  4. I remember that joint (I think). It was close to the Cheesecake Factory in that it was in the Arboretum but was actually next door to TGI Friday's in that building that could never be the same thing for very long...was an On the Border, Cozymel's, something else before that (steak I think...Dan McClusky's maybe?). I think it's a Brazilian Steakhouse now if I'm thinking of the right building.
  5. There's room for this. For some reason, my kids love Applebee's. Of the places they'll pick for a family lunch on a Fall Saturday, I can do a hell of a lot worse than a high top in the bar, cold beer, and college football on a few TVs...even though the food sucks.
  6. The ones in airports are called Chili’s Too, Mr Sophisticated.
  7. In a drunken state in 2009, I was arguing with some UT buddies about who the Big 12 champion was in basketball the year before (this was north/south days, UT won in Austin, no game in Lawrence, technically tied with UT as the 1 seed in the conference tourney where KU beat UT in an great game, KU wins national title). Anyway, per the conference they split, which I knew, I was just being kind of an asshole cause I thought it was funny. What started as me teasing some buddies to induce a KU v UT for the conference title bet for the upcoming season turned into me taking KU vs the field about 8 ways for $100 per man. The participants have dwindled over time, but one UT guy is still taking that bet every year, bless his little heart.
  8. Played fine, but you can check the flop without being TOO outright suspicious. You have a few hands in your range for which you’ve just hit a monster but you have a few for which that’s an ugly board.
  9. It doesn’t have to be that well placed. It can be awkwardly jammed in out of nowhere like, oh say, off the top of my head here, Casino Island and Codebreaker.
  10. Yeah, make jokes. See what happens when the entire metaphysical, mystic community is upset with you.
  11. You can spend that already, there just isn’t a scenario that they get past 2 wins...Vegas just can’t make the number that low. It’s a market inefficiency, the opposite of, say not being able to make Patriots win totals high enough. I hold 3 limit bet tickets on the under (3, 3, 2.5) and don’t expect it to even be a sweat.
  12. They have a season win total of 3, so they’re STILL overvalued...but they could legit open the season with a loss to Nicholls State and make the books just crank the spreads up. They’re going to be historically bad this year, which sounds stupid under a coach that has 1 FBS win (sorry dudes) and is entering year 4.
  13. The producers didn't need to air that much of it. 2/3s of that discussion should have been on the cutting room floor.
  14. Or the pawn doesn't get voted out, you hit your target, they play their way back in, and now the pawn thinks you used the power on them and takes that info to your allies.
  15. She put up two bad competitors, maybe to beat the “chance to come back” wrinkle. If life coach goes, Sam can always tell smoke aggy she was a pawn that had the numbers. Most feelings are fixable in this game. Sam is dumb, though.
  16. Good call. On Seattle, they’re 20 games over .500 with a run differential of +1. They gotta be a fade when the price is decent moving forward.
  17. He was about a foot from the bunker and about a foot from perfect. I wouldn’t call it ending in a spot where he makes double anyway particularly lucky.
  18. Tiger just declared he’s still Tiger Fucking Woods.
  19. George Devore side hugged, kissed my then girlfriend now wife on the cheek at Antone’s in 2001...thought she was somebody else. I’ve always hated that guy. I moved here in 99. Lotsa Vallejo and Scab shows while I explored town. I don’t like them but was surprised nobody mentioned Blue October. Then Wiki told me they’re from Houston. Gotdamn they were here a lot for a while.
  20. This whole premise is flawed. Adam Sandler has shown the ability to make funny movies. I even liked some of his attempts at being more serious (I thought Reign Over Me was pretty good). Fans of Sandler can reasonably complain that he’s mostly stopped trying, so he can cash chicks and film with his buddies in Hawaii. We’re not talking about Rob Schneider here that just can’t carry a decent movie. Sandler can, he just doesn’t.
  21. Make it two, I liked 50 First Dates, too.
  22. I took two different girls to see Titanic in the theater. Worked both times. Thanks, Leo.

    I’m in Frisco for kid’s baseball, and the team ordered a bunch of meat from Hard 8 last night. Some of the brisket was pretty dry but there was one chunk of it that’d I’d call pretty good. Consistency varied a lot just on the amount of brisket we ordered. The ribs and jalapeño sausage were both very good. Graded on the serves all day curve (we ate around 7), I was overall pretty pleased with it.
