  1. Got some promo tix to Sturgill + Skynyrd in Georgetown 4/6 (Two Step Inn Festival). I've never seen Sturgill, I'm looking forward to it.
  2. LMAO -- my daughter's band is doing their full-length album for Third Man the next 3 weeks in Philadelphia. Check out the studio's amp collection.
  3. Today I parked in a lot next to what I assume was a small Tesla sedan. It had no badge. It also had no occupants. I was checking some messages before going into the store I was patronizing and I was stunned to see this car pull out and drive towards the store entrance. Zero humans. It actually started to cut off another vehicle (with driver) who honked and stopped. I'm sorry, but that's just very unnerving and not really ready for prime time. PS I'm a mechanical engineer who has done a bit of controls work in my career, I'm not a luddite.
  4. Oh, look. Dan BingoBongo must have called out Rosie for her move to Ireland so all the typical boot-lickers are lining up to spew the "party" line. You idiots are so fucking predictable, not to mention trivially easy to manipulate. Get fucked, fatty.
  5. Well, no. Roughly 1% the size of Rhode Island.
  6. Is Arkansas just screwed even though A&M was DQ'ed?
  7. "Uppity"? Odd, coming from you. There is a shit ton of talent within throwing distance of Austin. I guess Ann Arbor has Chicago, but not as close as Dallas + Austin + Houston. Beyond that, money + weather + lifestyle matter. But sure, maybe some guys prefer Ann Arbor. I really don't care.
  8. I wonder if I would rather live in Austin or Ann Arbor. Recruit in Texas or Michigan. Gosh, it's a puzzle.
  9. It actually doesn't work that cleanly all the time. I know you're skeptical, but there are times when I simply can't get the game, doing the same god damned thing. I have a sub to ESPN+ and I get SEC Network via DirecTV. Believe it or not, it's not 100% foolproof.
  10. Right. Out in the middle of nowhere it's nowhere near as costly. (Not that I wish anyone to lose their house or hay barn or whatever.)
  11. Just for a sense of scale, 9600 acres is roughly a 3.9 mile x 3.9 mile square in terms of area. It's big, but it's not as big as most people assume.
  12. My then-girlfriend worked at The Pit on 5th. It had a common hallway with some politico bar -- O Henry's? -- and we'd go back there and drink boilermakers and other old politician drinks with famous Capitol dudes cheating on their wives. The bbq was not good. The girlfriend? Much better.
  13. I have my sister, and she is the greatest person on earth. Between her, my wife (who is more conservative than I in some respects but who rails against the bullshit) and my kids (who are typical kids trying to feel their way) I feel incredibly blessed. I do have a Fox News aunt I try to tolerate, and various cousins for whom I have no political read and almost zero contact. It's a crazy world.
  14. 92 years old, we'll let it slide.
  15. Honestly, I had forgotten how fun it is to watch them suffer in our shadow. Being in different conferences robbed me of that basic right.
  16. Yeah, I saw the film but didn't connect it to your reference. Thanks.
  17. Yeah, gingers.
  18. Can you decode this for us civilians?
  19. Beef ribs were my go-to at County Line in the 90s. They were decent, the sides were good, the place wasn't a dump, and it was just about as good as it got in Austin. Certainly better than Ruby's (Rudy's didn't exist). Maybe below House Park or a couple of east side joints, I didn't really get much of a chance to try those. Had a couple of OK plates from Sam's. What else was there w/o going out of town? Oh yeah, Logan's. That was hangover food. Bert's, that was better.
  20. Wall worthy, in my opinion.
  21. I was mainly saying that LL is way more attractive, even at her worst.
  22. No, that's where you go for WW2 talk.
  23. Yep, that's classic Little Dog Syndrome.
  24. Thanks, I didn't pick up on that. It might have been that 4th beer. Could have been the 6th, but it was probably the 4th.
