  1. I was the Texas v. TCU game in November 2016, which was Charlie Strong's last as head coach. It's going to feel like that.
  2. As far as I can tell, they ended brunch with covid. I've checked its website every now and then to see if it's made a return, and no luck. The Sunday buffet with a michelada was one of my favorite breakfasts in town, and worth the steep price.
  3. I grew up between Northern Virginia and the North Carolina coast, and both can get Houston-level humidity. But it's relatively short-lived compared to Texas. I have fond memories of my childhood in Virginia (mostly Quantico, and 3 years in Fredericksburg). But the area has been pretty much paved over. Still, if I had no anchor to Texas and somebody told me I could either stay in Austin or move to NoVa, I'd be awfully tempted to move.
  4. As an experiment, I'd like to try Gumby's pizza during the daylight when I'm sober.
  5. This is an understated life lesson I plan on passing along to my son.
  6. When I was a young attorney, maybe 2001 or so, a partner at my firm was speaking at a CLE on some subject addressing oral advocacy, and he got to a section in his presentation about the need for succinctness and brevity, and he opened with this clip, and it brought the house down.
  7. Damn, my post from May 21, 2019, which was about a week before that marriage blew up in spectacular fashion. I guess I need to take my (second) wife to Sienna sometime.
  8. You son of a bitch.
  9. And if there was an effective vaccine for that, 50% of Americans would reject it.
  10. Republicans are hypocrites. Film at 11.
  11. Not sure about other locations, but I went to the one near Rollingwood once and it had a douchey vibe.
  12. In all fairness, I probably would have declined a call from Donald Trump while he was president.
  13. Well, this whole thing is just who knows who. Then over here you have favoritism.
  14. Joining a bowling league would be more difficult than the offensive game plans he designed at aggy.
  15. Wasn't a huge fan of any of them, but they certainly were significant parts of the Gen X childhood/early adulthood.
  16. Deductions for low carb tortilla and plate, but it's still a solid 8/10. And I know japs are a mainstay on this thread, but I have a jar of pepperoncini in my fridge at all times.
  17. I'd be surprised if that merchandise was limited to just a table.
  18. I remember that. And some of those fuckers would casually draw their guns without warning and fire a shot, and then have a big shit-eating grin when the students walking to class around them would freak the fuck out.
  19. I've said it before (maybe on this thread or another), but I've done dry January for many years, and the older I get (I'll be 50 in December) the more I notice how just dropping alcohol for one month will make a very significant difference in my body fat. Alcohol is not only empty calories, but it fucks with your metabolism more as you get older. One of my best friends who turns 51 in a couple months has been complaining about putting on more weight the past couple years despite a fairly regimented exercise schedule. I would never tell her this, but a 50 year old woman can't drink 2+ glasses of wine each weeknight and more on the weekend and not expect the weight gains to kick in. And her husband likely won't tell her either if he wants to continue getting laid.
