  1. Wait . . . you thought that was real?
  2. That's okay, you don't have to apologize?
  3. Are you asking us if the ESPN crawler said that?
  4. It does seem like a weird comment since last I looked the school had a relatively high acceptance rate. Is she set on going to school in Colorado?
  5. I can't stop laughing at Crying Lincoln. I'm dying here.
  6. Nice work! If she got into Mines and some of the others I recall from her list, she should get into Boulder. Merit aid at that school, however, is a different issue, as I've heard CU is very stingy with aid because so many nonresidents want to go there.
  7. Cheeseburgers did not exist in the Late Cretaceous epoch.
  8. No Russian or Thousand Island dressing?
  9. When you presume it makes a pres out of u and me.
  10. I like cheeseburgers.
  11. Why do you assume a guy named Parker Livingstone is white?
  12. For what it's worth, I now swear by lysine. It's supposed to help suppress a virus from replicating itself, to either help with recovery if already sick, or to keep the viral loads at check if a family member is sick. You might head to Central Market or People's and get some, taking 1,000 mg a day. Whenever someone in my family gets sick now, or we start to feel anything like a cold or other illness come on, we start popping the lysine for a few days.
  13. Never watched that with my kids, but young South Austin loved it when it came on HBO during the Christmas season in the early 80s.
  14. Really hard to tip valet and similarly-situated workers these days since I rarely carry cash. At least businesses like airport shuttles now have a QR code on the bus that let's you tip via online. I'm guessing most valet services will start doing the same if they haven't already adapted.
  15. LET THE BOY RUN YOUR OFFENSE!!!
  16. I’ve gotten the actual flu, like, influenza, a couple times in middle life, and it’s God awful. Never any GI issues, but the fever and body aches that I feel deep to my spinal cord were miserable, lasting 3-4 days. No appetite whatsoever. Hope she gets on the mend by next so she feels better for Christmas.
  17. We’ve been talking about a 12-team playoff for years, and now it’s not only happening, but it’s happening in Austin!!! From northwest Austin, ready to kick the shit out of South Carolina aggy . . .
  18. Which direction should I point my antenna?
  19. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra-ra-ra-ra!
  20. Yes, usually white men. Though I'm sure someone would point to a not insignificant amount of African American gang violence. So I don't mind broadly speaking of all men and our gender's significant shortcoming when it comes to violence.
  21. What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874. You'll be able to sue her.
  22. Indeed they are the worst. I hadn't followed the story much yesterday, and only this morning listening to NPR on my drive to work did I learn the shooter was a girl, which struck me because it's so rare. You can accuse me of painting with a large brush, but the overwhelming majority of our country's school and other mass shootings, as well as other murders and serial killers, have been men. I'm not trying to unduly flog my own male gender, but the newsworthy aspect of this particular mass shooting that the shooter was a girl merits discussion. Goddammit men, when are we going to get our shit together?!?!
  23. It's only a matter of time. The stupidest guy in my fraternity became an architect, after he flunked out of dental school.
