Tell Me About Texas a&m
I didn't have a brother. My friends who had big brothers were subject to endless torture that played on their faults, their immaturity, their goofyness. This torture ranged from titty twisters and swirlies to dropping a loogie on their face, failing to pick them up from school when it was raining or broadcasting their crushes to the entire student body. I like to think of this thread as a manifestation of my lack of a little brother, and I will gleefully pile on at their endless failures in engaging reality. It is the most predictable thing in the world, like the flu in winter or taxes in April. I've been watching these twits fail EVEN WHEN THEY BEAT US for over 40 years. It is one of the great joys in my life.

Lyle Lovett is a f'n genius. REKeen is closer to d-list and even he has written some great songs. A&M is lucky to claim both of them.

Trump’s America
I'm not gonna lie, I wish Trump weren't POTUS, but watching his escalating meltdowns is hilarious (and potentially terrifying).

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
That's a great idea. Can't try it tomorrow, we're doing turkey and ham, but I'm putting it on the list.

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
Annual full disclosure: that isn't "my" horseradish sauce recipe. I think I nicked it from Food Network years ago. It's easy and tasty for sure.

The past few days has been like Christmas in December. Wait, never mind, you know what I mean.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Just the other day I was wondering how much "free" services (pickup/delivery) were helping inflate prices. Take groceries: I guess there is some reduction in in-store employee headcount if more people are shopping "remotely", but I'm pretty sure net employment is up, and we're paying for it in the sticker prices of food, etc. I have no idea how that effect might compare to supply chain issues, etc.

I'm bordeline obsessed with this band. They just have "it". I want to see them tour with Little Simz.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
Looks like some wire-haired fox terrier in there. I had one for probably 15 years after I got out of college. Agnes of Dog. SUPER smart and a giant pain in my ass. Loved her.

Sean Miller is already losing me
I don't care about basketball nearly so much as I care about rock 'n roll, and that right there is a master fucking class. It's one of my go-to videos when someone asks something stupid like "what does a great frontman really mean?" or "what exactly does it mean to be a rippin' live band that isn't exactly tight as a duck's ass?". How's our men's basketball team doing?

Chili w/o beans
I'd keep them separate just because of the radically different heat levels. Step your way into the amount of chipotle and (especially) cayenne and take notes on the final blend. After that, I see no reason not to make your own personal pepper blend, but those heat levels can vary from plant to plant and even pepper to pepper. I have never seen any rationale for staging the addition of peppers throughout the cook (like cumin as you alluded).

RIP Chris Rea
I loved "Texas". I never knew "Fool" was the same guy. VERY different sounds. RIP, Mr. Rea.

Would I prefer we had made the playoff? Yes. Has this been one helluva 18 hour stretch? Yes.

My CEO is related (either niece or 1st cousin once removed) to their singer. I went down the rabbit hole on their videos.

I'll admit I wasn't blown away by the first things I heard out of them, but they treated my daughter's band with great kindness and respect on their tour together. I'll tip my cap. (Honestly, I was terrified.)

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
Randalls has USDA Choice bone-in rib roasts for $8.97 per pound in Austin. You gotta clip the coupon in the app and sign in at checkout, otherwise it's $9.99/lb. EDIT: fine print says "with an additional $50 purchase", which may not be problematic, although alcohol never applies.

Frozen Pizza - Because sometimes is just sounds good.
I saw some frozen pizza shootout the other day that determined Kirkland was the best one out there. I bought them a decade or more ago because kids + CostCo cheap, but I don't recall them being transcendent or anything. Have they changed?
