  1. I'd go with Maliki. He cried when Rancor was killed, indicating some level of emotional tenderness. There's a chance he would be gentle.
  2. But they didn't vote to shut down their plant!!!
  3. Halftime Motivator.
  4. It's because the recent attention that Tech has been getting is momentarily distracting him from his envious obsession with Texas.
  5. I was at La Cantera a few weekends ago for a wedding, and I hadn't been since about 2007 or so. I don't remember it being that bad. The rooms were fine and the space and location are still very nice. But holy shit the food all over that place was so low quality, and the service staff seemed clueless at the notion of above-average hospitality. When did that place go down the shitter?
  6. That's good stuff there.
  7. Hmmm. 98,300 online students. Does its place in the rankings include online bullying?
  8. The weird part about that is he has no kids.
  9. And why strain the beaten eggs? (Sorry if that belonged in the stupid questions thread.)
  10. They're out of you!
  11. Wait . . . Grand fucking Canyon University has over 100,000 students? Are a bunch of those remote/online?
  12. I hear this intro and it takes me back to the end of Real Genius and being a kid in the 1980s.
  13. Fair. But I wasn't at UT for the McWilliams era.
  14. Quality of female students walking though the south mall on a Spring day.
  15. Abbott is such a fucking loser.
  16. Sounds like something someone who's buried lots of bodies would say.
  17. Hey fuck you, pal.
  18. Probably not much. I think that song has been a mainstay on the setlists for all of their tours going back to 1987.
  19. Yeah, we're in an age full of scams, so it's appropriate to be skeptical of a lot of disaster relief funds. I'll figure out how to donate in other ways, but I'm making it a habit to add a few bucks on the HEB bill every time I check out, when I've usually blown over those charitable contributions in the past. I'm confident that money (hopefully accumulating by thousands of others statewide doing the same at their HEBs) will be put to good use.
  20. The 70s soundtrack in the Guardians trilogy was almost a character itself. I can see why Gunn wanted to use an orchestral score for the most part, so it wouldn't seem like an extensive soundtrack was a schtick. I liked the subtle homage to John Williams' score.
  21. Would have posted this one. The song has been overplayed since its release. But when you see it live, like I did when the band opened with it in Boston in 2015, it's pretty fucking awesome.
  22. My senior year was okay. Ten wins, last SWC champions, a win at aggy, the first year of Ricky's record-breaking career, my first trip to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. But it was still Mackovic'd with an unacceptable tie against a shitty OU team after a huge lead at halftime, and a flat performance in the loss to Virginia Tech.
