  1. WTF are you babbling about now?
  2. No way. Free markets always lead to pure competitive price wars that are in the consumer's best interest. I read it here.
  3. My older son was the "chicken man" at the Burnet location, he made it for us at home several times. Their chicken kicks ass.
  4. Huh. I just now remember I saw Built To Spill a long while back -- I think it was at Austin Music Hall? As I recall they were a trio at the time.
  5. Amazon already bought Whole Foods. Adding a "value" chain might make sense.
  6. I can't remember if I've asked this before -- I saw a food channel feature on Pinkerton's and he claimed to smoke over mesquite. Texas Monthly says he starts on mesquite and finishes on post oak. Either way, does this somewhat dispel the claims that mesquite shouldn't be used to smoke low and slow?
  7. Thanks for that information. So I was "right", but the spread is pretty minimal.
  8. I'll check. Update: they just signed a record deal with Third Man (Jack White's label).
  9. I think I'd like to see Pink. I don't really like her music all that much but she can sing and her concerts seem to be complete spectacles.
  10. I read a blurb today where Perry's wife says he doesn't drink. Then she said he rarely consumes more than 1/3 bottle of wine (which would be less than 2 drinks). Uh, yeah, by all accounts he drinks a shit ton more than that, honey.
  11. And when we beat Mississippi State 38-7 they'll just say it was a weak opponent, in the alleged meat grinder conference.
  12. I bought a VW for my wife a month ago, used the CostCo pricing program, and they fucked up and gave me the dealer discount off the CostCo pricing. They owned it, I wasn't gonna turn it down. We did get the full court press for add-ons, etc. when paying, though. They didn't bitch too much. It was closing time and they wanted out of there. Nicer car than I thought it would be. Wife picked it, I'm smart enough not to argue something like that. Still not very smart, but smart enough.
  13. Why are there people sitting there watching? Are they family? Is he the opener for some other event? Weird.

    And while all y'all tastemakers hate Eagles, this is a damn good song:

    Those two clips posted by @Beau Vine capture his brilliance. Great hooks, great lyrics, great vocals. Damn.
  16. Good lord, I can't believe I hung on for 20 seconds.
  17. I have no hard data, but I would imagine Anderson kids score a bit better on tests. It's a really good school, and the IB program is pretty rigorous. Well, yeah, but I don't think that's a big concern for them. Another issue is kids dropping out their senior year, shrinking their class size. A lot of that might happen after the point where changes in rank don't matter.
  18. I'm starting to feel like HEB is about to take over the grocery world and we will all go broke once they own it all.
  19. lol wut? Tell me you haven't ever worked with engineers without telling me, you know . . .
  20. I dig it! Your solos are very Terry Kath-esque. (That's a compliment.) Did you play both solo parts? There's a different left/right thing going on. Not to touch too many easy references, but somehow some of that piano gives me a John Lennon vibe.
  21. Ooh, I want that LP Jr double cut.
